Use these Personal Development ideas to Improve your Trading Goals

'Personal Development' seems to be one of those buzz words which has grown over the last few years and like me, you have probably seen the expression somewhere in your professional or personal life.

So you may be asking yourself 'what is Personal Development'?' 

FGY Magazine - the specialist personal development resource tells us that 'Personal Development is a self help and self improvement journey which helps an individual reach their fullest potential by discovering, creating and transforming their thoughts, environment and life.

We asked our CEO - Glen, who has been using this technique for the last eight years for his opinion and he kindly provided the following five tips: 

1. Set realistic financial and trading goals which you can personally identify with, and ensure that the goals are Specific Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time bound (SMART)
    
2. Read your goals on a daily basis; this point is missed by so many people, yet it is so important and effective. Dedicating time to read your goals helps you focus and is a reminder of what you are working to achieve. This in turn will help you only make worthwhile decisions which produce the desired results towards your overall goal.  
    
3. Break large financial or trading goals into smaller sized chunks and by doing so - they will be easier to achieve.  
    
4. Have a positive outlook - you must apply this positivity to all areas of your life. 
    
5. Avoid stressful situations. Clear your mind. Relax more. Surround yourself with people who are supportive of you and your life plan.    
    
   In conclusion, goals are an effective way to keep you motivated and moving in the right direction towards your dreams. If you have never tried this technique before, give it a go you may be surprised at the results.
