The BROJO Mastery Model

The Structure of the Model

The BROJO Mastery Model is based on the principles of schematic learning. Each level of skills is progressively based on the underlying skills - crawling, then standing, then walking, then running, and so on.

Start at the bottom of the pyramid, level 100, and work your way upwards gradually and without rushing, in each area of your life.

Why Does This Exist?

Self-development is exciting. The understanding that you can improve your life to such a dramatic degree, and achieve success in any area you choose, is a powerful realisation.

Many practitioners dive headlong into self-development with little plan or understanding of the practical progression of human psychological development. As such they will pursue the development of over-challenging skills that they are not have the supporting infrastructure in place for - effectively building the roof of their house when the walls are not yet load-bearing.

This tool aims to remedy that problem by offering a clear and practical progression to the levels of psychological development, and the skills and goals needed at each phase.

How to Use this Tool

  • Start at the bottom of the pyramid, level 100.
  • Practice the skills and processes defined there.
  • Progress upward only when you have met the requirements for the next level
  • At any point, you can move back down the pyramid to build a stronger foundation.

Key Points

  • Practicing skills and performing tasks at levels higher than you are ready for is 10X more difficult than necessary, is often wasted effort, and can lead to unhelpful failures.  
  • Investing in the lower levels pushes everything above them up, no matter how advanced you are in the pyramid. Invest in those fundamentals as much as you can.
  • The skills, journaling and progression questions shown here are for general self-development. However you can apply the pyramid to any area you want to develop, e.g. health, fitness, romance, social skills, or starting a business.
  • In different areas of your life, you’ll be at different levels of development.  Health, fitness, career, friendships, family, romantic relationships.
  • LIke any pyramid, the lower layers are thicker and more foundational. It will take time to work through those, but do not let that deter you- your progress will be exponential if you build a solid foundation in your personal development practice.
