A Strange and Fruity True Story

by | Jun 20, 2025 | Blog | 0 comments

During the past week I’ve become utterly engrossed by some strange goings-on…

At the end of my street is a park.

The park is separated from the road by a high iron gate.

And over that gate hang the branches of the most amazing tree.

It produces beautiful white blossoms in the spring and – as happened in the past few weeks – it also produces fruit.

I could tell it was fruiting because I looked out of my window last week to see a squirrel hanging upside down from the branches.

At first, I thought it had been strung up by a cruel teenager.

Then I saw it move…

At which point I realised that it was busy munching on the fruit.

That was only the beginning, though…

The day after the squirrel had feasted, a car pulled up.

A family of four clambered out and scrutinised the tree for a few minutes. Then the father began throwing sticks at the branches to dislodge the fruit.

His children squealed with delight as each one hit the floor. They gleefully gobbled them up, before they all drove away again.

Now I was intrigued…

What WAS this mysterious, exotic delicacy growing so near my home?

Well, it turns out that these were Albanian damsons.

They must be a rarity in London, because more and more people turned up and did the very same thing…. hurling random sticks to dislodge the low-hanging fruit.

My hunch is that word spread quickly through London-Albanian social media networks about this marvellous tree that promised a taste of their homeland.

Anyway, very soon the lower branches were stripped bare of damsons.

However, that wasn’t the end of it…

Because the next day a guy on a motorbike parked under the damson tree.

Ignoring all sense and Health and Safety, he put his bike on its stand and stood on the seat with a stick in his hand, wobbling perilously.

He whacked at the tree to dislodge the damsons, stuffing them into his pockets (and mouth!)

Now the only available fruit was so high up, it was out of reach of the casual fruit forager!

However, yesterday a man turned up with his 4 year old son, and I could tell instantly that HE MEANT

BUSINESS.

He had brought with him a huge stepladder and a rope!

Carefully, he climbed up the ladder.

With his rope he lassoed the higher branches.

Then he began to vigorously shake the tree.

He’d obviously done this before!

Now an insane number of damson fruits rained down around the delighted child, who skipped about, collecting them all up in a bag, and stuffing his little face.

So why am I telling you this?

The Lesson of the High-Hanging Fruit

There are a lot of opportunities around to make money….

But most second-income seekers only pick the low-hanging fruit.

They have a go… here and there…. whenever they spot a business plan or quick cash scheme.

And they tend to improvise using whatever available tools, skills, free time, and knowledge they have to-hand at the time… a bit like the father who threw sticks at the damsons, hoping some would fall.

It works sometimes, but sometimes it doesn’t quite deliver the level of income you’re hoping to achieve.

Ultimately, you can only get as far as your current levels of time and skill will let you.

However…

What if you could be like the fruit-picker who came armed with a step ladder?

Rather than being one of the many who were swinging sticks around, you could be one of the few who gets a fast-track STRAIGHT UP THE TREE.

And now let’s imagine that you knew the technique for shaking the tree using a rope.

Quickly, you’d find yourself laden with tonnes of fruit, rather than picking up scraps.

Well, this is what I have been offering to a few What Really Makes Money readers recently…

The Home Business Version of a Step Ladder and Rope

In the last week, I’ve been inviting people to find out more about my Instant Digital Publisher programme.

This is where I will hand over a done-for-you replica of my own business which has, to date, generated almost £50 million in sales.

All you have to do is copy it to get an instant fast-track to a proven business – like being able to get up a tree with a step ladder rather than working it out for yourself.

The audience has been carefully chosen…

The products have already been created…

The trust-building system is in place…

And the marketing has been tested and fine-tuned.

Basically, almost everything is ready to go, so you can skip the guesswork, avoid the overwhelm, and start seeing results fast.

Just like the father-and-son with the ladder and rope, you’ll have a ready-made source of income, a proven technique, and the tools to carry it out.
