The Best Investment Idea

[Seth Mosley]

As I was thinking about my New Years Resolutions this year, to buy more properties, to maximize the returns on my existing investments, etc etc..one idea rose to the top, as probably the best investment idea I could ever have, that will yield the most lasting and substantial returns out of any.

And that is...

Family.

Sure, I want to be successful in business and in REI, but not at the expense of me being not present for my family. Me and my wife just had our first baby about 4 months ago, and if I learned anything from growing up, not in a super wealthy home, but a comfortable one, it was that I would have always rather had more quality "dad-time" than money, or toys, a nice house, or whatever else. There is definetely a vast difference between being there in person, and being present. Just because you're there, doesn't mean you're invested.

It's hard, finding balance between work and family, I admit. And I'm not great at it, especially in this field where the hours are not exactly normal. :) But I'm learning.

And my resolution is to be better at it this year than I was last year. I want my investment to be in quality time with my wife and daughter. The returns will far outweigh the investment...

Hope you will join me!
