There are many myths around productivity which we’ve all been tricked into believing; you have to work 9-5, you have to sit at the desk, you’re more productive in an office and self-care should be ‘fitted in’ before or after your work hours.

But, anyone who has given themselves permission and freedom to work in their own way will testify that there is no one more productive, creative and inspired than an entrepreneur in flow. And, to be in flow you have to find space to step into your ‘genius zone’– the magical mental space where creativity wakes you up with excitement and no problem or issue can dampen your brightness.

You can find your genius zone anywhere – in a bustling office, in the back of a taxi, at an airport when your flight is delayed by six hours. But, more likely than not, the greatest lightbulb moments occur when you move away – mentally or physically – from the constant tug and pull of life’s commitments.

The idea for Collective Hub came about in the first place after I gave myself space and time to ask the universe, “How can I be of service?”. I prayed, visioned, manifested over a matter of months and years. More importantly, I didn’t try to rush or force the answer.
