The Maximum Life Questionnaire — includes questions that can become a guideline for compiling your Maximum.
Your life’s work
- In what area of activity do you think it is right to invest? (Difficult to answer positively, first formulate negatively: not sport, not trade, but rather … What?)
- What is your standard of living: you are a worthy person (a respected employee), you are a big person (the president of a serious company), a great person (a real contribution to the culture or industry of Russia).
If you write that you will be a good employee and receive a decent salary, you have a question:
- Well, you will honestly earn money. There are many people in life who honestly earn money for themselves. How will you stand out — so much so that you can talk about life is not ordinary, but about the maximum life?
If you write that you want to organize your own business and become the director of a successful company, you have a series of questions:
- Why do you think that you will be the director of the company? What do you have (will be) such that the position of the director was (becomes) rightfully yours?
- Why do you think the firm will be successful? What is truly guaranteed?
- Why do you decide that the firm should be small (or large)? Is this how life is supposed to be or…?
- And once again: well, you will have a company and you will honestly earn money. There are many people in life who honestly earn money for themselves. How will you stand out — so much so that you can talk about life is not ordinary, but about the maximum life?
- I hope your company will bring you a good income. What are you doing and how are you going to spend it, what is your maximum interesting for life here?
If you have your own humanitarian project, then:
- Where will you get the necessary money for it? Time? Forces? Companions?
Life skills and abilities
Here write down your worldly skills and abilities that you have and what you plan to have when you reach the Maximum life. As an example, here is a fragment from the Maximum of one quite successful person:
- I am healthy, I almost never get sick, I work 12 hours a day, seven days a week. A healthy lifestyle is provided (regime, proper nutrition, ice dousing and other hardening, physical education).
- Physical level: pull-ups 15 times, good — running, tennis, swimming, yoga, karate. It is provided: pull-ups (daily), a well-thought-out complex of yoga and karate warm-up (or both) (daily), jogging every other day, iron and swimming twice a week, tennis, except for winter, once a week. Very good massage.
- The basics of ballroom dancing, fluent in a disco, waltz, the ability to lead a partner, to be the center of attention at dances.
- Driving is good, English is average. Master of golden hands: carpenter — good, carpenter — excellent, electrician, plumber and seamstress — average. General inventor. Speed reading is good, blind typing. Advanced computer user, WORD is perfect, Corel is fluent, everything else related to the computer is good. A poet, the ability to write (and speak) vividly and convincingly — at the level of the requirements of practice. Artist, designer, layout designer, advertising business — good.
- A charismatic leader, an experienced and successful leader, a specialist in NOT, the basics of accounting, secretarial work, of course.
- The husband is excellent in all respects, an excellent teacher, a skilled father.
Obviously, all this came (will come) not by itself, but through work and study. What kind of work and study in similar areas do you plan for yourself? What are the deadlines? What are the priorities? Who will help?
Your personal life: family and children
- If you write that you will be a good mother (father) and raise good children, you have a question: Well, you will raise good (healthy and intelligent) children. There are many parents in life who have successfully extended themselves in children. How will you stand out — so much so that it will be possible to talk about your personal life, not ordinary, but about the Maximum Life? Will your children (by the way, how many will there be?) will be just smart, healthy and decent people, or something outstanding? In what way will your children have to excel you?
- Children are not made alone, but together, and in order for you to have cool children, you must have a great wife (you must have a great husband). How will this be guaranteed?
- To become a father — a model for children, you must become a charismatic leader in the family, enticing people (wife, children, and relatives) with you. How are you planning to provide it? (Similarly: to become a wife…)
- Calculate how much time your personal life will require and how much — Business, and be puzzled: due to what, do you think, you will succeed in the impossible — to combine a successful personal life and a successful Business?
- And if you have to make a choice between them (which is very likely), will you choose which — and why? How will you decide the elections: business or love? Favorite (regular or constant) or children?
For a woman, the choice: husband or children? My business or Husband’s business?
Summary
It is important that, based on the strong and reasonable goals you have set, you now fill your life to capacity, begin to live and teach yourself in the most energetic way. Accordingly, according to the results of the Maximum:
- make a general list of necessary skills that need to be learned
- rank it in order of importance and priority,
- under those points that turned out to be important — select specific options for studying: I want to learn English — which specific courses will you go to?
- make an estimate of the plan, when and what (what skills) you plan to learn in the near future (a year or two or three)
- make a schedule for your month, day and week that provides the right lifestyle for you, so that every hour of your life will start working in the best possible way for your Maximum.
