Check out www.kidkaizen.com I tend to take in, take in, take in, then talk about it to others and move on to something else. Self improvement gluttony. Make a plan and work it. Think about it and check yourself daily. Continual improvement has recently become my mantra especially when it comes to my family.

I can contribute two practical tips 1) Plan time for self-improvement in your calendar like any other appointment and use the time to learn a new language or a new skill 2) Read a book every week.

Bring your passion and interest in the issue to the group and learn how to spread your enthusiasm to generate action. By so doing you will find the need to grow and learn things about yourself and the people in your community. Get involved with a civic issue that you are interested in by volunteering.

Thanks for including me in this. I had to laugh when I read your response to my answer... ___________________________ I said: "It’s just part of my DNA. I don’t know any other way to be in the world!" YOU Said: " Well that probably makes things easier. " ______________ My response: Actually it doesn't make things easier! I'm always so interested in learning more and growing that I'm constantly changing and reinventing myself. I can't stop it. Sometimes I really wish I could because it would be so much easier to have just one business for the rest of my life. One focus without ever getting distracted or changing my mind as I learn something new. Remember when you helped me change my URL? All that work was because I learned something new. And now, I'm sick of Typepad. So now I'm going down the difficult path of learning Wordpress so that I can reinvent my business under my 13 year old website, www.arianebenefit.com website. I'm thinking about starting a new blog weaning myself off Dreamweaver too. Easy to continously learn and grow? I wish! : ) I envy the people who have to set that as a goal. My goal for the next year is to slow down my own learning a little and spend more time developing & delivering learning programs to help others learn! Hey Mark! Thanks for including me in this.
