What is the best investment you have made in the last 5 years?

Question

Speaking about investments, many people have in mind stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. For me, the best investment is time spent on my projects – the skills I have drilled and the lessons I have learned shift me to the next level. What do you consider the best investment? It can be a course, attending an event or buying a book. Let me know.

Education. I make sure that at all times there is a mentor figure whom I follow and learn from. It's usually super hard to find people who would *really* impact you. But once you found them, the cost of learning from them is negligible compared to the returns you get.

So far, education has been the greatest impact-creator in my life.

Investment in my own startup 🤘💥

Answer

If I talk about investing in myself, then this is, of course, the development of my hard and soft skills and education. If we talk about investments in the literal sense (that is, financial), then I am now mastering the stock market, trading, and trying to invest in gold. By the way, the last option is underestimated by many. If you are interested, you can read this article about the reasons why you should invest in gold. Do any of the users invest in gold?

Rich Watson, you're a real trader guy!
I wish I sold them the same :D but I did everything wrong, not the best timing

Martin Moravek · Answer

@anatoliik Personally, for me, education and time are the most precious values. If you invest your time wisely, especially in education, you can benefit from that all your life. It is like a Perpetuum mobile. Conscious decisions save you the valuable time you can invest in further education.

Education and a walk pad :) With long hours working and not much time to actually go for a walk, getting a pad was a good alternative that is possible to implement while working still. And education, well, this is something to consider always - it develops you personally and professionally, I think.

Martin Moravek · Answer

@anastasiiahere Nice, Walk Pad is a good investment into your health. Also, it is a good way how to spend your time while having a phone call with clients or investors. 😁
