Personal Development & Success Are Just a Keystroke Away.

What’s more, the book showing how to obtain them is FREE.

My name is Lynette Chartier, and like you, I’m used to working hard.

I was an educator for many years and worked under the educational bureaucracy that frequently stifles free thought and expression.

The many children and young people I taught always seemed to excel.  They had a feeling of personal success through personal development that was all part of my curriculum.

I got results, however educational boards require things “be done by the book.”  Frankly there was not much room for individual initiative.

I knew there was something more…  a way in which I could put my skills and knowledge to work for others… and then teach others to pass that knowledge on … regardless of their educational background or previous career.  And that’s when I began developing my book on personal development and success.

Let me define “personal development” and what it does …

• Personal development is the process that allows you to improve and grow in order to Be, Do and Have what you want out of life.
• Personal development helps you work through your fears, self-limiting beliefs, and habits that hold you back from being, doing and having what you want.
• Personal development is the road to increased self-esteem, and self-confidence.
• Personal development allows you to take more initiative and develop your leadership skills in order to pursue your purpose, and passion.
• Personal development allows you to have more self-control; more control over your thoughts, more awareness around the power of your words and language, more control over your emotions, and therefore your actions.

To sum it up, personal development is your key to personal mastery and a  more fulfilled, purposeful life.

Personal development comes in various forms such as reading my e-book, lectures, seminars, formal in-class courses or on-line courses, reading self-help books and articles, listening to tapes, working with a life coach, and so on.  It doesn’t matter how you start to grow personally, but only that you do start.

You can start from wherever you are personally or professionally. 

The important thing is that you start.

And then I looked at success, and discovered what I think is among the best definitions I’ve found:  

"A person is a success if they get up in the morning and get to bed at night and in between do what he or she wants to do." -Bob Dylan

Success is a complete package, which includes:

• being in joy, while rendering service to others
• pursuing what one loves to do
• being in good physical health; feeling vibrant and alive
• having the financial resources to be able to experience the choices in life one desires
• enjoying fulfilling relationships
• experiencing a spiritual connection
• being able to experience freedom
• being able to design one's life rather than live it by default.

The secret to attaining this overall success lies in personal growth and development…and knowing why you are  doing what you are doing.

Knowing why you want a change in your situation will help you deal with the procrastination, with the shyness, with the tiredness, with the lack of money, with whatever obstacle is stopping you from moving forward. 

Now let's define what knowing your “why” really signifies.

• It means knowing why something is important to you and making the decision as to why you must have it.
• It is recognizing how achieving what you want will make you feel.
• It is understanding what achieving your desired goal will bring in your personal life and how it will positively impact those closest to you.

A why has strong powerful positive emotions tied to it.  It is having an overwhelming desire, a burning fire in your belly.  It is the big reason behind why you are doing something.

Here’s an example of an everyday situation where people fail to clearly identify the why.

Situation: I am going to work at improving my financial situation.                                                           

Reason: I need more money to pay the bills. 

This sounds practical and necessary but does not have much emotional juice to it. A darn more powerful “why” could be:

·        I want my family to have a holiday and have fun together.

·        I do not want to depend on others for financial help.

·        My family deserves to know that there will always be resources for the necessities and more.

·        I will not let my dreams and my life pass me by.

"It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are." -Roy Disney

Little did I know that my involvement in the field of Success & Personal Development would become the source of my income! 

But WHY is Personal Development necessary?

Personal development is necessary because too many adults are stressed to the max, tired, overworked, and only have enough money to survive. Many families have both parents working and the number of single parent households is on the rise. Children are frequently not receiving the care, the nurturing, and attention they need. Drug use, alcohol abuse, and other addictions are too prevalent. People are feeling out of control and scattered.
