The Wheel of Life

· The Wheel of Happiness, Fun or even Excitement! Do you need help to create more
happiness, fun or excitement in your life? Well, identify 10 areas or things that are fun or
make you excited or happy. There are different ways to score this - you could score how
satisfied you are with each area, or how MUCH each area excites you, or how much you
WANT to 'do' or feel drawn to each area. It depends on the labels you've used. Then
decide on an action or commitment for each segment. Tip: Ask yourself ‘How could you
bring more of each segment into your life?

· Getting a Deeper Understanding. Use the wheel to drill down into each area and help
understand your life and issues more deeply. So, take one of the segments and write out a
further 10 areas that make up that segment for you. Eg. a 'Finance' wheel could include
saving for a house, budgeting, focusing on buying needs and not wants, saving for a rainy
day, paying off debts, getting a pay-rise etc. Tip: This is great homework - to identify areas
to bring to work on.

· The Wheel of Compassion. There are few of us who couldn't do with more self-compassion.
Ask for 10 areas where you could be more kind or compassionate with yourself. Score HOW
compassionate you are currently - and identify an action for the top 3 areas that need
kindness or compassion most.

· Set More Meaningful Goals. The Wheel of Life is a great way to help when struggling to
identify goals. Low scores point to areas where a goal could be identified to raise the
score. And high scores suggest areas where a goal could really BOOST you and skyrocket

your life. When we work on where we're already doing well - this spins off into other areas in
our lives and lifts them too. Tip: This is great for business and career/executives - to ease
clients into thinking about their personal lives - which we know will, of course, benefit their
careers and businesses in the long run.
· The Wheel of Priorities. Label your Top 10 priorities - across work, home, relationships -
basically the priorities in life overall. First, identify your Top 3 priorities. Then score the
satisfaction out of 10 for all the areas. This approach can also be used to look at a specific
area of life eg. career, finances or even to prioritise goals! Tip: What do you notice? How
does the score for your Top 3 priorities compare to the lower priorities? Do you have your
priorities 'straight' or do you need to shift your focus? What actions could you take?

· The Wheel of Sales (or Wheel of Marketing). A wheel can also be used to help identify
actions rather than identify and score 'areas' to work on. So, take a blank wheel and ask
your business clients to identify sales or marketing actions to complete in the next month
(or key actions to complete in the coming year). I recommend having a Sales Wheel AND
a Marketing Wheel as although they're related they are different disciplines. Tip: You could
also pre-fill some of the wheel for them so a Marketing Wheel might include social media,
networking, advertising, workshops, a newsletter and a Sales Wheel might include clarifying
a sales process or funnel, writing a script for complimentary sessions, calling enquiries back,
creating an entry level product, reading about Sales.
