READ THE TRANSCRIPT.
What investment will deliver certain substantial returns? From Orlando, let’s talk about why and how to invest in yourself.
Yesterday I delivered the opening keynote at a conference of 500 restaurant owners. The theme: “Invest in yourself.” Why? Because every business or personal opportunity is limited by your ability to understand or contribute; to experience or enjoy it. So, you are your best long term investment.
And don’t just think financial. Every day you also invest time, thought, and energy. And while these resources aren’t unlimited they’re also not one dimensional. The key is to spend them where they most multiply and help you grow.
What investment would impact not just one area of life but your work, relationships, health, spirit, and passions. When those five spheres of influence connect and grow together, you gain exponential returns.
Like any investment strategy, time works for you. You can’t grow rich in wisdom, experience, fitness, or friendships by day trading. Commit to regular deposits of attention, intention, and action. For instance:
1. Invest in learning. What new subject, language, or skill would expand your capacity to learn much more?
2. Invest in growth. What or who could best accelerate your progress?
3. Invest in health. Take a sizable position in your long term well being.
4. Invest in people. Spend time with and assist those you care about. Their gains will also be yours.
5. Invest with interest. Go long in the areas that most peak your curiosity.
When you invest in yourself you create certainties in the fog and chaos. You improve yourself while inspiring others. You gain the compounding benefits of every future step forward. Until next week, stay Off Balance On Purpose.
