Here's a great analogy for your next business breakthrough.
In China, there’s a tree called the Chinese Bamboo Tree. This tree is considered to be the fastest growing tree ever recorded.
It grows at a staggering pace of 39 inches per hour for short periods of time.
Over the course of around 5 weeks, the tree grows 90 feet in height.
The catch?
It has to be watered and fertilized every day for five years before it breaks through the ground and starts growing!
Imagine waking up one day and all the sudden a full sized tree appears seemingly out of nowhere!
But also imagine what you don’t see.
In order for this tree to grow at this fast of a rate, it must be watered and fertilized every day…for 5 years.
5 years, the seed lays dorment with no sign of life. Day after day, the seed builds up nutrients.
Its intelligence knows what is ahead and creates a root system that can support the growth that will surely happen one day.
It trusts where it has been planted and that it is in the right place.
Eventually, when the time is right, it breaks through and explodes in growth.
