Cindy and Jess - The Low Down On Our Investments

“Every investment I've made in my business has been a learning experience, even if it didn't bring the desired results. I see these investments as opportunities for growth and improvement.” - Cindy Wagman

In this episode, we're diving into how our investments in our businesses have evolved over the years—and the life-changing lessons we've learned along the way. Early on, we were hungry for any and all business advice we could get. We took all the courses, joined all the programs, and tried to model what the "experts" were teaching. But here's the truth: most of that just didn't align with our nonprofit audience or values. We learned that there are no shortcuts to finding what works for your unique business. These days, we invest in the things that really move the needle:

• Bringing on support so we can work less and earn more. We've hired contractors, built out our teams, and worked with coaches who get our sector.  
• Referrals from our network. Finding service providers recommended by people we know and trust.  
• Invest in the relationships and communities that truly understand you. These are the investments that pay off the most.
• Rest. This year, we both took extended breaks to renew our creativity. Coming back with fresh eyes is the best investment you can make.  

The bottom line? Don't be afraid to invest in yourself and your business. But make sure those investments align with where you are now and where you want to go. Find your people, focus on what lights you up, and don't be afraid to challenge the status quo.
