Personal Development You are interested in your own Personal Development, building Self Esteem, and self motivation. But there are so many books and articles on motivation, "self healing", management issues and career challenges that it's difficult to see the wood for the trees. Some is frankly "new age" religious mumbo jumbo. Others are so dry it's difficult to read them. And of course, the situations never quite match your own.... There's lots of free stuff, some good, some decidedly dodgy. Mostly not personalised, by the very nature of the medium - the writers are trying to reach as many people as possible. This means the advice is general, and you might not be able to see how it fits your particular circumstances. There's a lot of very good stuff out there, but eye-wateringly expensive - do you want to cough up when you are unsure of the benefits? These articles are crafted to help you with your self development, and act as useful and powerful aids to increasing your abilities and self esteem. Some are straight articles, others provide recommendations on value for money courses that you can check out. The four different areas are: 2. Self confidence and Motivation 3. Techniques 4. Handy tips to attain your life aims
Management and small business skills are covered in a separate part of this website - click here for articles on Managing Better, Project Management, Handling your Customers, Firefighting, debt collection and more.

All the articles come from real experiences, and real people - some from my own experience, but many from others.
