Your idea is fantastic! 1 month of implementation...never thought about that. I continue to be absorbing new ideas and implementing at the same time, and find that it's tough to implement (too many ideas!!). Maybe I should allocate a certain period to JUST implement. Thanks Nigel :) I use the phrases self help and personal development interchangeably, although I know there are subtle differences.

Sometimes I think I should stop, otherwise I might be bogged down by the ideas and not take any powerful actions. It's all about balancing the knowledge and application of knowledge. I'm still learning... I’ve bought tons of books and quite some courses too! Sometimes I think I should stop, otherwise I might be bogged down by the ideas and not take any powerful actions.

The stuff you did only got you to where you are today, what you do from now onwards will determine your future, financially or personally.

That’s it in a nutshell. I buy more books and courses now as I know there is a return further down the road.

It’s all about investing for the future.

It's like fixing our direction. I make it a point to read at least one book on self help, one on business and one on personal development every 1-2 months, and then the next 1 month will be about implementation. Reading and talking is great, and with follow up, we experience the lessons from books and people into workable and invaluable life lessons, be it in finances, relationships or business. Also, I make it a point to go to at least one paid seminar per year on selling or marketing or systematizing to re-focus too. :) You’re right, our mind is our greatest leverage to learning, and reading and speaking to people are two of the greatest things any one can do to up their quality of thinking and hence changing the way they will live their lives in the long run.

An important thing I've learned in making oneself successful, is to never stop learning. Do not be complacent in what you already know. There are billions and billions more that are waiting for you to unfold. A witty and humorous article. An important thing I’ve learned in making oneself successful, is to never stop learning.
