This is the 6th in the series, ‘11 Essentials of a Great Life Task.’

 SPECIFICALLY ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

• Why whatever you pay for is different from what you get. You either pay for what is real or a value perceived.
• How do you identify perceived value? Check these three things:
  • Pricing
  • Packaging
  • Promotions

Beyond these, there is the real value, and that is often immeasurable.

1. Mental Investment
2. Physical Investment
3. Spiritual Investment

WHY SHOULD YOU MAKE INVESTMENTS NOW THAT YOU’RE YOUNG?

If youth-hood is a blunder, adulthood becomes a regret. If youth-hood is a lot of investment, manhood would be a lot of enjoyment.

If you invest in yourself while growing up, you get your ROI in old age.

TARA ASKED:

What would you advice a young lady who is so full of ideas, but all she does is lie on her bed saying, “I’m thinking about money,” resulting in laziness, moodiness?

Money is a license to freedom. It frees you to do the work that matters. You don’t get paid for the potentials you have, you are paid for your performance.

TIPS SHARED:

• Do an evaluation for yourself, talents, gifts, abilities, passion and your calling.
• Engage the help of a coach
• Find resources, books, tapes, podcasts, etc. to learn from.
• Find a way of having personal retreats, possibly once in a quarter.

MENTIONED ON THE PODCAST:

• The episode I talked about my personal life evaluation as part of my quarterly review.
• Davidson Amedu (Dr. Talle)
