| <p>I’ve been thinking a lot lately about <em>investment</em>, especially as it relates to <del>time</del> <ins><a href="/articles/i-dont-have-time/">priorities</a></ins>. While many definitions exist, I’ve arrived at my own that has proven really useful for me:</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <blockquote> | ||
| <p>A [good] investment is a small, short-term loss I take in order to achieve a large, long-term gain.</p> | ||
| </blockquote> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>In evaluating what’s important to me at any given moment, I ask myself what kind of investment I'd be making, if any. I ask questions about investments a lot when I’m coaching and mentoring. For agency owners, I often ask if they’re willing to take the short-term loss of doing thankless but lucrative work—banner ads and site maintenance come to mind—for the long-term gain of funding more desirable work that doesn’t pay as well. When I’m mentoring senior designers, I often ask if they’re willing to take the short-term loss of feeling like a beginner again for the long-term gain of being more proficient in code.</p> | ||
|
|
||
| <p>Thinking about what investments I’m making has been a useful framework to help me make decisions, and I share it in hopes it can do the same for you.</p> | ||
