When we talk about investing or investments, many people think about businesses, land, property, time and resources, among others. But actual sense investing starts with you as an individual. And then if you are a business owner, entrepreneur or organisational leader, it’s also about investing in your team? The people that work with you? (Note I said the people that work with you and not for you.)
But what does it mean to invest? According to the dictionary, “When you invest, you put time or money into something, hoping there will be returns greater than what was originally put in. You can invest your hopes or emotions in a person... The money, time, or hope is called the investment. Investing can also mean to endow with power or quality.”
