Personal Development

Personal Development Is Important for your MLM Business

Personal development is an important factor in your life when thinking of building an online business.

Personal development is not going to happen overnight.  It will normally start to happen when your back is against the wall and you start to open up about various things.

Starting in Personal Development

If you are feeling that you are doing so much and getting nowhere then this is where personal development comes into the equasion.  You will find that some people will turn to a psychologist to get help and this can also be very good to give you a lift and believe in yourself that you can and will do something.

The Difference Between ‘I Can do’ and ‘I Will do’  

These two phrases are the most important and yet widely ignored confusions in the personal development field.

You could say ‘I can reach my goals’ – ‘I can give up smoking’ or ‘I can lose weight’ – these phrases are empowering but not modifying anything.  But if you say ‘I will give up smoking’ – ‘I will lose weight’ or ‘I will reach my goals’.  You should now notice the difference.  It’s not the fact that you can do all of those things, but that you are actually going to do them.  The ‘I can’ is going to give you self-confidence and perhaps a motivation boost but the ‘I do’ is giving you the excitement.  The ‘I can’ is just a starting structure but when you reach the ‘I do’ level then this is where all the excitement begins.

There have probably been times when you have visualised your goals and set everything up but then it seems are if they are just getting covered in dust only because you didn’t do anything to move forwards.

The ‘I can’ is going to keep you in your comfort zone but it won’t move you forward in any direction.  Whereas the ‘I do’ is going to get you out of your comfort zone.  There is always a risk of failing if you ‘do’ something but if you don’t ‘do it’ nothing is going to change either.

When you are at the ‘I can’ level you don’t make promises but just saying ‘ok I can do it’ but you won’t commit to anything.  You are just acknowledging some facts.  Whereas at the ‘I will do’ level you need to respect your commitments.  So when doing things means you have to keep your promise to do it, make things happen and stand up for your words.

To finalize ‘I Can Do It’ is just a thought, whereas the ‘I Will Do It’ is an action.  So if you want to change from ‘I Can Do It’ to ‘I Will Do It’ you need to get out of your comfort zone and be prepared to possibly fail, but you just pick yourself up and ‘do it’ again.  Thinking big is good but doing good is even better.  The real master of your life is you, so make those promises to yourself and ‘JUST DO IT’.

A few tips to remember :

  • Learn to ask empowering questions about your life.  These will start to shape up your life.
  • Identify the areas of growth needed and identify those who have already mastered those areas so that you can learn from.
  • Learn to love yourself the same as you would a dear friend.
  • Cultivate your intuition.  You will find it will be priceless.
