Investing in yourself is about spending time and/or money to improve yourself. There are various areas and various reasons to invest in yourself. One area you might want to work on or improve, for example may be physical, to have more energy or stay active with your children. You may want to lose weight, have more muscle tone or just eat healthier.
Whatever the area or reason is that you want to improve will require you to invest the time and/or money necessary to learn what to do and how to do it, through research or hiring a personal trainer or nutritionist. Then of course there’s the actual doing, the act of applying those things that you researched and learned or executing the instructions and programs of the experts you hired.
“A learning curve is essential to growth.” –Tammy Bjelland
All of that…learning and applying… is the investment you make in yourself. If you’re looking to improve your finances, you invest in buying books, taking an accounting class, attend a seminar or hire a financial planner. You would study, learn and apply your new knowledge to improve your situation. That formula is what achieves personal growth and allows change to take place.
The time and money spent is an investment in yourself! Pursuing higher education to gain specialized knowledge or to gain a higher position within a company is an investment in yourself. These are just a few examples of how taking time and/or money to invest in yourself can improve who and where you are. What you want to improve may change, but how to do it stays the same.
