- Self-Improvement is Only for People with Terrible Lives

- You Must Pay Somebody to Help You
There is an endless supply of completely free information available both online and in libraries. And you can benefit from the plenty information without ever paying a penny. A lack of funds should not be used as an excuse not to better yourself.
- Self-Improvement is a Temporary Fix
Some people go to a seminar or purchase a self-help book, experience temporary benefits and then find themselves slipping back into their old problems.
