I?m gonna get off my rear end and lose some weight. I?m taking a few classes to enhance my skills and get a better job with more money. Maybe If I improve my time management skills I can spend more quality time with my parents. I hear some of my girls talk about time freedom and how much better it is to be self-employed than trading time for dollars, maybe I?ll see if entrepreneurship is for me too. Reading a new self-help book every-other-month should not be too hard to accomplish. These are some of the common commitments women make during National Self-Improvement Month, but what happens in October?Thought leaders, life coaches and other personal development professionals love September because besides January when millions of women set New Year?s Resolutions, this month is the month of massive self-reflection and life changing activity. Thirty days of looking in the mirror, wow... If you want to get the most out of National Self-Improvement Month 2012, consider this essential self-improvement guide for women entrepreneurs. ?
