Investing in one’s self is important, especially as a business owner. I have been on quite a journey the last 5 years as I started and am growing my business. By sharing a few of my favorite ways to invest into myself I hope to inspire you to invest in yourself and become the best that you can possibly be, living out your purpose in life.

Hiring a Coach. In June 2021 I hire Coach Ed as my business coach. In the last year I have learnt so many things. We have worked thru, conquered and shifted mindsets, business practices, habits, client opportunities, sales, and the list goes on. Coach Ed is a beside you, in the trenches with you kind of coach. I know that the growth of my business is largely a result of putting in the hard word and partnering with Coach Ed. If you are looking for a coach with wisdom, experience and training Ed is the coach. You can follow him on Instagram @ Truforth for lots of wisdom nuggets and empowering words.

Choosing relationships and connections. We are created for fellowship. Choosing to build relationships and spend time with the people that are closest to me brings me a rejuvenation and refreshing. I have many levels of friendship. There is family, friends, business colleagues and mentors to name a few. I intentional plan time in every week for connection and relationship. It could be a coffee date with a girlfriend, a date with the significant other or a phone call with a sister.

Daily Quiet Time. Starting my day off with what I call quiet time sets the tone for my day. Quiet time happens before I let the world into my world. This means so social media scrolling, news surfing or emails and messages beforehand. I have learnt that when I take the time to invest in myself and set the intention for my day before starting the day that I show up as the person that I was created to be. My morning quiet time includes reading, playing worship music, praying, meditation, affirmations, Brendon Buchard’s Growth Day Fire, journaling and light exercise.

Proactive Wellness Care. I am only as strong as my physical body. I choose to invest into my over health thru chiropractic care. Dr Sonja of Lifestyle Chiropractic and Wellness adjusts me twice a month. When I first started with her, I suffered from ringing in my ears. Through her care I have been relieved of those issues. I also choose to assist my body with toxin removal thru Ionic detoxing foot soaks. You can find Dr Sonja on Instagram @ Lifestyle Chiro and Wellness These times are my relaxing time. I also invest in a massage twice a month. With all the typing etc. that I do, my muscles thank me for a massage. Heather Lu of Healing Reflection Studio gives the best deep tissue massages.

Continuing Learning. There is always more to be learnt and skills to be honed. Having a hungry attitude is a great way to stay at the forefront of your industry. There is formal education of course and that has its place. I believe that a lot can be learnt through connecting with those around me and asking lots of questions. Find those who are where you want to be and ask questions. Ask for wisdom and then put it to work. I have an inquisitive personality by nature, but I have learned how to ask questions that gather a whole host of knowledge and wisdom. Connect with people and ask lots of questions.

I hope this has inspired you to invest in yourself and become the BEST version of you so that you can live your best life.
