How to invest in yourself and make wise financial decisions
In this article I am going to explain how to make wise financial decisions which are about investing in yourself.
Introducing money into the equation can trigger a whole bunch of emotional responses which include cynicism (you just want my money/have no ethics/it won’t work) and victim mindset (please save me).
To invest wisely in yourself it is important to recognize these emotions are occuring but not to allow them to take over your rational mind. Some more subtle emotions are useful to guide but some are extreme and are probably related to an experience in the past which is now clouding our judgement.
This is more likely if you are investing in yourself where you are naturally more sensitive to protect yourself from exploitation and disappointment.
I am going to use my INSPIRE! programme as an example as it is something I know well (download details here) and you may well be considering investing in this yourself so this can be a practical exercise.
(you can download the full programme with each of the deliverables here)
So the words at the top will resonate with some of you very strongly.
Feel optimistic and excited;
Inspired and in control of your future working life;
Free to be…
