Someone told me yesterday that he lost millions in the stock market. Guess what? The stock market peak is not actually money in your pocket–it’s the concept of money he lost. Money invested anywhere holds a risk and everyone seemed to have forgotten that until a few weeks ago.

Now, I’m no financial analyst, but this past year, I’ve been happily investing in my business: in courses, conferences and other professional development–learning more about web 2.0, social networking, seo and other not-so-esoteric information. I’ve been investing in a consultant to help me with my business, people to help me with my website and course development and even a writing coach / editor for a book outside my genre.

How are you investing in yourself?
