Our Biggest Asset....

There is so much "noise" going on right now with the economy, job losses, a new "stimulus" package, tax cuts,retirement accounts moving in the wrong direction (including mine!), housing troubles, etc......

Wow! If we get caught up in all the "noise", it would be very easy to become depressed and have a completely negative outlook on life as a whole. So what we MUST do is shrink our "universe" down to our biggest asset which is us! You are your biggest asset to make changes in your life, to help resolve issues you are going through, to find a job, to make money, to build a better relationship with a loved one, and the list can go on and on. Plus you can't control the stock market, the government, what happens to your home price, the price of oil, etc....but you can and must control you! Too many people rely on others (where they work, their families, their church, the government) to support them, or to tell them what to do next. This type of thinking shrinks one's own ability for "free thinking". If we allow others to think for us and make decisions for us we are not growing our biggest asset, we are actually shrinking that asset, and making it a liability!

What are you doing today to grow your biggest asset? There are three uses of your time. You can invest your time, spend your time, or waste your time. When you invest your time you are growing your biggest asset. Focus on ways to invest your time! How? You can:
  1. Read a book
  2. Spend quality time with a loved one
  3. Find your true calling in life and begin the proper steps to find a new career or job
  4. Work on your resume
  5. Network to find other avenues of business
  6. Go to the gym and get a workout in
  7. Pick up the phone and make that call you have been wanting to make
  8. Take some quiet time to gather your thoughts
  9. Take the first step in making a situation better

The list could go on and on as well, but by investing your time you are growing your biggest asset....YOU!

Take time this week to do at least three things that will truly help you grow your biggest asset!

Good Luck!
