$10,000?

I was posed an interesting question this week: If you had $10,000 to spend on your career, how would you spend it?

This question is interesting, but this question led me to an even more interesting question:  Why am I not working night-and-day to earn $10,000 to do all the things I think I should be doing for my career?

I'll start with the first question.  (And my answers aren't for everyone, just for me.)
Here's how I would spend the $10,000:

•New Headshots, including reproductions - $1400
•Better VO demo - $1200
•Classes with Casting directors  - $4000  (This is probably the BEST way to spend investment money.)
•A trainer to get me in shape for pilot season - $2000  (Oof - I hate this, but it's smart.)
•Great audition clothes, and a great haircut - $600
•Excellent holiday gifts for agent/manager - $200
•Mailings, supplies, miscellaneous - $600

Now, I don't have an extra $10,000 to spend, but is it irresponsible to me and my career to not dedicate myself to making an extra $10,000 to invest in my career?  Do I think that a $10,000 investment is wise?

Here's what I came up with:  I think I do need to invest more money than I do in my career if I want the momentum to pick up.  Therefore, I do need to make more money.

I've always felt that it is inadequate to invest money when-you-have-it in your career.  That just means you never invest.  I'm a big fan of committing to a yearly budget-knowing what you are willing to spend, and how you're willing to spend it.

But the fact remains: if your career isn't moving fast enough, you have to invest more to get it going.

Personally, I don't think I need to add $10,000 a year to my budget, but maybe $3,000.  Now... where do I get that money?

Do you need to be investing more?  How would you spend it?
