Tip #1 - Personal development is the field of self improvement and the development of others. On the individual level personal development is a key part of personal self worth and satisfaction. Nothing stays the same; either it is growing or degenerating.

Development of individuals within an organization serves to construct and define the development of the organization as a whole. And, the whole is simply the combination of all its parts.

Tip #2 - Business owners and entrepreneurs are by their very nature leaders. It is a necessary part of being a leader to improve and grow. Individual growth drives leadership growth. And, when the individual leader of an organization has the attitude of personal growth and development it sets the growth culture of the organization.

Tip #3 - Marketing is perhaps 95% of any organization's success. Sales, a division of marketing, requires constant self improvement to be successful. Most sales people fail because they neglect to learn and grow in the area of self improvement.

There is no such thing as a born salesperson. Of course some people are outgoing and friendly, and seem to be good with people, but that doesn't automatically translate into being a good salesperson. There are many more skills needed by a salesperson to be effective, and most of them must be learned.

Tip #4 - Developing others within an organization is just as important as developing one's self. Basically, the employees and associates within an organization are an extension of the individual(s) that created the organization. So, developing others within the organization is necessary for growth and development of the organization as a whole.

Tip #5 - Employee satisfaction is a key part of the productivity measure of an organization. Satisfied employees are generally more productive. Personal development is a key part of job satisfaction.

Tip #6 - To be effective the personal development and training programs of an organization must be

planned,

organized, and

controlled.

Having a formalized program for improvement of individuals within the organization helps ensure that the personal development efforts of top management will be successful. It also helps to focus attention upon this most vital part of any organization.

A formalized self improvement program also serves to provide a structure by which to measure its progress and effectiveness. When you record and analyze your training programs you can see where improvements are needed.

Tip #7 - Self improvement isn't an easy task. It takes courage to a look at one's self in an objective, detached way. And, even when we try our best we still come short of seeing ourselves as we truly are. So, the help of an outside, objective set of eyes is also extremely helpful in making your personal development programs a success.

There are many coaches and consultants that provide self improvement training for business owners and entrepreneurs, and their staffs. The help of a good coach is often necessary for success of your personal development efforts.

Many small business owners start out with tight budgets and limited extra capital. If you find yourself in that situation do take advantage of all the free resources available through the Internet. There are also many companies that provide personal development training from a distance through online collaboration for a minimal fee.

In conclusion, doing the above things will bring excellent results for your business. These are business development management tips that will help you prevent failure.
