The Ultimate Investment – It’s Not Money

Jul 23, 2025

What is more important than investing in a portfolio or crypto? YOU. You are more important.

I celebrate your being here, reading Wednesdays with Wayne, week after week. Being here is investing in yourself. 

Here’s something that’s exceptionally important to keep in mind. It’s highly unlikely that someone would invest in you if you’re not investing in yourself. You need to show yourself, then show the world, that you’re worth investing in.

People invest their time, energy, funds, and other resources. They can’t choose you if you don’t choose you first. Unless you’re in a damaged “victim-rescuer” relationship, you can’t simply sit by and hope someone sees you.

The challenge here is to do one simple thing that’ll give you a more powerful presence. One simple thing at a time, that is. Once you’re past inertia, momentum builds momentum.

As an example, right now, sit up a little straighter and take a deep, full breath. Really. Give that a try right now. For bonus points, take your face out of neutral, relax your eyes and smile a bit. Sitting up straighter, breathing fully, and smiling just a bit. Those moves have already shifted your psychophysiology. 

All of that was in your control. Something you chose to do.

You have the power to choose to change your mindstate, in an instant.

Better posture, breathing deeply, and smiling allow you to look at the world differently. And the world looks at you differently, too. 

How else might you invest in yourself? Look at the books you are reading, the social media have you stopped doomscrolling through, (yes, getting back your time is investing in yourself), and the foods you are choosing. What groups are you in that will push your thinking to the next level?

There are a lot of ways to invest in yourself. As you continue on through your day today, ask yourself, “Is this an act of investing in myself?” 

You get more of what you focus on. So, what are you focusing on and who are you surrounding yourself with today? 

Pay attention.

Keep making your magic.

See you here next week!
