I resonate with your point, it's very important to invest wisely.. Investing in your people, and in your network helps you to build the required support system. It empowers you to create a safe space to grow and be vulnerable. In my book "The Power of AIM" I also share how investing time, energy and emotions propels you towards fulfilment.
