24 SELF DEVELOPMENT TIPS

  • Make friends with successful people and occasionally buy them gifts and surprise them with lunch because successful people always give and hardly get, so when you give them, they value the gift a lot.

  • Get a mentor and follow his instructions and respect the relationship. Never beg your mentor for money or disrespect his or her privacy.

  • Make new positive friends as often as possible and ensure you keep the communication line open. Create a network of friends and not just connections.

  • Show kindness to everyone. Some small boys today will be big boys tomorrow. The biggest dog in the neighbourhood was once a puppy. Keep the information/secret to yourself.

  • Always plan ahead and be proactive. He that plans the future works less in the future.

  • Listen to speeches and messages from great teachers, both religious and educational.

  • Attend seminars and trainings on any area you need to improve yourself - Train the trainer, personal development, public speaking, sales etc.

  • Have the habit of keeping a pen and a writing pad handy because ideas come in the form of flashes. The smallest pen is bigger and better than the biggest brain.

  • Make sure at every point in time you are reading a book. If you spend 20 minutes reading daily, for 52 weeks you would have consumed 1,000,000 words.

  • Stay away from television as much as possible. You can watch educational channels. Men with big TV sit in front of them to watch men with big libraries.

  • Put control over your mouth; never say evil of any man; what you are not certain of should not be said. Say good of all men.

  • Always show appreciation for any good deed you received.

  • Always help someone in need.

  • Live a debt free life. What you can’t pay cash for is not your size.

  • Give out loans that you can part with as gift, so that you don’t destroy your business and relationship.

  • Create legitimate multiple sources of income.

  • Save at least 10 percent of your income.

  • Invest a portion of your income, and be patient to see it grow. If what you have in your hands is not good to be called a harvest then it’s a seed; sow it.

  • Keep a good financial record of all income and expenses, so you won’t ask later “where did my money go”

  • Be involved in community service- Control traffic, free lesson class for students etc.

  • Keep getting better on your daily goals and dream, develop yourself on them and make sure you get to the top 10 % of your industry.

  • Make sure you engage in physical exercise. It keeps your brain alert and your body fit to enjoy your success.

  • Pray often, and know that for every success, God made it possible.

What about if ur mentor is in good position to help u financially, are u saying we should not ask him/her for financial help?

If you have reached a level of friendship and relaxation then maybe you can. This is because you have come to him to pass on knowledge to you and of course you don't want to seem opportunistic so if you are confident asking for help will not make him/her look at you somehow then go for it. But in reality even you know it's not all your friends you ask for help talk more of your teacher.

Great tips
