A study <a href=\"http:\/\/greenpeakpartners.com\/what-we-think\/what-predicts-executive-success-green-peak-and-cornell-university-study\">study<\/a> by Cornell University and Green Peak Partners found it was the single greatest predictor of success among executives. That goes for most of us.<\/p>\n<p>Our lives have many domains. Consider your spirituality, psychological and physical health, family, friends, and work. It doesn\u2019t stop there. As Michael says, it\u2019s helpful to see our lives as consisting of <em>ten<\/em> interrelated domains: spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical, marital, parental, social, financial, vocational, and avocational.<\/p>\n<h3>Struggling to keep track?<\/h3>\n<p>A critical insight is that these domains are interrelated. Each one affects all the others. Take work. Job stress can drain our physical and emotional energy, tax our closest relationships, devour our margin for recovery, and more. It\u2019s the same with our physical health and our families. How many people have you seen riding high until an ailment or a divorce brought everything to a screeching halt?<\/p>\n<p>The trouble is visibility. True self awareness means we know how we\u2019re doing in all ten domains. Easier said than done, right? It\u2019s challenging to maintain focus on one area while keeping an eye on all the others. It's like a game of existential Whac-A-Mole.<\/p>\n<p>A few of us don\u2019t even try. We pursue whatever comes easiest and forget the rest. But I bet <em>most of us<\/em> want much more out of life. We just struggle to keep our eye on so many moving targets. We want to build a strong marriage, give our best on the job, and stay connected to our kids\u2014all while making room for friends and pastimes that help us rejuvenate.<\/p>\n<p>We know most things don\u2019t get better on their own. Improvement takes attention. One tool that can provide the visibility we need is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestyearever.me\/lifescore?utm_campaign=bye2018&utm_medium=post&utm_source=MHblog&utm_content=120517post&utm_term=mhcoblogreaders\">LifeScore\u2122 Assessment<\/a>. This is a tool that lets you rate yourself in all ten life domains. It then assigns a numeric value to your answers and calculates your overall LifeScore\u2122.<\/p>\n<h3>How far can you go?<\/h3>\n<p>The score let's you confirm what\u2019s working well already and spot opportunities for improvement. As Michael says, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestyearever.me\/lifescore?utm_campaign=bye2018&utm_medium=post&utm_source=MHblog&utm_content=120517post&utm_term=mhcoblogreaders\">LifeScore\u2122 Assessment<\/a> gives you the clarity you need to design the life you want. This is the third year we've offered the assessment, and one thing we love hearing is how it\u2019s already helped leaders, entrepreneurs, and others make progress toward designing the lives they want.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestyearever.me\/lifescore?utm_campaign=bye2018&utm_medium=post&utm_source=MHblog&utm_content=120517post&utm_term=mhcoblogreaders\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39288\" src=\"https:\/\/fullfocus.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/LifeScore-on-laptop-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fullfocus.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/LifeScore-on-laptop-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/fullfocus.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/LifeScore-on-laptop-1-600x373.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fullfocus.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/LifeScore-on-laptop-1-768x478.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first time I took the LifeScore\u2122 Assessment was a huge wake-up call for me,\u201d said Kelly Thorne Gore, founder and president of <a href=\"https:\/\/ibloom.co\/\">iBloom<\/a>. \u201cI was really strong in certain areas, and I was proud of that. There were certain areas where I was really frustrated.\u201d Seeing the gap gave Kelly insight into what needed her attention next. \u201cThat awareness was a defining point for me,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It was realizing that I had to make some changes. And I was worth it. My family was worth it. It really was the catalyst for creating one of my best years ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe LifeScore\u2122 Assessment has meant everything to me,\u201d said Rick Kloete, president and managing partner for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kloetegroup.com\/\">Kloete Group<\/a>, an executive search firm. Because of the assessment, \u201cI knew where I needed the most improvement and what was most important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steve Anderson, a speaker and industry consultant on technology and its uses in insurance, said the assessment \u201cis a great tool to help you understand more objectively than probably you can on your own where you stand in terms of your goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>How far have you come?<\/h3>\n<p>The score not only tells you where you are, it can also show you how far you\u2019ve come. \u201cI am a numbers guy,\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/marktimm.com\/\">Mark Timm<\/a>, CEO of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cgcollections.com\/\">Cottage Garden<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ziglarfamily.com\/\">Ziglar Family<\/a>, said. \u201cThat's one of the things that I think I liked about the LifeScore\u2122 Assessment. It actually gave me a number I can use to benchmark my progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake it once,\u201d he said, \u201cthat's your baseline, and then take it again. . . . So you can measure the progress that you're making.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The future is built on the present. Our decisions and actions today contribute to the shape of tomorrow. But without a good sense of where we stand right now in all of life\u2019s domains, our decisions will be uninformed and our actions lopsided.
