A good starting point with personal development is to look at how you got to where you are right now. For example, if your area of Self Improvement relates to weight loss then look at what lifestyle factors contributed to your weight problem to start with. Write down everything you can think of that contributed to the problem and then analyze how you can modify each factor to get the result you desire.
2) Goal Setting
Clarity is very essential in achieving any self improvement goal. Ask yourself exactly what it is that you wish to achieve and the more refined and clear your goal the more chance you will have of successfully attaining it.
3) Create a Plan
