While visiting the founder and owner of ClickFunnels, Russel Brunson in Boise, Idaho, I participated in a Mastermind which I paid for to attend. If you're not investing in yourself, which tends to require sacrifice, you will experience contraction instead of expansion. If you don't use it, you lose it. Did you invest the TIME? Investments are not about how much money is spent, but the QUALITY in the time spent. If you are not investing in your own coaches and ask someone to invest in you, how do you expect to invest in others? So why don't you travel out of your comfort zone and go somewhere different? There's no place like home, but you must be willing to explore and travel elsewhere in order to grow and expand your perspective. I LOVE hanging out with people that have a greater capacity than I do, showing me through example how it looks to make daily investments in one's self.  Get out and meet more people.
