The Path → Aspect 6: Income → Income: Self Review
Purpose
This section exists to support honest self-assessment.
Its role is not to judge, optimise, or prescribe. Its role is to help you see your current position clearly.
What This Section Is
This section provides
structured self-inquiry
reflective prompts
space to notice drift, alignment, and constraint
It is a tool for building awareness.
What This Section Is Not
This section is not
a performance review
a diagnostic test
a pass/fail exercise
a substitute for responsibility
Your honest observation leads to meaningful change.
Orientation
Self-review requires honest objectivity.
You will drift from your Values, Goals, and The Path. That is normal.
The quality of your outcomes depends less on avoiding drift, and more on how quickly and accurately you notice and respond to it.
Process
Move through the questions below one at a time.
Pause before answering.
Notice defensiveness, justification, or avoidance.
Aim for accuracy, not reassurance.
Use the Self Review Worksheet in The Workbook if capturing your thoughts helps clarify them.
After reviewing
do any Models & Theories need adjustment?
are there Lessons you haven’t integrated yet?
are there Tactics that would help in specific situations?
Whatever you observe, treat it as information.
Then decide what to do next.
Self Review
A series of questions designed to help you
surface assumptions
identify misalignment
clarify priorities
recognise constraints
