Most, if not all, successful people will point towards consistent personal development and certain habits that are keys to their success. Do you engage in personal development? Reading or audio books are great sources for inspiration, motivation, creative ideas and sound advice. One book highly recommended is Jeff Olson’s The Slight Edge. This book tells you how to use all the personal development information and explains how small, daily habits make a huge difference. We have included links to various article that give you some habits that successful people engage in on a regular basis. Now, do not get overwhelmed trying to incorporate ALL these things into your daily schedule. Add one or two until it truly becomes a habit then look to add another one or two. It is all about small, daily steps not one huge leap. Also, see our previous blog on personal development for a kick start to your personal development library.
