Three is a Magic Number: In Visual Strategy & Business Clarity

by Ann English

Let's Connect...

🕰️ Once Upon a Time...

In the magical world of fairy tales, you were always granted three wishes.

Not one. Not two. Not four. Always three.

Why? - Because three is a magic number:

✨In art and photography: The Rule of Thirds brings harmony. 

✨In design and display: The Power of Three creates intrigue.

✨In writing and storytelling: The Triple Impact connects emotionally.

And in my business… threes are everywhere!

My Visual Strategy SignatureSystem is built around three core elements:

  1. VisionMapping™ - to clarify your thinking.
  2. VisualDoodles™ - to visually communicate your message.
  3. VisualMarketing - to make your brand, products and services stand out.

Together, they lead to the fourth dimension:

✨The Clarity Quest™ - where everything aligns and transformation happens.

 Let's me show you how threes show up...

 

When Two Creative Minds Collide... Ideas Ignite!

Have you ever noticed what happens when two minds come together?

It’s as if a third ‘mastermind brain’ is born. An invisible space where new ideas spark, merge, and multiply.

That’s exactly what happened during recent VisionMapping sessions with Jason Thompson, founder of Sound Ideas Media.

Jason said:

“Ann's Mind Mapping sessions helped me realise my creative potential, focus my mind and energy, and achieve more positive outcomes! I can thoroughly recommend it!”

Thanks to funding from BIPC North East’s Citylife Business Support Grant Jason had three VisionMapping sessions, where we connected the dots between his vision, values, and mission to create his VisionMap™ and strategic vision.

It's a powerful reminder, two heads really do create a third, more impactful way of thinking.

✨Who could you invite into your ‘mastermind space’ to spark new clarity?

When HOW becomes WHO

At NE Expo, I guided a room full of ideas-rich entrepreneurs through how to move ideas from Chaos to Clarity with The Magic of Visual Strategy - with the help of a magic wand in my hand!

One of the simplest mindset tips I shared, also demonstrates the magic of three to overcome challenges...

Founders often get stuck on "HOW" to do everything.

Rearrange those same letter to you shift the focus to 'WHO' can help?

H O W → W H O = BIG difference!

It's a small change, with a huge impact. Becaue none of us can (or should) do this alone.
