Self – Assessment (Important)

Read time — 3 min read
PG

This is the exact system I use every Sunday to review my own performance in my business.

It takes around 2 minutes to complete.

Use it to reflect honestly on what went well, what didn’t, extract the lessons, and integrate them into the next week.

All progress starts when you tell the truth.

If you don’t like the number, don’t justify it. Fix it.

Before pointing fingers at your market, clients, what’s going on in the news or team, point them at yourself.

Audience Growth (20 points)

• Did I post at least three high-quality pieces of social proof? (5)

• Did I speak in front of an audience outside my client community? (5)

• Did I engage with my audience in a way that deepened trust and authority? (5)

• Did I create content that positioned me as the best in my space? (5)

Revenue Generation (20 points)

• Did I make at least three offers per day? (10)

• Did I follow up properly and close deals? (5)

• Did I identify and act on at least one new revenue opportunity? (5)

Team Performance (15 points)

• Did I coach or train my team on something specific? (5)

• Did I challenge my team and hold them to clear standards? (5)

• Did I see evidence of my team taking initiative without being asked? (5)

Personal Energy & State (15 points)

• Did I control my impulses and avoid unnecessary distractions? (5)

• Did I train, eat well, and sleep enough to perform at my best? (5)

• Did I delegate at least one task I shouldn’t have been doing? (5)

Leadership & Impact (15 points)

• Did I materially help and move forward at least five clients? (5)

• Did I lead with clarity and decisiveness rather than reacting? (5)

• Did I say no more than I said yes? (5)

Family & Personal Life (15 points)

• Did I spend intentional one-to-one time with my family? (5)

• Did I compartmentalise work and family properly? (5)

• Did I create a meaningful experience or memory with the people closest to me? (5)

Scoring Rules (0–100)

• Full points if you did it properly

• Half points if you half-did it

• Zero if you didn’t do it

Be ruthless. Abnormal behaviour creates abnormal results.

90–100: High standards

75–89: Solid, but leaking growth

50–74: Playing below your level

Below 50: Coasting

Score yourself this week.

If you’re happy with your score, great. Keep going.

If you’re not, and you genuinely want help fixing the areas above, we’re actively partnering with established founders doing roughly 1–5 million who want more structure, clarity, and direction around growth.

Click here to speak with my team this week.

It’s a short 15-minute conversation to clarify your goals, targets, and biggest constraints.

FYI, there’s a strong chance we’re already fixing what’s holding you back.

The longer you leave it, the more it costs.

Chat Soon,
