Personal Development in 2016

Like many people in BP community, I'm a personal development and real estate investing nerd.

I would love to know what everyone is thinking/planing/doing for their personal and real estate growth in 2016.

Here's a great outline if you don't have a plan already. I've always heard that you're a combination of (1) the things you read, (2) the things you listen to, and (3) the people you hang out with. This article adds two more (events and places).

I love BiggerPockets because it definitely covers GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT MESSAGES, and GREAT BOOKS.

Great Tools for Growth

What will you use to form and achieve your plan for growth?

Intentionally plan your growth by committing yourself to the discipline of learning in these five areas.

1. GREAT PEOPLE - The people you surround yourself with will shape you more than anything else. Spend time with talented, experienced, growing people. (Tactic - Schedule one lunch a month with someone who will stretch your thinking.)

2. GREAT MESSAGES - In our connected world, you literally have access to thousands of speakers at your fingertips. Take advantage of that! (Tactic - Listen to one message that challenges you every week.)

3. GREAT PLACES - Find places that inspire and instruct you, and spend time there. Soak up your surroundings and see what they can teach you. (Tactic - Plan one trip every year that will inspire you.)

4. GREAT EVENTS - Conferences, workshops, and celebrations stimulate you to engage with your environment and learn from it. (Tactic - Set aside time and money to attend one per year.)

5. GREAT BOOKS - Great books can give you access to a world of mentors with experience in any area. Read deeply to guide and improve your thinking. (Tactic - Commit to reading a book every month. If possible, increase that discipline to one per week.)
