I went into Sabine’s Vision Board workshop with the intention of mulching an image of my new brand. I had been trying to put all the pieces together for some time but felt stuck. What came out had nothing to do with my brand and everything to do with me. It wasn’t my business that needed a makeover, it was me.

When my board was finished, there was not a single thing related to my business. Instead, I had cut images of things like, be a present mother, meditate, stop biting my nails, walk barefoot in nature and write, write write. It was like my subconscious was telling me, “Hey, it’s all good if you want to take your business to the next level, but let’s pull the weeds first eh? Let’s focus on you.”

6 months later, I look at the board that hangs above my printer. I have accomplished nearly every item on the board. As for the focus of my brand, when the soil is rich, things grow without much meddling.
