Lesson Of The Moving Tree

Author: Sean D'Souza

Once upon a time there was a little tree. He sat in the soil and danced in the wind. And he looked around and saw the other trees.

“Man, they sure look taller than me,” said the little tree. “Probably it's the soil,” he mumbled.

So he lifted up his roots and moved over to the part of the garden which he thought had better soil. A few weeks later the little tree looked up again.

Probably, it's the sunshine

“Damn,” he cursed under his breath,”the other trees are growing taller than me. Probably it's the sunshine. Let me move into where I get more sunshine.”

And so the little tree moved from point to point, always picking up his roots. Always moving. Always searching for the right soil, water, fertiliser, sunshine and other more favourable conditions.

And he stayed stunted

The trees that stayed in one place built strong roots. Their barks grew solid. Their branches soared. And the little tree stayed little.

Are you a little tree?

A tree that keeps uprooting itself doesn't get a chance to grow. It stays confused and scattered. Stay where you are. Learn what you need to. And grow strong roots. That's what will make you a big tree.

Move upward. Not sidewards.

Next Step: “Before I purchased the Brain Audit, I thought this is just crazy, I've got so much marketing material that I still haven't implemented.“

But right from Sean's first story and metaphor, I could see this was different. I was hooked. The Brain Audit challenged virtually every principle of marketing I'd grown up with. Like selling benefit or never starting with a negative or problem.

And it's this refreshing, innovative approach that makes the Brain Audit a must buy for anyone who is really serious about challenging the status quo and taking their business to new heights.

Already we've applied the principles to one of our workshops and the response has been fantastic. The Brain Audit and our ongoing association with Sean has been one of the best business decisions we've every made.

“I actually didn't join 5000bc a year earlier than I did assuming it would be a lot more expensive than it is. Silly me.”

I found it was far better than I ever imagined, over the years I have been a participant of many different memberships and forums and none of them come close to what 5000bc offers.

I would recommend 5000bc to any entrepreneur or small business owner as a great source of knowledge and information from like minded people who have often already achieved what you may be struggling to do and can help save you loads of time and ultimately expense in getting to where you need to be.

5000bc now has a Waiting List. The waiting list joining time is
approx. 30-45 days. So if you are serious about getting your
business to the next level, get on the waiting list now.

    This morning when I was reading this blog post I knew I wanted to share it on my blog, dkbriggs.com.

    Just yesterday I was put in the spotlight to tell my story. When I looked at my story I saw where I moved into a new season every 10 years. Now that is the macro-level, the big picture. When I looked at the micro-level, the small picture, I saw times where I had stayed and put down roots and “Bloomed Where I Was Planted!” Other times, when I didn’t stay long enough to put down roots, I didn’t grow. Just like the “Lesson Of The Moving Tree”!

    The Lesson of the Moving Tree gives a good big and small picture for your business. When you stay rooted and focused your business will grow. How long it takes is up to you.

    Most people are always searching for something new, Dee. And that’s a mistake. The new lies where you are: in your own Acre of diamonds 🙂
