Effectiveness Tip of the Week via email from FranklinCovey.com

Me, Inc. A wise investment.

Up and down, up and down. Does your life seem like a volatile stock market these days? Some weeks you are on an upward climb, full of energy and ambition, while other weeks you spiral into a dive waiting for that inevitable crash. Pssst...Want some "insider" advice? Invest in yourself! Consider this analysis:

• Personal Portoflio: Your personal investments are divided into four areas: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual.
• Weekly Investing: Choose a weekly goal for each area and record them in your planning system. Examples: Exercise three times a week (physical). Call a long-lost friend (social/emotional). Write in a journal (mental). Meditate or pray (spiritual). Be sure to schedule an appointment with yourself for each goal.
  Return on Investment: You'll be an IPO (Incredible Personal Offering!) at home, work, or in other relationships. It's a trade you'll be glad you made!
