Nearly 2 years ago, I ventured into the Panamanian Rainforest. While drinking in the incredibly fresh air, inhaling exotic scents from rare orchids and watching howler monkeys scrambling overhead in the canopy, it began to sink in…

“Everything you need to learn about business, you can learn in the rainforest”. That’s what God spoke to my heart on my first trip to Panama and I have spent the best part of the last two years searching this out. You see, working with limited topsoil, rainforests are the most productive, fruitful and diverse ecosystems in the world. How they transform scarcity into abundance is what every business needs to know.

As we walked through the dense rainforest guided by a scientist from the world headquarters of the Smithsonian Institute for Tropical Research, I was told there are only two things that threaten the productivity of a rainforest tree: Pests & Pathogens. Intrigued by that, I gained access to over 400 scientific white papers on the rainforest, several of them dealing with this fact. What I learned shook me to the core.

Plants that were protected from pests grew 10 times faster and in only twenty months were already 5 ½ times larger than the same species which were unprotected. I began to study the seven ways plants protect themselves from pests and realized by applying similar concepts in business, I could become 10 times more effective with my time and have less stress in the process.

On Tuesday, December 12th, we are releasing the most anticipated teaching series we have ever done (7 Wealth Secrets of the Rainforest). In just one of those secrets, you will learn how to greatly increase productivity with far less stress. We will make our own subscribers a special offer on that day. You won’t want to miss it!
