    Episode 241- Investing Your Time Wisely: The ROI of Relationships
    Jun 27 2025
    Hey everyone, this is Alvin Brown, and welcome to another strategy episode of Personal Mastery Training. Today, I’m sharing a powerful idea straight from the coaching room—something I believe can shift how you manage your time, energy, and relationships. If time really is our most valuable asset, then how we invest it matters more than ever. Let’s talk about time, ROI, and what it really means to build a life with intention. 🔑 Key Highlights:
    • Why “time is money” is more than a cliché—it’s a masterful mindset
    • How to measure the ROI of your time in relationships and life activities
    • The difference between spending time (consumption) vs. investing time (growth)
    • How to treat your time like a financial portfolio—diversify, reinvest, and divest when needed
    • Relationship audit: identifying non-performing emotional investments
    • The compounding effect of small, intentional time choices
    • The strategy to elevate your life with presence, intention, and alignment
    Treat your time like money—invest it wisely. Make deposits where you’ll see emotional, relational, or spiritual return. Audit your energy regularly. Reinvest where there’s growth. And don’t be afraid to divest from what drains you. Mastery isn’t about doing more—it’s about choosing better. Time is your most precious, non-renewable resource. So take a moment this week and ask yourself: Am I spending this time... or investing it? If this episode resonated, share it with someone who needs it. Let’s build this community and grow together. Peace and love, and I’ll see you in the next one.
