The Alcohol-Free Advantage with Andy Ramage8 Jul 2025

Why You Save A Fortune When You Stop Drinking & How To Invest It

There is a disconnect between investments of true value and the material.

I was guilty of spending more on material possessions than on my development.

I was more concerned with servicing my car than my mind and body.

Then I invested in my first-ever book on self-development, Awaken the Giant Within by Anthony Robbins, and my life changed.

Just imagine investing in a book that fundamentally changes the way you think, behave and feel.

In my opinion, books are the most wonderful value of all development tools.

As I finished the book, I realised that investing in my personal growth was the best investment I could ever make for myself and my family.

With a mindset that personal growth is of critical importance, I started to find the courses, books and learning that transformed my life.

Over the coming years, I took as many courses as I could afford, and each one taught me something that I still use today - this is a great return on investment you will never find in a bank.

The self-development genius Jim Rohn sums it up beautifully,

“Work harder on yourself than you do on your job. If you work hard on your job, you can make a living. If you work hard on yourself, you can make a fortune."

So whether you pick up a book or take a course, put self-development at the top of your list, because it might prove the best investment you ever make.
