Jesus was one of the greatest Men who ever lived and even though he lived for only 33 years, he was the Bible character who achieved the most things while alive

Now as a christian if someone told you that Jesus was a business man you may not understood where the person is coming from. But the truth is that even if we don't know Jesus as a business man, he still used business principles to achieve a lot of things during his earthly ministry

I talked about the Importace of attention in my post yesterday, and it was one of the things that palyed a vital role for Jesus.

For example, we all know that the Internet is filled with lots of content, but like I always ask, how many of those content are actually worth reading ?. We are in a period where people are actually hungry for good content, and the amount of people who can actually give that are becoming lesser by the day

Wisdom is the ability to discern difference

Most people pray for wisdom and understanding without actually knowing the deeper meaning of It. Wisdom is not just something you have, it is something your apply. Wisdom is the ability to take decisions, understanding is needed to endure the consequences of decisions

So what do you think are the business secrets of Jesus, how could he have achieved all he did within three and half years of ministry, the following are the business secrets of Jesus

Attention

Apart from his teachings, the miracles of Jesus was another thing that enabled him get the attention of many Israelites,and among those Miracles, feeding the five thousand was one that I am sure will pull crowds wherever he went

His content was very good, but when people also knew that there was a chance they will get physical food in addition to spiritual food, they had more reasons to go and listen to him talk

We all know that he fed the five thousand out of compassion, but it was an added bonus to his attention grabbing effort.

This does not take away the fact that his teachings were very refreshing and live changing to the jews who were already over burdned by the Law of Moses

Come unto me all you that are heavy laden and i will give you rest (Matthew 11:28)

Ask and you shall recieve (Matthew 7:7)

His revelation of a new dimension in people's walk with God, gained him attention. prior to his arrival people did not believe that they could have a personal relationship with God, they have always gone through the Priest

For your business to prosper you have to gain the attention of people

Problems

Jesus knew the problems of the people he was trying to reach. if you don't know the problems of the people that you are trying to reach, then you don't know why they need you in the first place

Knowledge in this aspect is the seed of attention. You must first research and know the problem that people are facing. You have to master the art of listenting.

When Jesus sat by the jacob well (John 4:6). He must have listened to the complaints of the women that came there to fetch water of how far the well was from the city. So when the samaritan women came, He told her

All who drink will be thirsty again. But whosoever drinks of the water that i give, will never be thirsty again

Even though the water he was talking about was not physical water, he succeeded in gaining the attention of the woman, who did not want to take the daily trip to the well

So for you to succeed in whatever you are doing, find the problems of people and solve them

Expertise

Another thing that made Jesus stand out was that he remain in his area of expertise, he did not branch out to teach the law of Moses because it was trending

Even when the pharisees constantly accused him of blasphemy he still remained true to his message.

I will use Steemit as an example. There are a lot of people writing posts on topics that they are not familiar with, and this is rampant in the Cryptocurrency tag. People who write these posts feel that it is a way of achieving high earnings

They end up shooting themsevels in the foot, because what builds a blog is engagement, and that cannot be achieved if you constantly put yourself in unfamiliar territory

You have to test yourself and check your strenghts and weaknesses. When you discover them, double down on your strenght and eliminate your weaknesses

Equip

This principle is more applicable in the business world. You have to equip those who are working under you

Jesus equipped and trained his disciples before sending them out to towns and villages to preach the gospel. There are some business people who fail to train their staff out of the fear that they will leave

What they fail to realize is that everyone single one of their workers represents the business, and the public perception of them will be the public perception of the business
