Which area, if improved even slightly, would make the greatest impact in your life right meow?
2. Own Your Worth
As your own greatest asset, are you acknowledging your own value? Are you using and sharing your gifts, skills and talents for the greater good?
Build the courage to ask for that raise, make that job or career jump or turn your passion into a side gig. What you appreciate, appreciates. Amirite?!?
Shift Inward:
How much are you leaving on the table by staying where you are?
3. Let Go of Sunk Costs
Walk away from people or things that drain your energy or time or do not reciprocate regardless of what you’ve previously invested. Your energy is a precious resource!
When you fully accept the loss (without judgment) and allow healing or transformation you create space for new opportunities.
Shift Inward:
What are you holding onto that is weighing you down or preventing your growth?
4. Diversify
Nourish your mind, body and soul by learning new skills, expanding your knowledge base or perspective, and engaging in new experiences. When you consciously challenge your current state you shift out of patterns of merely surviving and begin thriving.
It’s been said: “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.”
aka no gains!
Shift Inward:
When was the last time you were challenged or tried something new?
5. Live in Abundance
What good are your investments if they only benefit you? When you hoard your riches you operate from a scarcity mindset. Trust that there is enough to go around.
Serve others. Give what you want to receive—forgiveness, acceptance, love, joy, grace. Mentor others. Nurture your relationships.
Shift from ‘me’ to ‘we’. We rise by lifting others.
Shift Inward:
What area of your life are you playing small?
6. Be Aggressive
Often, you have to take risks or invest big to receive a huge return. If what you truly desire seems out of reach, it’s not. That’s the noise of the market distracting you. Are you really willing to do what it takes to get what you deserve?
Get comfortable with discomfort and uncertainty.
Go to therapy. Quit your job. Hire that coach. Go on that tropical retreat. Do that yoga training. Sign up for the marathon. Start your business.
Shift Inward:
Where are you most resistant to change and why?
7. Bonus: For Business Leaders
There is plenty of research that shows valuing employees puts you in a position to outperform companies that don’t.
Engaged, appreciated and satisfied employees contribute to a healthier work environment, an innovative and purposeful culture and retention.

Do you invest in your people, teams and processes and set them up for success? Do you encourage or model these self-investment behaviors? Which area could you make a greater investment?
