How to Set Powerful Goals You Can Achieve

January 7, 2020 John Uncategorized No comments

Goals are a sort-of road map on your life’s journey. You want them to be satisfying, yes. But you don’t want them to be too challenging.

In this first of a two part post GenuLines offers a map to guide you on a comfortable and rewarding trip!

How to Set Powerful Goals You Can Achieve

Say you need a fresh start? O.K., you want to challenge yourself, but you don’t want to make things so tough that you fail.

First we’ll look inside, at the things that are important to you. And we’ll make sure that these goals are even doable.

Match Your Core Values

Start with four main areas in your life.

Family
Financial
Physical
Personal

The better you goal fits into one or more of these the more likely your goal is achievable.

If for some reason a goal doesn’t fit into one of your core values, it’s not likely you’ll experience much success.

Be 100 Percent in Control

Goals that rely on others are not necessarily wrong. But they can be harder to achieve.

A goal you control 100 percent is one that you can reach.

Make sure fear isn’t getting in your way. Be realistic about whether you do have control or not and give yourself more credit. And, don’t blame fate for your setbacks.

Don’t think you lack control over your financial future because “that’s just how it is,”

Be Able to Envision the Goal

If you can’t see the end result, it will be very difficult to move forward toward achieving the goal. If you need to draw a picture, make a vision board.

Or take a day off to fantasize about your big dreams. Imagine how it all fits together in the big picture of your life. You need to see the end to be able to achieve it.

Be Specific-Spell It Out

Every goal you set needs to be very exact in nature. If you want to be sure to reach the goal, you have to know when you’ve actually reached it. Instead of saying “I want to start a business,” state exactly what type of business you want to start.

Know who you want as your clients. Know all you can to make the goal more concrete.

Can Vision Boards Help You Believe in Yourself?

July 23, 2019 John Uncategorized No comments

It’s called a vision board. Its purpose is to reinforce some message about yourself or your goals.

But, does it really work?

Today GenuLines looks at the question from both sides.

Can Vision Boards Help You Believe in Yourself?

While “vision board” is not an official definition, it should serve to give you the concept in a nutshell. Are vision boards an effective tool towards helping your self-development?

First, we look at how they work. In general, you place information and pictures on your vision board.

These represent various aspects of your life. They can be personal, professional, or both.

You could have separate vision boards for personal and professional purposes as well.

Vision board pros and cons

One of the most significant benefits of a vision board is you can refer to it whenever you need inspiration. Or if an aspect of your life changes in some way.

You can update the board to reflect those changes.

Another pro (but possibly also a con) is that you can put whatever you want on a vision board. That’s great, but if it doesn’t help you with your goals, it may not be as beneficial to have it on the board.

In fact, it could hinder your progress since it takes up prime real estate on your board.

Remember that nothing is set in stone on your board. If you find something on it that isn’t working, take it down.
