How do you know when it’s the right time to invest in yourself? Whether you’re thinking about entering into a Master’s program, getting a certification, purchasing an online course, or hiring a coach, you may worry whether it’s really necessary, whether the timing is right, or whether you want to invest for the right reasons.
