Recession 101- Your self worth will always be more important then your net worth.

I spent the rest of my commute mulling over these words. How do we learn to measure ourselves? Have you “made it” in life when you have the six figure income, and nice house in the good part of town? Or is there a something more?

In the business world, it can be very easy to put a higher value on concrete measurements such as income, benefits and the title of your job. These are all good important things; however, I think that the less tangible items are what truly compliment our success. I cannot put a price on working with people who I respect and challenge me to grow, nor can I find the worth of giving 100% on a project.

What I love about working in the training industry is the excitement that comes with learning something new. Learning leads to change, change leads to growth, and growth can never be a negative ROI.

My small and humble thought for myself (and you reading) is…how am I judging my worth today? Is it with numbers or my investment to others? What is my worth and how can I make it grow?

I’d love to hear your thoughts! What do you think of the billboard quote? What are ways the we can measure our self worth and invest in it?
