The 4 investments I made to get out of financial trouble
Sep 27, 2021 12:01 pm
Hey there
So if you've read my emails or followed me for a while...
It's no secret that 2019 was my best and worst year combined...
It's the year I went into debt to a total of N1.5billion..
The good news is that I also got out of that debt within the same year..
I owe my ability to do that to 4 key investments that I have made a habit of working on...daily
These investments are not expensive..
But they are incredibly powerful and offer a return on investment that is hard to beat.
You may or may not be over N1B in debt...
But I imagine you feel something is lacking in your life.
If you do...
It’s possible you’re not investing in one or more of these four things.
These four investments turned my life around...
So if they can help a guy like me...
They might help you build your own growth strategy..
1. Invest in your Relationships
No matter what happens in your life...
Nobody can take away your relationships except yourself.
Everything you want in life is pretty much in the hands or custody of someone else..
It's the quality of your relationship with these custodians that determines how much assess you have to what you want...
And also how easily you'll get it.
Back in 2019...
If it wasn't for the quality of relationships that I had around me...
I'd probably still be in debt today.
2. Invest in your Health
I'm currently a reformed workaholic.
I've been known to go 10 days straight without food or sleep..
Just me and my coffee.
Not very smart.
And I've had to pay a heavy price for my foolishness.
I got smarter though and today..
I take my health pretty seriously.
3. Invest in your Character
As bad as 2019 was for me...
I developed my character in a way I never had before.
It taught me about success and failure, and what only I bring to the table.
When you experience a bad day...
It isn’t a bad day...
It’s a character day… a day to learn and improve.
This simple flip of the switch changed a lot for me.
I became pretty serious about journaling and...
Learning from each day as much as I could and...
Documenting what I learned so I don't repeat the mistakes of the day.
I become more self-aware by the day...
Which resulted in a huge amount of self-evolution.
The person you are today is not the person you will be tomorrow.
You’re always growing...
And the more conscious you become of this...
The bigger impact you can have and the greater you can leverage your progress.
If investing in your character each day isn’t part of your growth strategy...
Maybe it should be.
4. Invest in your Knowledge/Mentorship
When I found myself N1B+ in debt...
I pretty much lost everything...
But the one thing I couldn't lose even if I tried...
Was the knowledge I'd gotten over the years.
I spent years honing my craft and developing a skill that helped people.
But I didn't just focus on what I had...
I worked on developing even more skills that would give me an edge.
One of my best investments in education and knowledge was being a part of the platinum level of Innocentminds NLP training programs.
To be honest...
If it wasn't for the training I received..
I would have lost my mind.
The training I received helped me focus and manage my mind so I could function...
Even when I was battling with memory loss and a few other embarrassing conditions...
By the way...
You can get a taste of what I got if you're in lagos this wednesday.
Trust me when I say...you're going to love it.
Anyways...
Aside from getting training from Innocentminds..
Over the years...
I've doubled down on mentoring.
And I actually listened.
I committed to learning and growing and once I did....
I found myself letting go of the ego that got me into all that mess in the first place.
Anyone can invest in these four things, including you...
No matter where you are on your journey.
You can tweak them around your lifestyle, and find exercises and rituals that help YOU.
What works for me may not work for you...
But in some form...
These four investments can change your life and may create a waterfall effect for your own growth strategy (just like it did for me).
I recommend to spend one hour each day on each of these.
They are important to me...
Not only allowing me to grow personally...
But grow my businesses at the same time.
Till tomorrow...
Play a bigger game than you've ever played before.
