Why don't you spend more time in the Personal Development Section???

[bradles]

Hi Guys,

I find it quite interesting that there is always about 400 - 500 people viewing the Internet Marketing Discussion Forum and only about 10 - 20 people viewing the Personal Development section!

I spent the first 3 years of my investing journey going from strategy to strategy and achieved very little success. I learnt about Options Trading on the Stock Market, Property Investing, Internet Marketing, Network Marketing, etc, etc. I spent more than $100,000 on all of the latest strategies and purchased courses on every investment strategy you can think of. I made a lot of money in a short period of time and then I gave it all back again! I did this over and over again and it was like banging my head against a brick wall!

18 months ago I discovered that the missing link was my MINDSET!!! I had some major subconscious limiting beliefs that were preventing me from achieveing success. My subconscious mind was sabotaging my results and no matter how much money I generated I found a way to donate it all back again!

I believe 95% of success comes down to our Mindset!

Don't make the same mistake that I did and focus all of your time and energy on learning the strategies. Working on your mindset should be a number one priority! Spend some time working on the 6 inches between your ears. That time will be well spent and you will start attracting more wealth and abundance than you ever imagined possible!

There are literally millions of amazing strategies to generate money. You just need to remove any limiting beliefs first and then tap into the pipeline!

Napoleon Hill says 'When riches begin to come, they come so quickly, in such great abundance, that one wonders where they have been hiding all these lean years'.

Cheers, Brad

Your observation is absolutely correct. Most people are eager to read threads that have to do with making money, latest trends in marketing world and more. It will be amazing if everyone of us can take some time once a while to read, listen, watch self development and inspirational clips. Great idea develops from the mind!

This is something I've been doing late but I think I'm getting round to things !
Taking action is key

People scoff at horoscopes because you have somebody trying to fit the human race into twelve categories. The fact that they are read by so many is a tribute to the effectiveness of the advertising and personality of the astrologer.

People seem to take into their hearts experts who claim to know where everybody else is going wrong and to have the recipe for improving who you are.

What is wrong with this picture?

I am who I am. I am comfortable with who I am. I have had failures because of who I am and I have had tremendous success because of who I am. There is not a single person in this whole, wide, world who can point to me and say "I can teach that person to improve himself" unless he knws me well as a person and has won my confidence by becoming a trusted friend - and even then, I doubt it.

Why are people so lacking in self confidence that they will scout around for people to tell them who they should be rather than doing something, people to tell them how to think rather than thinking and getting so guru-ised in the process that they will find any and all criticism of what they are doing as counter productive?

To be a doctor might take seven years of study, to be you simply requires that you be.

I'm with you on this 100% and it's sad many glaze over anything that has to do with mindset. Try selling people on working on themselves... Freaken nightmare.

I love what Jim Rohn said, "Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job."

He did not say it in the following video but he's worth studying. The line in the following video is all about mindset however, "Success is something you attract by the person you become."

Here's the video with the quote

Personal development junkie to the bitter end,

Art Webster makes some good points. We are way too obsessed with personal development, especially Americans (and I'm an American too!).

You can waste a lifetime navel gazing... just get out there and get to work! Doing it, taking action, will reveal your strengths and weaknesses and you must overcome these to succeed.

You learn through experience and you can also learn through other people. You don't do this by looking inward all the time and waffling about it.

I'm not trying to offend anyone, but the self-help industry is mostly for the benefit of gurus.

I'm with you with this. Like Craig and yourself, I'm a personal development junkie.

When I first joined the WF I went into Mind Warriors section a fair bit because that was my comfort zone. IM was a new arena for me and PD was something I'd spent the last fifteen/twenty years working on. However, the primary purpose for being a member of the Warrior Forum was to learn about Internet Marketing - so I gravitated to the main section and other, more technical sections.

I pop in every now and then, but I must admit I get my personal development kicks elsewhere - that's not meant to be a big criticism of Mind Warriors, it's just the way I prefer.

I think it mostly comes down to a time factor! For many, the warrior forum has just 2 categories, a main forum and a WSO forum which we directly link into. Survey says... Many don't even know or keep forgetting that there are a few other sections...

This is very true BUT how in blue blazes can a remote, anonymous, made a name for himself, read a book once, expert (was a drip, now under pressure) possibly know that your mind set is wrong? How in blue blazes do YOU know that your mind set is wrong? If you have never succeeded at anything, don't put it down to thinking bad thoughts. Acknowledge that you failed for want of knowledge, expertise, practical skills, or anything else these experts will ignore.

The fact that you tried shows that you have the right mind set - it is what happens after the failure that defines who you are and, without knowing all the elements that led up to the failure, the experts are blowing smoke.

Whatever happened to self confidence?

To be honest, even though I'm a coach, I check out the PD section more to see what folks are a-selling in their sig files;-)

Although there are occasionally some helpful and inspiring PD threads I don't think it's all necessary to go there. Just roll up your sleeves and get to work.

"Opportunity comes dressed in overalls and looking like hard work." Thomas Edison quote? And too true (in my experience).

[Martin Luxton]

There is only so much time in a day and I don't want to spend too much of it on a forum. The Main Forum takes up most of my forum time and there is actually loads of stuff there that you could label PD.

As far as specific personal development goes, I prefer reading stuff about that in a quiet place away from a computer.

I've visited a few times in the past, kept stumbling over the soap boxes...

There were some good points and threads, But I almost lost my hearing a couple times.

With all the... "JUST DO IT" type preaching and pontificating.

More tired rhetoric than substance...

Guess I'm more a Steven Covey type of guy.

The personal development forum is too heavy on Superstitions and light on the actual content.
