#2 Basic Skills and Habits

Welcome back. I'm glad you're here.

Every skill and habit on this page can be learned and grown. You can have a basic understanding of it, or you can grow it all the way to mastery.

What you're doing today is finding where you're at. Read each skill and habit, then pick the level that's true for you today:

1. 1: No one ever taught you this. Anything you know about it, you learned on your own, and you didn't know it was something you could improve or get better at.
2. 2: You see this is something you can learn. You notice that others do it well, and your level is low next to theirs. It's not about comparing; it's about you being able to see, "Well, I don't have that."
3. 3: You can do this, but it takes real effort and real focus to do it really well.
4. 4: Your level is strong. It takes little effort.
5. 5: You have mastered this. People know you're an expert, they ask you to teach them, and they come to you. You're holding a class. A 5 is really rare, and it takes a lot to get to a 5. It's okay not to be a 5 at everything, and no one needs to be.

The best way to evaluate yourself is to be honest and comfortable with your answer, because it becomes very useful. A low number shows exactly where training will change your life the fastest, and a high number shows where you can help change someone else's life the fastest.

Take your time. When you send your answers, I read every one.
