Self-Development and the Road to Successful Growth!!
Welcome back,
Well what a week its been......I was delighted and spell-bound watching Barack Obama become the first African-American President.......What a Day for him and his family and what a Day for that country.........It certainly has come a long way from those Dark days of Slavery and Racial Devide!!
Lets hope Barack settles in comfortably into his new Role and can start to make changes to better the lives of his people!!
Today I want to talk about the term Self-Development!
There is a library of literature out there all too keen to sell you a fast solution to personal growth and entrepreneurial success, don’t believe a word of it, there is not quick route to success. Success is a state of mind as much as a balance sheet, and the route to achieving that success is about self-discovery, and it will take time, but here are a few tips that can help you along the way.
Self-reflection
Achieving personal growth and success is about changing. In order to change, you have to identify what needs changing, and that takes self-examination and reflection. Make a list of those aspects of life that you think are not your most positive side and develop those.
Be efficient
There is only the same number of hours in the day, so how can a President seemingly run a country, but you can’t even get the washing up done? It is all about how you use the time you have. Set yourself realistic and achievable goals and be disciplined in achieving them. As there isn’t a quick route to success you have to accept that personal development and growth is something that you have to work at, so accept that some work is coming your way, and embrace it. Successful development and making dreams a reality should be enjoyable and not tortuous.
Motivation
Try wherever possible to throw yourself into activities that you enjoy, this is not always possible of course in normal jobs, but if you can find a way to be interested in something then you will be a great deal more motivated to succeed.
Assistance
The journey to success does not have to be a lonely one, you can share the journey with others and you can ask others for advice and help. There are personal development books on the market that an better define how you set your goals and the detail that should lie beneath those goals. Many people join personal development group sessions so that they can feed off other people’s motivations and indeed successes. Sometimes you may not realise how successful you are in life and speaking to others about your goals and development aspirations may be the motivation you need to continue to grow.
Don’t stress
Stress is almost always a negative emotion, it pushes up your blood pressure, gives you headaches and is not a positive energy. The people around you can see and feel the stress and they won’t open up to you and communicate helpfully. It is not always easy to avoid stress, but you can manage and minimise it to a degree. Make an effort to take a breather every so often, take a step back and get some fresh air, when you go back at the problem you may have a fresh perspective. Make an effort to smile more; a smile brightens up the people around you and before you know it the whole atmosphere is more positive.

Let 2009 Be Your Year For Success!!
Hi Guys and welcome back.......Happy 2009 to you........I hope you enjoyed your Festivities and are now looking to start those New Years Resolutions!!
Well its the start of a New Year and maybe a New You, so with that in mind lets talk a little bit about how you can make 2009 your year for success!!
We are all looking for a little self-development to help us on the road to being more successful in the workplace and at home managing all our relationships, here you can find ten top tips that may help you.
1. Create your own vision
You cannot set your sights on the horizon if you don’t know which direction to look in. Sit down and carefully lay out your thoughts about where you want to be heading. That will be your vision. Write it down in the form of a mission statement and pin it to the wall so you can always refer to it and check your personal development goals are being met.
2. Keep it simple
Complex plans usually fail. Making plans and concepts simple means that your co-workers and employers and employees will better understand what you are trying to achieve. Through simplifying your communications you will increase the audience’s understanding of the issue and gain greater consensus for a solution. Be wary not to over simplify issues, or ‘dumb them down’.
3. Put trust in people
You people are your greatest asset so trust them. If you give them no responsibility then they will not be committed to the plan, to you or to the organisation. It is a leap of faith and sometimes you will be let down, but overall you will benefit.
4. Stay calm
Stress is rarely a good emotion and learning to take a deep breath and step back to look at situation objectivity is a great skill. People flock to calm leaders in a crisis and shy away from stressful people.
5. Learn your trade
Knowledge is power, and if you want to grow professionally and spiritually, you will gain huge leaps of self-confidence from knowing your business better. Spend one hour a week studying your siill or trade and the results will be clear to see in no time.
6. Take a little risk
Calculated risks gain rewards. If you tow the party line all the time you will never stand out and the average person is not the most successful. So look carefully at the odds and stick your head above the parapet once in a while – and encourage those around you to do it too.
7. Invite criticism
‘Yes men’ are dangerous, they are not usually being honest, and integrity is one of the great keys to success. You will not always be right so it healthy to encourage those around you to feel that they can constructively criticise you or your plans without undermining your confidence or self-esteem. Together, this practice will work towards a better, more successful solution.
9. Encourage ownership
If the big plan always belongs to someone else then they can often feel left out of the glory when it works perfectly, so give away some of the ownership of the problem and encourage people to be responsible for their own actions.
10. Be truthful
Integrity is everything. If those around you know that you will be truthful with them, they will respect you more for it, they will know where they stand and will not feel uneasy confiding in you. Respect breeds a healthy working atmosphere, and in turn, success will follow.
