✨ In Today’s Episode:

• Turn your weekly review into identity reinforcement

• Track momentum, not just metrics

• Use The Scoreboard to design who you’re becoming

The Weekly Scoreboard That Shapes Identity

Design a weekly ritual that tracks your becoming (not just your output)

🧠 ONE Smart Idea

Most founders track what happened.
Few track what mattered.

And almost no one tracks what they became.

That’s where the Scoreboard comes in.
It’s not about logging your to-dos or KPIs.
It’s about closing the loop between identity and action.

When you create a weekly ritual that reinforces your desired identity, your business grows as a byproduct of your becoming.

📖 Story Spark

Years ago, I’d finish a strong week… and forget why it worked.
Other weeks? I’d grind hard but feel totally disconnected from progress.

One Friday, I opened a blank doc and wrote:
“What did I become this week?”

That one question changed everything.

It pulled my focus away from volume and toward vibration.

I started asking myself:

• Did I act like a sovereign founder or a reactive operator?

• Did I protect my clarity or chase urgency?

• Did I stay true to the future version of me?

Eventually, those answers became a template.

That template became a Scoreboard.

And that Scoreboard became a system that kept me aligned every single week—without burnout.

⚙️ Tactical Application: The Weekly Identity Scoreboard

This Scoreboard has 3 parts. The whole thing takes 7 minutes max.

1. Identity Alignment Check
Ask yourself:

• What version of me showed up this week?

• What felt congruent with who I’m becoming?

• Where did I default to the old OS?

2. Core Signal Review
Reflect on these five signals:

• Energy

• Focus

• Intention

• Clarity

• Creativity

Rate each from 1–10. Jot one sentence for why.

3. Founder Evolution Note
Complete the prompt:

This keeps identity in motion, not memory.

Store this in a doc or Notion database. Over time, you’ll start to see trends. Patterns. Breakthroughs.

And instead of just logging tasks, you’ll start logging transformation.

🧭 Intelligent Elevation

This is what it looks like to scale with awareness:
Not just logging effort—but recognizing evolution.

The Scoreboard isn't a tracking system.
It’s an alignment amplifier.

Because when you track who you’re becoming,
you don’t just build a business that performs.
You build a life that reflects your next level of self-leadership.

This is how clarity compounds:
By creating systems that see you becoming.
