“Money doesn’t grow on trees” is a phrase we’ve all heard in our lives.

It could be something our parents told us or we tell our own children when they ask for things that are too expensive.

Transformation trainer and yoga teacher Esra Ogut, author of Money Does Grow on Trees: The Myths We Create and Live By, says the opposite is true.

Ms. Ogut, a former shoe saleswoman from Turkey who became a millionaire in the United States, believes that success is a matter of personal choice and the key to it is simply learning how to achieve it.

This can be achieved by removing these self-imposed restrictions that keep us from succeeding and hiding the money that is sitting outside in trees waiting to be picked.

So how do we break these self-imposed restrictions to ensure we can achieve prosperity?

Host Alice Haine is accompanied by Ms. Ogut, who outlines the steps you need to take to grow your wealth.
