Completion Checklist - Part 1

Time for the formal completion assessment. This runs across two lessons — today covers Units 1 and 2 (Goals/Games and Risk), tomorrow covers the rest.

The checklist matters. Not as a bureaucratic exercise, but as a forcing function for honesty. It’s easy to feel like you’ve completed something. It’s harder to go item by item and verify that each piece is in place.

How to Use the Checklist

Mark each item one of three ways:

Yes — this is genuinely in place. Not perfectly, but functionally. You could demonstrate it if someone watched your life for a week.

Partial — some progress but not fully operational. You’ve done the work, you understand it, but it’s not consistent yet. Some days it’s there, some days it isn’t.

No: hasn’t landed. Either the interior work didn’t complete, the action wasn’t taken, or the skill hasn’t transferred to daily life.

Be honest. Partial is not failure. No is not failure. They’re data points. They tell you what needs more work. Marking things “yes” when they’re “partial” is the only real failure here, because it means you’ll leave Level 7 with unfinished business pretending to be finished business.

Goals and Games Assessment

Go through each one:

Goals at edge of capacity. Are your current goals genuinely challenging? Not comfortable. Not overwhelming. At that sweet spot where you have to stretch but can reach? If your goals feel easy, they’re too small. If they feel impossible, they’re too big. The edge is where growth happens.

Games being played willingly. Are you engaged in your life’s activities by choice? Or are you grudging through obligations, avoiding the games you want to play, going through motions without real engagement? Willingness means you chose it and you’d choose it again.

Free relationship with goals and games. This is the subtle one. Can you set a goal without being desperate about it? Can you fail at a goal without being destroyed? Can you play a game without the outcome defining your worth? Freedom means the goal matters but doesn’t own you.

Capacity expanded. Can you have more than before? More success, more money, more connection, more recognition, more joy? Not theoretically — actually? When good things come, do you let them in? Or do you deflect, minimize, or sabotage?

Risk and Expansion Assessment

Taking calculated risks regularly. Not once. Not in theory. Regularly. As a pattern. You assess opportunities, make informed bets, and act. This should be part of how you operate, not an occasional event.

Investment/expansion strategy in place. Do you have a plan for how you’re growing? Not a rigid five-year plan, but a general direction with specific next steps. Are you investing resources — time, money, energy, attention — in your expansion? Or is everything going to maintenance?

Risk assessment habitual. When an opportunity appears, do you automatically evaluate it? Upside, downside, probability, timeline? Or do you either jump in blind or avoid it entirely?

Leverage used appropriately. If applicable to your situation — are you using resources to multiply your effort? Other people’s skills, tools, systems, capital? Or are you still doing everything yourself because letting go feels too risky?

Scoring

Count your yes, partial, and no marks.

All yes: You’re solid in these areas. They’re genuinely operational.

Mostly yes with some partial: Normal and fine. The partial items need some attention but the foundation is strong.

Mix of partial and no: These areas need more work before Level 7 is complete. Go back to the specific lessons and exercises.

Mostly no: Something fundamental didn’t land. This isn’t about effort — it might be about approach. Consider whether you need to revisit these units from a different angle.

Today’s Practice

Go through the checklist above. Mark each item honestly.

For any “partial” items, write one sentence about what’s missing. What would turn it from partial to yes?

For any “no” items, write what happened. Why didn’t this land? Is it an interior-work issue, an integration issue, or an action issue?

This assessment continues tomorrow with the remaining areas.
