Jenny recommends using mind mapping to clearly define your career goals (and goals for all other aspects of your life) at the start of each year. Mind maps are diagrams that connect pieces of related information around a specific topic.
You can create a mind map around your professional goals for the year and why not include your wishes for other aspects of your life including family, friendships, health, fitness, etc.
Mind mapping : 5 principles
- In the center, pose your subject
- According to your inspiration, let go as many branches of this center as you have ideas. Do not hold yourself back … pose the main themes that you want to explore with your company
- To each of the branches you have created, add secondary branches by adding keywords
- Illustrate your keywords with an image. The image will support your mind map and bring it to life
- You can add to your keywords in addition to the image, sensations, smells … The more your 5 senses will be stimulated by your creation, the more the keywords will enter into your reality, in the present
You can also consider establishing a wheel of life to determine the balances that are important for you to maintain in your business.
