THE MONEY TREE
A Story About Finding the Fortune in Your Own Backyard
From bestselling author of The $100 Startup and Side Hustle comes an engaging fable about the power you have to create your own financial destiny.
Like The Latte Factor and The Richest Man in Babylon, THE MONEY TREE uses a compelling story with captivating characters to share its core insight: You are never at the mercy of fortune as long as you have an appetite for hard work and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone.
Jake Aarons is in trouble. He is being evicted from his apartment in less than 30 days, the bill for his $50,000 in overdue student loans is almost due, and the digital marketing agency he works at just implemented a new military-style grading system that might cost him his job. To top it all off, Jake's new relationship with Maya was going so well... but with everything else falling down around him, he might lose her, too.
In search of answers, Jake reluctantly attends a weekly group meeting at the invitation of a co-worker. The group, called "The Third Way," is "like Shark Tank, but without the investors." Everyone in the group is trying to create a lucrative side hustle with one key requirement: They can only spend up to $500 before earning a profit. Over the course of several weeks, Jake discovers the untapped skills he needs to take control of his finances - and his life.
Chris Guillebeau is the New York Times-bestselling author of The $100 Startup, Side Hustle, The Happiness of Pursuit, and other books. During a lifetime of self-employment that included a four-year commitment as a volunteer executive in West Africa, he visited every country in the world (193 in total) before his 35th birthday. His daily podcast, Side Hustle School, is downloaded more than two million times each month. He is also the founder of the World Domination Summit, an event for cultural creatives that attracts thousands of attendees to Portland, Oregon every summer.
