Invest in Yourself to Acquire Wealth


Invest in yourself, it is one of the most important things that you can do to achieve personal success.

Learning how to maximize the enormous potential that lies in your mind and body is a necessity. It can turn into considerable riches. Everything you need to accomplish anything you want is already inside of you. When it comes to your success, the biggest investment you can make is in yourself.

An investment is not truly an investment unless it appreciates in value. This is a very basic principle that makes complete sense. Think about it. Are we not our own biggest investment? Shouldn't we give ourselves whatever is necessary to grow personally? Take charge of your own growth because you have the most to gain from growing and the most to lose if you stand still.

If you're thinking about starting a business, improving your professional skills, or making yourself stand out with your employer, you may want to consider investing in yourself through education. This includes learning how to set goals, how to manage your time, how to remove fear and doubt, how to adjust your thinking, create new habits, squash bad habits, how to take care of your health, how to focus, how to acquire financial abundance, etc. By taking the time to do these things, your return on investment will be exponential!

A very simple example of investing in yourself is to read. By reading, you are able to gain information that will benefit you in many ways. You can gather information from books, magazines, and the Internet; resources that you could not have tapped into had you not committed into investing in yourself.

You see, when you invest in yourself, a thousand other doors open. Imagine the possibilities if you invest in yourself daily. You will basically be compounding all the interest you earn daily and your return will be more than priceless. A million other doors will begin to open. Release your God given potential and begin the process.

Start your day with something intensely positive. When waking, choose thoughts of gratitude for the simple things in your life. This will benefit you immensely and set the stage for the mindset of personal growth.

You are your most important commodity. Be proactive about making regular deposits in your "life bank account". By preparing sufficiently, your positive actions will build up these investments. You'll be in a position to make a withdrawal and still have reserves to draw on.

What areas of your life do you need to invest in? What areas of your life have you been neglecting? Once you have identified problem areas, ask yourself, "What will it take for me to make positive changes?"

By investing in yourself, you can make it happen, make anything happen. Whatever your dreams, goals, or aspirations may be, you WILL make it happen.

To start creating a self-investment habit suggests Brian Tracy, a best selling author and international speaker. Invest 3% of your income on personal development. That personal development could be books, coaching, workshops, or any number of possibilities that focus on giving you a greater awareness of yourself and/or adding more tools to your toolbox.

There are so many people all over the world that are living their dreams. Join them! Don't wait for everything to be "Just Right" to start going for your dreams. You are more than capable of achieving your success. The only thing holding you back ....You guessed it.... It is YOU! Get started today and make it happen!

I will leave you with a quote.

"No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction."

Charles Kendall Adams 1835-1902, Professor of History and Author
