“By far the best investment you can make is in yourself.”
- Warren Buffett
When you think of wealthy people like Waren Buffett, you think of their financial wealth like stocks, real estate, and swimming pools filled with gold that they dive into Scrooge McDuck style.
Few people think about how these people acquired their wealth. I’m not talking about the trust fund babies; I am talking about people who started from modest means and built their wealth from scratch.
These people invested in acquiring skills and knowledge that allowed them to earn a great living and control their time.
They invested in their human capital.
Increasing your human capital means learning skills to make more money.
