Investing in yourself is the best return you can ever get. It requires a willingness to step outside of your comfort zone. The decision to invest in your dreams is a decision to quiet the doubts and fears in your mind, for you know that doubt destroys dreams.

INVESTING IN YOURSELF

EPISODE #56

How to Start Investing in Yourself:

What is it that is keeping you from making that initial investment in yourself? You know, the one that you have been putting off but the one that could potentially change your life for forever?

-Fear of failure

-Fear of looking stupid

-Fear of the unknown

-Fear of pain

-Fear of success

-Fear of ridicule

-Fear of standing out

-Fear that initial investment will be too much or not worth it

Fear doesn’t keep us from death; it keeps us from life. –Christine Caine

If it doesn’t cost you much, then the benefit you are going to get out of it won’t be worth much. But, on the other hand, a lot of the best things in life cost a lot up front, but the rewards far outweigh the investment.

Things that people put off investing in:

-education

-the right relationship

-exercise

-financial plan/savings

-God and their relationship with God

-love (vulnerability)

-travel

-entrepreneurial endeavors

-that dream project

-adventure projects

-time off / rest

-long-term happiness (most people defer this for a short-term fix)

Leave me a voicemail on my website and tell me what you are investing in!

It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.–Gabriel Garcia Marquez
