Self Improvement. The best investment you will ever make.
You are very welcome to our self improvement web site, many thanks for visiting.

* personal development ideas (e.g. how to avoid cop out and be proactive)

* self improvement articles (e.g. example personal development plan).
Why did we create this web site?
The overall purpose is to help people help themselves to create the future of their choice, by choice, deliberately, using their inner resourcefulness.
Two famous Americans sum it up for me: Henry David Thoreau said, "most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them", and William James said, "compared to what we ought to be, we are only half awake".
Having spent over 30 years of my life as a self employed consultant, working with hundreds of companies and many thousands of people, I have experienced too many individuals heading for the grave, half awake, with their song still in them.
And, most often, NOT by choice, but because they did not know HOW TO be fully awake. How to release and realise more of their potential. How to be all they could choose to be. How to create the future of their choice.
And, most of the time, that was because no one ever told them or helped them to learn self help development.
i-choose-self-improvement is designed to help people to help themselves by sharing freely the "how to........." knowledge, tools and techniques that are well tried, business tested, practical and that work.
The best investment you will ever make.
Investing in improving yourself cannot be beaten as a strategy for success and amazing benefits on many levels, ranging from material success and money to personal growth to happiness to enriching the people around you to changing you and your family and friends and society to creating the future of your choice.
In addition, the significance of self improvement is that ALL improvement ultimately is SELF improvement because things don't do themselves, someone has to do it - guess who?
However, it is often in the doing it that things get tricky.
To illustrate the point, let's say that you decide to run a marathon as part of your self help personal improvement initiative.
Unless you are already an accomplished athlete and just running for the fun of it, you will probably NOT just turn up on the day and start running (i.e. not if you want to succeed anyway).
You know you will have to do some training, get into a fit condition, and get the right gear, do some planning etc. etc.
Daft as this example may seem, just turning up and starting is more or less what many people do when embarking on self improvement.
For many people buying the latest fad personal development idea or gadget is like impulse buying - there's a felt need that needs instant gratification. Come back a few months later, though, and "business as usual" is the norm as old habits have re-established themselves.
However, if you manage your self improvement the right way - the i-choose-self-improvement way - you will achieve life changing benefits.
If you do self improvement the wrong way, you may finish up feeling disappointed, frustrated, disillusioned; having wasted time, energy and money; and with your self esteem a bit battered.
I've spent 30 years and more learning what works, and helping others to do so, and I want to share this experience with you on this site.
