Jack and The Beanstalk...
Hello,
I have enlisted two story tellers
from the late 1800's to help me
tell you this story.
Stories can be so powerful.
I enjoy the fact that I am telling
this story to business minded people.
I realized today thinking about this
story and how it relates to the
Autopilot Traffic Machine Elite that
this story about Jack like the
business system explained in
the Teleseminar is nothing new.
Jack and the Beanstalk is not an
earth-shattering story...or is it.
Your business, your life, your current
course for your future are all symbolized
BY THE OLD COW...you have to be willing,
like Jack, to trade that in for a new vision.
Relax and read on...see if this does not
speak to you. I have included a link to
another piece of the puzzle that is more
relevant when you start to CLIMB your
Beanstalk...if you have the courage.
Jack and the Beanstalk
As told by Joseph Jacobs
Jacobs' source: "I tell this as it was told me in Australia, somewhere about the year 1860."
So he took the cow's halter in his hand,
and off he started. He hadn't gone far
when he met a funny-looking old man,
who said to him, "Good morning, Jack."
"Good morning to you," said Jack, and
wondered how he knew his name.
"Well, Jack, and where are you off to?" said the man.
"I'm going to market to sell our cow there."
"Oh, you look the proper sort of chap to sell cows,"
said the man. "I wonder if you know how many beans make five."
"Two in each hand and one in your mouth,"
says Jack, as sharp as a needle.
"Right you are," says the man, "and here
they are, the very beans themselves," he
went on, pulling out of his pocket a number
of strange-looking beans. "As you are so
sharp," says he, "I don't mind doing a swap
with you -- your cow for these beans."
"Go along," says Jack. "Wouldn't you like it?"
"Ah! You don't know what these beans are,"
said the man. "If you plant them overnight,
by morning they grow right up to the sky."

Wonderful Growth of the Beanstalk
So Jack called his mother, and they both
gazed in silent wonder at the beanstalk,
which was not only of great height, but
was thick enough to bear Jack's weight.
"I wonder where it ends," said Jack to his
mother. "I think I will climb up and see."
His mother wished him not to venture up
this strange ladder, but Jack coaxed her
to give her consent to the attempt, for
he was certain there must be something
wonderful in the beanstalk; so at last
she yielded to his wishes.
Jack instantly began to climb, and went
up and up on the ladder-like beanstalk
until everything he had left behind him --
the cottage, the village, and even the
tall church tower -- looked quite little,
and still he could not see the top of the beanstalk.
Jack felt a little tired, and thought for
a moment that he would go back again;
but he was a very persevering boy, and
he knew that the way to succeed in
anything is not to give up. So after
resting for a moment he went on. After
climbing higher and higher, until he grew
afraid to look down for fear he should be
giddy, Jack at last reached the top of the
beanstalk, and found himself in a beautiful
country, finely wooded, with beautiful
meadows covered with sheep. A crystal
stream ran through the pastures; not far
from the place where he had got off the
beanstalk stood a fine, strong castle.
