Title: Mind Your Business 2
(Emperors And Kings)
“The empires of the future are empires of the mind.” ~ Winston Churchill
An Empire could be defined as an extensive group of countries or states under a single supreme authority, usually an emperor or empress.
It would be right then to say that an empire is like a group of businesses belonging to, and under the supervision of one individual like Aliko Dangote.
The CEO As An Emperor
A CEO can be likened to an emperor if he/she has successfully built one business that has emerged into a group of businesses.
In a monarchy emperors and Kings are considered rulers but the power or level of authority of each is different. The difference between both can be likened to the difference between the CEO of a company and the manager. An emperor rules the empire with many kingdoms/managers under him, but the King/Queen/managers rules over one kingdom/Jurisdiction per time.
This is similar to what we have in the business world. The way some people are building will make them emperors in the future, and others Kings.
The CEO As A King
The CEO as a king is he who successful builds one business and he's fine. There's really nothing wrong with that, but, I think we undermine our potential when we can become emperors but remain kings, and when we can becomes kings but end up servants/employees.
A man's mind is his greatest asset. Everyman's mind is very noble and loyal to him, it doesn't allow into your life what you can't conceive.
I know the greatest gold mine in the world; it's your mind. It makes you an emperor, a king or a servant. It all depends on you.
