The Art of An Investment Plan – Part 5<\/span><\/h2>\n

How do I leverage what I already do as an investment in myself?<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>This question, on the surface, seems tough. \u00a0It\u2019s because you\u2019re at the start or beginning of what I call the \u201cgreater you.\u201d You see yourself through the lenses of where you\u2019d like to be in the future; you see through the eyes of your dreams. \u00a0Seeing this way makes what you\u2019re doing now seem small and even insignificant. Don\u2019t discredit your first steps to greatness. That\u2019s all it is. Now back to the question.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>
\n<\/span> Four Ideas to Help You Find Your Self-Investment Targets<\/strong>
\nWhen we decided to face this question head on, we were able to come up with four ideas that were perfect for investing more in what we already do. \u00a0I hope our initial four ideas can help you find yours.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Our education.<\/strong> \u00a0We\u2019d had our college degrees for a number of years before we chose to see them as nothing more than an investment in ourselves. \u00a0That lead to the best next question ever… How then do we use what we already have to our advantage? We started looking for better jobs (opportunities) that aligned with our dreams. \u00a0We left complacency behind. Now we have careers that we\u2019re proud of and excel in which provide for our well-being and way of life.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Coaching.<\/strong> \u00a0We\u2019re constantly involved in coaching others in becoming a better version of themselves. \u00a0We decided to perform coaching in a more professional way. We\u2019re not trying to get rich coaching, but rather since we were already doing it, we decided to get better at it. \u00a0We developed material around our coaching and we have (now) tons of resources we can point folks to. We leveraged what we were doing and invested more into it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Pre-marriage and Post-marriage counseling.<\/strong> \u00a0While it still surprises me that people come to me for this type counseling, we get more requests than any other category. \u00a0With that said, we take what we know and the lessons we\u2019ve learned to point people to the resources and tools they can use to make marriage all they desire it to be. \u00a0You\u2019d be surprised at how much we put into this effort, from manuals to (soon to be released) books. The point is this…if you\u2019re already doing it, do it better. Invest in your gift. \u00a0Make something of it and of yourself. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Writing \/ Studying Scripture.<\/strong> \u00a0This is my number one love. \u00a0I love to read and write about scripture. \u00a0This love has birth three online platforms, hundreds of articles, ebooks, physical books, and so much more. \u00a0Whatever you study and enjoy is a prime target for you to invest. Trust me, there are others out there who can benefit from the work you\u2019ve already done.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now for the practical how. \u00a0<\/strong>
    \nOne of the best ways to make your self-investment target better is to create a website (or blog). \u00a0This gives you a forum, platform, you control to post all your content and wealth of knowledge. How about creating an app using an idea you already perform in your own life? \u00a0Maybe it\u2019s something you do manually today, but would work better on a smart device or computer. It\u2019s time you invested in you.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>Today is Friday!<\/span>
    \n<\/span>Don\u2019t get caught up in what other websites or apps look like, get caught up in the idea of having a place to promote your gifts. \u00a0Do it any way you can and in time see it get better and better. Remember you\u2019re taking the first steps towards the \u201cgreater you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
