The Top 3 Ways to Invest In Yourself
Most entrepreneurs are so dedicated to their business they forget to focus
on what they, themselves, need.
In order to grow your business, there are three key ways you should invest in yourself:
1. Make sure you get plenty of rest and exercise2. Join a professional business networking
group3. Continue to increase your knowledge of
business practices and new advancements in your field
1. Get Plenty of Rest and Exercise
We all know that seven to eight hours of sleep each night is critical
to maintaining our health, brain function, mood, and relationships.
What you might not know is that it is during sleep when your brain makes new
pathways and integrates knowledge.
If you're working on new marketing, at night your brain will pull together the
research and information you learned to help you choose wisely where to spend
your money.
Enough sleep is also vital to your alertness levels, which help you make decisions, solve problems,
and adapt quickly to change.
Exercise is another factor that you need to consider.
Regular exercise offers several benefits
• Weight control• Improved mood• Boosts energy• Helps you sleep better• Relaxation• Helps your body fight diseases
Many business owners work
through lunches, after hours, and seven
days a week, particularly when first starting out.
Not taking time to exercise and
get enough sleep
ultimately will hurt you and
your business.
2. Join a Networking Group
Networking with other business owners is important to market and
grow your business.
Some groups are geared strictly towards meeting new people, others:
• Are more informational• Try to teach new skills• Collaborate on projects• Cross-promote each other• Offer business advice
Some networking groups are specific towards your business type (i.e. accounting groups, insurance
groups, etc.).
