Let’s keep it real—running a business requires more than a cute logo and a catchy IG bio. In the latest episode of Behind the Scene w. Teah, I dove into one of the most overlooked but absolutely essential ingredients for success: investing in YOURSELF.
As women entrepreneurs and creative powerhouses, we wear all the hats. We are visionaries, admins, and social media managers. We are even janitors on some days (don’t act like you’ve never cleaned your workspace before a Zoom call ). Here’s the truth: you must take seriously what you’re putting into your business. If you want to go big in business, you need to consider your investment of time, talent, and treasure.
Let’s break it down:
The Big Idea: You Are Your Business’s Greatest Asset
If you’re not willing to invest in YOU, why should anyone else? Carve out sacred time to plan. Sharpen your God-given talents. Finally, pull the trigger on that branding shoot or software subscription. Your business only grows as much as you do.
Key Takeaways from the Episode:
1. Stop Playing Small. Start Planning Big.
Time is a non-renewable resource. Set aside intentional space to plan, map out goals, and recalibrate. Don’t just “wing it”—work it.
2. Your Talents Aren’t Random. They’re Revenue-Ready.
When you lean into what you’re naturally gifted at, your brand starts to shine. Invest in honing those skills. Take the course. Get the coach. Use what you’ve got.
3. Being Stingy With Your Finances? It’s Hurting You.
You can’t cut corners and expect premium results. Whether it’s branding, marketing, or systems, investing in quality saves you time, stress, and money in the long run.
4. The Right Tools Change the Game.
Stop doing everything manually. Use platforms and systems that give you your time back. HoneyBook, Flodesk, Canva Pro, ChatGPT—yes, I said it! Get techy, sis!
5. Growth Is a Process—Not a Purchase.
You don’t have to go all in at once. Start where you are, with what you have, and build over time. Little consistent investments create BIG transformation.
✨ Bonus Tip: Surround Yourself With Big Thinkers
You are who you hang with. Network with other driven, visionary women who push you to invest smarter and grow bigger. The power of proximity is real!
Final Word:
When you invest in yourself, you’re sending a clear message:
“I’m all in.” And once you do that? The clients, the income, the growth—they follow your lead.
So let this be your permission slip to stop playing small. Pour into the version of you that your business actually needs. Your future self (and your bank account) will thank you.
