Welcome Back…When you invest in yourself, you’ll become a better business owner. You’ll be better equipped to maximize your potential both in mastering your small business finances as well as your personal growth. I often hear business owners raise the concern about thinking that investing in themselves is not worth it, and they don’t see how it could impact the bottom line of their business. Many business owners don’t quite see the benefit, so I want to start off with a quick story that illustrates how beneficial it can be to a business owner.


I want to tell you about a client who runs a small marketing agency. They are talented, but their business had plateaued. They were stuck in a cycle of long working hours, struggling to retain clients, and not seeing the growth they envisioned. They decided to start investing in themselves. They attended a leadership workshop and started working with me as their certified life coach to improve their leadership skills and work-life balance. Over time, they became a better leader, communicated more effectively with their team, and had more time for personal growth. This shift had a significant impact on their business. Their clients noticed the positive changes, and their agency started attracting new clients. The agency experienced remarkable growth, and the income was steadily increasing.


This example illustrates the power of investing in yourself as a business owner. When you grow as an individual, your business benefits and is up-leveled as well. So, how can you make this kind of transformation happen in your life? First, let’s talk about personal development. You can consider reading books, attending seminars, or taking online courses that expand your knowledge and skills. Learning about time management, effective communication, or negotiation skills can significantly benefit your business. These are all skills I work with my clients on, and I’ve also created quite a few courses to help my listeners increase these skills as well. I have courses you can take to help you learn how to do your own bookkeeping, how to elevate your bookkeeping business, as well as how to start, grow, and scale your business.


Next, let’s talk about taking care of your health and well-being. Business owners often neglect their physical and mental health due to their busy schedules. But, when you invest in your health through exercise, a balanced diet, and relaxation such as meditation, it can lead to increased energy and focus, which makes you a more effective leader.


Building a solid network and seeking mentorship is another essential aspect of self-investment. Being part of a network can open doors to new opportunities, collaborations, and invaluable advice from experienced professionals. When you work with a mentor, strategist, and certified life coach like me, you are able to learn from someone who has walked the path you are on, and it can be incredibly beneficial.


Work-life balance is a challenge I see many of my clients and business owners face. It’s crucial to invest time in yourself outside of your work. Spending quality time with your family and friends, as well as pursuing personal interests, not only rejuvenates you but also provides new perspectives that can be applied to your business.


Another vital aspect of self-investment is the willingness to embrace change and adapt to new circumstances. The business world is dynamic, and those who invest in learning and adapting to new technologies, market trends, and customer preferences will definitely stay ahead of the game. Being resilient is a skill you can learn as you grow your business, and doing this work will allow you to see the impact it has on your overall business performance.


An example of adapting and embracing change is when you think about technology. Many business owners resist the ability to adopt new technologies. When you invest in learning these new skills by taking courses or learning more about technology that is emerging in your industry, you’ll be able to provide innovative solutions to your clients, which could lead to increased demand for your services and a substantial revenue boost. Another way to look at technology is when you decide to utilize a computerized software system for your bookkeeping and financial reporting. When you do this, often the business owners I work with find they have more time to focus on other areas in their business, and they are able to create the financial reports they need to make sound business decisions. There will likely be a short time when you are learning the software that causes you to spend more time in this area, but my clients are much happier in the long run with the abilities they have to be able to stay on top of their bookkeeping.


Lastly, I want to stress the importance of financial literacy. When you invest in understanding your business’s financial health, budgeting, and forecasting, you’ll have a clear grasp of your finances, which will help you make informed decisions and lead your business to continue to have sustainable growth.


Taking into consideration all the ways you can invest in yourself to be a better business owner, you can then set clear and achievable goals. Take the time to invest in defining your business objectives and personal aspirations. Make sure you are setting specific, measurable, and timely goals so that you can create a roadmap for your self-improvement journey. Remember, investing in yourself is an investment in your business as well. By focusing on your personal development, health, networking, work-life balance, resiliency, financial literacy, and goal setting, you can become a better business owner and lead your company to new heights. Keep investing in yourself and watch your business thrive. You are the key to your business’s success.
