I totally get where you’re coming from. When I read some of my first stuff on branding I thought it was sky-high. I couldn’t put a finger on anything I could actually use it for. But then slowly I switched into action gear and started to create stuff around me. Stuff that I thought was aligned with my personality and personal brand. Suddenly, I didn’t only see a blank canvas(my blog). I saw a million creative ways that I could make a living out of: Being myself and giving my practical and curly inspiration to the world.
