21 Essentials to Manhood Assessment

Imagine you and I are standing at this mountain top. We've just hiked a long trail, turned the corner, and now we see this amazing view. Wow! What a moment on the peak! A few minutes ago we had our heads down trying not to trip up the hill. Now our world just opened up. You can see everything! Makes my heart come alive thinking about it... It's these moments that are memorable, defining, and inspiring.
 
Let me ask you, what's the most important thing we would be talking about?  Only you can answer that question... Whatever your answer... I'm in! I want to hear, learn, and encourage you my friend! 
 
I've learned a few minutes of reflection opens up the heart and gets you ready for the really important conversations.  
 
Before we step off the mountain top we need to have some idea of where we are going next. I need your feedback for the most important steps for your journey towards maturity as a man. The 21 Essentials represent tracks on the larger trail. Your survey will help map out the course for you.

In what should take 5-7 Minutes of your time I have crafted 30 Questions to help give you a focus as your enter the 21 Essentials. 
 
We are creating a baseline to benchmark your growth and development as a man!  There's no right or wrong answers, we are simply getting a bearing where to go next on your journey toward manhood. As you read each description of the 21 Essentials use the following grid for your responses. 
 
  1. Stumble- You've fallen! - It's hard to get up and moving again. You feel a little lost. You're trying to get your bearings.
  2. Struggle- Internal battle - It's 1 step forward and 2 steps back. Your weak but you know you need to grow.
  3. Stretch- Development Focus - Committed to Seeing Progress
  4. Strength- Discipline/Habit - Energizing, Life Giving, Sweet Spot 
  5. Success- It's a Victory! - You're Serving, Encouraging, and Blessing People in your Life
