Steem Women club Engagement Contest | What I Do For Personal Development by @ebunoluwani | 10% set to @steemwomensclub
Greetings to everyone on @steemwomensclub and Steemians at large.
How do you do? Trust the week is coming along well. I am certain that we are all engaging one another and having a great time with the steemit engagement challenge. We have come a long way and this is week four.
Welcome to my contest entry.
Introduction
The @steemwomensclub has been introducing creative contest topics since the onset of this challenge and this week is no different. This week we will be discussing personal development.
Understanding Personal Development
In every human life there exists what they call growth and development. Growth is synonymous to development as they both have the same end result which is a positive change and a better human. Personal Development is a concept that aims towards the betterment of a human capabilities and improvement. Personal development helps to improve your self-esteem
Personal development helps to improve your skill
Personal development helps to get rid of bad habits. Personal development is for the betterment of ourself.
How do I improve myself?
Skills and experience
I learn skills to help build my career. I am a Content writer and a social media manager. Over time, I have taken online classes to develop myself. I am a certified social media manager and writer.
Experience has been further gained by putting my skills to work. I have worked with Yomrond concept, Turbosend, WearAdepeju, and Elbethel foundation as social media manager.
As a content writer, I have written content for the Loispiration blog and curated content for the Yomrond concept, and I currently work as a content creator for Kloutbox.
Steemit has also offered a working opportunity for me and served me well as my blog. I am not there yet but I know that I will get there.
Getting rid of my bad habits
There is a common saying that “old habits die hard”. It is true!
My bad habit is that I am a Snub, I am very poor at communicating with people and I have very few friends. However, having attended seminars, zoom meetings read books, I have realized that I can do better. I began to accommodate people more and started to come out of my shell to speak out.
Building my confidence
In aspect of being confidence of what I am capable of doing, I am very lacking. My confidence level is very low. Even when it is obvious that I can do this, I most times doubt myself and when doubt set in, I withdraw and run. I am a poet and a voice over artist. I have been trying to create a YouTube channel for audiobooks for the past one year but I've been so scared to go ahead.
Some weeks ago I began to get pressure from people telling me not to waste my voice.
Ladies and gentlemen lately I have started working on my Youtube channel for audiobooks. Although I am yet to launch, I am still mobilizing for subscribers and this time, I will make it happen. I also call on Steemians to subscribe to my Youtube channel. I know we support each other in steemit which is why I am calling on to you all.

Recommendations
This is going to everyone out there, development comes with some sacrifices that we will pay to be better, but we have to be intentional about our growth and development.
Pay the price for the prize.

Hi @starrchris
Thank you for your prompt comment and warm words.
Thank you for reading as well.
Yeah... Sometimes, doubt creeps in and we stop whatever we already set our minds to achieve. One of the things we can do when it seems we are faced with doubt, doubting ourselves, people around us, our potentials etc., is to take action instantly... We can only kill our fears if we take action and do that which we are afraid of doing.
If you don't mind, I can also recommend some books which may be of help...
Those two books are very great. The later will help you to manage and handle failures and mistakes. While the former will give you the reason to do that which you want to do, what you want to achieve. It not only gives personal experiences of Maxwell, but also testimonies of different people who lived a life of intentionality..
I'm glad you are overcoming that already. I can see the link to your YouTube channel. I will subscribe once I drop this comment.
I like what you are doing to improve yourself. Kudos!
Kind regards!
Is there a soft copy for this book?
I don't mind connecting to you on WhatsApp if you have the link.
I can't believe I have my first subscriber already, I am moved to tears.
Thank you sooooo much
Yeah... I have the PDF of intentional Living... You can connect with me on Whatsapp.

I have done that
It's good that you know your weakness which is self-doubt, work on it, always tell yourself that you can do it, it's better to try and you fall than never trying at all. You know fallure is part of self development. Valuable skills you've got dear friend and I like them. Thanks for sharing with us and for inviting me, my entry is loading...
Yes
I believe
Thank you for commenting on my post and for reading.
Growth is a process
Process that must be committed to
Process that must be endured
Process that must be trusted
Process that must be relied on
Process that needs fuel - fuel flowing from passion
Process that must be gleaned with sacrifice
Process that must be studied carefully.
Growth is never never instant
Many people think growth is instant
Many confuse growth with 100m race
Meanwhile growth is an endurance race
Until we see growth as it is, we will never grow as we ought to.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Wise words
