Andy Neary describes a life balance sheet: grading yourself across health, business, relationships, and spirituality to spot what's working and what isn't. In his group, members share their sheets each night and get feedback from others, a vulnerable practice that surfaced insights he didn't expect.

A life balance sheet is your way of going through your life today and looking at different parts of your life, whether it's your health, your business, your relationships, your spirituality. And it's a way to just kind of grade yourself on what you're doing in those areas and how you're doing and where you could be better. And so each night, two or three of the guys in the group got a chance to go through their balance sheets in front of everybody else. And it's a very vulnerable experience because you're, quote, unquote, getting naked in front of everybody else because you're talking about what's going well in your business, what's not going well, you're talking about what's going well in your relationships, what's not going well. And then after you go through your balance sheet, you give the rest of the guys an opportunity to give you advice. And one by one, we go around the circle and every guy has an opportunity to say a couple things they appreciate about you. And at the same time, they have an opportunity to make some suggestions on where you could be doing better in certain areas. So that was a really eye opening experience for me.
