Investing in yourself first is the key to a truly rich life. Your most important investment is you.
Warren Buffet is famous for his wealth – $72 billion – as well as the sage advice he
dispenses through books, interviews and the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letter he writes each year.
Yes, the 84-year-old Buffet knows a lot about stocks and bonds, and following his lead on those can be lucrative, but he maintains that your best and most important investment should be in yourself.
“Invest in as much of yourself as you can, you are your own biggest asset by far.” – Warren Buffet
You will never get a better return on any asset and Buffet keeps the investing philosophy simple, with simple ways to carry it out:
- Mind: read, write, learn.
- Body: move more, eat less. Sleep more, stress less.
- Spirit: pray, say thanks, give back.
Buffet also recommends surrounding yourself with excellence. Are the people around you now making you feel better, stronger, and more positive?
The 401(k) can’t grow if you don’t grow. Start with you first.
Have a great week.
