5 Creative Ways to
Weave Your Passion Into Your Brand
A brand has both voice and face - a personality to match everything that comes out under that single label, under that one name that people will get to know. If your true desire is to create an impact that will cause people to reach out for the best inside them and create a change for the better in their life - then your own life has to be the mirror image of everything you are offering and sharing.
1.
Transition from seeing yourself merely as an entrepreneur who has something to sell, even though you genuinely wish to help with a specific outcome for a specific problem - to being a visionary who will not only resolve something your dream client feels stuck on but who will be the person who opens their eyes to see the bigger picture life has to offer. Inspire, teach, and give unreservedly - on top of what you are selling - and then you will truly serve as the light of love in this world. We need you to be all of these things to be a leader in your field.
2.
Always move from the place of knowing that nothing was built in a day. However, with patience and love, amazing visions come into full realisation. If your focus is on finding daily refinement in yourself this will reflect in everything you do. Your business will flourish when you give it your best energy, and I know it is obvious, but sometimes it is necessary to still say it: when you invest time, compassion and love in building yourself one brick at a time - the results will start astonishing you in a very short amount of time. Be meticulous about this and trust completely that the reward will come.
3.
“The single best investment is investing in yourself.” - said Tony Robbins. Give yourself the full artistic freedom in translating this to the language of your soul. Remember, whatever meaning you give it - is true. Staying consistent doesn’t mean that you stay the same. Trust that following your path will lead you to explore many unseen vistas. Stay consistent with how you see yourself, how you define your experience, believe without reservations because you will be seeing what you believe. There are no exceptions to this. If you think you’re a winner, you’ll find the way to win. The opposite is true as well, so identify who you want to become and up-level the way you control your thinking. Make sure it is serving you, because if it isn’t serving you - then you will not be able to serve others.
4.
Let everything you do come from your heart. That way there is no possibility of a mistake. Even if you are misunderstood, you will be at peace knowing that you gave your all. People need the best version of you and you want to give them the best version of yourself. Smash through every single thing that you still think is holding you back. Because it really isn’t. You are that thing, or rather you are letting your thinking mind (with its limitations) hold you back. It’s OK to let go and surrender to something bigger than you to guide you. Find it in your heart and lead from that place inside your being. Don’t look for wisdom out there - because the greatest wisdom is looking through your eyes from within. It’s closer than you dream.
5.
When it comes to serving others with passion (and if you are creating a brand that is exactly what’s at the core of your mission), you simply cannot overlook the fact that 80% of the success is psychology and only 20% is strategy. If the four points above aren’t crystal clear and resonant with you already - it doesn’t matter what strategy you have figured out. In order for it to work - you have to be in charge of your logical, thinking (and often misleading) mind.
Just to help a smidge, belief is nothing else but a thought you have repeated often enough - and now you have formed your identity around those beliefs. Your definition of you is not who you are, and if you let the false beliefs dominate your state of being - they will destroy you. The great news is that once detected and brought into full awareness (that is the exact intention behind these words!), erased, replaced, or dropped - they will seize to have any power over you. Once you are in command of your thoughts, your beliefs can in fact create the desired outcome, and make you into the person you want to become. Grow and adapt, and if you become good at this - you’ll reach exactly where you want to go.
Now, make a distinction between the necessary work and the illusion: discipline is good, it will help you train yourself at developing great (winning) habits, whilst effort will keep tripping you up and pointing out that you have fallen out of alignment with your inner guidance. Learn to trust it - that’s a game-changer for everything else.
Have some fun with this. Keep your mind open, and even better - disengaged. Again, don’t worry, I know it may sound counterintuitive at the beginning of this process, but I promise you: surrendering to your inner guidance is the best decision you will ever make for your creativity in all areas of life. It will set you free.

I truly couldn’t tell you any more whether I challenge myself, or the right challenge appears at the right time independent of me. That is a little joke, of course, just to see if you are still with me. Just as I was thinking one thing is a priority, another area of my work shifts into focus, and I am so grateful for the fine-tuning that has helped me in the past few years to always follow my highest resonance, trusting that it’s going to connect and lead to all areas being perfectly aligned. It’s definitely a fine dance, an art, a language, and a co-creation between the individual expression of the soul and the higher self, with the higher self directing the moves.
I know, now you are wondering how is this an update on 365 Days to Dream? See, I was willing to say OK, I will slow down with this project as I cannot make it a top priority at this moment, trusting that it is unfolding in my best interest and within the intention that was set - when the latest challenge put that plan into focus and what I thought were just ideas, now became visions, and I am close to starting with the brush and paint, hammer and nails, frames, layouts and shelves, and all that fun stuff….

If we were to take all these updates on 365 Days to Dream on the Pure d’esprit blog and compile a list of feelings that were highlighted in point #2 of each update - I am sure we would see the continuity of gratitude, excitement for the blessings of creative energy and peaceful joy as a recurring theme. That is exactly how I have been feeling since even before starting this particular journey, but recording it has helped me notice and appreciate it even more. Today I am so in focus (even though there are always at least three balls up in the air), but I am confident in the calm and uplifting joy that inspires me to find the best inside me each day and act from that state of being. I am committed to continuing this for as long as I live.

So much happening at the moment. I am actually waiting for my car to come back from the maintenance check so that I can get to buy those fabulous paints. I am so excited to start the hands-on projects (some are weather depending, and some just fitting it in between the appointments and teaching sessions, but it is all coming together). It is so exciting! Thank you for your continued support on this journey. I am sending you the best vibes and I hope my sharing of this journey inspires you to take massive action and reach for those biggest dreams you have for your life.
