The ultimate business strategy is to have God on your side. At that point you achieve the best you have the natural endowment to achieve and more. At that point all otherwise overwhelming business problems will become mere routine, at that point, difficult business problems will be solved in the spiritual realm. At that point, what is yours will naturally come to you, at the appropriate time in the required portion.
Success is achieved when you realise God’s purpose for you in life and can attain it. You must agree that every being is made for the Lord’s pleasure and to achieve a certain desired goal. Success is not wealth or material gain neither is wealth success. Success is beneficial achievement which results in satisfaction, peace and happiness. Success is joy within yourself and your fellow man. Success is contentment.
Not everyone can be rich, some are better suited at managing money than others. They must realize that they are simply custodians of the wealth and not owners. Any wealth owned by any body that does not benefit the generality of mankind is either not properly acquired or properly used. It can be in fact destructive.
No one is destined to be poor either. If you are, then you must be doing something wrong. If you notice there is nothing like poor profession, people have been known to become millionaires from sports, digging the ground, cleaning toilets, sweeping the floor and all sorts of business endeavours and activity. What you need is God’s consent and blessings in whatever you do. The rest is a question of time. Consequently, if you find that you have realized God’s purpose for you in life, you will be comfortable, satisfied at peace and consequently wealthy. Afterall, how many beds can a man sleep in at one time? The rest is ego, vain glory and vanity.
Realizing God’s purpose does not also come automatically by being born again; a lot of ‘Born Again’ Christians accept the faith without seeking God’s face to confirm his request of them. Consequently, they are ‘‘Born Again’’ and still not satisfied. The Bible says, ask and you shall receive, may I add “in the proportion that you derive.”
To be successful in life, you must identify with God’s purpose for you, otherwise you will realize that with all your wealth, you are still not successful, not respected, not satisfied, not happy. Afterall, when you die, you certainly will not be able to take your wealth with you. I wonder if any one can tell me the difference between a rich corpse and a poor corpse, I wonder how much wealth each or either can command. Consequently, while on earth, we have to deal with the spirit world and store up our wealth there.
This can be achieved only by serving God truthfully and realized His ultimate purpose for us in our lives.

The above is irrelevant only if you do not believe in God, I doubt if there is any such person of whatever faith.
