I’ve been building a new thing! I visualise the one-person business as a garden ecosystem that you get to design, tend to, and growa. A container to express and explore your multitudes.

Areas that need nurturing at different times include:

🍴Dining area (people & network)

🥕Veg patch (reliable income streams)

🌷Flower bed (less well paid more enjoyable work)

🛝Play area (new ideas & experiments)

📙 Garden studio (learning and research)

🪑Bench in the shade (rest/ inspo gathering)

🌳 Big old tree (long term thinking)

In yesterday’s Creative Growth Sprint workshop, where we dug into auditing and designing gardens, someone described the garden as “the most heartfelt approach to growth” they’d ever come across 🫶🏻.

If you want to design your own garden in your own time and space, I’m building Design Your Business Garden as a self-guided strategic framework for you.

It walks you through two things: an honest audit of your garden as it is now, and a zone-by-zone design of the business garden you actually want.

It’s landing soon 🛝🥕🌷🌸🌳
