HE “FIVE TALENTS PRINCIPLE”:
How a 2,000-Year-Old Lesson Reveals the #1 Rule of Growth in Business
In Matthew 25, Jesus told a story that might be the most important business lesson ever recorded.
A master was leaving on a long journey.
Before he left, he entrusted three of his servants with resources.
One received five talents of silver.
Another received two talents.
The last received one talent.
A talent was not a coin.
It was a lifetime’s worth of wages…a massive investment.
The master expected them to do something with it.
The servant with five talents went immediately to work.
He invested.
He traded.
He multiplied.
He turned five into ten.
The servant with two did the same.
He doubled what he had.
But the servant with one talent?
He dug a hole and buried it in the ground.
No action.
No risk.
No effort.
No return.
