Business Vision Board: BLOOM Edition

A Creative Business Vision Board Workshop When was the last time you stopped working IN your business and actually thought about what you want FROM it? Not just your next goal. Not what you need to post this week, what needs to get done, how many clients you need or what everyone else seems to be doing. But the bigger picture. What are you actually trying to grow? Maybe you want more clients, more money or a new offer. Maybe you want more freedom, more creativity, more confidence or more time. Maybe your business is going really well, but the way you're running it doesn't feel quite right anymore. Maybe you're changing direction. Maybe you're at the very beginning with an idea you can't stop thinking about. Or maybe you know you want something different, you're just not quite sure what that looks like yet. BLOOM is a creative evening to step out of the day-to-day of your business and reconnect with the vision behind it. We'll look at where you are now, what you're growing towards and what you actually want your business to look and feel like. And then we'll bring that vision to life. Your business. Your way. Business can get very noisy. There are strategies, formulas, algorithms, funnels, experts and approximately 700 people on Instagram telling you the thing you absolutely must be doing. Sometimes we get so busy trying to build a successful business that we forget to ask whether we're actually building one we want. So this isn't a business strategy workshop. We're not giving you a formula for what your business should look like. Instead, we're creating some space to get curious about your version of it. The money you want to make. The people you want to work with. The things you want to create. The impact you want to have. The hours you want to work. The freedom you want. The opportunities you'd love to call in. The parts you want to grow. And maybe even the parts you're ready to stop doing altogether. You might walk away with a huge new idea. You might realise you're already heading in the right direction. Or you might notice one small thing you want to do differently. There isn't a right answer. We'll start with your BLOOM tree 🌱 Before we get into vision boards, goals or plans, we're going to start somewhere a little different. With a bare tree. We'll use some simple prompts to get you thinking about your business and what you want more of. More money? More freedom? More creativity? More clients? More confidence? More time? More impact? More fun? Or maybe something completely different. Then you'll start adding to your tree using fingerprints, colour and words, slowly bringing those bare branches to life. We're not looking for a perfectly thought-out business plan here. This is our starting point. What comes up when you simply ask yourself... what do I want to grow? Don't overthink it. We'll come back to some of this later. Then we'll get out of our heads Because if you've ever tried to work out your entire future by thinking really, really hard about it... you probably know how that goes. 😂 So we'll pause. We'll move through a guided meditation to slow everything down, get out of business mode and drop back into our bodies for a little while. Away from the noise. The algorithm. Your competitors. What your industry is doing. What everyone else thinks you should be doing. And even what you think you should want. We'll create some space to notice what comes up when all of that gets a little quieter. How do I want my business to feel? How do I want my days to feel? What am I excited by? What's been quietly pulling at me? What would I create if I stopped worrying so much about whether it was the "right" thing to do? Sometimes we need to get out of our heads for a minute before we can hear any of that. And then... we're going old school ✂️ Magazines. Scissors. Glue. Pictures everywhere. Words ripped out of pages because something about them just gets you. We're making a proper old-school vision board. There is something pretty bloody fun about sitting around a table, flicking through magazines and cutting and sticking like we used to. But this time, we're bringing a little more intention to it. Rather than going in with a shopping list of things you think you're supposed to want, we'll encourage you to notice what you're actually drawn to. A word. A colour. A person. A feeling. A workspace. An image. Something that makes absolutely no logical sense, but for some reason you keep coming back to it. Cut it out. You don't need to know why yet. There'll be plenty of magazines and beautiful materials to explore, but you're also welcome to bring along anything specific you'd love to include. Photos. Quotes. Dream collaborations. Numbers. Places. Something you've scribbled in a notebook. Anything that represents where you're heading or how you want your business and work to feel. This is where we get to mix the practical with the intuitive. The things you know you want. The things you're only just starting to realise you want. And maybe a few things you didn't know you wanted until they landed on the table in front of you. A little manifestation magic ✨ We love some of the old-school vision board and manifestation stuff. There is something powerful about getting clear on what you want. There is something powerful about being able to see it. And there is something pretty special about taking all those ideas floating around in your head and giving them somewhere to land. But we're not pretending that sticking a million-dollar cheque on a board means you can go home and wait for the universe to sort out the rest. For us, manifestation is also about clarity, intention and attention. When we become clearer on what we want, we start noticing things differently. Opportunities. Ideas. Choices. The things that feel right. The things that don't anymore. And the small moves available to us now. Your vision board isn't a guarantee of what's going to happen next. It's a visual reminder of what you're choosing to grow towards. A little Spring energy 🌿 We're gathering on Friday 18 September, right as we're moving out of winter and towards the Spring Equinox. And BLOOM felt pretty perfect. All winter, trees can look like absolutely nothing is happening. Bare branches. No flowers. No visible growth. But underneath, things are still happening. Then spring arrives and slowly, things start appearing again. New growth. New energy.
