TOTAL OPTIMIZATION COMPASS

The Total Optimization Compass is a self-assessment tool designed to measure alignment, growth, and fulfillment across eight Core Performance Domains. By charting each domain on a percentage scale — reflecting life’s optimal performance range — it provides a clear snapshot of personal balance and pinpoints areas needing refinement to reach True North.

A low Personal Inventory score in any domain signals under performance or misalignment, highlighting gaps between current reality and optimal function. Identifying these weak points allows for a targeted strategy for growth, ensuring no essential area remains stagnant or underdeveloped.

Optimization isn’t about perfection — it’s about continuous, intentional progress.

EXAMPLE AREAS FOR ATTENTION

  • A low score in Health & Vitality may indicate lack of energy, poor habits, or ignored well-being.

  • A low score in Career & Business could reflect lack of motivation, misalignment, or dissatisfaction.

  • A low score in Leadership & Impact might expose a need for deeper contribution or personal growth.

Addressing these shallow conditions sharpens focus, drives action, and accelerates change in the areas that need it most.

SIMPLE MEASURE OF OVERALL LIFE SATISFACTION & BALANCE

  • Beyond individual categories, the cumulative total percentage provides a simple measure of overall life satisfaction and balance. A high cumulative score reflects strong alignment, consistency, and mastery across multiple domains. A lower total suggests a fragmented approach to success, where significant gaps in one or more areas drag down overall fulfillment.

  • By tracking both individual and cumulative performance, the Total Optimization Compass ensures growth isn’t accidental — it’s intentional. Program #1 or Program #2 provides a clear roadmap for progress, to fill your valleys will course-correct and push towards higher levels of achievement, impact, and personal mastery to optimize your life.

  • This tool isn’t just about identifying where you are — it’s about defining where you’re going to take command of your life with precision, and how the program will rocket you on your journey.
