The theory is that there are certain main industries that control other industries, businesses that work well accompanied with other businesses. An empire lives, it breathes and grows by expanding itself into other related areas. Understanding that there are main industries in this world it is possible (in theory) for a person/s to start in one arena and expand into as many others as possible all functioning off of one another until sucess (whatever itsdefinition) is found.

The main industries no matter where you are are as follows;[/align]

• 
  [align=left]Property[/align]
• 
  [align=left]Finance[/align]
• 
  [align=left]Energy[/align]
• 
  [align=left]Commerce[/align]
• 
  [align=left]Travel[/align]
• 
  [align=left]Media[/align]
• 
  [align=left]Law[/align]

[align=left]There are others and I'm probably getting my termanology twised as I'm a bit ill at the moment. Bear with me.

The main most easily accesable and lucrative industry to get into is Finance with its various subheadings as it were;[/align]

• 
  [align=left]Finance = Mortages, Loans, Banking, Investment, Stocks and Shares....[/align]

[align=left]Even with these, "subheadings" they are further expandable into their own arenas, business finance for example so you have Business loans,business bankingand various other offshoots. As with all the aforementioned industries it is an entitymade up of several othersand all industries should be seen as such as this is how to build an empire.

Starting in Finance now as an example. Again, I'm appraching this as theory, if I were to really go at it it would be best to get into Marketing as it is the core of all businesses no matter how diffrent they may be. One of the easiest and most lucrativeareas to get into is the selling of Mortgages and Loans, where you act as a middleman between the bank and the customer, finding the customer and more or less faxing off their request to bankers for them to see if they can or cannot lend said person the funds they want after valuing their assets. All minus the jargon, qualified sales people can be found who are happy to work on commission, how the business is run is not part ofthe theory here.

Once a person is established in the selling of mortgages and loans the business can grow, not just into other areas of the finance industry (debt management &collection, accountancy...) but into other industries to better compliment its standing in its ownarena. Themost obvious one to nowlook into would be; Property. As a person knows the right people to lend money and give mortgages an Estate agency can be setup (using ones contacts to secure a goodpremisis even)to compliment the Finance company, offering deals on mortgages to clients buying property backed by the right bank and selling them through the Estate agency as owned by yourself. You now have two businesses working together complimenting one another totally and are well on your way to defining what sucess means. From here a person can expand further into the Property industry, get into lettings, property magagement,overseas property. The way being easier carved as said person would be well backed up by the sisterfinance company.

By now you can see where I'm going.Starting up in one arena a person can use the knowledge of said arena to their advantage in taking on a new one. With the right skills a person could own a mortgage company selling finance and an Estateagency and be well ahead of the game as many people do. Get into developments/rennovation,hire your own trades peopleto work for you on developments as well as in your property management company as they'll be needed to fix this and that problem. Get into overseas property and so on.

There is then a formula to sucess, a formula for the industrious persons to building an empire over the years which would need to be carried by each generation tobetteritself over the yearsbut is totally feasable simply by working/thinking of business in this manner. All companies would be set up under diffrent names so its not always obvious that they are all owned by the same company or person. Each one working for the other until they can be brought under one umbrella but this is how to build an Empire.

Was hoping to really go at it but I'm busy at the moment.

hmm..structure leads to infrastructure. Structure begins with family.

True.

Its taught naturally for the most part, the problem with us is that we have a thing with being ruled after the Maafa and so find it difficult being sub anything. Has nothing to do with heading your own empire though.

The idea is to have successfull businesses in each of the main industries once a person can utilise these companies, have them working with one another theres nothing stopping them from taking up new projects with almost guarenteed sucess.

Does anyone get my thinking or shall we turn this into a thread about the functions of the family unit? No matter how much a person enjoys running their business a line should be drawn, too many business men and women have offices at home bringing their days stress home with them, they end up treating their home like a work place and their family like workers who have to tip toe around them as an employee might with a boss at work.

Dishonesty.

Fraud.

Theft.

Ruthlessness.

Dictatorship.

Ok what are you talking about?

You need an imperialistic social psychology to start with.

um

Business empires usually involves risk. That's what you use to build an empire.

Risky labor.

I think building an empire is the easy part.

Maintaining the empire is the hard part.

These days I would not recommend maintaining empires. Too expensive.

Look at the news, alot of companies are selling themselves because of this issue.

I have seen an increase of property management companies in courts with not only tenants but with utility and insurance companies over issues of maintenance.
