Hints from Your Personal Coach, Dr. Jim

• I suggest you retake the assessment monthly till your reach a score of 80.
• Then retake the assessment quarterly.
• At the beginning of the month or quarter I’ll remind you with an e-mail.
• The Rationale: Our goal is not only help you get to 90 or better, but help you keep the score.
• You only get the benefits of a habit when you have that habit. A habit that you had and lost will no longer give you the benefits you want. Retaking the assessment with the appropriate follow-up actions is one of the unique things I can offer you in the program that will:
• Guide you to acquire the most important habits first.
• Guide you in acquiring all the needed habit to get the most of what you really from life and work.
• Once you have these habits, guide to keep these habits.
• The bottom is to help you get all the benefits these habits offer, and then keep them for life.

• At times, people retake the assessment and score lower the second or third time than the first.
• I have found this happens to a number of people who actually work at improvement. Why would their score go down when they are working at it?
• I call it "Raising Expectations." The second or third time when they are asked a question like, "Do you really know what you really want from life or work?" they answer no. Since the first time, after much thought, they have "raised the expectations." They actually are doing better, because they know themselves better, they want more. Progress is present, even though the score goes down.
• If this happens to you, congratulate yourself. When you keep working at it, you will get much more from your life. And your score will eventually go up.
• Remember, the score is only a way to make the game more interesting and playable.

The real payoff we want is that you accomplish more of what you really want from life and work.
