There’s a reason it’s said that investing in yourself is the best investment you can make
Newsflash: As your business grows, you need to grow too.
You’re probably thinking, “Well, duh, Amy — that’s obvious.” And I agree, it is. But the thing is, all-too-many entrepreneurs completely neglect their own growth and development as their business grows.
It’s super easy to do, and believe me, I can relate. You’re so focused and invested in making your business the very best it can be, that you forget about the person behind the scenes, in the trenches, doing all the hard work: Yourself.
You, my friend, are the force behind your business’ success. By giving it everything you’ve got (and more), it’s easy to be left feeling a bit drained and uninspired, which is not a great state to be in if you want to continue achieving. So that’s why it’s crucially important to invest in yourself, so you continue to grow right along with your thriving business.
It doesn’t need to be anything major, friend — and as you’ll see, what I do in order to continue growing is very simple. Think about it like a little tune up. Every once in a while, you have to take a pause, check yourself, and take a little time to ensure that you’re running on all cylinders.
Believe me, after listening to this episode, you’ll understand why it’s said that the best investment you can make is in yourself.
Here’s a glance at this episode…
- [04:44] Taking the time to invest in your growth is super important if you want to live up to your potential as a business owner. As your business grows, you need to grow as well.
- [05:52] I keep my hands in the content creation. Challenging myself to create content forces me to stay on my toes and get creative. I grow by constantly pushing myself to make the content better.

- [11:48] Making an investment in my emotional health makes me more capable in business. I speak with a therapist and do EMDR therapy to give myself that extra care.
- [12:38] I'm also a big advocate of reading. I usually focus on business or well-being related books and podcasts.
- [14:00] Grab your notebook or journal and write down three to five things that you think will help you to continue to grow. Make it a goal or challenge to engage in these things.
