Investing In Yourself

As entrepreneurs, we all want to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. 💪But we must invest, and invest wisely, in ourselves in order to become financially successful and stable entrepreneurs.  💵 Toward the end of my conversation with Alex S. Elliot, I asked her what she’s learned from investing in herself. 💰See her words of wisdom below, and check out the full interview in my Facebook group! 

When it came to running her business, Alex knew that she didn’t know enough. She reached the point in her business where she knew she had to learn from those with more knowledge in certain areas. 🧠

The question that she asked herself that made her first invest with a Facebook mentor was this: How would she differentiate herself and create something that hadn’t yet been created? ✏️

She wanted there to be enough difference and distinction that she knew she wouldn’t get it by studying one person’s material. For Alex, she realized she had to DO something different to GET something different. 👩‍💻

There’s something about spending money to invest in yourself that makes you deadly serious. 💸🤓

The power of mentorship and investing in yourself is real. You HAVE to be sure who you’re investing with - you need to align with their values and they need to do the thing you want to do. 🤝If not, they’re not the right person for you.

Again: if they haven’t guided others to where you want to go, they're not the guide you need! 

When you hire a mentor, you buy their mistakes. You let them compress the time to success for you. Finding the perfect mentors takes research! Do your due diligence - look up the folks listed in their testimonials. Ask questions before you invest. 🙋

Get out there and invest in yourself wisely! You deserve investment AND the success that comes from a good investment! 🤩
