Investments

of four investments

1st: the wrong

investment

didn’t

target

the right

market

and lost everything

2nd: the easy investment

targeted a niche market

but just as quickly crashed

3rd: the red ocean

investment

Big Circuses Regional Circuses

followed the industry value curve

which seemed a safe option

(as they say)

“nobody got fired

for buying IBM”

but it was a mistake

because red ocean

competition kills

4th: the blue ocean

investment

reached unmet needs

across market boundaries

with non-customers

and brought HUGE success

10,000% return!!!

You paying

attention now?

In short, we have

considered...

four investment options

so it’s about you

oh, and

Him

and also the word of God

so this is a parable

in a case study

in a competition

what’s the real meaning?

if we are all

God’s investments

which one

are you?

1st: the wrong

investment

hearing the word of God but

not wanting to understand it

2nd: the easy investment

liking the word of God but

not taking it seriously

PIC: ?

3rd: the red ocean

investment

following the crowd

fear and greed

focussed on

4th: the blue ocean

investment

amazed by the

word of

God

applying & persevering

producing good fruit

so which

are you?
