Here’s $100K… How Are You Going to Use It?
Imagine that you wake up and see that you were anonymously Venmo’d $100,000. But there’s a catch.
You can’t spend it on a car, a house, or a vacation. You can only invest it in yourself.
Where would it go?
Would you put it toward an MBA? Hire a coach? Build up your personal brand? Attend high-level networking events? Learn a high-impact skill?
Some of the best self-investments don’t require six figures—but the cost of NOT making them is often far greater.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
We often focus on ROI—but what about the COI (Cost of Inaction)?
Here’s what happens when you don’t invest in yourself:
🚨 You stall out in your career while others accelerate past you.
🚨 You miss out on life-changing opportunities because you weren’t prepared for them.
🚨 You feel stuck, exhausted, or unfulfilled - watching the years pass while you stay in the same place.
In an uncertain world where industries shift overnight, and AI is reshaping the workforce, waiting until you “need” to adapt is already too late. The time to invest in yourself is before you wish you had.
Five Investments with Exponential ROI
💡 1. Expanding Your Network (The Social ROI Investment)
Opportunities don’t come from job boards. They come from who you know and who knows you.
High-level networking leads to referrals, partnerships, and unexpected career jumps.
Who’s one person you can connect with this week that could shift your trajectory?
💡 2. Leadership Coaching & Personal Development (The Acceleration ROI)
Why do top executives, athletes, and entrepreneurs hire coaches? Because they know stagnation is the enemy of success.
The cost of NOT having outside perspective? Years lost spinning your wheels.
What’s the one leadership skill that, if improved, would have the biggest impact on your career?
💡 3. Time Mastery & Energy Management (The Hidden ROI Multiplier)
You don’t need more time—you need better use of it.
High performers don’t work more hours; they make their hours work harder for them.
Identify one habit you can cut or improve to free up high-value time.
💡 4. Learning Unconventional Skills (The Future-Proof ROI)
Soft skills are the new hard skills. Adaptability, communication, and emotional intelligence will outlast automation.
Investing in storytelling, negotiation, and decision-making will future-proof your leadership impact.
What’s a skill outside your industry that could give you an edge?
💡 5. Strategic Risk-Taking (The Exponential ROI)
Big rewards don’t come from playing it safe.
Whether it’s stepping into a stretch role, launching a side project, or getting visible in your industry - the people who take small, calculated risks consistently win bigger in the long run.
What’s one option you’ve been avoiding that you KNOW could be a game-changer?
The Real ROI: More Than Just Dollars
People often ask, “What’s the ROI of coaching?” Studies show executive coaching delivers an 8x return on investment. But I aim for much more than that with my clients.
Because ROI isn’t just about money. It’s about:
✅ Waking up excited for your work instead of dreading Mondays.
✅ Having the freedom to make choices instead of feeling stuck.
✅ Being the kind of leader who thrives— no matter what the economy or job market throws your way.
That’s what real ROI looks like.
