Getting Started with the Smart Self Development Plan

Smart Self Development Plan Start Here

If you are interested in developing yourself to be in the driver’s seat: Welcome!

Keep reading, this is a perfect place for you to start, as the key information to kick-off your experience is all available on this page.

You will get the chance to discover how to create, complete and follow through your personal development goals, whether there are part of an action plan you developed during a training or whether they are currently just saved in your head.

I have seen many people abandon their initiatives to change, notably during my time as a trainer and facilitator. And I never really understood why, until I, personally, “temporarily forgot” about an important goal, just because I was simply to busy with my daily life. When I realized that, I started searching for my action plan and looked at my goal which should lead me to have the freedom to do what I want, when I want, and from where I want. Then, I took action. Today, I am an entrepreneur and as part of my new “mission”, I have started this blog beginning of 2013.  It feels great!

So, here, I share how I have learned to pursue my goals and make things happen. While I am still on a big learning curve, I now have more freedom while I do the work I love (currently more hours than when I was employed, but it does not feel that way).

Now, let’s get you started!
