Improve Your Productivity When You Invest In Your Personal Development

By Gina Grigg

Owning a business can be very challenging for anyone. You may constantly be bombarded with difficult tasks and many of them could be extremely time consuming. This, unfortunately, can lead to feelings of incompetence or inadequacy. The main reason for feeling this way is or having difficulty completing your tasks is you may not be investing enough time in your personal development.

There is a strong correlation between personal development and your own productivity. Most people who have no plan for self-improvement in their lives often find themselves torn between the belief that they can get the job done well or they will not be able to handle all that it involves. In turn, these feelings will lead to low quality results or procrastination.

If you make a list of all the strengths and weaknesses you possess, you can better determine what things need to be improved upon. You should then schedule one hour a day to work on your weaknesses. This daily hour of self-improvement should not be thought upon as time taken away from the business, but instead, thought of as your strategy to improve the business.

Your hours spent on improving yourself can be spent in several ways. For many, taking an online class, listening to tapes, or reading self-improvement books is the most beneficial. However, do not invest any money into these items until you verify they were written, produced, or taught by an expert in the topic itself. As the industry is so large, you can be guaranteed to find the ones you need to improve yourself.

Your productivity will be hindered by any feelings of incompetence or inadequacy you feel. It doesn't matter that you own the business; these feelings can make it more challenging for you. However, investing the time into your personal development will help you to be more productive and earn a higher income.
