There is a disconnect between investments of true value and the material.
I was guilty of spending more on material possessions than on my development.
I was more concerned with servicing my car than my mind and body.
Then I invested in my first-ever book on self-development, Awaken the Giant Within by Anthony Robbins, and my life changed.
Just imagine investing in a book that fundamentally changes the way you think, behave and feel.
In my opinion, books are the most wonderful value of all development tools.
As I finished the book, I realised that investing in my personal growth was the best investment I could ever make for myself and my family.
With a mindset that personal growth is of critical importance, I started to find the courses, books and learning that transformed my life.
Over the coming years, I took as many courses as I could afford, and each one taught me something that I still use today - this is a great return on investment you will never find in a bank.
The self-development genius Jim Rohn sums it up beautifully,
“Work harder on yourself than you do on your job. If you work hard on your job, you can make a living. If you work hard on yourself, you can make a fortune."
So whether you pick up a book or take a course, put self-development at the top of your list, because it might prove the best investment you ever make.

What is Andy Ramage Podcast?
A warm, in-person conversation series exploring what happens when you remove alcohol and make space for real life. Each episode invites a guest into the room for an unhurried, human chat that goes far beyond quick tips and surface talk. Together, we dig into identity, purpose, spirituality, resilience, relationships, and the practical habits that help people feel and perform at their best. Expect honest stories, reflective moments, and valuable insights you can apply the same day. It is the original spirit of podcasting brought back to life by two people sitting down, going deep, and seeing what meaningful conversation can awaken.
