1. Desire to change and/or improve.

Personal Development from a Coach’s Point of View by Brian L. Thomas
So Personal Development is now a $60 Billion a year industry. Everyone seems to be getting in touch with what and who they really want to be and what they want to get out of this life. Pretty cool! What seems to be the best avenue for achieving that goal? (Goals are definitely a huge part of Personal Development). There are a plethora of Personal Development gurus around the world, all touting that their system is the best, most innovative or most complete. If you are like me, your bookshelf is crammed with "shelf" help books. You know; the books that you buy a swear, "this time I've found it, and I'm going to read it." You never do. Instead you continue your quest for the latest and greatest. I, personally, have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars in search for the "magic pill". What I have found is that it does not exist! What does exist, however, is my desire to better myself from the standpoints of health, wealth, spirituality, relationships, and yes, happiness. Sound familiar?
My experience in the Personal Development field as a coach, trainer and participant has taught me the keys to success in any form. They are:
1. Desire to change and/or improve.
2. Willingness to change and/or improve.

4. Identification (specifically) of the perfect end result.
5. ACTION! (daily)
6. Expect the perfect end result.
Just about any program, book or seminar is going to aid you in this process. Check it out prior to getting started. Do your research on the people offering the information. Most of what you will find in any of the sources for Personal Development (if they are reputable and know what they are doing) is a common theme that will follow the steps outlined above. There are some that are more dynamic and can help you achieve your goals quicker, but I also believe that your personality needs to match that of the program that you are entering.
Sometimes I feel it is necessary to go in a drastic direction. Meaning: you may want to look into "getting out of your box". Find a program that challenges you,What is my job; something that you may not normally do,You can keep moving toward your dream several ways - here are a few. Let me clarify, go with your gut. You must feel comfortable and trust the direction that the program takes you, however, look for the action steps that make you a little nervous because you wouldn't normally take that approach. Change is good! (Always check with professionals first if you are under any type of care for mental, emotional or physical issues)
Recently I have been seeing businesses pop in the Personal Development arena. Network marketing, Multi-Level Marketing, Direct Sales, etc. The companies that I have looked at provide, in my opinion, incredible programs that deliver everything needed to move forward and change or improve your current circumstances AND you have the opportunity to share this with others and increase your income in the process,The Awareness of Metaphysical Laws and Principles Part 3 by Leonard Lee. It's a great concept all the way around! I have a passion for coaching people. I love seeing people achieve their goals and dreams which is why I like this approach. It gives everyone an opportunity to improve their lives, share what they learn and make a profit doing it. Even if you don't want to pursue the business side, you can still reap the benefits of the programs.
Remember, the key ingredient in ANY Personal Development is YOU. Follow your heart and your gut. Go for everything that you desire. Take the next step. YOU ARE WORTH IT!
