Invest


To reap a healthy harvest for your life and career, you want to invest in yourself.

- Buy lunch for a person you want to learn from, to build connections in a career field

- Invest your time in a course on Google Ads so you can build your skills portfolio

- Send your first pitch to a company so you can build confidence and momentum

These investments of money, time, attention, and energy may not see immediate payoff. But over time, your ROI will be high.
