The first business asset you should invest in is yourself.
Being independent is more of a mind state more than anything else. A lot of people don't understand that being an independent artist means being hands on with your career in every aspect - not being afraid to spend your own money and invest time in yourself. Although I'm affiliated with a major label, I still wake up every day with an independent mindset.
Innovation requires resources to invest, and you can see many companies pulling back and going into an intense protective mode in a major extended period of financial distress.
Jobs have already started to surge. Since my election, Ford announced it will abandon its plans to build a new factory in Mexico and will instead invest $700 million in Michigan, creating many, many jobs. FiatChrysler announced it will invest $1 billion in Ohio and Michigan creating 2,000 American jobs.
Always invest for the long term.
Invest in yourself now and reap the dividends day after day after month after year.
I think we're always trying to avoid tropes. And I think that "Game of Thrones" has almost made killing people a cliche. For us, it wasn't about that. For six episodes, it's hard to invest in people, and I think when you kill a main character on television it really needs to mean something. So we certainly had talked about that, and I think we managed to juggle the ball to make a gripping, interesting and compelling finale. We feel that we didn't have to go there at this point because we had such few episodes.
No longer is someone coming to hire you, to invest in your company, to sign you, to pick you. It's on you to make the most important decision in your life: Choose Yourself!
Invest in everything, attach to nothing.
I think that denim is a sexy piece. If I would invest in anything in my closet it would be denim because you can wear it day to night and now it's even acceptable to wear to a business meeting.
Homo sapiens is the species that invents symbols in which to invest passion and authority, then forgets that symbols are inventions.
When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.
There are still people who believe in that and wake up every day believing it's possible, and invest their whole selves in that.
Achievers don't submit to instant gratification; they INVEST in the LONG-TERM payoff
I never invest in anything that I don't understand.
It's upsetting to me that you have to be a millionaire to invest in your friend's start-up.
Learn to have patience with people, just take it one step at a time in everything that you're doing and just invest time in the people that you're with. . . have patience with them, even if they're not necessarily the easiest person to work with.
You shouldn't invest the money if you are looking to use it within five years. Too much risk.
I invite you, wholeheartedly, to read books that remind you of your highest self and emancipate you from mental slavery or false beliefs and illusions. The more you invest in attracting books that resonate with the frequency of your true self, the more light you will bring to the world.
The reason I invest in technology is it's the only work humans do that actually is creative. All other types of economic activity are just moving money from one pool to another, whereas technology is what allows us to create value out of thin air.
