Publisher's Synopsis
Feasibility studies are not always feasible in the spiritual world of business. Computer-aided process planning and strategic alliances are impotent, in the face of demonic manipulation and remote control. Business process re-engineering is fickle, in the field of charms and 'jazz', diabolical powers. The business world is a war zone. There are unfriendly friends as business partners. Friendly fires accompany joint ventures. It is a battle zone full of deception, cruelty, self-abuse, compromise, charms, risk, demonic manipulation and disappointment. Come to think of it, 90 percent of businesses set up today will die within the next five years It is only 10 out of 100 of those who survive the first five years, that will last another five years. That was our finding at 2007 when our sixth book, 'HOW TO MAKE YOUR FIRST MILLION' was published. Five years later, the reality is this: 99% of all starting businesses will fail within ten years. The global economic recession was not in sight and never predicted as a possibility by economic experts. Millions of jobs have been lost, well established businesses, world class companies came crumbling. Stock market worldwide collapsed. Money failed once again on earth. All the scientific postulations and high-sounding theories have fallen flat on their faces. The foundation of the mighty Wall Street Barons, J. B. Morgan Empire, media empires, even oil companies are crumbling. The heat is burning as predicted by the Book of books, "For behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as oven, and all the proud, yea, all that do wickedly shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave neither rot nor branch" (Malachi 4:1). MONEY FAILETH The global financial situations world has passed the stage of prophecy. It is happening real time, big time, rapidly now. Money is fast loosing its value. The lower denominations of most countries are already being phased. out. As at the week of this writing, Central Bank of Nigeria was about converting N5, N10 and N20 notes into coins. US dollar is losing its place in the global basket of currencies. Financial Times reported that in August 2012, the Central Banks of Nigeria and Tanzania joined their counterparts from other continents, in adding more Chinese renminbi or Yuan to their reserves. The Managing Director of Standard Bank, Beijing, China Bing Fan predicted, "We expect that in five years, roughly 20 percent of the African total reserves of $500bn will go renminbi." His reason? "As the dollar loses its value and the euro stands on the edge of the cliff, the renminbi has posed as the best choice at the moment for the African Central Bank reserve portfolio." Well, Fan was wise enough to limit his comment to "at the moment." That was as it was in Egypt of old, it is now. "And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said; give us bread; for why should we die in thy presence? For the money faileth" (Gen 47:15). The times ahead are impossible times, too hot to be handled with human strength. "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall" (Malachi 4:2).
