The purpose of this blog is to provide personal development methods and tips, and these involve articles, lists, stories, books and other things. So, I wanted to share some of the resources I use and enjoy online to my readers. This article highlights some of my favorite resources online (I read many more than just these) for personal development content in life and business. I know they will be useful to you as well. Feel free to add comments with your favorite resources.

#1: Books. Books. Books. This is THE best resource I can possibly recommend. I have many recommended book reviews here if you use this search.

#2: Manager Tools weekly management podcasts(http://www.manager-tools.com). Mike Auzenne and Mark Horstman have created a stunning amount of brilliant content that they describe as, “… a weekly podcast focused on helping you become a more effective manager and leader.” They deliver actionable content each week in podcasts, host amazing conferences and offer premium content on their site. I highly recommend it to any aspiring leader/manager.

#3: Steve Pavlina’s Personal Development Site/Blog (http://www.stevepavlina.com). Steve simply has a huge amount of great content on his site and blog. Its an excellent resource and covers many of the same topics and categories that I write about. Definitely worth spending some time at as well.

#4: Personal MBA (http://personalmba.com). Another great resource site where Josh has collected a batch of recommended business books and additional resources to get you on your way to learning everything you need to learn about business management, without the cost of tuition. I’ve found his site online after reading many of the same books and definitely agree with most of his book selections.

#5: Other blogs and sites. These are some of my other bookmarks and blogs I read. Nothing in order, just a great source of content from various other sites:

• Marshall Goldsmith Online Library
• David Maister
• Mission Minded Management
• Genuine Curiosity
• Management Craft
• The Practise of Leadership
• The Positivity Blog
• Life Hack

#6: Audio books, seminars and motivational speakers are other great resources for stepping up your capability, lifestyle and attitude to get more out of life. Some of the resources/individuals in this category I’ve really enjoyed are:

• Brian Tracy
• Anthony Robbins
• Earl Nightingale
• Executive Online Book Summaries
