Hi all. Quick question here, one that I'm sure someone can answer.
We've all heard that investing in yourself is one of the best things you can do. Spending money on developing your ability to provide value will bring an increased ROI vs. traditional investments.
My question is, how do you evaluate these kind of decisions?
On a personal note, I remember investing in a 200 dollar (not much, but enough for a college student) course on online freelancing. I purchased this in September 2015... and have yet to really do anything with it. Honestly, I don't know if I'll use this at all, as it seems to be a difficult area to break into.
On the other hand, I prepaid $250 for a number of sessions with a business mentor. The man in question has published numerous information products that have fared well, and is now mentoring me to do the same.
Both seemed like good ideas at the time, but only one seems to have panned so far.
My finances are relatively limited, so being able to choose the correct options would be a valuable asset.
I find it difficult to know whether the money is best spent on learning more, or if it would be better used to finance Fastlane efforts.
If anyone has any experience with investing in themselves in this manner, I would appreciate their input.
Thanks in advance everyone!
