One of the best pieces of entrepreneurial advice I have received is to build assets.
While you are on your life journey, regardless of what you are doing, cultivate the habit to build assets on a daily basis.
What do I mean by assets: Assets are things you create that can be used, or repurposed, or build other assets. Assets such as blog posts build traffic and brand.
List of Assets
- Savings
- Blog Posts with associated tags.
- Documented principles you live by
- Templates for different kinds of work you do
- Workflows for different kinds of work you do
- Resource lists for things you are learning
- Connections with people who have skills
- Connections with people who inspire you
- Lessons you have learned
If you collect all these assets in an organized and structured way, over time you will put yourself in a position where you can accomplish things in a much faster way than other people. That value will set you apart and bring opportunities that you would not have had without the assets.
