The Habit of Self Investment
“The best investment you can make is in yourself.”
—Warren Buffet (American Investor, Business Tycoon, Philanthropist, and the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway.)
This one incident took place a few years ago; I was with some friends, listening to the conversation about
investing, buy and sharing stocks, since they were very active on the stock market. I was curious and wanted to try my luck, hence I began investing with a small amount, but it resulted in a loss.
I understood it was not my cup of tea, better to invest in long term and gain returns after 2-3 years. But what really brought the realization to me was when I attended a few seminars.
One such event was held at a 5 stars hotel in Chennai. It had gathered quite an impressive crowd, crowd from BNI sector, authors and others who were looking to gain knowledge from the speakers. There was so much to look at which normally is difficult with a 9-5 job. There were authors promoting their book, while some were showcasing their ‘Transformation Programmes’. This was my moment of realization; I must invest in self-development/self-transformation and it all started from there.
I met my mentor Mr. Amol Karale (Version 2.0 Mentor & Author “Magic of Failure”) through one of
the posts on LinkedIn and requested to be a part of his programme as a mentee.
Attending T. Harv Eker’s ‘Millionaire Mind Intensive’, 3 days’ workshop, gave me a deeper insight of selfinvestment and self-transformation. I preferred investing in buying self-help/selftransformation books, attending such seminars and workshops was worth every bit of my time and energy. I
knew I was on the right track and it was needed to grow and progress in life.
Keep 10% of your savings for self-development. Our academic years can help us gain knowledge to a
certain level, we learn more when we begin to work as a professional, but there is something more that we need to do to quench the thirst of gaining more knowledge, more insights, more information. It is a must to keep upgrading ourselves. Self-transformation is a very important aspect of one’s life. Never stop learning and growing and investing in self-transformation. Self-development is a neverending process, you see! I have created one secret bank account in which I park 10% of my income. This saving helps me invest for upgrading and enhancing my skills.
