Importance of Having a Personal Growth Plan

What is a personal growth plan and why do I need it? Well, are you looking to improve at all? Chances are the answer is yes. You would like to be a better parent, a better spouse, have more goals, and have more success at your job/career, right?

Well, in order to improve in any of these areas you must improve yourself.

I am not the same person I was when I began my health and fitness journey and my new business venture as an online health and fitness coach. In order to do better, I had to become better.

I was sick of doing weight watchers, succeeding then failing then succeeding and continuing that pattern. I was horrible with our finances and in fact had to file bankruptcy. This yoyo of life long struggles had to stop.

I wanted to be a better, mom, spouse, daughter, sister, and friend. I want to be successful in this health and wellness journey I am on. I want to be a successful business woman and I want to pass this down to my family and friends.

In order to achieve all of this, I had to improve. In order to have the next 5 years look drastically different than the last 5, I had to be better.

What did I do to lose 28 lbs., go down 10 sizes, and go from bankruptcy to 6 figure income? I GOT BETTER

But how?

Here are steps I began to take to develop my personal growth plan to help me succeed and get on the right track ONCE AND FOR ALL!

STEP 1, I found a health and fitness routine that I knew I was going to enjoy. No sense in doing something you don’t like.

STEP 2, I began surrounding myself with successful people who were having success in their health and fitness and in business. I studied them, followed them on social media, and began asking them questions and copying what they were doing all while making sure I was staying true to myself.

STEP 3, I began reading books and listening to audio on goal setting, being positive, being successful, time management and more. I would ask myself “what do I struggle with right now? What do I need to work on?” Then I would go find the tool that would help me learn and grow.

STEP 4, I found mentors that were successful and set up weekly accountability calls with these success partners. They became a part of my life and got to know me and how I tick so they could support me best in my journey. This piece may take a while to find the RIGHT people to work with. Kind of like finding a hair dresser or therapist, must be someone you like and connect with.

STEP 5, I implemented and took action in all that I was learning. THIS IS HUGE! Many people come to me and say “Nicole, I do everything you tell me. I read, learn, get on calls” BUT, do you TAKE ACTION? This last piece was and still is key.

I still look to improve DAILY! I must always be looking to get better and so should you!
