Money Trees: Build a Life That Pays You Back

“Dreams of me gettin shaded under a money tree.”

-Kendrick Lamar

The above quote comes from a song called “money trees”.

I was listening to it earlier today and it left me with a very profound message.

Building the various pillars of your life is similar to planting a tree.

• You make the initial investment (plant the seed)
• Pay attention to growth
• And reap the rewards (sitting in the shade).

Make sure you water your trees regularly or else they’ll die.

Not everyone will be able to find the discipline to water all of their trees.

Are you looking after your own trees?

If you never plant the first seed, you won’t be able to reap the future rewards.

The end result will be mediocrity.

People Say “Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees” – When In Reality, It Does

You’ve heard the saying:

“Money doesn’t grow on trees.”

That’s what broke thinkers say when they want you to shrink your vision.

Here’s the truth:

Money does grow on trees – your trees.

Assets are the real trees in the garden of your life.

Every asset you build acts like a living thing that pays you back:

• Skills

• Digital products

• Businesses

• Investments

• Networks

• Reputation

Each one produces:

• Shade
• Fruits
• Protection
• And long-term stability.

When people say:

“money doesn’t grow on trees”

what they really mean is:

“I never planted any.”

Once you do?

• Your life becomes an orchard.
• You stop stressing.
• You start cultivating.
• You start harvesting.

Money grows the same way nature intended:

Plant → Water → Grow → Harvest.

If you aren’t seeing results yet, it’s only because your trees are still young.

Keep watering them.

Achieving Financial Security Is A Means Of Giving To Get

A person who doesn’t know what he wants out of life will have other people tell him.

Others want you to become more like them.

The only way to maximize your potential is to devote yourself to your interests and be your own person.

The more you invest in your trees, the clearer the outcome becomes in your mind.

People want immediate gratification.

If you want something worthwhile, you’re going to have to tend to the end result.

You have to make things happen.

The boss life is a life desired by many.

It’s about taking a spot and defending it.

Whether you want:

• A career that’s in high-demand
• To travel the world
• Or to get in shape

you need to guide your tree from seed to fruition.

Progress Stacks Up A Lot Quicker Than You Think

Even minimal investments will show dividends if you tend to them enough.

It has been pretty crazy seeing my own trees grow.

Focusing on what you DON’T have will stop you from making further investments and may even cause you to abandon your current trees.

You have to be willing to go through periods of discomfort if you truly want results.

Will you spend your paycheck at the bar or will you put it aside to develop your skills/invest it in a business?

People with poor self-control will always go for immediate satisfaction.

They want to blow off some steam from tending to their trees, ultimately undoing what they worked for.

It’s all about consistency.

Always keep the big picture in view.
