And (sorry), but there really is no simple push button “shiny new thing” that will make you a million dollars overnight with no “sweat equity” investment from you.
You get out what you put in, I firmly believe that.
Sometimes that means investing your hard earned money in something that will help you build your business faster.
And sometimes it means you"ll need to invest your even more precious time to learn how to use a new tool or master a new process.
Having a “Whatever it takes!” mindset, taking action and investing in yourself will always take you a lot further than waiting for your lottery ticket to hit. (Yes, someone hits Powerball every week or two, but it probably won"t be you or me!)
I personally spend thousands of dollars in a typical year on seminars, products and services that I think will give me some advantage in my business. This is almost always money well spent although the payback isn"t always immediately obvious.
Compared to the costs of starting and operating a brick and mortar business for example, or the cost of a specialized degree program, these expenditures in myself are small but their return on investment can be large.
I like to think of it as my own “hit the lottery slowly” plan.I recommend you invest in your own ongoing education too, whether that "s making a point to regularly read good books and articles in subject areas that can help you, attending high priced seminars, or something in between.
Whatever it is, just do it.
