- Revised Statement: On June 30, I am a Certified Massage Therapist. Two years from now, I have 40 regular clients.
2- Do I doubt myself because of habitual ways of thinking or lack of self-confidence? What can I do to add more belief and credibility to this particular goal?
3- How can I state this goal is a way I can visualize it better? What details are missing?
Keep a record of new LifeVision ideas and goals you wish to achieve in your journal. It is inevitable that new ideas will come to you.
