When running your business, there is one asset that is more precious than all the others.   You.   If your body, mind, and spirit are not healthy, who cares how much money you make? If your relationships are in trouble, then success in the eyes of others feels hollow.   As a society we need a new approach to self-care, one that is not just a bandaid over a deeper neglect of what truly matters in life.   This episode introduces you to a new, more holistic approach to wellness that we call self-investing.   Like the compounding interest of financial investing, self-investing helps you build resilience and health for the long term. It shifts your thinking towards your own health being non-negotiable. Self-investing is your internal wealth strategy.   You will also discover: How to tend your inner fire, so you have a sustainable source of energy with which to light your next Lantern. How to know if you’re actually self-investing versus papering over an unhealthy situation, so you can take steps to build the life you envision. How to make self-investing a habit and create your own self-investing plan.
