Being an entrepreneur is hard. It can also be wildly rewarding, but it comes at a cost. Often, business owners spread themselves too thin, which ultimately leads to burnout. For this reason, when you choose to invest in yourself, you’re making one of the most important decisions for your personal and professional future.

Has your self-confidence ever been shaken? Have you ever been scared to step up in leadership positions? Do you sometimes have a little voice inside your head telling you that you’re not good enough? It’s happened to me more times than I can count, but it’s in those moments that successful entrepreneurs rise to the occasion.

Investing In Your Well-Being Is Vital for Long-Term Success

 

Now, when I say, “invest in yourself,” I don’t mean buying a new Louis Vuitton bag, or booking a swanky getaway, or even going to a fancy five-star restaurant. To actually invest in yourself means developing your skills, talents, and abilities so that you can be more valuable to your clients and have a more successful career. 

And the best part? It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money.

The truth is that there are many ways that you can invest time into improving your skills and personal development without spending anything at all. If you want to jumpstart your success, consider hiring a business mentor to help you identify and utilize tools that facilitate learning and personal growth.

 

Three Signs You’re In Need Of Self-Investment

 

Everyone experiences self-doubt at some point in their life, but rather than viewing it as a negative, use those moments as fuel for growth and change. I wholeheartedly believe that leaders aren’t born, they’re made, and everyone has a place around the boardroom table if they work at it hard enough. 

It’s important that before you step into a leadership position, you work through your struggles and close-minded thinking, and work on acquiring the skills and mindset to help you succeed.

So, how do you know that it’s time to invest in yourself? Keep reading.

 

1: You Have Trouble Saying ‘No’

 

Are you the person who always feels like they need to say ‘yes’ to everything that’s asked of them? Go-getters have an uncanny knack for biting off more than they should chew, which unfortunately means they’re often overloaded with work and things to do.

A poor work-life balance is one of the biggest catalysts for burnout, so knowing when to say ‘no’ and ‘yes’ is imperative in order to maintain healthy personal development.

The next time someone asks you to do something, make sure you’re able to follow-through without giving up your sanity in the process. If you can’t say that the task is simply not worth it.

 

2: You’ve Been Questioning Yourself A Lot

 

The way we talk to ourselves is important, and if the little voice inside your head is telling you that you aren’t good enough or that you can’t do something, it’s time for you to make a change. 

If you’ve recently been promoted or have more professional responsibilities but you haven’t been given the proper tools or resources to thrive, self-imposter syndrome could stand in the way of you being successful. Working on your mindset, or how you speak to yourself will make all the difference.

Try starting each day by saying positive affirmations to yourself in the mirror. “I can do this,” “today will be a great day,” or “I’m valuable and irreplaceable,” are all great examples of pep-talks you can give yourself to will positivity into existence. 

 

3: Delegating Your Team Is Difficult

 

There’s an old saying, “if you want something done right, just do it yourself,” and while it sounds admirable, it can actually hinder your progress in the long run. 

People who are used to running the show themselves, often find it challenging to relinquish control and delegate important tasks to someone else. The key here is to learn to work with other people by letting go of certain responsibilities. 

Most importantly, don’t ever be afraid to ask for help—it’s not a sign of weakness, I promise. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. There’s no ‘I’ in ‘TEAM,’ and you don’t have to burden yourself at your own expense.

 

Invest In Yourself with A Business Mentor

 

Without a doubt, I believe that everyone should try their best to invest at least one hour per week into improving themselves personally and professionally. I think it’s especially important if you are planning on pursuing a new career as an entrepreneur.

So where should you start?

We learn by osmosis, and so investing in someone to help you tackle challenges and overcome struggles could make or break your success. Hiring a business coach for personal and professional development could be the ultimate game changer for building a life—and a career—that you’re proud of.
