A goal of self-improvement alone would work.

Although since "self-improvement" in this context basically refers to "improving your ability to accomplish goals"...

You will see a grammatical error as a mistake if you value grammar in general, or if you value being right in general.

Stop me if this is a non-secteur, but surely "having accurate beliefs" and "acting on those beliefs in a particular way" are completely different things? I haven't really been following this conversation, though.
