Getting more than you need is the first step to sustainable success. Wise people have a reserve of
things—such as time, money, supplies, capacity, love, people, opportunities, and so on. But a re-
ally wise person builds a super reserve of such things. What’s the difference between a reserve and
a super reserve? With a super reserve you don’t just have more than enough

—

you have more than

enough to free your mind up to focus on more creative and productive pursuits than mere survival.
Remember, we are all programmed first and foremost to survive

—

not to prosper. So the Super Re-

serve process is more than conspicuous consumption or a Fort Knox type of stockpiling. Rather, it
is the responsible, wise thing to do if you want to make the most of what you have. An inordinate
amount of our personal energy or bandwidth is spent being concerned about surviving. A super
reserve quiets that fear and provides us with enough resources to be our best.

The Super Reserve program consists of 100 items that, when achieved, give you the freedom you
want because you then will have much more than you need, personally and professionally.

The program is designed to be used in conjunction with the Reserve program or with your profes-
sional coach.

Instructions

There are four steps to completing the Super Reserve program.

Step 1: Answer each question.

If true, check the circle. Be rigorous; be a hard grader. If the statement is sometimes or usually true,
please do not check the circle until the statement is virtually always true for you; you get no credit
until it is really true. If the statement does not apply to you, check the circle. If the statement will
never be true for you, check the circle. You get credit for it because it does not apply or will never
happen. You may also change any statement to fit your situation better.

Step 2: Summarize each section.

Add up the number of checked circles for each of the ten sections and write those amounts where
indicated.

Step 3: Color in the checklist provided.

If you have nine checks in the Home and Comfort section, for example, color in the bottom nine
boxes of column 1, and so on. Always work from the bottom up. The goal is to have all sections
filled in. In the meantime, you have a current picture of how you are doing in each of the ten ar-
eas.

Step 5: Keep playing until all boxes are filled in.

You can do it! This process may take 30 or 360 days, but you can achieve a perfect score on the Re-
serve Index. Use your coach to assist you. And check back once a year for maintenance.
