Here’s The Smartest Million-Dollar Thing You Can Invest In

That you have full control over

I listened to Benjamin Hardy, PhD on a podcast today. I must say, it was an eye-opening experience.

He built his writing career into a million-dollar business in just three years. How did he do it? One word.

Investing.

He invested a ton of money into learning the craft and that ultimately reaped huge rewards later down the road. Stay calm though. I’m not telling you to go invest thousands of dollars into yourself now.

We’re broke.

But here’s one thing we all have besides money — time.

If you invest enough time, you’ll stick to your craft more and more.

One thing I learned from the podcast is if you invest enough money into something, it puts more onus on you to follow through.

I mean, who wants to buy a $400 writing course and do nothing afterward? That’s highly unlikely and I hope that’s not you (unless you’re loaded and you have some money to give away). If you spend that much money on something, you’re going to follow it through to the end.

You’ll take hundreds of notes, practice the techniques every day, and try harder to get results.

Since we’re broke, instead of trying to invest a bunch of money into ourselves, we’re going to try investing our time.

Don’t lie to me, I know you have time.

Even if you have a full-time job, I can guarantee that you have two hours in your day that you aren’t fully utilizing.

I’m a full-time student in college and that takes up most of my day. However, I still find the time to edit at 6 am and write at 8 pm. I’ve done this for ninety days straight (and I’m still going), so if you want to be the best [insert lifelong goal here], you have to make time for it.

It’s the only way.

Everything requires sacrifice and if you aren’t going to invest the money, investing time is the only route to take. If you can’t do either, you might as well throw your dreams out the window and wave as they fly away for someone else to make them a reality.

Time is the only asset we all have and the more we invest, the easier it is to stay on track.

If there’s one thing you can fully invest in — it’s you.

People don’t invest in themselves enough (including me).

The people who have, are extremely successful in their field. Now, it wasn’t easy. Ask Warren Buffet how much money he lost before he landed a jackpot investment (A LOT). It’s the same thing with time.

You’re going to lose A LOT of time. But you’re also going to gain an enormous asset. Most people lose money in investments because they invest in the wrong thing. Something fell through the cracks and for whatever reason, the business failed.

Investing is more than trying your luck, it’s a matter of belief. How much do you believe in yourself to make your dreams come true?

You know what you have to do, you know what you want to do, and you know what your next move is.

If there’s one business you should invest in, it’s yourself. Because the rewards my friend (*kisses fingers like a French waiter*) are scrumptious.
