The Best Investment In 2022!
When you begin an investment portfolio, investment bankers would usually assure you that the average growth is anywhere between 9-12%. Just imagine having an investment portfolio with $100,000 in it. On average, you can expect anywhere from $90,000 to $120,000 in returns. Most people would be sold with this investment pitch and begin an investment portfolio right that second. However, what if I told you there was a better way to invest your money with the ability to gain a greater return. Would you be interested?
Investments are only as good as the economy. If the economy is surging, then overall, investments will surge. If the economy is in a downturn, investments, most likely, will follow suit. So, to sum it up, investments are all contingent upon the condition of something you and I have no control over. However, the alternative investment I am talking about surges and declines on its terms. It inflates and deflates as it chooses. Overall, it operates on its own terms.
YOU ARE THAT INVESTMENT!
You have the potential to grow and gain value every day if you choose. You can choose to surge and become an economic powerhouse, or you can choose to accept a handout from the government. By investing in yourself, you are the economy! You get to set your own rate of return and economic changes. You have the ability to determine your path to success.
Think about this logically for a second. Get an idea of how much money you spend on leisure activity and non-essential items. For the sake of this hypothetical example, I’ll say $500. Instead of allocating that $500 to a new pair of Jordans and clothes, you can choose to invest that money into yourself – more specifically, your future. Why not try a certification course, technical training, a seminar, or conferences? Yes, these items are intangible, but they last for a lifetime!
The greatest investment is yourself. The world’s greatest leaders understood this concept. Instead of investing everything they had into a material thing, they decided to invest it in others so their lives can continue long after they would have left this earth. Let’s look at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. About 52 years ago, Dr. King stood before a large multitude and declared that he had a dream of the end of racial segregation in one of his world-renowned speeches. With that message, he built his entire life’s mission to fight against racial injustice. While pursuing his purpose, he educated and invested in his fellow Americans so that they will continue to fight for this noble cause. Decades later, that speech still echoes through humanity in a continual effort to end racism.

Dr. King invested in his fellow Americans. He understood that material things pass away and lose value over time, but the heart of the person has the capability to increase with wealth and knowledge.
Just as Dr. King saw the invaluable need to invest in others, you should do the same to invest in yourself. Each investment is different because each person is different. However, the investment will produce a much greater return as long as you allow it to work for you.
In a day and age where nothing is secure, you are to emerge as a sense of security for yourself and your family. Security comes when you recognize that you are indispensable. By investing in yourself, especially during 2020, you can secure yourself and those you love by what you know and can offer a company. Dr. Myles Munroe once stated that people only pay you for what you know. If you know the solutions to the problem a company has, they will pay you top dollar to resolve their issue.
I hope by now, you see the direct correlation between investing in yourself and success. The more you invest in yourself, the more you will have greater success. There is still time life in 2020. You can choose how you manage that time. Will you decide to invest in yourself or choose to become obsolete in a few years. The choice is up to you.
