46: The Lesson of the Chinese Bamboo Tree

In this episode we discuss the powerful lesson learned from the Chinese bamboo tree. Network marketers especially but in any business, we put so much pressure on days like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and small business Saturday. Taking advantage of these days is great, but it is not going to make or break your business. It is much more the little things that you do every day that matter most. The Chinese bamboo tree is a perfect example of this principle. Once planted, this remarkable tree takes four years to break the ground. That is four years of consistent watering and fertilizing with no visual results. Only at this point does the tree begin to show growth when it shoots up to 90 feet into the sky within 6 weeks. My message today is that you have the patience and engage in consistent actions. Everyone has a bamboo tree. All you have to do is have faith to keep watering and fertilizing daily.
