Here are the best ways to invest in yourself if you want to really change your life for the better:
1. Don’t Read! Just Learn:
People don’t like to read books, because their teachers forced them to read boring books and they got turned off on it. But we all know that we have to gain effective knowledge that is available on Books.
If you don’t like physical books, you know about our partnership with Audible, where you can listen to books being narrated to you.
There are lot’s of apps that allows you to listen audiobook for free, here are the app that I use:
- Audible.
- Audiobooks.com.
- Google Play Books.
2. Start a small business:
It might sound foolish, I know. How starting a business is investing in yourself? But before you leave this article, Hear me out!
There is no better way to invest in yourself than trying to build a business. In the process, you will grow so much that you can’t even imagine it now if you haven’t started any business yet.
Running a business is extremely difficult. You need to be good at so many things, especially if it’s a startup. You will have to improve these skills to make your startup successful:
- Communication skills,
- Manage your time better,
- Understand the basics of finance.
- At the same time, cope with stress.
You don’t have to start anything huge, especially if you don’t have the resources. Start an online business even with as little as $100.
You can buy a Lawn Mowers for a hundred bucks,
For example, Start a side business cutting your neighbor’s grass.
An endless number of online businesses do not require a lot of capital. Let’s say you are good at making tasty foreign recipes. You can record your videos and upload them to youtube.
Or even you can turn it into an online course and sell it online. And the great part about it is that you don’t even need a website because there are multiple great platforms to sell courses for free right now!
And if it turns out to be successful, you can slowly turn it into a legitimate business! You can easily earn back your
money and make much more.
We are lucky to be alive t this age because no matter where you are in the world, almost everyone has an internet connection. So this is probably a great option for most people.
3. Learn a valuable skill:
I am a big fan of reading books and learning in general. However, in my experience, skills are far more important than knowledge.
Think about how much information you have consumed in the last week or so, Probably a lot:
- With every video you watch.
- Every article you come across.
- Even with every post, you see when scrolling through your news feed, you learn something new.
And now, let me ask you this? How much of that information is really useful. Not much!
In fact, you will learn a lot of useless stuff in your life, which is not a big deal. But consider this. How many skills do you have? I guess not many, but you use them pretty much every single day.
That’s why to focus on acquiring more skills. Every new skill means another source of income, the more skills you have, the
more money you are going to make.
You can read as much as you want about social
media, but it isn’t going to help you much, but if you learn to place effective ads on Facebook.
For example, You can instantly turn it into a source of income. Or you can learn graphic designing, copywriting, and web designing.
An endless number of skills could be turned into a source of income.
4. Invest in your productivity:
People say that time is money, but that’s not true. Money can be earned back, but time can’t. Once it passes, there is no way you can restore it. If you are a teenager, you will never become a child again.
If you are an adult, you will never become a teenager again. If you are an old man, there is no going back. We all have 24 hours a day.
Even if you become the world’s richest person, you will not have more time than the poorest person on the planet. So guard your time as much as you can.
If you can invest in something that can save you some time, do it! 24 hours a day! That’s enough time to master a new skill or start a side business.
Then what should you do? Well, find a way to fix that problem in my case.
For example,
- I discovered that I am much more productive in the morning than in the evening, so I started waking up at 6 am and going to sleep earlier.
Invest in making yourself productive because time is the only thing you can’t buy. The more productive you become, the more time you will have.
5. Invest in Digital knowledge:
Just a few minutes ago, I told you about how skills are far more
important than knowledge, but that doesn’t mean knowledge is useless.
In fact, the more you know, the more opportunities you can spot.
In one of the previous articles, we discussed How Rich women Makes Money With Debt? and How to Become a millionaire in 5 years?
The only way to spot such opportunities is to understand how new emerging technologies work.
Those who understated how cryptocurrencies work
early on realized their potential and invested. Today they are millionaires and, in some cases, billionaires.
Those who clearly saw the future of transportation understood that moving to electric cars is the future and heavily invested in Tesla and also became millionaires. There are endless examples.
The only way to spot a great opportunity is to invest in learning how they work. We know that AI is going to be huge in the figure.
Learning how it works can help you to spot the next billion-dollar opportunity. Or the quantum computers,
virtual reality, and so on.
6. Invest in your health:
Most young people don’t pay enough attention to their health. Whether you are a teenager or an adult, your immune system is at its peak, so even if you don’t exercise or eat unhealthy food, it can handle that.
When you get older, your immune system gets weaker, and you get sick more frequently. Now you will have to spend more time in the hospital because you didn’t take care of your health when you were young.
Make sure you don’t make that mistake, don’t lose your health for something that will only last a short time. Don’t stress out over little things that don’t deserve your attention, eat healthy foods, exercise, and have fun.
7. Talk with Many People:
Talk to people, to a lot of people, from different backgrounds and ideologies. The more you expose yourself to different types of thinking the more you get to understand the world around you.
You have out with people who are very similar to you, they live near you, they consume the same content as you, they think the same way you do, they vote the same way as you, basically creating an echo-chamber where your ideas get redirected back at you.
The problem is, that growth happens only when you expose yourself to new concepts. In your quest to talk to interesting people, some will become guiding lights for your future.
The higher the quality of your connection the wealthier you are in life.
Conclusion:
