thanks
I have two PD sites, both shown in my signature. I began my PurposefulGrowth site toward the end of June of this year. I now get approximately 250 to 300 page views a day, with my peak being about 850. My 12 month goal is 3000 per day.

My second site has been active since mid-March of this year. Traffic there is lower, about 200 page views/day. This one is part of a large commercial information site, Suite101.com, so I'm shooting for 5000 PV's per day.

Steve's blog has focused some of my efforts and given me some good modeling, but I've been writing PD articles since 2001.

Hey, StevenAitchison! I took a look at your blog and saw that you are in Scotland. You have a beautiful foto on your blog.

Are there any personal growth activities (or others) going on in Edinburgh or Glasgow between December 16th and 21st? I'll be in Edinburgh for my yearly Christmas shopping .

Hello everyone,

My site is called Levnow Self-Help Tools, (pronounced Live Now), I also have a personal development blog (see below). The website is a collection of articles, books and that cover five main areas of life, health, relationships, finance, spirituality, self-improvement and your physical environment.

The blog is a record of my personal philosophies, experiences and thoughts on personal development. Most of my work is based on taking complete responsibility for your life and using the power of your mind to create positive changes.

I will be checking out everyone’s site, thanks for sharing everyone.

Cheers,

I have a blog on this as well, but mine takes a little different angle.

I 'm at the very beginning of my journey to success (actually, the more steps I take on the road, the longer the path still ahead feels for me... no joke)

So I decided to let the whole world know that I'm planning to be successful, and let everybody make fun of me if I don't make it. I hope that's going to be pretty good motivation for myself

The link is in my sig, hope you like it!

My blog is about all aspects regarding personal growth and improving the reality you live in. It's only a month old today, but I've been keeping a pace of one post/day so far. Currently it's focusing more on personal wealth creation, goal setting and a bit of psychology and philosophy, but the object is to expand it to just about all of the categories as this forum encompasses.

There's still some minor tweaking to be done, but for now I'm just working on loading up content with context before I start treating it like a business with income.

It's in the sig, hope you like it.

Wow...there are so many blog sites on PD I never knew existed, I guess i'll be reading a lot in the days ahead. I have one too...it's my signature I believe. But just in case i'm wrong, it's Deoluakinyemi » Daily Motivation and Development for People and Organizations - ASE It has been on since March and presently does 8000-9000+ hits per day. I blog about career, entrepreneurship, courage, attitudes, leadership, and it has a bit of a patriotic tint. Hope someone finds it helpful. This forum idea is great. Weldone steve .

My blog is @ http://danceybingz.wordpress.com. . After experiencing lots of frustration, boredom, sadness on what to do with the rest of my life, I started this personal mission: "To positively impact more than 10,000,000 lives through dance". Hence, the birth of this blog last Dec (shifted from blogspot to wordpress in Jan 07). Here, I blog about my learning experience in dance, how I become leaner and stronger, and more confident about myself. I intend to create some passive income from this in future, so do go check it out and give me some pointers on how to improve it k? thanks! =)

I'm not sure if my blog qualifies as a PD blog, but it may interest you.

Mostly I write about my own goals in life. By the standards of most mere mortals ( ) the goals are definitely Not Small, so you may find the blog quite interesting.

My goals are also quite varied and span different areas of my life - family, career, social contribution, finances, health, spiritual etc etc - so you'll probably find that you and I probably have some similar kinds of goals.

I also receive compliments for the extremely .... interesting ... pictures I use on my blog.

Check the sig, naturally. I'm writing from the premise that our advancement is dependent on finding new perspectives that integrate rational and spiritual approaches into a consistent life practice.
