Typically, in the world of work and business, you have to invest a little to get anything back. That is the fundamental aspect that makes economics what it is. Even if you dont own your own business, things like a car to get you to work, or a suit to meet with the company dress code can be viewed as investments. After all, youre hopefully going to be making more than the costs of these items, right?

Im of course, talking about your own self. Self improvement is basically career improvement, lets be serious. Its no secret that highly successful people share common attributes, skills, and attitudes that let them rise to the top and stay there when everybody else is struggling to have a place to stand, down at the bottom there. Self improvement can lead to great prosperity in the world of work, because it makes anything possible.

People get so caught up in getting things that will make them successful that they forget that its what they can do and how they act that earns them money. One trait of people who have had great success is that they soon learned to give up limiting beliefs. That is, they learned that if they refused to believe negative things about themselves and their personalities, these negative things would simply not be true. They believed that any obstacle that stood in their way could be overcome.

These people never let their negative feelings about themselves shape their lives. Are you stuck in a career path that you never wanted because you were afraid to do what really appealed to you? Thats fine, really, completely understandable. Fear is the most powerful motivator, even more powerful than desire. However, this fear can lead to self doubt, and self doubt leads to selling yourself short.

So self improvement is tied to our jobs! Im not telling you to quit your job right now and go out to become a mime (assuming thats what youve always wanted to do). Im saying that you start your self improvement today by putting in the best effort you can at your job, even if its not what you want at the moment. View your job as a stepping stone in the right direction of where you want to go, not a dead end where you will stay until you die.

That is how successful people think. They make the most of what they have. They make success even where success for them would otherwise seem impossible, such as in situations where conditions arent everything they would prefer. That very often means day jobs.

I never advocate taking senseless risks, and obviously, caution can be a good thing. Its just that when caution turns into paralyzing fear, you lose more than what you were trying to protect. If you live with a constant fear that the worst is going to happen to you, you will probably concentrate on the worst parts of your life, or even create a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure.

Remember, in self improvement there is no one magic bullet. Its a process, and the process is what makes us better people. It comes gradually. So if you want a better life, apply this one self improvement technique today, and keep moving towards your goals!
