Entrepreneurs: 4 Things You Should Invest in Today

As an entrepreneur, there is undoubtedly a laundry list of things you feel you need in order to "make it" in your business world. Perhaps a flashy car, or $5,000 suit is on that list. Maybe you've even been convinced that plastic surgery should be on that list in order for you to make it big.  Or, good old liposuction for all the weight you gained as a stressed out startup entrepreneur eating like SHIT.
In reality, there are only a few things young entrepreneurs need to worry about investing in. In fact, none of these things will break the bank - and why should they, when the entire purpose is to help you make bank? Check out these entrepreneur tips and see what you can do to change today.
  1. Sleep. You'll be useless to your clients, your partners, your investors, and most of all yourself if you're walking around dead tired because you stay up late every night agonizing over spreadsheets and social media analytics. Aim for a solid 8 hours every night, and don't be tempered by a weekend sleep in - research shows that sleeping in on the weekend actually makes it harder to get up on time during the work week, no matter how refreshed it might make you feel in the short term. I am 100% guilty of this. Hopefully this post still provides you with some value.
  2. Stress relief. This can come in nearly any form you like it to be. Hiking trips every month? Yoga retreats? A kickboxing class? Meditating in the mornings? Whatever form works for you, find something and use it. Having an outlet for depressurizing your stress value means you're less likely to let loose on your loved ones or those you work with. 
  3. Calendars. Whether you keep it all mobile or rock an old-school Day At A Glance, a calendar is going to keep you on track the key is to not only put in engagements with others but also yourself. Those weekly and daily de-stress sessions? Pencil them in. A 20-minute walk around the city every afternoon? Put it on the books. Hold yourself accountable, and keep things in your calendar.  My particular favorite is a huge dry erase board.
  4. Conferences. The only thing that will rack up some costs. Start by looking in your city and state (which hopefully is Denver, CO).  Conferences will not only give you an incredible networking opportunity, but they'll be the place where you can open your brain up to all kinds of new ideas that you can introduce into your business. Conferences are breeding grounds for ideas, and believe us - you want to be there. Oh, and ask them about volunteering if the tickets are above your budget.
