In my opinion, the majority of people who were successful today started from personal skill or self development, after which before they started investments.

Personally development is also part of investment because you have to invest in yourself because you can talk about going out to invest in a business venture so without investment there will be no true wealth because such wealth even when they come doesn't last because there is no proper understanding of what investment is, so what you should know is that personal development is also part of the investment process

Self development is a type of investment often forgotten and yet is the ingredient to long term success. We can as well acquire wealth in different business engagements or within the financial world, however, without sufficient knowledge on ways to manage and sustain such wealth, we can easily lose everything. Self-development is not simply a process of acquiring desirable skills but also helping the respective individuals to know themselves as well as their relationship with the surrounding world. By concentrating on our self improvement, we are, in actuality, preparing our own self to handle the bigger things ahead of us.

Learning and ability to change is an investment in this always changing world. An example is; as we continue to master more about the industry we are in or the ability to effectively develop our social skills the greater our chances are to take advantage of the evolutional opportunities. Likewise, when we deal with money as a form of investment, unless we can learn to handle and evaluate risks intelligently, the money we have made may not stand the test of time. As such we should understand that we can make the biggest investment in ourselves. In that way, we won t only have material wealth at one-twentieth of our life, but maturity and wisdom in life.
