Your overall high-performance score is 3.64 out of 5.
Our research shows that the top 15% of high performers worldwide score an average of 4.76
“What do you think you should focus on to increase your odds at long-term success?”
- Your CLARITY score is 3.5 out of 5. Improving this area gives you greater confidence in who you are, which decisions are right for you at this stage of your life, and what will make you truly healthy, wealthy, and happy. How could you gain more clarity in life right now? A simple thing you could do is to set an intention for who you want to be and how you want to interact with others right BEFORE you enter any social situation.
- Your ENERGY score is 3.17 out of 5. If that score seems too far away from a 5, then it's time to start some new daily practices that can help improve your mental, emotional and physical vibrancy. People really struggle with this one. Personally, my best habit is ensuring my environment is set up for me to win. So, I order organic groceries and stock my house with good food. Nutrition first. Then I protect my sleep and make sure I work out every other day. (The top 15% of high performers are 40% more likely to workout 5x per week!)
- Your NECESSITY score is 3.67 out of 5. This measures the level of emotional commitment you feel to showing up each day as your best. It's your level of “must” in improving your life and serving others with excellence. If you haven't felt as driven or motivated as you want, this is a great area to focus on. Start with asking yourself every day at work, “Who needs me on my A game right now?” Really connect with who you are working for – sometimes we'll do more for others than ourselves, right? The chapter on psychological necessity in my book is probably the most popular of all, so be sure to read that one.
- Your PRODUCTIVITY score is 3.83 out of 5. We've noticed that if you're below a 4.6 on this one, it's REALLY hard to achieve your long-term goals. Maybe it's time to minimize distractions and start some new habits to master your time management and project planning? My suggestion is to NEVER check your email in the first 60 minutes of the workday. Use that time to strategize, get real work done, and reach out to those you are needing a reply from. Stay in offense, not reaction, in that first 60 minutes and you'll win more days.
- Your INFLUENCE score is 4.83 out of 5. This area of your life is EVERYTHING. When we can't get people to believe in us, support us, buy from us, or take the actions we suggest, then it's hard to ever get ahead. A good starting place is to focus on being a great role model, asking a lot of questions, and seeking to be more patient, compassionate and available to others.
- Your COURAGE score: 2.83 out of 5. Do the people around you truly know who you are, what you dream of, what you need? Are you living your truth, taking risks, putting yourself out there? The next level for all of us requires a greater willingness to venture into the unknown despite risks or judgement. Try telling others what you REALLY think or feel more often, and take one small step into the unknown every day.
