"Personal Development" though is an incredibly broad topic, and I believe the term has become more of a sweeping generalization than something that means anything concrete.
For example; you could write personal development articles just on family issues, or just on time management techniques, or "inner game" stuff, or how to better express yourself in your music, or how to open chakras, or how to improve athletic performance, or grill a better steak, or whatever you're into. Don't make the mistake of connecting the term 'Personal Development' to just new age, woo woo, "The Secret" type stuff. Just about EVERYTHING in this world has the potential to be improved, woo woo or not. (although I would advise against a blog strictly about grilling, unless you believe in your subconscious mind with 100% conviction that you
are the grill master)
That being said, I wouldn't discourage anyone from starting their own PD blog. There will always be someone willing to learn once the teacher appears, and everyone will always have their own unique spin on what they believe personal development is. Who knows, you (as in anyone starting one of these blogs) may just be able to provide the right advice, worded in the right way, from the right frame, to get someone to make the turnaround in their life in some way. And if helping people is why you're in it, then it'll have been worth it.
