What F4S benchmarks against
Optimal performance: the Green Zone motivations
In the F4S Benchmark Report, you’ll find your Green Zone motivations. These are the attitudes that correlate with venture success when compared to Entrepreneurs and Business Builders we studied.
"F4S was an insightful and precise resource for me in mapping the impact of my style between Australian and US business cultures. A highly useful resources for business owners and thought leaders at any stage of business growth."

Risk factors: Red Zone motivations
Far from weaknesses, blind spots are areas that you don't find particularly interesting or motivating. But don't worry—these might be genius attitudes in other domains!
The Red Zone reveals your risk factors in business and the ideal motivations for you to seek in co-founders, teammates, or board members.
We've even got AI and human coaches on deck to help you strategically increase or decrease Red Zone motivations.
"I have used F4S with a number of our start-ups to support investment due diligence; recruitment of co-founders; dealing with team dynamics and co-founder conflict. It is an amazing tool, which has an incredible depth of detail and allows for greater understanding and application."

Why health coaching is important
You might be wondering 'Wait, but isn't health coaching just a pyramid scheme for weight loss programs?'. While it's true that some Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) programs are marketed as wellness coaching, there are many genuine coaches who impact peoples’ lives. Otherwise, there is no correlation between health coaching and MLMs.
Put simply, a health coach is someone who helps people make sustainable lifestyle choices. They guide, support, and encourage their clients to build a healthy lifestyle that works for them. Health coaches are also important allied health partners who can work with medical professionals to achieve better outcomes for their patients.
Research shows that health coaching can have important clinical improvements for a variety of chronic illness risk factors, such as blood pressure, fasting glucose, body weight, BMI and cardiorespiratory fitness². Plus, another study found that 85% of the risk of chronic disease is due to environmental factors³. By helping people carry out beneficial health behaviors, coaches could potentially save healthcare systems millions of dollars down the line.
Health coaching matters on an individual level, too. After all, health isn't just about the absence of diseases but rather, living to your full potential. Research shows that self-described healthy people are 20% happier on average⁴. Plus, they tend to have better career outcomes and earn more money⁵.
When you're healthy, you can show up as the best version of yourself in every part of your life – whether it's with your teammates in the office, or in your personal relationships and family.
