Scoring & Results

Each section has a maximum score of 25.

20–25

Strong System This area is supporting you well. Keep refining it, not rebuilding it.

13–19

Inconsistent You have the right ideas, but they’re not locked into a repeatable system yet. Where can you build consistency through habits?

5–12

Weak or Missing This area is likely causing frustration, inconsistency, or burnout without you realizing it. What is your current system, it should not be too tough to identify the holes and start committing to patching them up.

Which section score the lowest and what action would improve that skill to make it stronger?

If one area stood out as weaker than expected, that’s not a failure, it’s information. This is exactly what we work through inside Live Local, building systems that support you when motivation fades.

Alright, reflection time is over, get back to work as we get closer and closer to warm marketing mastery.
