When you invest in yourself - the world invests in you
| Today I was fortunate to attend a seminar with Dr John Demartini. Dr Demartini is one of my favourite authors and speakers. Over Christmas I completed his Secrets to Financial Success and put his theories into place. The results have been phenomenal both personally and professionally for me. One of the things I was reminded at today's seminar was that everyone has a passion and purpose - something that they are brilliant at doing. Unless you are doing your purpose things will be clunky and difficult. Dr Demartini suggested every few months to stop and look at what you are doing. Review what tasks you are doing that are not towards your purpose and then work out how you can delegate those tasks to someone else to free you up to focus on your purpose. The corollary to that is you should only hire people to your company to do these tasks whose passion is doing the roles you are looking to fill. If their passion and their purpose is not your role, then you will be stuck having to constantly motivate your employee. Over the years I have seen this with so many employees. Some people are natural personal assistants/ pharmacists/ economists etc. When they are in the role doing what they love their eyes sparkle and they are full of energy. Take them away from what they love and they flounder. Hire for passion, build the skill. All of this comes from investing in yourself ... in your own growth and development ... in investing in your own self esteem and learning that you are bigger than you previously thought you were. When you invest in yourself, the world invests in you. It was with much gratitude that today I told Dr Demartini the difference he had made in my life from his work. His take on it was to remind me that I was the one who had put his thoughts into practice ... I had invested in myself and had great results back. So ... where have you invested in yourself lately?

Totally agree with the notion being on a continual quest for increasing knowledge and understanding (including of myself - often a scary thing!). Sometimes a piece of information comes by and we don't pick up on it at the time but if it comes by again later we do because we were more ready to hear, see or experience it.
I agree. Sometimes you were just not ready to hear the information the first time or the second time around you hear something that gives you a deeper understanding of the info.
Great post, Ingrid. I agree with you.
