Can mony actually grow on trees?

[money blogger]

They say money does not grow on trees, however rich people would argue that the concept is very possible. Do you think it's possible in theory?

Of course not! It grows on shrubberies! (US Dollars are printed on a blend of 75% cotton and 25% linen)

I consider investments a tree that grows money. So in my opinion yes and no..
Or do you mean literally grow on a tree?

[PetMom]

This is actually some seed companies advertising slogan now - yes it can if you got an orchard!

[devid fox]

Not possible for money to grow on trees. It grows on people's hard work. when an investor start he starts from a very few capital. Day by day it increase.

That's what I am thinking....investments are money trees. Plant them...take care of them and in time they will turn into huge money trees

The endowment fund at our synagogue uses a tree as their logo for just this reason. "Plant" now by putting money in and the temple will benefit for years to come by receiving the "fruit" of that money tree.

i wish. right now i would be cruising abound the city with a brand new ferrari and ten get to my private gulfstream for a holiday in monaco and them go to my fancy house in palm jumeira. if wished were horses, there would be no need for frugality

I guess in a round about way. Certain things that grow on trees have value and can be sold for cash. Things like fruits and nuts and the like.

You know what? I'm going to say that it can!

Theoretically, you can call a passive income investment a "money tree". But then, you can call it whatever you want because it's making you money and that's what matters.

Even physically, there is such a thing as "cash crop". Sugar cane is one example, but really, it can be anything you grow that bears fruit that can be eaten or sold....

But literally speaking, there is no such thing as money growing on trees. I think it's just a matter of how you want to look at it though.

Wishing VS. Believing

So what I'm thinking, is that your wish would come true if you said to yourself, ten times per day for the next 3 months straight, "Money grows on trees, earning money is easy, and I have unlimited earning potential!"

I guarantee if you said this consciously as prescribed, you will start believing it and your habbits and subconscious will start to obey. 'What the mind of man can believe, the mind of man can achieve.'

I agree with the post above. A lot of it is mindset. If you have a goal, think about how to achieve it and it makes it far more likely that you'll get there.

I am pretty sure that is what the vast majority of young Americans have been telling themselves for years now. Trouble is their version of easy (sit on my arse all day) is a bit different from inventive passive income strategies....

[xpirtdesign]

yeah i agree with one of the posts i guess a investment is like seeing your money grow but put your money on the wrong tree and it can be trouble

Takes the same energy to dream big dreams as to dream small dreams

It is no secret that young North Americans are probably among the laziest in human history. Maybe it's because they have seen their parents work hard and struggle for years with very little to show for it.

My belief is that because these people never dreamed big dreams or allowed themselves the luxury of believing that they could achieve world class results in life. Why, becasue they never understood that the activities in work and life that determine a person's success are simple, tiny, easy to do. All they've realized is the sad reality that these activities are also very easy NOT to do. And because they have not done them, they slide DOWN the failure curve opposed to UP the Success Curve.

Take a sales person for example. Their success is determined by whether or not they do a sales presentation for a potential customer or client. How do they get the presentation? They have to ask people to sit down and listen to them. How many people do they have to talk to to get one person to sit down and talk to them? Depends on the business, but let's say that for every 10 people a typical sales person speaks to, he/she gets 1 sales presentation. And, for every 10 sales presentation, he/she gets 2 sales. That means that he/she would have to speak to 100 people to get 2 sales. (these are made up... and discouraging numbers, I know. A good sales person would be better, I'm sure.)

Let's say he/she NEEDS to make 2 sales a month to be successful in their business. that would mean they work 20 days a month, they would need to speak to 5 people a day about their product.

So, how easy is it to have a conversation with 5 different people everyday?
Not too hard. Pretty easy in fact.

But here's the point. It is also very easy NOT to do it. And that is why people aren't successful. They don't realize that it is insanely simple and easy to be a success, so they never do the little things that it takes to make it. They default to not doing them, and slide down the failure curve.

So what will it be for you, simple easy, long term success?
Or, simple, easy, depressing long term failure?

They're both easy, the choice is yours.
