Invest In You

Have you ever paid for a business coach? Have you ever invested in a training seminar or class that was not sponsored by your company? Do you seek out industry experts and listen to their training calls, attend their conferences?


 How much would you invest in YOU for your own personal and sales development?

I remember that a group of us wanted to go to a seminar in Chicago. We lived in New York, and the seminar early bird price was about to end. I was waiting on the group to make a decision and book the flights. In the mist of trying to get a consensus  of what we were doing, I realized I had to invest in ME with or without the group. I went on the website and registered. I then I told my business partners I was registered and I was making my flight reservations that afternoon.

When I called the hotel for the conference rate they told me they were sold out. I thought "Oh no, I don't know anyone in Chicago, what am I going to do!"
After my initial panic I went on line and looked on one of the travel sites. I saw that if I booked the airfare with them they could get me into the same hotel where the conference was being held at a cheaper rate than the  conference rate. Once again I booked it.
I knew that I had to be at that training. I knew that there was something for me personally and professionally.
Sometimes you have to Invest In You!
Two of my business partners ended up going with me and we had a great time. The conference was worth every dollar I invested. It helped me bring on new team members by the end of that month.
I believe it was a powerful lesson for me to not to wait for others and to put myself and my business first. Invest In You! It will be worth it.
