Growth

The act, process, or manner of growing; development; gradual increase. OR you can be a morbid mass of tissue.
As humans we have a choice;
Understanding the Process of growth over a period of time is one of the many steps in applying the principals of personal development. Real leaders invest in themselves first before they can invest in others.
Knowledge of the task at hand, information and solid support is vital to success of any project, it must be worth your investment in time and resources. The sure fire formula for success is a DREAM + OPPORTUNITY + EFFORT= SUCCESS but this is in general terms, lets break it down into achievable chunks.
Starting with the GOAL. Unless you attach an emotional link to your goal it would be always vulnerable to the winds of change, that is the minute you set off on any goal tests seem to start happening, this could be the form of negative information or negative people, financial struggles, health challenges with yourself or family or with your team members. Remember goals are just stepping stones to your dream, so let's not get all protective about dreams as the biggest entrepreneurs are the biggest dreamers and the way to see those dreams come true is to continue achieving goals set to a time frame with a action plan that moves towards that dream.
With the goal set in concrete without interference from any source, only then can the journey begin. Staying focused but not blind to real issues is a balance that not many people can achieve as it will take strong vision and persistence to break down barriers that will take you into uncharted waters. I call these barriers, membranes of growth, they can be vital in supporting the concept but restrictive in fast development and expansion, you can stretch them a little allowing you to go so far and at the same time holding you back from the next great leap in developing the future. Applying pressure to break through is vital and when you do move on, the process can give you many rewards like satisfaction and experience. So pressure can be good provided it is not stress, working under pressure develops performance but stress can fracture and destroy.
In my next post we will work on the ten average reasons that most people put pressure on themselves.
