HIGHLIGHTS:
Things I’ve learned about investing in myself
- Always plan your investments before the year starts to avoid shiny object syndrome.
- If it doesn’t sting or it doesn’t create a change in your behavior, it most likely is not the right investment.
- The energy from which you make the investment matters. I only permit myself to make an investment in myself from a place of wanting not needing to make the investment.
- There is a cost to not investing in yourself. There is a cost to staying the same, and not learning new skills or mastering the strengths you already have.
Questions to ask before making an investment
- Do I believe that this product or service can help me? Do I trust the person I’m buying it from?
- What is the real value of this product or service to me?
- Do I trust myself to do what it takes to get the results from this product or service?
- What are the fears, doubts, worries, or concerns in making this investment?
- Who do I want to become and will this help me get there?
- What’s the cost of not making this investment?
- What’s the best thing that can happen as a result of making this investment?
How to make investments when money is tight?
- Start every major goal with decluttering. You can repurpose your money.
- Can you add another revenue stream to your business? Use the money coming in from that revenue stream to make investments in yourself.
- Ask for whatever you want to invest in as a gift.
- As a business owner there might be financial upside to the investment so you might want to take a loan.
- Be savvy and look for coupons or discounts or raffles or beta programs.
- Cooking your meals instead of eating out saves a lot of money and it allows you to invest in other areas.
- Go through your bills, personal bills and business bills, and look for ways that to cut expenses.
- Focus on gratitude. Gratitude for all that you have already, and gratitude for these investments that you are able to make in yourself
QUOTES:
“Of course you would make investments into you, because if you’re not growing, your business isn’t going to grow either.”
“When I invest in the right thing it pays itself back for years to come.”
