Self-Analysis Questionnaire for Personal Inventory

Men are paid not merely for what they know, but for what they do with what they know.
Before you can control conditions, you must first control yourself.

Men who succeed reach decisions promptly, and change them, if at all, very slowly. Men who fail, reach decisions, if at all, very slowly and change them frequently and quickly.

Indecision and procrastination are twin brothers.

People who succeed keep open minds and are afraid of nothing.

Everyone wants more, but it is something entirely different to be worth more.

Annual self-analysis is essential in the effective marketing of personal services.
Your yearly analysis should have a decrease in faults and an increase in virtues.
The annual analysis will disclose whether advancement has been made, and if so, how much.
Take this inventory by asking yourself the following questions.
