Empire Example 1
Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes
Since my patna Tony wanted to know how a empire gets started. I have a example that I use for my own blueprint to understand how long things take and what moves I will probably have to make myself. The empire takes more than a day because it’s truly a in depth plan of accumulation. Accumulating smaller things that lead to bigger things and then those bigger things turn into the Empire. But, we are all capable of following the blueprint if we truly want to.
So in the first Empire Example I present to you Darden Restaurants! If you click on the name you’ll go right to their history of how the first guy just had a 25 seat restaurant in Georgia. He didn’t do anything special but have in mind that he could build more. But, instead of having small town thinking this guy went on to acquire other people’s restaurants which became the Empire it is today.
I know some of you are shocked because you didn’t know all these restaurants that you’ll probably be going to tonight were all under the same umbrella. When you dig around a bit you start noticing that Kats are not into just one line of business as they are trying to dominate a whole sector. Althought Darden seems focused on restaurants you can best believe they have ideas on taking over areas that might be a good connection into what they have now.
Now I found out about Darden because they have a Brother named Clarence Otis as the CEO and usually he is on CNBC. Now I’m sure some of you want to know how he got to be CEO and ME I wanted to know who owned Darden Restaurants. Now I’m glad for the Brother but in the end my intent is to start my own Empire and probably lean on him in the future for some great operational information.
Either way Enjoy! Check out the timeline and check out the whole site. You’ll find that from humble beginnings and the willingness to think big this kat turned his business into a Empire! It’s what we all should be thinking as that will allow you to make it through the time no one thought your idea could be the seed to so much more!

that is genius having different businesses, but under the same person
people are different, so they wont stick to the same place, but if you have difference places you can capture every person taste
a few years back i didnt know coca cola did this type of stuff as well
pure genius
I have a similar concept on how to expand my empire once its started. Then what I am going to do is have my employees competing with each other for a prize on who can earn the most revenue.
Then I will have custoemrs thinking that we are competing when at the end of the day all the companies are under the same brand.
Pure genious!!!!!
On point once again Freeman. Here are some additional examples of hidden Empires you guys may not have known about.

@Jay – It’s the monopoly homie! If you own all the choices in the game they will end up at one of your places. It lets you know Darden isn’t a normal place or have normal people at the top. Otherwise they would just be Burger King and push that shit only. McD’s bought Chipotle as they need to diversify in this game too.
Coca cola is the King of this angle as they buy up new soft drinks all the damn time on the low and then pull a Sam Adams and let the customers think they are still a start up.
@Anubis – Bruh, all you have to do is read some corporate management techniques aka Hokey Pokey tactics and you’ll see they have the Willie Lynch letter already written on manipulating slaves.
The game is already written it’s just we have to take the pieces and put them in our puzzle. Whenever you hear a employee saying the word Revenue, whether that be revenue sharing, revenue split; then you know that mawfvcker has changed his last name to Massa’s.
@DC – Great link bruh as that’s what I don’t think most of our folks don’t stop and realize. There are some companies out here owning damn near everything we touch. They are building a empire portfolio that can’t be stopped as they are wiping your ass and giving you a donut aka they got you coming and going in this game.
I actually saw this hustle blown up!! in Latin America when I traveled out there the owner of “Walmart’s” damn near has a franchise in every neighborhood of “VIP’s” ” TOK’s” and “Auerera” stores that rake in huge money the first 2 are restaurants and the last one is like a Safeway or Trader joe’s and the shit is literally packed every place in the upscale city where Carlos Slim own a lot of property of MX
It’s just a smart move on anyone’s part to start owning everything related to the game they are in. If you could own the toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss and teeth whitner you would own the whole damn mouth game.
It’s just a different way of approaching the game. If you owned the corner store, laundromat, cleaners, car wash, daycare, restaurant, gas station and discount clothing place in a very small area you would dominate. It’s a monopoly approach to the game and we are all capable of doing that in our areas. All poor areas have these opportunities right now.
