The ROI You Can’t See (But Can’t Afford to Ignore)
In the past couple of days, I’ve been recording a ton of module content ready for Divine Alchemy.
We are ready for launch soon.
And I’m more excited than ever.
Hurdles have come, and I’ve tripped, but with all my newfound knowledge, I am super excited to launch in the near future.
With that being said, after you saw todays headline I bet you thought: “Shawn, has he turned to investing?”
Well, I might invest, but this isn’t about S&P 500 or Index Funds.
When most people think about ROI (return on investment), their minds go straight to numbers.
Good old mathematics.
They think stocks, real estate, business deals
But there is one ROI that doesn’t get talked about enough.
The ROI of self-mastery.
Let’s dissect:
You are the foundation of everything you build. Your relationships, your career, your health, everything. And if that foundation is shaky, no amount of money or external success will ever fix it (believe me).
When you invest in self-mastery; this includes your mindset, your habits, your emotional intelligence, you don’t just grow internally. You see the ripple effects everywhere:
• In business: You make better decisions, negotiate with confidence, and build partnerships based on trust.
• In relationships: You communicate clearly, set healthy boundaries, and attract people who align with your values.
• In your personal life: You show up consistently, handle stress with grace, and align your actions with your goals.
And unlike material things (hmmm… maybe not watches), this kind of ROI doesn’t depreciate.
It compounds.
And no, it’s not about reading 100 self-help books or meditating for 6 hours a day. Forget the guru advice you see splashed all over podcasts.
Brick by brick it’s about building habits that strengthen your foundation over time.
And I hope by now, I have drilled plenty of these into you.
But here’s three ways to get started:
Master Your Mindset
Your beliefs shape your reality.
If you believe you’re not good enough, it’ll show in your actions.
You know what to do with this information.
Level Up Your Emotional Intelligence
People think intelligence is about IQ.
It’s not.
In business and relationships, emotional intelligence – understanding and managing emotions – is what separates amateurs from professionals.
Get Comfortable With Discomfort
Growth lives outside your comfort zone. I will keep saying this because people still hide in it.
When you avoid discomfort, you stay stagnant.
Again, you know what to do…
Self-mastery isn’t sexy, flashy, or easy.
But this invisible investment is what creates visible results.
The more you grow internally, the more your external world expands to match.
The most important asset in your life isn’t a stock portfolio or a business venture. These can collapse at any moment.
It’s you.
So, ask yourself:
“How can I invest in myself today?”
Much love,
Shawn “Sheshn” Heshmatpour
