Investing in Yourself

I’ve always been a big believer in the fact that the most important investment you can make is the investment in yourself by constantly trying to learn new things.

This year, I will be much more focused on this idea of investing in myself and I’d like to share a few helpful resources that I’ve discovered in order to go about this new goal:
