This is what everyone has been waiting for – an investment tip for 2009 that is “guaranteed”! And it is one word – YOU! Amongst all the doom and gloom of the media – which I have stopped listening too – one very positive thing you can do is invest in yourself. Here are some tips! Most of us will invest substantial amounts of money in and on our business, even to the point of upgrading equipment to newer models. Hands up if you have upgraded your computer in the last 3 years? Yet we baulk at spending as little as $20 on ourselves. If you don’t believe that you are the most important asset of your business try running it without you... Networking is Useless! It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who promote networking as the best way of building new business. There are even organizations built on the premise. Yet networking on its own has very little value! Unless of course, you are in the business of building the world’s biggest collection of business cards. However, it is a great start if you have a referral-marketing plan and this is where many people fall down. They have no plan. Yet the very same people would never set out on a holiday trip without having given some thought to where they were going and what they would do when they got there...
