In order to rock your life and your business, it’s essential to assess where you ARE in your life; otherwise, one or both of the following will happen. First, you could wake up years later miles downstream from where you planned. Second, you won’t get the hang of letting go, which is essential in order to avoid burnout. Here’s how to do it: Twice a year, take yourself away from it all. If you can afford it, go away by yourself. If you can’t, lock the bathroom door. Then ask yourself these questions: 

Is my personal life working?

*  Am I progressing in my self-discovery/spirituality? 
*  Am I feeling close to God, or am I getting too swept up in stuff?
*  Am I my best friend; do I love myself? 
*  Am I being honest with myself and others – not fake or defensive? 
*  Am I stretching enough outside of my comfort zone?
*  What am I still afraid of? 
*  Where can I go and what can I do to get to the next level? 
*  Are my relationships deeply fulfilling?

Is my career working?

*   Am I learning, stretching, challenging myself? 
*   Am I building my network of fascinating people by 5 people per month?
*   Am I being honest with myself and others—authentic and not defensive?
*   What am I still afraid of? 
*   Where can I go and what can I do to get to the next level? 
*   Are my relationships deeply fulfilling?  
*   Am I becoming a more integrated human being, bringing my spirituality into the way I interact with others, being okay with who I am, taking care of myself? 

Am I copping to the fact that I’m the only problem I’ll ever have and the solution too?

Am I accepting people as they are, not expecting them to change? 

Am I being patient with the changes that take time? Am I appreciating all I have? Am I tolerant of those with different struggles?

Am I achieving my goals in all these seven areas: financial and wealth, career, free time/fun, health and appearance, relationships, personal development, community and charity?

Am I connected to all the important sides of my life (personal, family, intellectual, spiritual, recreational)?
