The Right-Brain Business Plan // the Foundation

Do you guys know what creativeLIVE is? Well... it is an awesome website with lots of amazing and useful courses taught by successful professionals. While the course is broadcast live, you can watch it for free and/or decide to buy it for whenever you want to watch it.   

Today the sweet and great Jennifer Lee's started teaching her fabulous The Right-Brain Business Plan method. The course will last until Sunday so hurry up, enroll, and get to learn the best way for creative people to approach a business plan. 

First day was all about building the foundations of our business plans. We started by doing a relaxation exercise to visualise our workspace and where we see each other in the future. Afterwards we were supposed to create moodboards with what we had seen during our little 'subconscious' journey.  

I've created two boards showing what my ideal workplace looks like (that I so desperately need), and also where I see myself in a year; I might have been too optimistic to set up such high goals for a year time, but I like being positive (giggles). Check them out and let me know if you can decipher them... hehehhe!

portfolio // Geared Paisley

An homage to one of the most ancients motifs and the events that made possible its increased production: the invention of Jacquard Looms and the Roller Printing method during the Industrial Revolution.
