Invest in Yourself Like You Are the Apple Stock in the 90s

Futura Talks

It’s always good to invest in something that we know that will yield a strong return. But what would it be like if we invested in ourselves with that same knowing? This episode picks up from the last one about “Knowing when to walk away to bet on yourself” and “Why having a strong belief in yourself is essential as an entrepreneur”. We routinely spend money on products and services - that are essentially funding someone else's dreams. But when it comes to ourselves, we second guess, over analyze, delay and in some cases don’t believe we are worth it. In this episode, we will chat about why investing in yourself is the most important investment you will ever make. Episode Highlights 02:29 - Why do we need to think of ourselves like the stock market? 04:07 - Why is it so easy for us to invest in others instead of ourselves? 10:30 - How investing in a coach made everything fall into place in my life and business 15:12 - Why I took my savings to fund my dream and start my own business About Farrah: Farrah is driven by her purpose which is to elevate leaders that aspire to be agents of change and innovation. Farrah looks to challenge the status quo, advocate for progress and find ways to level the playing field so that leaders from diverse backgrounds can have a seat at the table and a platform to be seen and heard. Farrah is the Founder & CEO of Futura Funds, which was founded with the purpose to elevate women who aspire to be agents of change and innovation. Women who have bold dreams but often lack the resources, support and access to capital to bring their ideas to life. Our aim is to level the playing field so they have access to the resources and support to not only succeed but to thrive. About Futura Funds: While women start businesses at faster rates than men, less than 2% of female founders hit $1M in revenue and less than 18% ever hit 6 figures. In addition, they receive less than 3% of venture capital funding with less than 1% to minorities (men & women combined). Futura Funds aims to change this by helping female entrepreneurs to: 1) Grow & scale by preparing the company for investment raises and by connecting them to their ideal capital partners 2) Stay ahead of the curve by adopting an innovation mindset to continually unlock new opportunities 3) Overcome challenges and navigate mindset roadblocks they face through individual and group coaching programs Our overall aim is to support founders throughout their entrepreneurial journey by giving them the tools, resources and advice they need to succeed.
