If you want to run a marathon, you don't start training by running as far as you can as fast as you can on day one, and then hope to get a little further and faster the next day. There are many ways to properly train for a marathon, and I can assure you that this isn't an effective one of them.
And yet, this is how I see some people approach their journey into personal development.
They dive headfirst into a flurry of activities: books, courses, podcasts, youtube and workshops. Hoping that somewhere in the chaos, growth will happen. But here’s the truth. Without a plan, without intention, without plotting your course, you’re just running without direction. And more often then not, you'll be running in the wrong direction.
Personal development isn’t about how fast you can grow, but how intentionally you can grow. Are you growing in the right areas that make sense for where you are at today. It’s about setting a course that is aligned with your vision, and then sticking to it with purpose and dedication. Just like training for that marathon, it’s not about the sprint -- it’s about the steady, consistent pace that brings results over time.
So, how do you plot your personal development course? I'll give you two paths: one that you can implement on your own and the other will help you save some time and headaches.
