I read recently that LeBron invests a million a year into improving his body so that he can be his best and earn a NBA salary of $40 million a year. That means he invested 2.5% of his salary into the thing that is responsible for his salary. And that’s just his financial investment I can only begin to imagine the time investment he makes into his vision. When you think of your goals & what you’re working towards what are you doing to invest in them? Soooooo many people are terrified of investing and this is why (I am saying this from a place of love 🥰) so many people remain in the same exact situation- feeling unfulfilled, feeling that their dreams are too far fetched, and feeling bitter watching everyone else around them progress .... I get it, investing in yourself can seem scary or risky but if you want to up-level you can’t stay in your comfort zone or even rely on your current way of thinking to get there. If you want to up-level your mind, business and life you will need to invest strategically which includes spending money on books, seminars, business training, business/networking events, travel and anything that improves your mindset & grows your network. When you’re about to invest and you’re beginning to feel that fear ask yourself are you making a decision from your current way of thinking or are you making a decision aligned with your future self? Make the decision today that your future self will thank you for because at the end of the day you’re your greatest asset
