The Reckoning
Don't wait for the call. Grab the keys and go.
Seven questions. Sixty seconds on the ones that ask you to write. Answer fast. First thought, ugly handwriting, no editing.
At the end you'll see where your energy is stuck and which stage of transition you're standing in.
Nothing you write is sent anywhere. It stays in this browser so you can come back to it, and you can clear it at the end.
Where does your energy actually live right now?
A dozen eggs. They all start in your main work. Move them to where your energy really goes. Not where you wish it went.
Where did your energy go this year? Not where you meant it to go. Where it went.

Which of these sounds like something you said this morning?

This is the first page of the reckoning. The rest happens one on one. If something here won't leave you alone, send it to me. I read every one before we speak, so we begin the conversation from exactly where you are.
Grab the keys opens an email to me with your reckoning already in it. If your email doesn't open, it's copied for you. Paste it into a message to john@themarklandstudio.com
You are worth fighting for.
