“If I can do it, then anyone can do it—you just have to work hard and give 100% every day.”
About the Book
Founder of Pioneer Log Homes and creator of reality HGTV series Timber Kings and Carver Kings, Bryan Reid believes that anyone, including the youth of today, can become successful in life and business with the right attitude and hard work.
Raised in poverty with several siblings and a single mother, Bryan could easily have remained broke and become homeless, but two momentous experiences at a young age changed his life forever
As a toddler, he fell into a well, only to be saved by his mother and her unrelenting will to rescue him. Then as an impoverished young boy, he found a 50-cent piece during a walk one afternoon and, instead of keeping it for himself, gave it to his mother to help toward expenses. From those two experiences, he learned the value of money and kindness and to never give up. If it wasn’t for those lessons, Bryan would not have had success in his log home building business—nor would he have been able to fight a setback that would shake both his world and the empire he had worked so hard to build…
Money Grows on Trees is an inspirational biography that masterfully threads the lessons Bryan has learned throughout his remarkable journey with tales from his life and of those who have helped him along the way.
“I must say that success to me is only rarely about money, but mainly about self satisfaction, gratification, and making others happy.”
