The Farmer & His Apple Tree

August 13, 2020 by jon

The story goes …. 

One morning a door to door salesman was walking down an old country road. 

At the end of a road was a farmhouse. 

Around the yard and at the edge of the road  was a board fence. 

In the middle of the front yard was a huge apple tree. 

Full of red ripe apples. 

Blown over from a storm the night before. 

The farmer was leaning against the fence looking at the tree. 

The salesman walk up to the fence, and look at the damage for a little while. 

Finally the salesman says:

“Man, that is terrible. Such a beautiful tree & all those apples. What are you gonna do?” 

The farmer sorta looks over at him, then back at his apple tree and simply replies:

“Pick the fruit & burn the rest”

You made it this far …

I am always looking to me more leaders, linchpins, and problem solvers. We need more people to take on a business owner mindset, to seek out pains and problems then find ways to provide value to others.

Let's connect.
