Lately, I’ve been all about investing in myself. Quality over quantity has been my fashion mantra for a while now and I believe in investing in staple items that I’ll wear over and over. But, investing in yourself means way more than splurging for a pair of black Louboutins, it also means investing in your education. As I approach the end of my master’s program, I realize how much I’ve learned and I also realize how much I still want to know. I’ve been investing in books to further my education and looking for workshops to attend about different counseling topics and specialities. When it comes to blogging, I’ve learned that a little investment goes a long way. Good looking, professional business cards, beautiful personal and stock photography, cute outfits with statement pieces to wear to networking events, and a blog design you’re proud of all go a long way. On top of that, investing in yourself by attending a blog or brand related webinar or conference makes a huge difference. We’re always willing to invest in others and their dreams, but investing in ourselves is just as important.
3 Reasons to Invest in Yourself
You’re representing your brand/business: Whenever you attend a networking event or, quite honestly, whenever you step out of the house, you have an opportunity to introduce your blog and brand to the world. First impressions matter, so it’s important that you represent your blog, brand, or business well. This means putting yourself together and looking the part (especially if fashion is a part of your brand – but even if it’s not). It’s important to invest in basics that you can rewear over and over and it’s also just as important to invest in statement pieces that make you memorable. I also can’t say enough how important it is to invest in business cards!
You know you’ll get a return on your investment: When you invest in yourself, you know you’ll get a return and if you don’t, you have no one to blame but yourself. Investing in yourself is really the only sure fire way to make sure you get your money’s worth because the ball is in your court in terms of what you do with your investment.
You deserve it!: We all work so hard establishing our blogs, brands, and businesses, and frankly, we deserve to splurge every once in a while, especially if it’s for the purpose of making ourselves better. Investing in yourself is a great way to make yourself the best version of you that you can possible be, and that’s worth every penny.
