Is It Time For A Personal Inventory

Posted by Nathalie Villeneuve in Personal Growth | 2 comments

An intelligent follower has many advantages, among them the opportunity to acquire knowledge from his leader…An important step to transition from a follower to a leader is to take a serious personal inventory…

Here is a powerful exercise I found in the book “Think And Grow rich”
It is a great idea to do this inventory by answering these questions carefully once a year.

You will be able  to recognize any improvements and remember to ask for help in it’s assessment! Reach out and ask  your coach or a person that will NOT let you to deceive yourself.

Here is the Self-Analysis Questionnaire for a Personal Inventory from Think And Grow Rich…

You might want to copy and paste these questions in a document and file it as important!

I know this list of questions is a little long and you’ll have to spend a considerable amount of time to do this exercise well  but it is crucial that you do. This could be a game changer!

1.Have I attained the goal which I established as my objective for this year?  (You should work with a definite    yearly objective to    be attained as a part of your major life objective).

2.Have I delivered Service of the best possible Quality of which I was capable, or could I have improved any part    of this service?
