đź’ˇWhat would an empowered, brazen life look like? But, you could choose to be proudly brazen, too. This definition of my last name often has negative connotations.

If you’re on the fence about whether to make a personal or professional investment in yourself, I hope this post nudges you to choose the thought, “I AM WORTH IT”, too. If I don't believe I'm worth the gamble, who will? But, even more important than this value-based assessment is my starting mindset: I'M WORTH INVESTING IN. Once I did this broad assessment, it was a no-brainer that the value would far exceed the (high) cost. 💡 Skills: What new skills will I build, and what will that enable for me, immediately and long-term? 💡 Psychological: What’s the potential impact of the increase in clarity and confidence I’m likely to gain? How will that change how I show up? 💡 Emotional: What’s the value of having a dedicated, experienced thought partner rather than working on this on my own?
💡 Financial: How much new business would I need to close (as a direct result of this work) to exceed my costs? Does that seem possible? Generally, I’m looking for 3x the return.įor example, when I determined whether to hire a business coach, I thought: Then I assess if that combined value exceeds the upfront cost and time investment. To figure that out, I take a holistic approach and make a list of potential financial, emotional, psychological, and skillset outcomes. Instead, I sidestep the habit of fixating on upfront cost and time, and instead ask myself this question: “What is the likely return on this investment?” I start from the end result. “I don’t have time” or “I can’t afford that” are less common thoughts for me now-not just because I’m in a more successful place in my life, but because I’ve changed how I look at development opportunities. That analogy stuck with me, and it guides how I think about self-investment today. You could walk your way to the knowledge and growth you seek (do it yourself), or you could fast-track it on wheels (get the support of an education program). A professor once told me that school is a bike.
