GET MOTIVATED WITH DPM PERFORMANCE! blog ed. 9

I don't know about you, but I had a great weekend. Got treated to an early birthday present and spent a weekend that involved a punt at the casino, picnic in the bottanical gardens, harbour jet boat ride (a must do if you feel the need for speed!), harley ride around the beaches and an exciting 30 minutes of cricket yesterday afternoon before the rain set in.

Now, I need to recover from all of that and it's time for me, and for you hopefully, to reflect on 2007. Seeing this is the final Monday morning blog for 2007, I'm going to take this self analysis survey from Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich.


SELF-ANALYSIS QUESTIONNAIRE FOR PERSONAL INVENTORY
1. Have I attained the goal which I established as my objective 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?

3. Have I delivered service in the greatest possible QUANTITY of which I was capable?

4. Has the spirit of my conduct been harmonious, and co-operative at all times?

5. Have I permitted the habit of PROCRASTINATION to decrease my efficiency, and if so, to what extent?

6. Have I improved my PERSONALITY, and if so, in what ways?

7. Have I been PERSISTENT in following my plans through to completion?

8. Have I reached DECISIONS PROMPTLY AND DEFINITELY on all occasions?

10. Have I been either ‘over-cautious’ or ‘under-cautious’?

11. Has my relationship with my associates in work been pleasant, or unpleasant? If it has been unpleasant, has the fault been partly, or wholly mine?

12. Have I dissipated any of my energy through lack of CONCENTRATION of effort?

13. Have I been open minded and tolerant in connection with all subjects?

15. Have I been intemperate in any of my habits?

16. Have I expressed, either or openly or secretly, any forms of EGOTISM?

17. Has my conduct toward my associates been such that it has induced them to RESPECT me?

18. Have my opinions and DECISIONS been based upon guesswork, or accuracy of analysis and THOUGHT?

19. Have I followed the habit of budgeting my time, my expenses, and my income, and have I been conservative in these budgets?

20. How much time have I devoted to UNPROFITABLE effort which I might have used to better advantage?

21. How may I RE-BUDGET my time, and change my habits so I will be more efficient during the coming year?

22. Have I been guilty of any conduct which was not approved by my conscience?

23. In what ways have I rendered MORE SERVICE AND BETTER SERVICE that I was paid to render?

24. Have I been unfair to anyone, and if so, in what way?

25. If I had been the purchaser of my own services for the year, would I be satisfied with my purchase?

26. Am I in the right vocation, and if not, why not?

27. Has the purchaser of my services been satisfied with the service I have rendered, and if not, why not?

How did you go. I know it was a bit long winded so that's it for today.

I'll be making another post during the week so be sure to check back and see what's on my mind later in the week.

Have a great Christmas, be safe and make sure that your 2008 is a bigger and better year then this year. I know I will be striving for that myself!
