“The best investment you will ever make is in yourself.” – Warren Buffett
The thought of investing your hard earned money can seem very intimidating.
With thousands of investment vehicles making the right choice can seem almost impossible.
From savings accounts to stocks, bonds, real estate, or even starting a business there are many outlets to choose from.
So what do you think is the most important investment?
According to billionaires like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos, the most important decision you can make is to invest in yourself.
Yes, it may sound cliche, but that’s because it’s the truth.
Do you have a special talent or skill? Of course, you do… everyone does.
Investing in yourself sends a message to yourself and those around you that you have potential to add value to your life and others
The key is to learn how to maximize yourself.
Setting goals is a vital step to self-investing. However, when it comes to setting goals the
most important step is to write your goals down!! Effective and successful goal writing consists of 5 steps:
SMART Goals.
- Get Specific: This step will provide you with the essentiality of your current goal.
- Allow goals to be Measurable: This allows your goals to be measured and compared.
- Goals should be Attainable: It is okay to dream big, but make sure your goals are actually able to be reached.
- Goals should be Results-Oriented: Your vision of the future is the most vital aspect of this step in goal setting.
- Stay within a Time Horizon: Creating target dates will be the final step in your goal writing list. Create a proper time zone that correlates with the amount of effort that has to be put in. These dates are incredibly important to your success.
The road to success will not be a straight path, but it will be worth it in the end. It is up to you to have the faith to invest in yourself!!
