Comment on Does Money Grow On Trees? True or False! by Carla McNeil, Social Media Manager

As a kid I always thought people were silly because yes money did grow on trees… (plus paper is made from trees so doesn’t money grow on trees?)

I really did think that!

Planting seeds and nurturing them is so very important in everything we do. Realizing that it does take time to grow a tree, build a relationship or get rich is an important lesson to learn.

I really enjoy this one. Kids now a days should know that money doesn’t grow on trees. Giving them rewards for doing something good and teaching them to earn some money in little ways is a way of training them.

Definitely heard that line as a child!! I love the way this is explained.. I often thought well money does come from paper so it can sort of be related to growing on trees. Great post!

Hi Perry,

Many thanks for this post. I really like the way you explain how important it is to plant the right seeds. It is so important to build the right foundations with skills and be surrounded by the right people for our financial and personal welfare. Take care Rosemary

A nice post to give us all a bit of perspective. I would also add that seeking to find success by helping others be successful will help YOU become a success much quicker than seeking success with solely a financial goal.

Very enjoyable article Perry,
Yep, I think that phrase about money is one that’s introduced to us at a very young age. I must admit I think very little of the green stuff – though I think quite a lot about what I can do with it. Maybe I need to start focusing on the paper stuff a bit more!

Hi Perry,

thank you for sharing this great article with the wonderful story.

Yes, we are the seed and our attitude is our foundation.
Being aware of our attitude and our feelings can help us fine tune the magnet that is inside of us, which attracts whatever we are tuned into, consciously or subconsciously.

Cheers,
Yorinda

Hi Perry,
I agree with you that “true success is about being fulfilled in life” which goes hand in hand with another thought of mine:

The amount of joy we feel equals how successful we are.

Great Video too.
Thanks for sharing

Yet another great post Perry. I don’t think I’ve met anyone that hasn’t heard of the saying “money grows on trees”.

Seed, soil, water, and sunshine…all the things that we “plants” need in order to grow indeed. I believe (at the time of writing this comment) that I am a strong and sturdy seed. I am producing very rich soil (my foundation) because I am growing myself with mistakes – learning from them – and learning how to face challenges and obstacles in life, thus helping me to reach my goals a lot faster than the next person (without personal development). I am definitely avoiding all acidic environments as much as possible.

I am most definitely using the right tools to dig my own well. And I am also allowing a constant flow of sun rays (knowledge) to shine on me.

Thanks for sharing this great analogy with us! I’ll be using it to help others view life and goals in a different perspective.

I enjoyed this article very much, It is interesting to me how just looking at a subject in a different light can change ones whole perspective about it.

To me when many of our folks told us ‘Money doesn’t grow on trees’ It left us with a Lack/poverty mentality about the subject…as if there was never enough.

Finally at 55 years young I believe my ideas about Money are changing for the ‘good’. Money is a medium of exchange’ that can allow us to do much good in our world. I now look at Money as an EFFECT of my mindset ,,,,my mindset is the CAUSE of whether I have an Abundance of $ or Lack of $.
