Investing in yourself is about committing your time, your effort, and your finances to things that will make your life better. Often, we invest in everything and everyone but ourselves. Then we end up looking at our lives asking, "What do I have to show for it?" It's good to invest in others. By all means, pay it forward. But also make sure that you're putting some of your investment into yourself. Here are 10 Quick things you can do to start investing in yourself today.
  1.  It's good to be a giver but don't forget to also give to yourself. Your dream will require your time, energy, and resources.
  2. Don't be hesitant to pay for a class or seminar that helps you to learn more about your field. The more you learn, the more ready you'll be.
  3. Learn to save $$ so that you will have a cushion in case of emergency. Build up at least $1000 in your savings account. No, it's not easy but it will be worth it. Say no to McDonald's and Starbucks for a season.
  4. Lose the Nike mentality. Stop "just doing" things and think about why your doing them. Do things that help you progress.
  5. Take care of your health (add any of these goals to your plan: exercise, get regular check-ups, eat your Wheaties/eat healthy, find a way to relieve stress)
  6. Find a mentor that's been where you are. It's good to learn from the experiences of others.
  7. Speak positively to yourself. ("Today will be a great day." "Today I will do great things." "Today I will make a difference.")
  8. See failures as learning opportunities. We all fall sometimes, just be sure to get back up.
  9. Treat yourself. Whenever you meet a goal, celebrate your accomplishment. You deserve it.
  10. Most importantly (I Saved the best for last)… KEEP GOD IN THE CENTER OF ALL YOU DO. SPEND TIME WITH HIM AND FOLLOW HIS LEAD.
