00:00:32.329 --> 00:00:34.250
Hello and welcome back.
00:00:34.409 --> 00:00:44.409
So today's episode is a little bit of a different one, and you might wonder what the hell it's got to do with movement or anything, but bear with me and it will make sense.
00:00:44.649 --> 00:00:51.370
So today's episode is all about simplification and reducing the overwhelm.
00:00:51.609 --> 00:01:10.890
I've been reflecting a lot recently on everything I do, why I do the things I do, and I realize that a lot of what I'm trying to do is make things simple for people because it gets very overcomplicated.
00:01:11.049 --> 00:01:23.929
You'll know if you've listened to my previous episode where I got on a bit of a rant about the health industry and its stats and our obsession with 10,000 steps a day and all that jazz.
00:01:24.170 --> 00:01:34.969
And earlier today, so at the time of recording this, at the earlier today, I did a joint live on my Facebook profile, and that was the exact thing that came up.
00:01:35.049 --> 00:01:47.049
So me and Veronica are going to be doing a joint session because we both work in very similar ways, we're making things easier for people.
00:01:47.450 --> 00:01:55.289
I'm making movement easier by building it into your everyday life so that it's not an extra thing you have to do.
00:01:55.929 --> 00:02:04.409
Veronica is helping you to build your habits easily because then you're more likely to stick to your goals of whatever that may be.
00:02:05.689 --> 00:02:07.209
So simplify it.
00:02:07.530 --> 00:02:10.569
We overcomplicate everything.
00:02:11.530 --> 00:02:16.569
In fact, Auraflame, who I'm a brand partner with, are massively simplifying their whole business.
00:02:16.729 --> 00:02:22.890
They've been running for 60 years, but they're still simplifying.
00:02:24.250 --> 00:02:34.890
We're about to streamline the product range, we're making everything easier for customers and brand partners to take advantage of what Auraflame has to offer.
00:02:35.129 --> 00:02:41.450
So if a 60-year business can make things simple, so can you.
00:02:42.969 --> 00:03:11.290
And it starts with looking at the bigger picture, looking at it from an outside view, so kind of that eagle, eagle viewpoint, if you like, um, to detach yourself from the result, take yourself out of the equation, which is really hard for me when it's my business, but it's what I have to do.
00:03:11.370 --> 00:03:18.730
I have to take me out of the result, out of the outcomes, desired outcomes, the things I want people to achieve.
00:03:18.810 --> 00:03:21.050
I have to take myself away from that.
00:03:21.370 --> 00:03:26.330
Look at the bigger picture and go, actually, what do people want?
00:03:28.570 --> 00:03:36.330
They want it easy, they want it fun, and they want it simple.
00:03:38.090 --> 00:03:43.450
And going back to Auraflame, that's exactly what they want, and exactly what they're doing.
00:03:43.770 --> 00:03:46.890
Aurifame has 69 sub-brands.
00:03:48.810 --> 00:03:58.250
We've got the duology range, we've got the Wellosophy, we've got the Love Nature, we've got there's that many I can't even remember them all.
00:03:58.570 --> 00:04:00.010
But there's 69.
00:04:00.890 --> 00:04:07.290
Within those 69, there are a lot of products, like the mascaras, for instance.
00:04:08.010 --> 00:04:13.290
Now I might be misquoting this, but I'm pretty sure we've got 30 mascaras.
00:04:14.409 --> 00:04:19.529
Last time I checked, you tend to wear one mascara at a time.
00:04:20.089 --> 00:04:25.129
You need a black, you might want a brown, you might want a bit of a colour.
00:04:25.290 --> 00:04:27.529
You're certainly going to want a waterproof.
00:04:29.689 --> 00:04:33.050
Beyond that, what else do you really want from your mascara?
00:04:33.209 --> 00:04:39.449
When most of them can do it all in one, you can get a waterproof false lash effect.
00:04:39.610 --> 00:04:43.850
So you don't need a false lash and a waterproof if you can do it in one.
00:04:44.009 --> 00:05:01.129
So they're simplifying the onboarding process for building people into the business is getting simplified so that it can be duplicated and easier, and more people can do it and run and earn and things.
00:05:01.609 --> 00:05:10.009
I'm gonna do a whole episode on Aura Flame and Noah Marketing, so I'm not getting into it now because it's a whole other topic that I want to cover on here.
00:05:10.569 --> 00:05:32.569
But I want to remind you that whether you're looking at movement, whether you're looking at your health, looking at your finances, because your finances have a knock-on effect to your health, whether maybe you've got a goal, maybe you want to start a business and you just don't know where to start.
00:05:33.209 --> 00:05:37.449
One, just start, but simplify it.
00:05:37.529 --> 00:05:44.009
You don't have to get the website, get the brand, get the to start.
00:05:45.049 --> 00:06:04.169
And trust me, as someone that has been running for 10 years who has done precisely that and has now reverse pedaled it, scrapped the brand, hasn't touched the website because isn't really clear what's going on the website.
00:06:04.409 --> 00:06:07.289
I'm mainly using the podcast on my email list.
00:06:08.490 --> 00:06:12.569
I'm keeping it simple because it's just another thing.
00:06:12.729 --> 00:06:16.329
Yes, I have a full-time job, yes, I have limited time.
00:06:17.129 --> 00:06:19.689
It's too much, it's way too much.
00:06:20.009 --> 00:06:24.169
So sorry, I was looking down, I was just making sure I was in micro range.
00:06:24.250 --> 00:06:28.969
I forget that I have a microphone around here and I get very excited.
00:06:29.129 --> 00:06:34.490
So um, if you're watching the video version, apologies, I'm looking down, making sure that I'm in range of my mic.
00:06:34.729 --> 00:06:41.370
Um I'm simplifying because I can.
00:06:42.250 --> 00:06:44.250
And I know it's gonna be worth it.
00:06:44.810 --> 00:06:52.250
And the biggest, biggest thing I'm doing in the simplification is making it fun.
00:06:53.689 --> 00:07:04.009
Because life is a hell of a lot way too short to be having all these fancy systems, it's it's way too short.
00:07:04.169 --> 00:07:17.609
So that's my little kind of soapboxy thing for you today is simplify everything, take it back to basics, do a bird's eye view, go back to basics and take one element.
00:07:18.089 --> 00:07:25.049
So if it is that you're like, okay, I need to drink more, hands up, that's me.
00:07:25.209 --> 00:07:29.769
I definitely don't drink enough, start small.
00:07:30.729 --> 00:07:38.729
Replace one cup of tea, coffee, whatever it may be, with a glass of water.
00:07:40.969 --> 00:07:44.969
Make that your daily habit, and then build.
00:07:46.250 --> 00:07:55.289
If it's moving, start with boogie whilst cooking three times a week.
00:07:57.930 --> 00:08:02.250
Build it to make it more regular, and then add in more things.
00:08:02.409 --> 00:08:06.729
We start with baby steps and we keep it simple.
00:08:09.289 --> 00:08:15.930
Until next time, let's go.
00:00:32.329 --> 00:00:34.250
