Business Run Like Growing A Tree

A tree is like business.. Some people don't understand the time involved in learning how to do business..

A tree may take many years to grow and while you are growing it, the tree does not produce fruit until it is mature. When it does yield, it rewards by producing a good crop, if you nourish it properly by giving it the right conditions--- dealing with the weather, and give it time to grow. Sometimes trees grow without so much attention and this is similar to a good economy in business, but in reality we are facing competitive business times, so business people really have to work hard at nourishing an idea from start to finish without skipping any detail...

It is just like a good business plan when you start with the idea---that is your seed.

You focus on it the seed, by learning exactly what to do, and getting through each obstacle that happens along this path. Once it is set in motion by seeding the idea into the ground. Once planted the idea can gain roots and branch out----as the tree grows through its stages, you then do what's required and this is usually only learned through experience, hard work, and knowledge that is acquired..

Many people just give up after the initial stage of an idea or they expect instant success after it is planted and give up after there's no yield.  They think having a great idea will automatically yield. It isn't like that. They never learn the higher road of making a business idea work and flourish. Stage 1 is probably the hardest so they give up thinking it is only for rich people.  Most judge by status and not what you can do. With intense commitment and pushing forward with finely tuned plans, it ultimately will yield success, but this isn't what is perceived by the masses. There's a way to do everything, you just have to figure out the formula. If it were easy everyone would do it, but it's not just for the already rich. Nobody will teach you precisely the correct formula, but you can learn some clues through mentors, courses, and continually researching.. Ultimately, only you know when it will work by trying and learning.  Along the way you just have to deal with the ridicule, disappointments, dirty looks (for trying), negativity, people making things harder just because they are jealous, and so on.. It's part of life and the more you try, the more of a target you are to ego maniacs. 

Morally it is very difficult. Most people only acknowledge your success, almost none acknowledge when you are growing your business--- while you are doing the hard things you need to do to make it produce results. So morally it is very draining. It's very hard to find investors if you haven't proven yourself. It's a very tough world, because everyone is competing against each other for some status and they like to mock those before they make it. It gets very frustrating when dealing with all the egotistical status vampires that like to put you down or just make life difficult, but you don't pay attention to them, you just follow a business formula until it either works or doesn't work. Even people close to you will condemn you until only after you make something work.. If you want your dream to come true you just don't give up until it is a reality. 

As a single businessman I've noticed that woman only want you when your in the limelight and they get angry at businessmen who go through them flies, but I see why coming up from a seed. I had a beautiful woman who tried to deceive me and hijack what I was working on by pretending to love me (she said she did a few times at least) and she claimed to want to be my business partner after I showed her some of my work.. We seen each other off and on but that feel apart very quickly when I tried to push it forward with her. It made me very depressed. It was another setback (emotionally and plan wise, since I had no more help or moral support). You are judged by status.. People are shallow regardless of gender. She ran off with someone who provided for her financially  and even bragged about him and said how I was a mean man simply for expecting her to actually do some business task to make it work so we could be successful.. She was only looking for a quick fix and I found that out when I pushed her to do what was required. She got angry at me for making her do some legitimate business work and we stopped talking, she went for her lower level lover that provided for her a little better than I could in our initial stages.. I knew then she wasn't serious, but it was a hard lesson.. My plan had split, but ultimately it made me stronger because I have become more resourceful by going it alone and guarding the business edge that I have learned..

I'm quite confident at this time my business plan will work.. I finally have some inventory, it's not much, but it's enough to get started. I have sources once money flows in since I did the research required and didn't give up. I have a 3 month plan to grow into a new stage of business.. I tried to push it faster before, but it just doesn't work. When you plant a seed, it has to grow roots, branches, and be nourished until it yields.. 

Three months is not a long time considering the time it takes a tree to grow.  Trees are like passive income after they get going, you do the work up front and then reap the rewards at harvest, but it does time regardless. New crops come in and you just keep building up. All the hard work is up front and the harvesting is the passive income that you pick from a fully nourished idea. Avocados are my favorite food produced from a tree.. It takes anywhere from 3 to 15 years for avocados to produce fruit from a seed.. but once the crop is going it's a new beginning for something very worthwhile.. The good news is business ideas can take less time, but even put in yearly cycles it's not that long considering what a good idea can become.

A simple formula for success:
Plant a seed (idea), focus on the idea until it roots. Do what's required until it spouts. If the idea has roots (a foundation), it can grow. Nourish it providing whatever conditions or actions needed to make it grow. Stick with it.. Never give up on it once it is sprouted unless it dies or it will die.
Harvest it!

Money can grow like a tree...
