Let’s talk about rebrands. No, I’m not talking about when you decide you want to “rebrand yourself” every New Year’s Eve, I’m talking about a brand refresh for your business.

From a young age we are taught about goal setting and (usually) to have a 5-year plan. The primary reason for this is that, to achieve a goal, it is said that one has to be able to visualize the goal and manifest it in his / her mind over time.
