Your worst investment

Investment success is generally determined by its return.

One of the most important investments you make occurs over the life of your career. And, it has nothing to do with your 401K or IRA.

On average, you’ll invest 90,000 hours at work.

Your worst investment is emerging at the end of those 90,000 hours no better than when you started. 

Investing so much time and energy into work only makes sense if you ensure it’s a transformational experience.

Work is the perfect soil for self-transformation because it includes two vital components: time and challenges. Over time and through challenges, you have the opportunity to learn, grow, and mature into the best version of yourself.

What if, at the end of your work journey, you transform into the best you? What if you’re more wise, skillful, compassionate, thoughtful, and connected to others?

Now, that’s a worthy return.
