We’re in the Kingdom Businessman Blueprint, where we’re learning how to build businesses that last and leadership that impacts generations.

Many men dream of building something big—a thriving business, a powerful legacy, a life of influence. But true success isn’t just about scaling up—it’s about multiplying kingdom impact.

God didn’t give you a business just for you. He gave it to you as a platform to disciple, mentor, and influence others. But before you can expand, you have to ask: Am I building something that honors God, or just something that serves me?

MY SUCCESS WAS MY FAILURE

During the pandemic, my virtual staffing agency went through a rapid expansion. My company was thriving—new clients, more employees, massive revenue growth. On the surface, it looked like success.

But behind the scenes, something was off. My team was disorganized. The culture was toxic. The employees were just chasing money, not a mission. Eventually, my agency started falling apart—not because the vision was too big, but because the foundation wasn’t strong enough to sustain growth.

It’s easy to get caught up in expansion, thinking that success means more clients, more money, more influence. But if your faith impact shrinks while your business grows, you’ve built the wrong thing.

OUR GROWTH IS AT RISK

Us men are wired to think big, dream big, and build big. But before expanding outward, we have to look inward:

Who are we investing in? Are we raising up the next generation of leaders?
What values are we transferring? Is our business built on kingdom principles or just worldly ambition?
What kind of legacy are we leaving? Will our impact outlive us, or does everything rely on us alone?

BUT GOD HAS A PLAN

In Ephesians 1:11, Paul reminds us that we have an inheritance in Christ, and that inheritance isn’t just for us—it’s meant to be passed on.

"In Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will."

This is the model of biblical expansion:

Abraham invested in Isaac.
Elijah mentored Elisha.
Jesus discipled the Twelve.
Paul trained Timothy.

None of these men built just for themselves—they expanded God’s kingdom by investing in others.

True kingdom expansion in Godpreneurship happens when we multiply ourselves in others.

Many business leaders focus on scaling profits, but kingdom leaders focus on scaling people.

…If our business is growing, but our leadership isn’t, we're missing the point…

…If our influence is expanding, but our faith isn’t, our foundation is weak…

…If our company is getting bigger, but the people around us aren’t getting stronger, we're building the wrong thing…

YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO TURN IT AROUND

Kingdom expansion isn’t about chasing numbers—it’s about building people.

Who are you discipling in your business?

Who are you mentoring in your industry?

What values are being passed down to your employees, clients, and partners?

Jesus didn’t just do ministry alone—he trained twelve men who would continue the mission after him. If your business, leadership, or influence disappears when you step away, it means you haven’t built for expansion—you’ve built for control.

If you want to prepare for real expansion, it’s time to shift your mindset:
