Money DOES Grow on Trees

Money grows on trees?! Yes, it does. Well, this is just a metaphor. But the point is that money is as abundant as fruit on trees. Some of you may be thinking, "Yeah, right!" If you are, then you better listen up. ;-)

If you did believe that money grew on trees, you would probably have a whole different attitude. You would know that you could just go out and pick some whenever you needed it. There may be times when the fruit isn't ripe enough to pick, but there would be no panic as you'd see all the blossoms covering the tree. You'd know from experience that every year you have so much fruit that you have to give it away to all of your friends, neighbors, and folks at work. Some of the fruit even goes to waste on the ground. Not that you don't care about it, but it grows so abundantly that you can't keep up with it. That's when you hire someone to take of it.

How do money trees get there in the first place? You have to plant them, silly! Sometimes a person long ago planted the trees and you just need to give them some care and attention.

All right, you get the metaphor. Let's make it real. When you want more money for anything, the money is available to you. You may not be able to see it on a tree in your yard, but it is within your reach.
In "One Minute Millionaire" by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen, they say over and over that all the money you need is a phone call away. It's true! The only problem is that sometimes you'll think that you don't know who to call. In those moments, you'll need to listen to your intuition. It may say, "Call Mark." How can that be? Mark just went on unemployment. Well, Mark knows the person you need to ask. Or Mark is now selling his house at a very low price to move into something more affordable and now you have a property you can turn for a nice profit!

The point here is that everything you need, be it money or the item for which you want the money, is within your reach. As easily as you can pluck fruit from a tree, you can pluck the answers from your intuition. It will guide you to the actions you need to take. Many times the source for your millions is right in your backyard. You do not have to search for the source. You just need to ask.

Ask yourself now, "What gift or project do I already have that, if given attention, could grow money for me?"

What is your dominant belief? Money comes to me easily ... or I am constantly struggling to have more?

To think is to create.

Gotta go now! I'm going to go pick some fruit!

Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
Making Money in 2011 - Hello forum members! As we draw closer to the new year I thought it would be appropriate to change the title of our forum category "Making Money in 2010" to "Making Money in 2011" - I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions and wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
QuickBooks vs. Microsoft Money vs....? - I have always used Microsoft Money to run my business - accounting, invoicing, etc. It came with my computer when I got it and integrated well with my online banking system so everything is a breeze. It only takes 30-60 minutes every quarter to do the bookkeeping (keep in mind that I have a very simple business - no inventory, very little invoicing, I do all my payments by credit card, etc). Is QuickBooks or Money the best accounting tool for small business owners? Or is there something even better?
Re: My 3 best business books - 1. Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill 2. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey 3. Permission Marketing - Seth Godin Think and Grow Rich seems more powerful each time I read it or dip into it. The 7 Habits not only offers some very effective ways to organize your life (which I have yet to master!), but also some great quotations and thought provoking statements including this by Nazi concentration camp survivor, Viktor Frankl: [i:2naxzsom]Between stimulus and response, man has the freedom to choose.[/i:2naxzsom] Seth Godin's Permission Marketing is a good read for anybody seeking to understand how to approach doing business on the Internet in the right way with regard to winning people's trust.
Re: My 3 best business books - It seems that Napoleon Hill works help a lot of business men. He had done a really good job. I bought Think and Grow Rich many times.
