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.
P.S. As a DJH reader, you can always start pitching and/or building a portfolio, with our free custom pitch builder
