Invest in Yourself

The Greeks highly valued a principle called arete--the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of life and in all disciplines. Arete is the art of self-improvement.

Jim Rohn says, "Work harder on yourself than you do in your job." He also says, "Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune."

By dedicating yourself to lifelong learning, there's no limit to how much better you can make yourself. In doing so, you increase the value you bring to the marketplace. As Buckminster Fuller said, "You can't learn less."

Tony Robbins: "If we habitually focus on how to improve things that are already great, can you see how this spirit can transform ourselves, our organizations, families and communities?"

Jack Welch: "I was afraid of the internet because I couldn't type."

Stephen King: "If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time or the tools to write."

One book that my partner, Will Allred, gave me spoke about the importance of reading. Check out "Love is the Killer App"...it's a good read.

I agree. Also, once you invest in yourself, nobody can take that away from you.

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."
- Ben Franklin
