Manifestations Of The Miraculous
Commerce By The Will Of God
From Your Ownership To His Kingdom Business
If you’ve never started a business, the first time can be a little scary. Especially because it takes a lot of hard work and planning. Only about half of all businesses survive five years or longer. If you are never owned a company, you should start with OmniAdvantage Business Solutions, Inc; the basics of ownership at https://omniadvantage.com.
If you have been running a small business and can't quite get past the "Ceiling" of growing further and faster, you may be ready to evolve from Ownership to Enterprise. It is a transformation from "Skillset" to "Mindset", and a shift from "Mine" to "God's".
A Kingdom Enterprise revolves around Visionary Leadership. The following is a list of "Essential Qualities" for a business to become an enterprise that thrives.
1. Visionaries SEE IT; it is not working harder, it's "State of Being" (Thinking)!!
Visionary leaders guide and inspire their companies toward a future that includes:
- Setting a clear and impactful vision
- Communicating that vision throughout the organization
- Pursuing new opportunities
- Embracing risk and change
- Inspiring others to pursue a common goal
2. Traits of An Kingdom Enterprising Company;
Concise Clarity: There is always a clear and exciting new innovation that motivates the whole organization achieve it.
Innovation: Understands the problem, evaluates risk, and "goes for it". This is contagious, increasing your organization’s culture of innovation and evolution.
Better employees: Visionary leaders with inspiring visions for their organization helps attract and retain the best and the brightest talent
Speeds up decision-making: Having their eye on solid goals speeds up "decision making" as everything, and everyone is committed to seeing that vision through
Builds resilience: A clear vision means a clear path for the organization to follow, enabling it to jump over unexpected obstacles
3. Enterprising Companies are always working towards the future;
Visionary leaders keep their focus on the future and make continuous improvements to get there. The vision you select for the organization occurs in an undefined place in the future. It might mean creating the top-selling product in a certain industry, or reaching a certain number of customers. But there is no time frame, they are always looking for it.
4. Create a Business Plan Based on Kingdom Principles orecast Financials
There is another very important difference in between an owner and a Enterprising Visionary; they use other people's money for growth prudently. Debt without a plan is a losing proposition. To grow, enterprising owners have a business/marketing plan with a reputation of accuracy. Visionaries learn to forecast the company's future needs. Banks give loans to companies that show how the funds will produce growth. Consistent accurate forecasting of financials create relationships of confidence with lenders.
5. Surround Yourself With People of Character and Creativity
I know I keep POUNDING a consultant, but I learned everything I needed to know from my consultant; after a few customers, and steady employees; he guided me through all the rest. I truly believe if The Lord had not put Tom in my life, I would have failed.
6. Have A Website and stay Humble on Social Business Platforms (LinkedIn)
In today’s digital era, it’s important to set up an online presence and possibly an e-commerce platform. BUT, you only do that if you sell online. Otherwise you simply use your website as a place for information and advertising.
7. Stand out from competition and seek God and relationships with other CEOs
If there was ONE ting I focused on more than anything else it was Creating Customer Relationships, especially Upper Management and CEOs. How?? CEOs tend to be outgoing but feel alone because they can see things others can't. I was friends with many CEOs and executives because I could SEE and speak their language, we solved problems together.
8. You Are Not Your Creator nor the Master of Your Destiny
Startups change drastically within their first few years, mainly in operations. The key to becoming an Enterprise is BEGIN the change, don't wait for it. When you look to God, your maker, creator, and MASTER of the universe; He will become the CEO of your business; the market and industry will follow. You will begin to anticipate, adapt, innovate, create, and implement new ideas and technology into your business constantly.
I Don't Get Paid Until You Do!!
I have started over a dozen businesses since my first company in 1990. By the 3rd year I met, and hired, a business consultant. And guess what, I couldn't afford one; could you??
But about 5 years later I realized I could not have accomplished what I did, and how quickly I did it, without one. I have ZERO doubt God put Tom in my life since we both went to the same AA meeting. And, he changed everything I thought I knew about business. I found out the type of business didn't matter; "business is business" when it comes to thinking and operating within any business structure.
My first three businesses in 5 years included Concrete Floor Resurfacing, Branding Custom Resins, and buying a bankrupt Structural Concrete Restoration company. There was only one thing in common with all; I put them into God's hands and ultimately they grew to multi-million dollar enterprises. Over time I understood success had nothing to do with WHAT I did, but listening to His Will in His Time.
If God wanted it....everything came easy and went right. If NOT, I strived for nothing. If God put it on my heart; It was easy to put the time and research into it.
There are many reasons why I have been successful ranging from Experience, Consultants, Experts, and Mentors. Each guided me through sound business practices. But without God, I would have failed in both business and life.
My goal from DAY ONE was to work myself out of a job, I have been successful doing that every time. If it looked like I could not get there, I closed it down. I've done that a few times, knowing when to cut your losses is not the same as failing.
If you are ready to dive in, hire a consultant. Good consultants and experts teach you valuable lessons. The best consultants don't charge unless you start making money, experts like accountants stop you from losing money.
Don't be afraid of adding strategic partners; GREED has killed every business I know in the name of "Mine"!!
Becoming A Strategic Tactition
God's Expanding Strategic Vision
Gibb Enterprise Logistics goes beyond developing a Strategic Plan of starting and operating a business. We develop a "Tactical Strategy" of creating synergistic Kingdom partnerships. My first company was created from a "God-Given" Entrepreneurial Vision. Expanding market share was a function of Enterprising Logistics.
The Lord gave me a tactical strategy to expand service offerings within the primary business model. I created multiple income steams opportunities within parallel partnerships. This Kingdom concept resulted in monetizing more opportunities while increasing customer satisfaction through effective leadership. Tactical efficiency lowered gross revenue but increased profit.
Become God's Chess Master
Consider the world doesn’t want you to live with divine purpose. It doesn’t want you to have an abundant life filled with meaning and hope for a better future. The enemy wants you to feel discouraged, depressed, anxious and hopeless; settling for mediocrity. The world wants you to give up on your dreams and create distance between you and God's purpose for your destiny
You may not know this enemy exists, but it does. It comes in many forms; it could look like your competition, potential customers who like the "status quo", but mainly it comes as doubt, guilt, and unworthy shame!! You may discout the enemy's power, but evil is subtle, cunning, and wants you to believe you are a failure.
I’m talking about every evil thing that comes against you, and it's time to prepare for the battle. You need to use "Tactical Logistics" as a weapon; a series of moves that expose weakness so you can incorporate new technology that will accomplish your goals.
Following The Footsteps of Christ
Gibb Enterprises will optimize your business by integrating "Kingdom Partnerships" into the structure of God's business strategy. We put companies in a place to succeed by playing only to their strengths and cover weaknesses with synergistic partnerships.
The companies I built utilized a "radical strategy" of creating partnerships within our industry, and partnering with companies outside of the industry to accomplish our goals. As founder and acting CEO, God limited my role to oversight; focusing on improving means, shoring up methods, and created synergistic opportunities with our partners to fiscally dominate our market.

What does this all mean for you? Building teams that include management and the workforce from the top to the bottom are an important part of how things must work in your company. This is not a daily occurrence, but even twice a year could make a big difference in your business when you all are seen working well together. This is especially true for people such as the account executive, whose success in sales depends on how well the team works with clients, product managers, and account executives.
