In a rapidly changing world, the only sure constant in your life is you. An investment in yourself, your tools and your career makes huge sense in the new economy. Why?
- An investment in yourself stays with you forever, long after you have left your current position.
- An investment in yourself gives you a competitive edge over your external and internal competitors.
- You control the return on an investment in yourself.
Here is my Top 10 List of Investments you can make in yourself to succeed in 2012 and beyond.
1.) Training – The media world is changing, and like the old cliché says, “Whatever got you where you are today won’t be enough to get you where you want to be tomorrow.” Look for innovative training that stretches you beyond the tired industry standards your competitors have been exposed to.
2) Finances – It is hard to think when your knees are knocking. Get your financial house in order no matter how much effort or sacrifice you have to make.
3.) Breath Mints – You are a brand and the way you package and present yourself is part of that brand. An investment in good grooming and apparel creates a powerful first impression for your personal brand.
4.) Thirty Dollar Consultants – Make a point of reading at least one business book a month to keep your knowledge ahead of the curve.
5.) Accoutrements – Everything you carry or use, from your pen to your car, and from your laptop to your presentations, speaks volumes about the way you feel about yourself and your career.
6.) Networking – Membership in strategically selected clubs, like Chamber of Commerce or Ad and Sales Club can be fun, educational, provide great contacts, and enhance your social life too.
7.) Health – Joining a fitness club or investing time in a daily workout will improve your physical and mental capacity.
8.) Spirituality – Whether you get your satisfaction from family time, religion, charitable work, or any other aspect of your life that makes you a contributing member of society, you need to invest in a balanced life to have a successful career.
9.) Online –Consider developing your own website, blog or newsletter to become known for what you know, or subscribe to services like our SoundADvice to do it for you.
10.) Vacations – A vacation is an investment in your health and your career. You’ll come back refreshed, re-charged and with some brand new ‘out of the box thinking’ that will dramatically enhance your productivity.
