21: The Value of Clarity: Investing in Yourself Is Never a Waste of Money

Some people have amazing sales pages that rope us into purchasing something that we think we need, but only end up regretting later. It happens to the best of us. At the time, it feels like a waste of money and it can be very easy to beat ourselves up over a mistaken purchase. But there is always something to be learned, even in our mistakes. We’re diving into the value of clarity and how investing in yourself is never a waste of money on today’s episode! Stop Beating Yourself Up    You don’t need to beat yourself up. There is always something to learn when you’ve invested in yourself. Challenge yourself to look at your purchase from a different perspective. Can you learn something from this? The answer is almost always yes. Be curious about what you were able to glean from the investment.  Be a Good Steward We don’t need to be stingy - we do need to be investing ourselves. But we can do it wisely and with discernment. Taking on debt wisely and also being careful about how we invest our time helps us be a better business owner. It’s not just about money, though, it’s also about our time, our energy, and our skills and abilities.  Find What Works for You Lots of people will tell you what you “should” do - and we can often “should” on ourselves. Sometimes we have to find out the hard way that a strategy or an idea just isn’t for us. In the end, you have to decide what works for you and matches your values. Figuring that out is a process and might mean trying something that doesn’t work first.     We’d Love to Help You Invest in Yourself Grab our free guide to helping you make expert decisions in your business.
