The Best Investment is in Yourself
Do you want to know the secret to success? Well, there are many secrets to this, but the one I'm talking about today is investing. Not in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or ETF's, but investing in YOURSELF. Time, energy, and money.
The single greatest investment you can make is in yourself. Are you putting resources toward yourself and your growth/learning? This tip put to action could propel you to a level you've never thought possible. By investing in yourself, you can grow physically, mentally, financially, emotionally, spiritually, and in every other area of life.
Some things you can do to invest in yourself are free. Many of us do things like invest in relationships by spending time with friends or family, we invest in our body by exercising and eating well, but some things aren't free. What do we do about that? A good rule of thumb I've adopted from one of my coaches is investing 3%-5% of your income into yourself. This could look like: Books, Audio programs, Courses, Coaching, Seminars/Webinars, Online programs, etc. that will make you better. We should all keep growing and developing ourselves as often as we can.
This doesn't just make you better, but you are impacting those around you, which will make them better as well. We are more attractive to hang out with when we become the people we want to be so take some time to write down the things you want to do to better yourself. If it's free, great. If it will cost some money, that's also great. Put a dollar amount next to that thing and start saving for it!
