Why investing in yourself is the ultimate investment

Think about it: when was the last time you invested in yourself?

20 bucks on a book?
200 in a course?
$2000 on a conference?

On the surface, it sounds frivolous, but it’s actually the best investment you can make.

Personal development is the foundation of success, both in your work and in your personal life.

- Learn new skills
- Unleash your creativity
- Build your network
- Improve your mindset Everything starts with you.

The ROI speaks for itself:

- More confidence
- More opportunities
- More money
- More happiness

The best part? You don’t need to invest much.

Just a little bit, every day.

Start small and watch the benefits pile up.

My business partner doesn’t help. So, what now?

First, it’s time to re-evaluate.

What are they not doing?
What are their strengths?
What are their weaknesses?

Based on the answers, decide to:

A. Get them on board
→ Discuss how their strengths can help
→ Acknowledge their weaknesses and offer solutions

B. Realign expectations
→ Clearly define their roles and responsibilities
→ Set deadlines and make them accountable

C. Step back or part ways
→ Decide the business agreement or compensation
→ Hire help or find a new partner

No solution is easy.

But seeking a resolution will get you out of your rut and back on track.

Remember: Your business depends on it.

Burnout is a rite of passage for entrepreneurs.

“I can do it all” is the mantra entrepreneurs live by.

I used to do it too.

But it’s not sustainable or scalable.

1 key phrase saved my business: “It’s not my problem.”

Yes. You read that right.

I don’t mean to abandon responsibility or be rude.

I mean to delegate and outsource.

You need a team to scale.

You need the time to focus on growth.

Delegating enables you to:

- Work on the things that matter
- Grow, learn, and scale
- Prioritize your energy and mental health

Ask yourself: “What is not my problem?”.

Delegate and reignite your passion for your business.

The 1% rule is about getting better bit by bit every day!

If you make a tiny 1% improvement in your skills, habits, or goals daily, it might not seem like much at first. But over time, all those small changes add up to a big, positive difference.

It`s like saving a little money each day - it might not feel like a lot, but in the end, you`ll see significant growth.

The idea is that consistent small efforts can lead to impressive achievements, showing how dedication and gradual progress really pay off.

Some people think success is a matter of luck.

I disagree.

It’s about growth.

Growth is intentional.

It’s by design, not by chance.

First, you create growth.

Then, you sustain it.

Here’s the formula:

1️⃣ Focus Eliminate distractions.
2️⃣ Plan Plan for progress, not perfection.
3️⃣ Learn Keep learning. Never stop improving.
4️⃣ Act Take the first step. Then the next.
5️⃣ Persevere Keep going.

Don’t stop when it gets tough.

That’s how you create growth.

And that’s how you sustain it.

P.S. What are you doing to grow today?

Advocating for small businesses in DC is something I have been doing for a few years now. I don`t take that responsibility lightly. Please join my newsletter to keep you informed about issues and policies that impact your business. #smallbusiness #advocacy #digitaleconomy

Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy.

But they’re often overlooked in favor of big corporations.

Why advocate for small businesses?

- Local economic growth
- Job creation
- Innovation
- Diverse culture
- Unique products/services

Small businesses struggle the most during tough times.

They don’t have the resources that big corporations do.

That’s why it’s crucial to support them.

By doing so, we’re investing in our communities and strengthening the economy.

So, let’s shop local, talk about small businesses in our networks, and advocate for policies that support small business growth.

It’s a win-win for all of us.

Yesterday, we met with White House leaders to discuss:

✅Access to capital for small businesses
✅ Access to contracts
✅ Access to resources and,
✅ More ways to connect government programs and initiatives to small businesses.

Thank you, USHCC, for the great job you are doing to advocate for small businesses, to open doors for business leaders like me, and for everything else you do for the Latino business community.

Let’s keep working hard to contribute to the growth and development of our economy.

To be successful, you don`t always need to come up with something completely new.

Instead, look at what successful people are doing and follow their example.

Learn from their strategies, habits, and mindset.

By modeling their success, you can save time and avoid unnecessary mistakes.

It`s like following a proven roadmap to reach your goals.

Success leaves clues, so pay attention to what works for others and adapt it to fit your own journey.

Remember, success is not always about reinventing the wheel, but rather about using it to move forward faster.

The myth we’ve been sold is that success is a destination.

But here’s the reality:

Success hits a moving target.

That means the finish line is constantly shifting.

And that’s not a bad thing.

It’s actually healthy.

Because it means we’re always growing, evolving, and improving ourselves and our craft.

So let’s stop chasing a false idea of success.

Instead, focus on the journey.

Ask yourself these questions:

- What motivates me?
- What brings me joy?
- What am I passionate about?

Find the answers and turn them into goals.

Then, create a plan to achieve those goals.

But remember, success is not an endgame.

It’s a journey.

And that journey is the most fulfilling part of the ride.
