The Secret Of The Redwood Tree - And Why It Matters To You!

One of the most amazing sights in nature are Redwood Trees - among the tallest trees in the world! They also have an amazing secret that I only just learned and I'd like to quickly share with you today.

Redwood trees can grow to enormous heights - the tallest known is in California and measures over 117 meters tall (384 feet).

Yet, most Redwoods have very shallow roots. Typically, even a giant tree has roots that only go down about 6 feet. Compare that to much smaller trees, whose roots can grow up to 20 feet deep to support the tree.

How do these enormous Redwood trees remain standing?

The answer is in cooperation.

Although their roots don't go down far, they spread out wide. And whenever a Redwood's roots encounter another Redwoods roots, they mesh together, like lovers holding hands.

That's their big secret. They don't try to stand alone.

Our downfall as striving, success-seeking human beings is that we so often forget that we can't do everything ourselves. Our roots simply can't go down far enough to support all of our dreams and ambitions.

That's why, like the giant Redwood trees, we need other people to help us to grow.

So where can we find people to support us as we try to build a business to achieve our goals and dreams? The answer is obvious and it's one of the main reasons I am so glad I found this great community of like-minded entrepreneurs.

Congratulations to everyone who has invested in themselves by signing up for another year through the current offer.

And if you haven't taken it up - for whatever reason - then just remember that you too can still grow like a Redwood tree by meshing your roots with all the others here too.

Have a great December!

Thank you for the brilliant redwood analogy.

Time is running out.

Who will share some redwood love by accepting this offer?

Not because I can't this year, doesn"t mean I shouldn't encourage those who can to do so.

Standing tall together makes such a big difference moving forward.

See you next year.

All the best,
Maxine

Hi Maxine. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the post and yes, lets all stand tall together and help each other achieve our goals.

A wonderful post and such a caring visual for us all. You have a kind heart Dave and that will bring you great success. I do feel the deep links beginning to forge between us around the world.
It is said that you become like those you associate with and in this community that will be our blessing going into 2020.

Thanks for sharing such an inspiring analogy
Hugs and love Dave

Hi Lily. Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. I really appreciate your kindness.
I found this fact about Redwood trees completely out of the blue and I just saw the similarity to our network straight away.
Had to share it!

Awesome analogy Dave, another great reason that makes WA so successful.
I have always felt that if it wasn't for the whole group of encouragers here I probably would have quit and moved on.
Whenever I am down it never fails to help to just log in a read a few posts.
Thanks for sharing.

Yes indeed Ray, I feel exactly the same way. Whenever I feel like I have hit a wall or need inspiration - I know where to come to find some!

Great comparison between Redwoods (i had no idea) and people at WA. Connected!
