These self-evaluations for success will give you an understanding of the NOW position of your attitude, and how to challenge yourself to get to YES!


To make it easier for you to understand where your attitude actually is at this very moment, I’ve created a list for you to rate yourself. It breaks down your attitude into attributes.

The key to this self-evaluation is your self-truth, and your willingness, on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the worst, 10 being the best), to rate your present situation in each of the attitude attributes listed below.

These self-evaluations will show you where you are right now, specific places that you can begin to improve, and challenge you to adopt a YES! attitude of success.

MIND THE GAP

As you rate yourself, you will develop gaps – or opportunities as I prefer to call them. If you rate yourself a 7 out of 10, your gap for improvement is 30%. And the more honest with yourself you are in your self-evaluations, the more gaps will appear.

Gaps are good. They provide SPECIFIC direction. They will tell you EXACTLY what needs improving.

Some of your self-evaluations may hurt a little bit, but the goal in this is to bring you to greater attitude awareness.

Anywhere you score less than 6 is an area that needs real improvement.

The good news is, as you improve each attribute, you narrow your gap, and you become closer to having a YES! attitude.

Here are the attributes. Go slow. Think hard. Be honest.
