The world is constantly changing, adapting, and overcoming, and so should you! There is never a time or age limit for bettering yourself or learning new skills. Making time for personal development is an integral part of achieving a work-life balance, boosting confidence, and creating opportunities. It is a long-term process of self-improvement and an underestimated act of self-care, providing lasting benefits to various aspects of your life. But where do you start?

Personal development has many forms and can come from unexpected sources. From enrolling in courses, learning a new language to simply picking up a book before bed, there are countless ways both subtle and bold to work on your personal development. Whether you’re looking to invest money into it, or you have no budget at all, there are many sources that can help. Podcasts and audiobooks are a fantastic tool for auditory learners, while documentaries and video tutorials can be a useful tool if you are more visual. There are endless options, all you have to do is make time.

Benefits of personal development:

  • Acquiring new skills
  • Boosting your confidence
  • Creating new opportunities
  • Exercising your brain dexterity
  • Setting and achieving new goals
  • Meeting new people/making connections

We all know running a business can be time consuming and incredibly busy, which is why planning is an absolute must. Monthly plans and processes not only allow you to better visualise your business’ current state but also help to begin the development of future strategies.

Saving time

Monthly planning saves time- allowing you to focus on other important aspects of running your business. Providing a boost to your time management, having a plan in place prepares your business for upcoming spending as well as protecting you from falling behind on payments and expenditures.

Assessing progress

Apart from establishing a regime and saving time, monthly planning also allows you to assess your business’ financial health. You can examine what is working and what isn’t while getting to the root of any problems and identifying underlying issues with ease. It’s a fantastic tool for business growth as well as budget and forecasts comparisons.

A monthly business plan might include:

•  A cashflow statement

• An income and expenditure statement.

• A sales forecast

• A balance sheet
