S9E7 - Calculating Your Return on Investment

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

I’m an avid learner. Right now there are about 2 training, 5 books & a handful of experiences I’m just itching to dive into.

But I’ve hesitated pressing GO on all of them because - I want to calculate the return on investment & make sure I’m making wise use of my resources (time, money, energy) before I press GO! So how do we calculate our return on investment?

When training, experiences, or next steps feel risky & we’re worried “will this work out”, how do we decide?

Over the years I’ve developed three questions I ask myself to clarify if I’m making the RIGHT decisions for the RIGHT reasons. I’m sharing them with you on the podcast today.

You are the expert in your body & life. No one else will make the same ‘RIGHT’ decision as you (which makes it even harder to navigate what is right).

These questions are not designed to lead you towards something that’s safe, or predictable. Rather they are designed to illuminate what’s true for you.

In this episode, we’re exploring:

• The 3 questions I use to decide if I’ll see a return on investment
• We discuss conventional investment vs. investing in your values & desires
• When “shoulds” are driving your decisions & what to do about it
• Some of the investments I’ve made lately & how I came to those decisions.
