During your life,
you’ve developed a few ideas and even formed some beliefs and
established values around those ideas. Sometimes those ideas are
simply wrong. They may feel right due to your own experience in life
thus far, but often, they are very subjective and not an actual
indicator that everyone will experience the same thing. Sometimes
fears develop that can cause roadblocks on your path to success.
Get You Out of
Your Comfort Zone – One thing that
can get in the way of success is sticking to comfort zones. If you’ve
never gotten up in front of a group and talked to them about what you
know, how do you really know you dislike and fear public speaking? A
personal development plan can help you take steps to work on your
fear, such as by joining a speakers’ group or hiring a coach.
Builds Your
Confidence – With a good personal
development plan you’re going to go swimming with the sharks first
thing (unless that’s your jam), but you will slowly collect
successes that will energize you to keep going. As you experience
more joy in life, your confidence will become stronger and enable you
to let go of some fears. If you don’t have a heart attack giving
that talk at Toast Masters, you probably won’t have a heart attack
at that meeting.
Increases
Self-Awareness – One of the
problems most of us have is not being self-aware. It’s hard
sometimes to look to ourselves to find out how we can personally
change to improve our career, work, business, relationships, and so
forth. When you become aware that something, you’re doing is making
things happen the way they are, you can take control of it. For
example, if you go to networking events and never meet anyone why?
Are you sitting at the same table, what the same people? Did you go
to the event with a plan? The self-development plan will address this
because the moment you know about the event, you’re going to do a
SWOT, and you’re going to figure out how to dominate that
networking event.
Helps You
Develop Plan B – Everyone must
start with an assumption, and often they are wrong. You do your best
research, and you act with confidence, but it’s still wrong. A
personal development plan is going to help you identify areas that
need a plan B to avoid any problems and bottlenecks for anything you
want to accomplish.
Ensures You
Confront Your Fears – Some fears
are smart. For example, there is no reason to run around at night
walking into dark areas of town in most places. The fear you have
about that is protecting you. However, if you have a fear of
judgment, you might never get that product in your shopping cart
ready for sale. Your lack of confidence has caused a fear of failure,
and you tend not to get things done, but you have lots of ideas. A
personal development plan will ensure you realize this is happening
consciously and allow you to create steps to combat that fear.
Notes Any
Progress You’ve Made – Because
you don’t just create your plan once and end it, it’s an ongoing
process, you will want to periodically go through any plan you’ve
created and note that you did it so that you can move on to a new
plan. When you acknowledge your success and even study your failures,
you will be that much more ready to experience success again.
Helps You
Redefine “Fearless” – An
excellent personal development plan will help you redefine what it
means to be fearless. It’s not as cut and dried as you think. It
also might not even be necessary. You can feel fear and act anyway.
Your personal
development plan will help you overcome your fears because the
personal development plan was designed to help you think differently.
A personal development plan helps you become more self-aware to
notice what you can do differently to achieve your goals, including
overcoming fears. http://bit.ly/32OXktC
