12 Important Questions To Ask Yourself…

Even though it is such a busy time of year, I encourage you to follow a practice of the most highly successful people - who regularly reflect on where they have been this year and where they want to go next year.

To make 2008 a year you will be proud of, you need to become ‘the person you want to be’ so you can have ‘the success you want to have’. To help you do this, I have put together the following list of questions to aid your private review of yourself and your life.

  1. When you walk into the room with a prospect, client, or person in a senior management position, do you feel confident you are “enough” and that you will say smart things?

  2. Have you dealt effectively with any person in your life who used to “get to you”, i.e., made you feel very frustrated or deflated

  3. Typically when you look back on your day/week, do you have a feeling of satisfaction that you accomplished what you set out to rather than feeling overwhelmed by what you procrastinated on or busied yourself with?

  1. Did you make significant progress towards an initiative you had been putting off, such as: a career change; reaching out to an intimidating contact; clearing out piles in your office; terminating an employee who brings negative energy to your work life, etc.?

  1. Did you put systems into place so that you are ‘freed up’ to do much more of what YOU want to do?

  1. Do you regularly feel grateful for all you have in your life?

  1. Have you developed an ability to ‘look within’ to know whether you are doing a good job, or is there someone whose expectations you still worry about not living up to (e.g., boss, parent, spouse, colleagues?)

  1. Did you become significantly more clear in knowing exactly what you want for the next chapter in your life?

  1. Do you have the level of confidence in yourself you need to pursue what you truly want in your life, so you can look back on your life and say that you really lived the way you wanted to?

  1. Would you say that you mostly invested your time, energy, and attention into the activities that will help have the results you want rather than putting your time, energy, and attention into what other people want or into things that don’t ultimately bring you what you want?

  1. Did you develop the ability to not take things personally, and instead to stay focused on the results you want for your life?

  1. Did you learn anything new this year that is enabling you to approach your work, personal relationships, or health significantly more effectively?

Do you want to be able to say ‘yes’ to all these questions within 3 months? If these questions remind you that you are putting off living the life you REALLY want or if you are putting out a lot of effort but not living up to your ideal of yourself, here are ways I can guarantee you will make the progress you seek:
