I have a Money Tree sitting on my desk. It promises me that if I give it sunlight, water it, and praise it, I will get money as if it grew on trees.

I don’t know.

I have twelve other “Money Trees” in the store. They are named Ruth, Erica, Lakisha, Kristina, Kathy, Elaine, Amy, Jesse, Richard, Nate, Ken, and Missy.

I do know that if I give them Autonomy (sunlight – the trust that they can do their jobs without my constant hands-on supervision), Mastery (water – the training to improve and grow), and Purpose (praise – the reason we’re here –  to make you smile), then they will get money in far greater quantities than any desk-sized tree.

You really should read Daniel H. Pink’s book Drive. It made is making a world of difference for me.

PS That is not an affiliate link for that book. I don’t make money by promoting other people’s books. If I make a recommendation, it is because I believe in the product. Pure and simple.

PPS I do like my Money Tree, though. It reminds me to go out and get some sunlight every now and then.
