The Bamboo Analogy

2. “Success is stumbling from failure to
failure, with no loss of enthusiasm.”
-Winston S. Churchill

3. In this step, you will….
1. Learn how to maintain patience, persistence & consistency
2. Learn the payoff of investing to create a sustainable foundation
3. Learn how to shift from a mindset of instant gratification, to a
mindset of long term satisfaction.

4. Like any plant, growth of
the Chinese Bamboo Tree
requires consistent nurturing –
water, fertile soil, sunshine.

5. In its first 5 years,
we see no visible signs of activity.

6. Our patience is tested &
we begin to wonder if our efforts
will be rewarded.

7. However, finally in the 5th year,
the Chinese Bamboo Tree
grows 80 feet in just 6 weeks!

8. However, don’t be fooled.
The Chinese Bamboo Tree doesn’t
really grow 80 feet in six weeks.

9. It stayed seemingly “dormant”
for four years, only to grow
exponentially in the fifth.

10. Throughout those years
it was developing a root system,
strong enough to support
its potential for outward growth.

11. Had the tree not developed a strong
unseen foundation, it could not have
sustained its life as it grew.

12. The same principle is true
for online coaching businesses.

13. It won’t take us 5 years, however...

14. By investing this time now,
you will steadily increase momentum,
building value, gaining authority &
community support .

15. We are building the foundation to
your future vision RIGHT NOW!

16. And like the trampoline effect,
growth will skyrocket
upwards EXPONENTIALLY.

17. This is the critical variable in building a
successful, automated, sustainable,
online coaching business.

18. We are not born
with great business skills.
It takes willingness, resourcefulness,
consistency and dedication.

19. “You don't have to be great to start,
but you do have to start,
in order to be great”
-Zig Ziglar

20. It is our ability
to stay persistent & resilient,
even when we are unable to see
any growth on the surface….
JUST LIKE THE CHINESE BAMBOO TREE.

21. Establish a daily and weekly practice
that nourishes your business and
your personal development.

22. YOUR LESSON KEYS...
-Embrace a “long-term” mindset
-Eliminate BIG distractions
(people, places, things, beliefs)
-Maintain clear focus on your BIG vision
-Invest in building a solid foundation

23. "Give me six hours to chop down a
tree and I will spend the first four
sharpening the axe."
- Abraham Lincoln
