Be Your Best Investment
Deborah Risper
How many of us can truly say that we’ve invested in ourselves more than the daily food, fashion, or trending things that we spend countless dollars on? We spend so much time trying to keep up with others. In my experience as a business coach & leader, many pack the house out when it is a “free” resource involved, but how many of us know that the REALexperience doesn’t start until you invest?
In today’s society entrepreneurship is the fastest growing profession. Millennials are free birds and want things on their owns terms. As a business owner, that is a great part of why many of us are in business. My motto is freedom, fun, & fulfillment. To gain these things we cannot wake up one day with an idea and think that everyone is our customer and everything we already know is going to make us millions. The fake it until you make it only goes so far. Soonerorlater it will show up in your brand.
Why are we so sketchy about investing in us? Most of the time it is our own mental block and the amount of “free” resources that catch us up. We tell ourselves, “that course/class isn’t going to change anything” or we say “this free resource is just fine, I’ll research more from this.” Believe that you are worth that class or course and that investing in it will expand your mindset. That free resource can honestly only take you so far. You know why? The person pitching it to you has done their homework to capture you and know you can only pair their information with their product. Plus, if you had known what they told you in the free course, you would not need the free resource or the need to search further.
My goal as a business coach is to teach you that your brand & business is you. If you don’t invest in you, why should others? Investing in you does not always have to cost. Market research is free but time consuming and worth it. YouTube is certainly free but takes time to watch and even beyond that questions arise. Take time to research your industry hero/she-ro and find out how they started and they made it to where they are now. I can assure you it was hard work, dedication, and most importantly an investment of money and time. If no one has told you, you are worth the investment!
Entrepreneurship can be a stressful journey at times. Here are a few tips from top business professionals to take with you on your business journey!
