Hypnotherapy has been the number one game changer in my personal brand, and ultimately can be an excellent tool for any business owner. What is Hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy is a gentle and powerful way to work with the unconscious (aka subconscious) mind — the part of you that holds your beliefs, emotions, and automatic patterns. Through […]

One of the best things for my business about living in Royal Bay, Colwood is there is so many amazing spots for branding photos within minutes of my front door. And I mean minutes! It’s a 2 minute drive to the closet beach at the Beachlands. A 7 minute drive to a gorgeous seaside area […]

I love working with personal brands in industries like mortgage brokers, because they sell the same thing and it’s very competitive so a strong personal brand is a must have.
