• ❌ Is your mindset and the attitude you have toward yourself having a negative impact on your work? ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “If you're going to see it, if you’re going to see a breakthrough, then you're going to have to be okay with the process that's required. The one thing you need to do, to go where you've never gone before, to have what you've never had before, is to change the way you think. You're at the edge. Watching someone else live, wondering what it's going to be like when you jump without ever jumping. And I'm just here to tell you, I believe you can. I believe it's possible for you to have it. Don't lay on your back. Anything that comes your way you’ve got to be prepared to accept the challenge. Stop thinking about the negative, stop talking about the negative. Ask yourself, what would amazing look like for you?” @motiversity

  • Do you have bad habits that you want to break? I have a simple practice for you that I use daily, if not hourly. The only secret is that you have to take ACTION. Follow me… ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1️⃣ Take a piece of paper and write down your dreams and goals, stick it to your bathroom mirror, save it in the notes on your phone, write them out daily – whatever you do, make them visible.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2️⃣ Wake up every single day and look at it. Set an alarm or a reminder to look over them. Make this a habit in itself.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3️⃣ Every choice that you make, every decision that you make, compare it to your list. Ask yourself; is this going to help my dream become real or is it going to help destroy my dream?⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4️⃣ If the choices that you're making are helping you to achieve your dream, move ahead with that choice. But if the choices you’re making are destroying your dreams, think before you make your next move. Take a step back, reevaluate and make an educated decision.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You have to learn to become mission, goal, dream oriented and not in the moment impulsive, oriented. What you want to become and what you want to achieve is right there. And you have to stop letting the opinions of people that don't really value you or what they think about you, hold you back from breaking free and running at this thing with everything you’ve got.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ This ridiculously beautiful photo is by @kkalerry.

  • 🤔 Why does your story matter? ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your story is your point of difference. And your brand is fundamentally a set of stories. It’s a basic truth that is overshadowed by, to be frank, a bunch of bullshit that marketers tell you that you need to focus on. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You’ll see it on the front page of our website ‘helping conscious founders take a HUMAN FIRST approach in business and life’. It’s there for a reason, because it’s important. People buy because they trust. People trust brands with soul. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I don’t know about you, but at this point in time I feel like the world could do with a bit more soul, purpose, kinship and positive contribution. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, what does ‘human first’ mean? The power in a brand lies in its individual characteristics, similar to our own. There are common principles that we can follow and address when developing a human first brand, see below. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➡️ Affinity. Think about how much more you appreciate and like someone when they are empathetic toward you and understand what you’re going through. Channel that concept throughout your brand, communications and overarching strategy and you’ll make a deeper connection with your customers or clients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➡️ Transparency + Trust + Positive Relationship + Loyalty + Long Term Devotion + Word of Mouth Marketing = Your next trusting customer or client and a prosperous business with longevity. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➡️ Values. Your brand character is defined by its values. Over time your brand personality may develop and evolve but typically your values will stand the test of time.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I cannot stress enough how much POWER and CUT THROUGH your brand will have when it has a strong, human first story backing it. Shoot me a DM if you have any questions about the above, it’s one of my favourite parts of the brand strategy development process.

  • 🛑 Holding on is holding you back. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ah perfectionism, a seemingly positive concept. What could be better than being perfect? Au contraire, mon cheri. Perfectionism is a real problem because it stops people from sharing with the world the more imperfect (but still incredible) things they create.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re experiencing resistance in letting go of control in your work or life, continue on. Let’s dig into the benefits of embracing imperfection and how doing so will give you a wonderful sense of freedom.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉 Let Go. Of your expectations, of your perceived limitations, of your fear of being wrong, of the possibility of failing, of what you think you should look like, of what you think you sound like, of how intelligent you think you need to be, of what you think you should be wearing, of the possibility of making a fool of yourself… ALL. OF. IT. Get out of your own way and accomplish the things that you have the ability to achieve. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉 Start with Imperfect. There is always room for improvement. This should not stop you, rather it should encourage you. At every turn, at every attempt, you will get better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉 Perfectionism = Fear. The truth behind perfectionism is that it is a form of fear. The good thing about fear is that it is a mental state, not a physical one. Any fear, can be changed and overcome.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What one person may find perfect, another will disagree. That is just the way it is. Life is all about successes and failures, and that is how we grow and become better people, just as our ideas grow to be better from repeated failures.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⚡ I created my free eBook with this concept in mind. It allows you to take a good look at what you’re telling yourself and debunk those stories to allow room for truth and growth.

  • 😭 Guys, are you KIDDING me?! Thank you for all of the LOVE on the launch of the new #burnandbloom website yesterday. It only took a good bit of courage and some loving banter from my Dad and partner to get this thing live. ⁣ ⁣ As a designer, you want to rebrand every 5 seconds and like every creative, you think what you create is utter trash most of the time. But, I’m here to tell you friends, that when you dig into that resistance, disarm it and honour the part of yourself that deserves the win (whatever it may be), magic happens. ⁣ ⁣ Speaking of magic, I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with some larger than life humans in recent years. All of which were kind enough to share their feelings about our 1:1 strategy sessions together. 🙏⁣ ⁣ If any of the above speaks to you and you’re interested in booking a session (or more, which I highly recommend – because hello accountability and showing up for yourself consistently) – head on over to burnandbloom.com/services. Book in for a free chat and we can look at what type of session or package is the best fit for you. ➡️⁣ ⁣ ✨ Thank you, AGAIN.
