Instant motivation and powerful momentum is possible when you begin to practice the skills used to attain personal growth.

This is why personal development skills should never be overlooked by anyone who is serious about having success in their business and/or personal life.

As a matter of fact, these skills should take a front seat along side any that are specific to the methods you may be using for working your business.

And while it is true that many people will often take for granted the need for personal development, the one thing that very successful people have in common is their continuing attention to personal growth.

Moreover, the percentage of people in society who diligently practice these skills aligns with the percentage of the most successful people.

No doubt, those who even reach the greatest of heights may falter. But the ones that recover are the ones who have maintained their personal growth, and the ones who do not recover have not continued to utilize and hone these skills.

Everyone is Different

The word ‘personal’ is key, in that each individual will have their own particular approaches, but there are tools which can help and which do overlap in these areas of growth and development.

Countless books have been written, many of which are highly recommended by some of the most successful people. I have started a collection of these on the ‘Reading’ page of this blog (I have more to add soon!).

There are so many other books, audios and videos, conferences, tele-seminars, etc., but the point is, in any of them you may find passages, people and forums that speak best to you, and you will have your own interpretation that may be entirely different from someone else’s.

So if you do not find what you seek in one area, continue to look, for it is ultimately key to your well being and success in life, not only financially but personally. Just take the best and leave the rest. Just considering the ideas and taking them to heart begins to plan the seeds.

Renewed Focus

As my team and I have had many a discussion on the various aspects of personal development, and since it is obviously so important to our success, I have decided that this is an area to which I should give more focus and attention on as part of this blog.

Recently I had written a post “Three Tipping Points Leading to Growth in Your MLM Business“. As it turns out, these tipping points happen to all be related to areas of personal growth.

With the first several videos posted below, each merely an introduction, we move on to using different format on Blogspot Radio at http://InspiringMindsRadio.com.

Be sure to join us there (or listen to the shows which will all be archived later). We have many special guests lined up, many established motivational speakers and authors.

Areas of Personal Growth

Your pursuit of personal growth should include all areas of your life, not just the financial. One part of your life cannot be completely fulfilled unless all areas of your life are receiving your deserved attention. As my good friend Jan Knutson says, “A tire cannot be flat in one spot, if it is flat then it is flat all over.”

True success is reached when you couple your academic or other skills with those that will enable your optimal personal growth.

Whatever your chosen method, the basic areas of personal growth are :

• spiritual (your essence, soul, whatever your religious preference),
• emotional (having a positive mindset),
• mental (examples include any sort of education, as well as mental exercise),
• physical (exercise, sleep, and nutrition), and
• social (inter-personal and communication skills, and giving of yourself)

We intend to introduce each of the above areas, discussing many at length, and providing you with some of the tools that will help you to practice each of the personal development skills. There are many areas to cover, where the 5 bullet items above may each have several topics discussed.
