What is “Return on Investment (ROI)”?

“Wise are those who learn that the bottom line doesn’t always have to be the top priority.” — William A. Ward, aphorist

Key Points:

  • Return on Investment (ROI) is the value created from an investment of time or resources.
  • ROI can help you make decisions between competing alternatives by asking yourself the question: what brings a bigger ROI?
  • The return on every investment is always directly related to how much the investment costs. The more you spend, the lower your return.
  • Every future ROI is a semieducated guess. Nothing is a sure bet, you can only know your exact ROI after your investment is made.

Questions for Consideration:

  • How can you calculate the return you’re currently getting on each of your investments?
  • How can you improve that return?
