KEY TAKEAWAYS
Invest in Education: Attending seminars, courses, and events may come with a financial cost, but the knowledge and skills gained often far outweigh the initial investment.
Opportunity Cost: Every decision has an opportunity cost associated with it. Consider what you could be doing instead of your current activities and evaluate if the potential outcome is greater.
Value Your Time: Recognise the value of your time and expertise. Don't hesitate to let go of low-value tasks or difficult clients to make room for more fulfilling opportunities.
Continuous Learning: Embrace continuous learning and growth. Education and mentorship may seem expensive, but the cost of ignorance and missed opportunities can be much higher.
Share Knowledge: Be open to sharing your knowledge and learning from others. Collaboration and exchanging ideas can lead to mutual growth and success.
