The Vision Workshop: How understanding your personal vision helps you grow your business

high performing teams

We all dream.

As humans it’s our ability to dream that gives us the power to manifest our reality, but where do those dreams come from?

Too many business owners are letting their business take over their lives.
Discover how to put your business back in it's place & take back what you've had to sacrifice.

Recently I’ve implemented a Vision Statement Workshop which aims to help
business owners grow their business by relating it to their own personal story.

This strategy has proven to be a success, with many of my clients leaving the workshop
with a fresh perspective and renewed enthusiasm for their business & the future.

One such client is Scott, who is a graphic designer running his own company.
He offered an all encompassing design service with eleven individual offerings.

Scott saw himself as a pivotal part of his clients marketing strategy,
 but was trying to focus more on leveraging his product offering when he started coaching.

leadership and teamwork

The Four Stages of the Workshop:

1. Identifying pivotal life events in the business owner
2. Determining why the event was so pivotal or important
3. Discussing key topics about these stories and the emotions they provoke
4. Work together to transform these topics into values, leading to your vision


After going through the workshop & discovering more about himself, 

Scott found it incredibly easy to identify his VISION: 

a desire to challenge the normal to be outstanding!


He was able to relate this newfound self-discovery 

to his business and created his vision statement:


Create logos for SMEs through understanding people’s stories so that their brand 

identity is outstanding and inspires curiosity, and do that by being happy and having fun. 

To be supportive, always deliver on deadline and provide great customer service.


Scott simplified his business model through the vision workshop 

and now has a much clearer vision that’s in line with the values he 

wants to express through his business, and has never looked back. 


This vision has defined his passion and what is important to him.



Business owners know that time is a gift that you’ll 

never get back, so you have to invest it wisely!


When you’re clear about you’re doing what you’re doing, 

you’ll get 100% clarity as to how to invest your time.

Do you find yourself spending far too
much time on each small detail to make sure
your client is happy with your work?

Putting your all into a project for your client
for them to be dissatisfied and unhappy with
your quality, efforts & business is terrifying!

The problem with this mindset is that you
end up overworking yourself for
no different financial outcome .

more work, meaning new sales,
leading to more cash in your pocket.
 
But getting your quotes just right  can be tricky.

• Accurately describe your offer
• Explain your costs
• Explain the terms and conditions
 
We’ve broken down the steps to make them
simple, effective & powerful and to take off
the added stress when it comes to quoting.

Is the financial strain in your business 

ruining your quality of life?

 

Are you not bringing in enough money to be able to 

make the changes  you really want to in your business?

 

Without a positive cash flow your business will be 

forced to slow down progress and even eventually close .

 

Up to 50% of business owners identified that cash 

flow is the biggest issue they find in their business.

 

And up to 80% of failed Australian businesses 

are caused by cash flow issues.
