This has been a major turning point in my life and I've personally grown so much in that time, and so has TGS. It really proves that there is a younger version of you that is so proud of what you've done and are doing.

Creating a brand is more than a DIY logo from Canva, or purchasing templates. Crafting the right brand involves a deep understanding of your audience, knowing what makes you different and stand out, being conscious of and living out your values across every touchpoint and being consistent across your language, messaging and design.

TGS is almost 4 years old. And turns out, you can never really know everything there is to know about running a business. And just when you think you've got it all figured out, surprise, the little back to reality nudge is a very humbling experience.

But what was happening instead? I was painstakingly trying to create systems using other apps so I could schedule 2 weeks worth of content. It was taking me a lot longer, it was stressful because I had stuff everywhere across two computers and my phone and it was so unorganised.

Fast forward two weeks after the proposal was sent, the client came back to us and said the quote was too expensive. And they wanted additional scope to be included, but also wanted us to reduce the price.

The client had lied about the budget available and wanted a full brand strategy, identity and collateral for less than what we were charging when TGS first started.

Just like in life, your business is in a constant state of creation. You are in a constant state of creation. There is no beginning, middle or end. You’re always in this state. But can you harness it? The Law of Attraction.

I had this overwhelming sense of well why should I be charging $10k for a client project? There’s so many other people out there that know more than I do, that are better than me and that who deserve to be earning that much.

It feels like I shouldn't be, because who the hell am I to tell you about imposter syndrome. I'm no expert. Of course I'm not. I'm just a business gal with a whole lot self doubt who feels the same way you do.

Your brand (and business) is more than just a pretty logo! A soul-led, strategy driven brand is about capturing the very essence of who you are and transforming it into an actionable, usable method.

I can go on forever and ever about how important it is to have a strategic brand identity, to fully know and understand who your business is and who your ideal client is!

I see so many business owners abandoning their brand because they want to grow and expand their business first (you might not even get there without some serious strategy behind it!)
