I’m a grown man but still there is a critical need for personal growth. In some ways I’m my age, in other ways I’m like a 14 year old boy. When looking back it’s noticeable that growth for me is possible. I have a general streak of insecurity still for instance, but I can cold approach easily now. The need for growth ranges within everything, from game to professional life.

The problem is: it goes way, way too slow. One measure for speeding up is to DO MORE, instead of planning and thinking, day dreaming. My rule of thumb is that if I’ve thought about it a couple of times I do it, because I won’t stop thinking about it. The thinking is for me a good indicator to that something is relevant.

Another way is to strategically spend money, to actually use money to get somewhere, something my dad couldn’t. If a book is a road block, I buy the book, simply. I don’t have to be 100% sure.

One challenge is to identify when the next step of growth is present. It’s almost slumbering in the subconscious, hard to detect. I ask today: what will I in one month think “I should have done this sooner”? It’s darn hard.

Let me know if you have tricks for speeding up personal growth.

You simply start taking action.

People sit around waiting for motivation to do something many times but the ironic thing is that once you start doing something that becomes motivation in and of itself which then allows you to keep going and doing.

It's not a guarantee to accelerate anything, but you could keep a journal or spreadsheet to track your progress. Count the wins. You might be surprised how quickly things move forward.

Yeah, but this only works if you are really honest with yourself, write a list of the fears you have, then make a plan to overcome them.
