Discover today the benefits of investing in yourself both professionally and personally as Fredrik is joined by David Henzel, a veteran entrepreneur who has been building in the SaaS and e-Commerce space for over 20 years. Together they discuss how to invest in yourself, why having short and long term goals can allow you to stay on track and why accountability partners are necessary to your progress.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It is important to invest in each aspect of your life. This could be investing time in your family and investing in your business but it is crucial to invest in yourself. Invest in your own personal growth which is a combination of keeping yourself in shape, as well as growing mentally. A great way to grow is by investing in learning new skills and information, this can be through audiobooks, personal training, travelling and conferences.

• Another way to invest in yourself is by building your personal brand. Build an amazing network of people with the aim of improving the lives of each person you meet. Each time you meet someone new, think to yourself ‘where can I provide value to this person?’. This could be by offering them advice in personal development, training tips or offering them business connections. Whilst there may not be much short term gain, think of the long game and how this can help you in the future.

• Having a ten-year goal is a rough direction of where you want to go in life. Having a shorter 30-day goal is the actionable plan. These are the things that you want to quickly accomplish and they are goals that are achievable within that time frame. Set yourself further goals to reach in 90 days time, these are actionable goals that can easily be reached in this time frame with dedication. Without something like this, you are wandering around aimlessly without clear direction.

• Having someone to discuss your training with, or even to train alongside will help keep you accountable. Accountability is the key to progress. Meeting in small groups for a short period of time, whereby you talk through your personal progress will ensure you are extra accountable and help you to stay on track. Having accountability partners makes all the difference and makes it easy to stay on track.
