“Ultimately, there’s one investment that supersedes all others: Invest in your self.” Warren Buffett

Everyone, I’m back with this weeks which is “Ultimately, there’s one investment that supersedes all others: invest in yourself: Warren Buffett Now, you might’ve heard Ben Franklin’s version of this which is “if you pour your wallet in your head, no one can steal from you. It’s the same concept, it’s the same idea.

Is that you invest in yourself books, seminars, lectures, um training, like whatever it is in your field or in the field that you want to go into. Investing yourself will pay huge dividends, and it shows all things that a person can do and in the efforts they make or take to improve themselves.

Right now, I am reading a book called the Slight Edge talks about incremental improvements over time. How they’re not flashy … they’re not amazing … movies always, you know do these you know little montages that represent the passage of time … putting in the work. And that’s really the thing … when you and I put in the work, we’ll get results. It’s never the next day. It’s never the next week, i shouldn’t say never … not always the next week.

However, when we invest in ourselves, when we put in the time and energy to improve. We will get to see those improvements we will reap the rewards from that work. Whether you’re going to the gym, whether you’re running, whether you’re reading books to level up your leadership or your business skills.

There’s all sorts of different ways that you can invest in yourself. Health is another one … diet and exercise … being willing to consult a professional and take their advice and follow what they instruct. There are so many ways that you can invest in yourself, if you’re not already reading, if you’re not already listening, if you’re not already associating with amazing people. Than pick one and take the next step.

If you’re looking for a book recommendation go the website, there’s a book on there … a Top 10 and there’s a broken out list because it’s getting to long for one page. It is something to see … check it out. This is Iron Wil, go out and make a great day. Make it a great week. Talk to you later.

In this picture, …

you see my feet hanging through my ceiling. I was attempting to do work at my house without a friend to help me. I have found that when I try to do work on my house or my car without a friend, I end up in trouble. In 2014, I found myself in trouble at work. I was put on a 90-day personal improvement plan. The circumstances are not important right now; however, it was a big challenge to my job at the time.

During the year of 2014, I would wake up with nightmares of my boss coming to my home at 7 AM and firing me before I could go to work. Still to this day, I can clearly see his car at the time, and him walking up the sidewalk to that house. What happened after I was written up, is that an upper-level manager pulled me aside and offered to coach me.

I was invited to speak at one of my son’s school for career day. I was surprised when my son asked me. He said, “Dad, maybe one of the kids or teachers will hear what you have to say, and they will want to do what you are doing. It has helped you and our family so much!”

 

I was humbled by his request and started thinking of how I can teach what I do to a classroom of 10-year-old kids. I had about one and a half months to think about it before I would be speaking. Little did I know that I would get the privilege of speaking before 8 classrooms for about 15 to 20 minutes each.

 

I decided to use a kid’s film that many of them had probably seen … Kung Fu Panda. I love these films and believe that they teach some important lessons about life.

 

First, who is Po’s dad? What does Po’s dad do?

 

He’s a goose and he owns a restaurant where he makes soup, dumplings, stinky tofu, and noodles.

 

What does Po dream about in the beginning of the movie?

 

Poe wakes up from his dream and he’s dreaming about one thing. He spends all day thinking about that one thing. That one thing is not cooking, but Kung Fu!! We learn that Po wants to be a Kung Fu Master one day! However, Po doesn’t believe that he can become a Kung Fu Master because he isn’t like the Furious Five.

 

As the movie unfolds, we learn that Master Oogway is going to pick the Dragon Warrior. This is a huge event that many in the valley have been anticipating. When Po learns of this, he encourages everyone to go to the Jade Palace (the center of town and where some learn Kung Fu).

 

Po then goes to the Jade Palace to see who is going to be the Dragon Warrior. As he attempts to see who it will be, he ends up lighting a chair packed with fireworks. It launches in the air and dissolves before landing Po in the middle of the courtyard of the palace.

 

He opens his eyes to Master Oogway pointing at him. He asks if he was pointing to Tigress and he said, “No, I am pointing to you”.
