Set yourself up

Is it going to work out?

Who knows.

But does the you of today have a role to play in it working out?

Absolutely.

So don’t short change your future-self.

Invest in yourself so your future-self is better equipped for success.

Invest in the tools your future-self needs to increase his/her odds of success.

Invest in the network and community your future-self needs to open doors and thrive.

If investing in things feels scary…

…Remember you’re not doing it for today-you. You’re buying a gift to your future-self.

And even if the gift doesn’t work out…

…Future-self thanks you for believing enough in him/her to try.
