When I was a kid, I wanted to be a veterinarian. So badly, that I worked for a veterinarian for a week and then found out that I wasn’t going to be a veterinarian because I passed out a couple of times.<\/p>\n

Then I wanted to be a rockstar. My vision was to be sitting on a couch and talking about rock-n-roll.\u00a0 And I became an alternative kind of rockstar, because of henrietteweber.com. A business rock-n-roll chick\/avantgardist who rocks brands and preaches rockbandism who is a brand in her own way.<\/p>\n

Sometimes things change when we grow up a bit more. These days all I want is a smile from the rockstar in the mirror and a firm belief that “I rock”.<\/p>\n

But what else do I dream about being, in my lifetime? We grow up a little every day, right? So how do I want every day to feel?\u00a0 To me, it’s very much the same with brands. Branding happens by the minute. It happens from a core of dreams, whether they are business, style, idea, or entrepreneurial dreams. Growing up can be a statement. A silent revolution against what’s going on in the world.<\/p>\n

How about you? Do you know what you want to be when you grow up?<\/p>\n\n\n
