When you are planning your success you have to create a plan for personal growth. Personal growth is the foundation of your personal success.
The greatest secret of success is that it is not a secret. Anyone who has ever succeeded has written a book or produced a CD talking about how they reached their success. The problem is that most individuals never take the time to read how people in their desired industry became a success.
I may be preaching to the choir a little bit but do you have a plan for personal growth? You make plans for eating when you want to lose weight and career plans when you want to earn more money but at the root of all success is a healthy well-informed mind. Yet, so few people ever create a plan that will enable them to have the knowledge that they need to acquire the success that they seek.
If you only read for 30 minutes a day in the area of personal development or in the area of your business industry in five years you would have more than 1,000 hours of study, which is equal to a doctorates degree. You could read while you were in line, waiting in traffic, waiting on someone who arrives late (anytime I am meeting my girlfriend I always have a book with me because 90% of the time I know that I will be waiting at least 15 minutes) or during any other situation that may present itself.
In short nothing is going to change in your life until it changes in your mind. And the only way that your mind is going to change is through the gathering of information. If you make changes in the world within you will experience lasting changes in the world without.
