My Best Time and Money Investments This Year
This episode is for the lawyer who wants to continuously improve their life.
I'm sharing with you the top ten time and money investments I've made this year, and there's definitely several in here that are easy tweaks to improve your life a bit. And some that can be transformative.
As I reviewed some of my best investments in both time and money this year, I found some unexpected things.
One is that there's a link between the top 10 investments of time and money this year: they all helped me with my sense of well-being and my productivity.
Second, most of the investments I'll share with you have nothing to do with productivity, but they made me more productive anyway.
Why?
They increased the overall quality of my life, which in turn made me more productive. You'll learn why in this episode.
Third, a few of the investments I mention weren't even on my radar as something that could improve my life, but once I spent the time/money for it, it radically transformed an aspect of my life.
Listen in and choose one -- or all! -- of these investments to improve the quality of your life too.
