How much does a free Banana tree cost...?
My Dad gave me a banana tree last year that he dug it out of his own yard. If you have ever had a banana tree then you know they reproduce at an alarming rate. I gladly accepted this free plant. I have a huge yard and the owners before me did not care much for outdoor living...I however, am the opposite.
Recently when I was over at my Dad's house I noticed that his banana tree was about 12 feet tall (seriously). My bananas tree or rather my field of banana trees are only about 3 feet tall.
Naturally, the question I asked was "Dad, why is your banana tree so much bigger than mine?" Well, I found that he waters his every day and he only focuses on that one tree. I on the other hand do not; I try to keep them all going at once.
Banana trees love water & sun. Actually, I think that is all they desire. We have plenty of free sunshine here in Dallas, but I wonder how much water that 12 foot tall banana tree cost my dad this year. It looks great...but like so many other things that are not indigenous to this region... it takes more effort to produce well.
There are parts of my real estate career that are not indigenous to me. I love to help people find a new home, I am great at marketing properties for sellers and I love the art of negotiations...these aspects grow more naturally in me. What I have to "water" most is how to find new business.
I don't like to ask people if they know of someone who is thinking about buying or selling a home...I am not sure why but I resist it constantly. The reality for me is that if I don't water this part of my business, my whole "banana tree" will die.
Although some days I wish I had not planted that free banana tree (my water bill is costing me a lot this year)... I don't regret that I am a Realtor even though there is a drought in my industry.
Unlike my banana tree I was born and raised in Texas, I only focus on one thing (real estate) and I can (and will) survive a drought...but I still need some water. If you know of someone who would like a free banana tree and a new place to call home I can help. I will find them a new place to call home AND I will even plant them a new banana tree. Better yet, I will plant a tree that belongs here in this great state of Texas.
