Invest in yourself. Before you put your money into anything else, before you trust anybody else with your bread, before you believe in anything more than you, choose to believe in yourself. Choose to put the money into yourself before you start sending it off to everyone else. Putting money into the stock market, into the bond market, into real estate, always makes sense. But what makes even more sense is taking all of the paper you’re earning and putting it into yourself. Spend it on classes to learn new skills. Put it into degrees to get accredited to make new moves. Put it into your fashion and your appearance. Put it into yourself first, build yourself up first, and once you get where you need to get to, then you can start diversifying into other arenas. But before you decide to start diversifying your portfolio make sure that you have first went all in on yourself.
