Life is constantly moving forward. Things are progressing towards development. Individuals are always pitted against each other in a rat race that they forget to take a moment to evaluate their lives. Perhaps it is time to take a course or learn a skill to enhance themselves and for personal development.

Personal Development Lessons
Personal development starts by taking an initiative. It is absolutely essential for an individual to actively invest in themselves in order to progress their career. Skills are the single most important thing that an individual can gain for their career advancement. If a person doesn’t take a step, then he/she might experience a plateau or may not progress forward in life or career.
So, here are the best ways for an individual to make that advancement in their lives and careers –
1) Up-skill
One of the best ways to get on track towards development is through up-skilling. In modern times, there are multiple sources that would allow an individual to learn skills and gain knowledge. A few important skills for QNET distributors include marketing, networking, selling and public speaking.
These skills help in communication and also help share a person’s vision. In the end, as direct sellers, individuals need to network with prospects and customers. They need to sell products and build a sales team to earn commissions. Now, this might seem intimidating initially, however, it is just another skill that individuals need to learn. In time, they can experience the rewards as they scale their businesses.
Another way for individuals is to watch informational videos. Multiple videos of direct selling and business development are available on YouTube. However, a few more important source for distributors is the QNET India VO and QNET’s official channels which constantly post the right kind of content to help in a person’s progression.
However, it all starts with developing skills and honing one’s craft.
Lesson: Invest in yourself and up-skill!
2) Read books
Now, this may not be new information. It is obvious that books provide knowledge and can facilitate development. However, it is important to choose the right set of books that would help in improving one’s skills. What’s more important is to ensure that one’s develops a habit of reading regularly. Reading regularly not only provides context it also helps an individual expand their horizon.
We are often limited by our surroundings and our mindset. Books expand our worlds beyond four walls and help us understand the possibilities available. It can also be the source of great ideas for individuals which they can apply to improve themselves as well as their business.
Lesson: Read books and expand your horizon.
3) Watch the right movies
Everyone watches movies. It is common for individuals to binge on Netflix, Amazon Prime and other OTTs. However, are these individuals accessing the right kind of movies that would help in facilitating their development? So, individuals must pay attention to the content, in specific, the kind of movies they are watching.
Good movies may include biopics, business movies, and motivational inspirational movies. Often these movies provide us with that spark of inspiration to start our journey. I usually rely on a few good movies to inspire and motivate me toward achieving my goals.
So, the key here is to be precise in how we choose our movies. They can act as a catalyst and inspire us towards growth.
Lesson: Streamline your movies and let it inspire you to take action.
4) Network and learn from mentors
Networking is important for individuals looking to expand their contacts and ensure outreach. A good network is always a great place to find like-minded. These people may have similar interests, similar goals and professions. They can help in providing ideas and may even motivate an individual to take action.
Often, one finds mentors and teachers only through networking. Mentors play a key role in helping us grow in our journey. They can provide information that would cut short the time that we would require to grow our business.
In my personal experience, I’ve had the chance to network with some of the best individuals. It has been a crucial role in my journey. So, always keep networking and learning by meeting new people.
Lesson: Network and learn from your mentors.
5) Journal
One of the most impactful things an individual can do to improve their current position is to journal. Journaling helps to create a plan that would be in line with their vision. An individual can also include important tasks he/she plans on achieving during a period of time.
Journaling can help track development and provide an overview. It further helps an individual make tweaks to their plan and execution. I have been journaling ever since I started my direct selling journey. It has been an important part of my process. It was difficult initially. However, once I was habituated, it really helped in improving my overall productivity.
Lesson: Journal and track your progress.
Personal development is all about planning and taking action. It is a path on which an individual can achieve personal as well as professional goals. Individuals often tend to slack off or give up on their goals. In such moments, it is important to have grit and determination to continue on the path to becoming successful.
