SELF ANALYSIS COMBATS SELF PARALYSIS 
The fact is that if you can clearly identify where you’re currently at, you can thenmake the necessary adjustments in order to become better.In this article I am going to share with you two analysis exercises that will assist you in warding off paralysis in life. So many people are simply treading water, when it comes to living, and one of the major reasons for this is that they really don’t fully understand who they are and what they have been born for. They haveno purpose and so their life is purposeless. If this is you, you can put a stop to ittoday by undertaking these exercises with the utmost honesty. For there is oneperson whom you cannot truly lie to, and that is yourself. Be truthful and thetruth will set you free. It is my prayer for you that as you undertake thesefollowing two tasks that it will be one of the most liberating experiences you havehad in your entire life.This first self-analysis has been drawn and adapted from a fabulous book entitled‘You Inc.’ by John McGrath. The response of my team to this analysis was so goodthat I have decided to share it with you.Even though I am applying it to the website design business, you can adapt it to whatever you do in your own life. This is a great exercise to do on your own, but if  you really want it to have a lasting impact on your life, ask another person, whom you can trust, to do the exercise with you. It may be your partner, your businessassociate or even your staff.The first question raised was: What would the best website salesperson on theplanet look like? What would their strengths be? How would they look? How  would they act? What habits would they have?MAKE A LIST OF ATTRIBUTES…Then list these attributes and rate yourself on each of these attributes from 0 to10, with 10 being the best, and zero the worst. If you’re completely honest theaverage rating is usually between 5 and 7 for most of the skills.Is 6 or 5 or 7 out of ten going to help you market websites? NO! The problem isthat a lot of us have been living our lives at 6 out of 10.The good news though is that the first step towards living a 10 out of 10 life iscreating awareness that there’s room for improvement. Just by doing thisexercise you start to take control of your life and begin thinking about how toimprove your ratings.Now let’s make a plan. Write down a few things that you could do to improve your ratings in key areas.Now in order to be motivated, think how your life would be if you were operatingat an 8, 9, or even a 10 in all those areas. As these increase you will see your sales increasing, your income increasing, and your financial situation improving. You’ll also see your self-esteem rising, stressdecreasing, and as a result your relationships will be better.Focusing on the positive outcomes of the changes will give you the impetus toactually make changes. By focusing on your rewards rather than any pain that
 
 you have to go through to get there will help you stick with your changes.20 LIFE CHANGING QUESTIONSIt is in the times of silence that my goals and dreams shout the loudest. With penin hand and a piece of paper before me, my thoughts are able to jump from my mind onto the page as I concentrate them on my future and analyse my presentand past. I make it a habit to take myself off somewhere quiet; sometimes to apark, a restaurant, or to a library or beside a lake. It doesn’t really matter where, but at that moment in time my entire focus is to reach into the depths of my mindand heart to discover what dreams lie lurking below the surface. Some of thegoals or ideas discovered are for the next six months, while others may take yearsto materialize.The busier I get, the more time I take out to think. The more projects I take on board, the more I need to get refreshed and recharged as I take the next steps. Ialso use the time to not only chart the future, but to also evaluate the past andpresent activities that I am engaged in. A journey begun must be kept on coursethrough the habit of making regular checks and balances. How do you do this? By asking yourself some simple questions. ‘Is the path that I originally embarked on,moving me closer to my original goal? Have I replaced the basics of success with busyness?’ For it is possible to be so busy that you have become ineffective.Remember, that it is not how many times you shoot that will make the difference;it is how many times you hit the target that counts. If you are missing the mark,and not making significant progress in reasonable time, then maybe you need toreadjust your aim or get some good advice from a professional marksman in yourline of business.It pays to be honest in your own self-evaluation. If you find this difficult to do,then ask your partner or a close friend to assist in the process. Build into your lifea regular, self-development check-up. Put yourself under the spotlight and give yourself a personal development x-ray. Look in the mirror, and face up to the factthat you may still need some further growth in certain areas of your life. (If youever think you’ve arrived you’re in big trouble.) Anyone who can seriously evaluate their life is heading not only on to the road of success, but has in fact gotoff the beaten track and is set to start cruising on the freeway of success.Now for the second analysis. I previously published this under the title ‘20Questions’. But once again, having my team do this analysis emphasised to me onhow powerful this analysis tool, that I created, really is. So here it is once againfor your benefit…and if you have already competed it once before, may Ichallenge you to do it again. You may be surprised how far you’ve come since thelast time you completed it.To help you in this process of self analysis answer the following questions…1. My greatest strengths are…? _______________________________________________________ ___________ _______________________________________________________ ___________ _______________________________________________________ ___________2.
