Dear John Looking for some terrific investment advice for the new year? Have I got a hot tip for you! The best investment you can make right now… is to invest in people. People are the largest – often untapped – resource in the world Money can come and go. (We’ve surely found that out this year, haven’t we?) Your finances can change in an instant. But guess what? Your knowledge and skills – and your positive attitude and resilient spirit – stay with you, no matter what happens to your job or the economy. The same is true for your relationships. Nobody can take those away from you. And these together form the platform on which you can rebuild. Your personality, your attitude and your relationships can make or break you financially. This year has been hard on many people. Anxiety and depression are at all-time highs because of the uncertainty and painful situations we have encountered in these unique times. People who have never had a problem with depression are now reporting that they struggle with it. And they’re finding it hard to get out of that cycle. It’s natural to think that the way to combat depression is to find joy. Just work on being happier, no matter what your circumstances and depression will go away. Hard to do, isn’t it? But in reality, the opposite of depression isn’t joy. The opposite of depression is purpose. Finding purpose for your life and your days will help you fight depression. Where do you find purpose? You find it by investing in timeless principles that define life and personal success. My dad dedicated his life to teaching these timeless principles to anyone who wanted to hear. And now I have dedicated my life to the same thing. At Ziglar, we are committed to helping you find purpose and experience success. We created the Performance Planner to give you a way to put Dad’s teachings and trainings, plus new resources that build on all he taught, to work in your life. It is an incredible tool that will help you inject purpose into your days. The best way to have an impact this year, and the best investment you can make, is to live with purpose. So invest in self-care. Invest in your relationships. Live your life on purpose.
