All my life I have heard people wish they had a money tree growing in the back yard when they were in a bad financial situation, but in reality most people do have a money tree! The money tree is their brains, and how they can use their knowledge and experiences to increase their wealth.In an analogy I compared the money tree to an actual live growing tree, it first starts with a seedling, or in other words an idea.
