Episode No. 53 The Importance Of Investing In Yourself
"The best investment you can make is in yourself. "
Y'all know that I am the queen of bootstrapping. I will use what I got to make some magical ish happen in my life and business. Expensive mic for the podcast? Nope, I just use my iPhone headphones to record the show. Fancy DSLR camera to take pictures for the blog? No mayum I just use my trusty iPhone. After nearly 4 years of bootstrapping my business, your girl is tired and ready to level the heck up. So I recently made a major investment in my business in hopes of taking NRJ from hobby to a full-blown, full-time profitable business. Is it scary? Hecky yeah! I've never made such a huge financial investment in my creative entrepreneurial journey. But it was definitely time to. If I'm being completely honest I feel like I've hit a wall. I created NRJ and carried this bad boy for 4 years on my own but now I feel like I'm stuck and I need some help scaling it to the business I know it can be. So I decided to push past the fear and do what I have to do to make ish happen! Have you been in my shoes before? Have you bootstrapped your hustle and now feeling like you've hit a bit of plateau and ready to make the necessary investments to level up? Are you thinking of investing in a coach, a trainer, a seminar, an e-course, or a specialized degree, etc? Well, today's episode is for you! Today I'm sharing my experience hiring a business development coach, having peace about making such a huge investment and how to know when it's time to ditch the bootstrapping and level up in your goal chase + life.
