Go holistic, and we've got all got resources available to us around physical, mental, spiritual and, and emotional and spiritual, whatever that means for you. And I think particularly with my running Initially, it was just, it was all physical, I just run and I'll be able to run a marathon. But that only gets you so far. But if you look at the mental side of it emotional and then spiritually, there's other resources available to us to help us achieve our goals. So in sport, we might typically use a lot of the physical in work, it might be very much a mental game, but we forget how important the physical aspect be, are we eating how our energy level, so what does that desk setup look like? And all those things and our emotional sort of feelings that all comes into play, and I talked about, if you just use one of those areas, it's almost like leaving three quarters of the team on this page, we've got these other resources available too. So having a play with other types of things you can do in that remit of those four areas, holistic areas to achieve your goal.
Inspiring Business 1:01
Now sit back and relax while we take a deep dive and be inspired to take action on improving your business. here's your host, Stephen Sandor.
Welcome to the inspiring business podcast where we hope to inspire you, the business owner, and help you to focus on what you do best. So you can delegate the rest. The business has greater value when it's independent of the owner, we say get your business ready for sale, but don't sell it. And that way you can retire into your business. My guest today is Alexander Andre, and I'm really looking forward to this conversation with her. Alexandra is based in Melbourne. And she's an accomplished marketing professional with over 20 years experience in Australia and in the UK, and founded her own business here in Australia in 2015. Alexandra ran her first marathon in 2008. And then in 2015, competed in the grueling Ironman race in Melbourne, and dedicated that to her good friend Mads. Alexandra says, I've developed such a passion for sharing what I've learned on my journey in the hope it might help someone else on this. And that is definitely within the context in which this podcast sits. Alexandra is also an accomplished author with her first book, The Power of possibility. And it's off the back of this that Alexandra works as a speaker on possibilities and inspiration, and has recently launched the power of possibility Academy. I'm sure Alexandra would say her greatest achievement, however, is being the mother of her son, James. Alexandra, it's such a great pleasure to have you here on the inspiring business podcast.
Alexander Andre 2:43
Thank you very much, Steve. It's wonderful to be here as well. Thank you for the opportunity.
Inspiring Business 2:47
Can we start you took on the challenge of the Iron Man in 2015, after having some injuries or suffered some injuries from a marathon running and there was some real purpose behind that. Can you just explain a little bit about that? And then what we'll do is we'll see how it might apply to the listeners.
Alexander Andre 3:11
Yeah, sure, absolutely might even kick off to explain what an Ironman is. For those listeners that haven't heard of it before. It's a really big triathlon, it starts with a swim, big swim, 3.8k swim, then it's followed by 190 kilometers on the bike, and then finishes with marathon 42.195 kilometer run all in one day, and you've got 17 hours to do it in. So and you have to be crazy to do it. You have to be crazy to do it. My mom told me that when I told her I'd signed up to it and I believe that to be true. I haven't done one as well. Yeah, so really big triathlon events. And it's it's widely known as the toughest one that sporting event in the world actually, definitely the crazy takes the crazy box. So my purpose to signing up for it. And that's a really good question, Steve. Love running, I've always loved running and doing that first marathon like in 2008. I that gave me a real feel for what's possible in the fact that anything potentially is. But then I tried to I wanted to repeat that marathon experience. And yeah, five years of running injuries and I couldn't, couldn't run more than 12 K's. And I'd give I'd given up actual sort of hoping thinking I'd be able to run another marathon and my physio told me I probably wouldn't. But what happened was a good friend of mine by the name of Matt and was diagnosed with a terminal illness. And he was young and had a young family. And it just gave me perspective on life. And I think sometimes those sort of things happen to us. And they, they can give us a bit of a wake up call, as to potentially what we're doing with our life and a few friends had suggested to me doing one of these Ironman events, and I dismissed it instantly. But when my friend was diagnosed, I thought why don't I give it a shot? Who knows maybe we'll get to the start line. It's very much a long shot, but you know, I won't get there otherwise. So it was really the perspective. Peace diagnosis gave me for how short and precious life is and How we have to do stuff while we can. So that was really the reason and purpose for me signing up to begin with, a few months later signed up was doing all my training. And tragically Mads passed away just 10 months after he was diagnosed, actually. And it was that day that I chose to dedicate my Ironman to him and I call it Iron Man for odd meds. And from that point onwards, the sense of purpose I felt, for what I was doing and why I was it was actually like nothing I felt before. I just felt this sense of drive and motivation to do as a lot of training you have to do to get to Ironman level and get ready for race day. And I did all that without question. And I worked through all the setbacks I had without question. And I think that's, that's a great takeaway for so much of life. Because I think that sense of purpose, we do something with whatever that thing may be, and can be such a powerful motivator in everything. And so it was really, it was my friend, and he's tragedy he's passing that motivated me and drove me to get to the start line. And then pretty special day on race day, I managed to get to the finishing line as well. And a lot of his friends and family were there cheering me on, which was just felt quite incredible to to achieve that event. But also to see the impact it was how tragic circumstances situation but for me to be able to give some of the people in his world some hope and strength, that made me realize the impact we will have on each other as well. And that inspired what has come for me in life and what I do from that point onwards as well. So that was really my friend Mads, that was the purpose behind the Iron Man,
Inspiring Business 6:32
We were talking before we started recording on purpose. And I made the comment that not everybody wants to be an elite athlete, not everybody wants to run a marathon. But we all deep down, we want to have some purpose in our life, whether it's we just want to be a better parent, or make some impact in our local community, for example. So the lessons that you learn as a as may mortals who want to make a difference, what would be the lessons that you've learned from your experiences that we might be able to take so that we can actually identify what that purpose is, and get really strong in how to make an impact?
Alexander Andre 7:15
Yeah, sure. I guess, I think the key thing is there is to actually realize that we are all having an impact right now. You're having an impact like the the podcast, you've created Steve and your business, you're having such an impact on everyone that any guest that comes on the show, anyone who listens, all the businesses you work with, and then the worlds that they all operate in as well. Once I saw this impact, this huge impact I had, I see impact everywhere, I see that the coffee shop, when they're open here in Melbourne might be conversations we have with people, emails, texts, things we say or don't say, we're all having an impact in how we go about our days, and our careers and our lives. So I think first of all, it's actually realizing and appreciating the impact we all have. And then it's about being more intentional, just realizing that we have an impact. And I don't know if it's just about connecting to people to have a conversation or thinking about I don't know your business and how you operate and thinking more than the performance of the business, it's perhaps what's the impact do you want the business to have? Because even if the products and services that you're selling, they actually end up in people's lives in some point. So actually using that lens of impact in what you do and why Yeah, I think for me, that's the realization of the impact we actually can and do have and being more intentional with it being a positive and a growth impact. I think that's a big,
Inspiring Business 8:37
I think that for me, that was a really big learning what I'm sensing or what I'm feeling is that all you have that impact, it's that serving others. So what I heard was internal versus external. If I'm concerned about me and myself, then it's hard to have that giving attitude because I'm just always worried about what's happening in my world. With your experience, it was very much what was happening outside of your world. And that gave you a different perspective on someone's health. And this and it just simply gave you perspective. So this is it is it as simple as that is that when you focus on yourself, you have less impact. And you and when you look out externally at the impact that you do have that you are just simply making that intention to be leave someone better than when you found them. Is it as simple as that?
Alexander Andre 9:31
Yeah, it could quite well be Steve. I think it's that yeah, that focus being on serving others, but at the same time, it can't be at the detriment of yourself. So if you're just giving, giving and you're running on empty as a lot of parents who've learned that lesson number of times and continue to learn that lesson.
Inspiring Business 9:44
My daughter has just given birth to our first grandchild and it's really it's really interesting watching that because they're in that euphoric first week, and I'm going that's gonna be this is gonna be fun to watch. Yeah. You can watch from afar as a grandparent. Yeah, sugar, sugar, sugar him up and send them back. Yeah, that's it.
Alexander Andre 10:07
Yeah, looks, I think it's I think it is very much about serving others and appreciating the impact and the impact you can have. Like you, I don't know, if someone, yeah, we can all lift each other up in so many ways that we can often we have no idea how the kind of impact we've had. And we might hear back one day, but we might not. So actually doing it with that pure good intention, but it can be at the detriment of you. So I think if we're if we're all going about what we do, hopefully with love and joy and enjoying what we're doing, and what brings us It brings a smile to our face and all the rest of it. You can't help but admit that outwards. And appreciating that impact has wetlands. Yeah, I think it's I think it is that simple. But but not at the detriment of yourself. And yeah, hopefully, it's both. Hopefully, it's very much both.
Inspiring Business 10:53
And you've developed a list of things that one can apply to help with that whole that whole process?
Alexander Andre 11:01
Yeah, sure. Particularly, I guess big goals is really very much my thing, because that's what a lot of my life, although a lot of the growth and development journey I've been on has been about taking on big goals that I didn't think I could necessarily do, and then actually getting there and realizing that anything is possible. So yeah, I've developed six tips on how to how to get after and succeed in big goals. And I think they they lend themselves to might be to a sporting event, but it's also business and life as well. And I developed them from taking on the Iron Man, really. So the first one is break it down. So if it's a really big goal, it can be really scary and really daunting. And it can make you pretty nervous and fearful. And we underestimate how we feel about a goal can impact on our success towards achieving it. So if it's a really big goal, break it down. And I'll use the marathon analogy. But if you've signed up for a marathon, it might not be helpful to think about 42 K's when you kind of run a kilometer. But if you chunk it down into five, let's just get to five K's, six K's, whatever it may be, it might be business turnover, you're after all right? Want to turn the business into a $10 million dollar kind of business? Alright, well, let's just break it down to smaller goals. So break that big goal down into smaller, more digestible, achievable, mini kind of goals along the way and focus on that first one. And once you get there, then up to the next one, breaking that big goal down into smaller, more achievable, digestible, almost stepping stone goals along the way, I think really useful. That's my first tip. Next up is give it purpose. And we've spoken about purpose a bit already. But I think the the purpose behind what anything we do is just so important. And it's probably one of the most important and fundamental questions we can ask ourselves as we embark on any sort of goal or any business venture or whatever it may be, is why are we doing it? And what will achieving it mean to us? Why does it matter. And if you can get really clear on the sense, your sense of purpose behind what it is you're doing, I think it can and loaded with a lot of purpose. And if you can't, that might be the wrong goal, actually. But if you can easily load it with a lot of purpose, then when things get hard, and maybe roadblocks come ahead, you have reason to continue on to work through those setbacks, if you have a meaningful enough purpose. So that's the second one around give it purpose. Next up, this has been a big part of my journey actually is go holistic, and we've got all got resources available to us around physical, mental, spiritual, and, and emotional and spiritual, whatever that means for you. And I think particularly with my running Initially, it was just, it was all physical, I'll just run and I'll be able to run a marathon. But that only gets you so far. But if you look at the mental side of it emotional and then spiritual, there's other resources available to us to help us achieve our goals. So in sport, we might typically use a lot of the physical in work, it might be very much a mental game, but we forget how important the physical aspect the how are we eating, how our energy levels, and what does that desk setup look like and all those things and our emotional sort of feelings that all comes into play. And I talked about, if you just use one of those areas, it's almost like leaving three quarters of the team on the beach, you've got these other resources available to so having a play with other types of things you can do in that room, either those four area holistic areas to help you achieve your goal. So it could be before meetings, doing a little bit of mindfulness or meditation to get you in the right zone and space to have a really productive efficient meaning with a great outcome. That's there's a lot we can do across all of those areas. So that's the third one. Next up, make it a journey. So often we have, you know, a goal, and it's particularly the rice. Let's say it's just race date. It's one point in time I either achieved it or I didn't I got the time I wanted or I didn't. If you make it just about the goal, it will be just about the goal. But you can actually make it about the journey it takes you on and if you do that, I guarantee you You take more from the experience of it and apply that to business as well around making it about the journey as business, anyone who's got headed down their own business sort of path, it's very much a journey. And I think appreciating and respecting that it is about the journey, versus just the achievement of that goal gives it more breadth. And next up, number five, run your own room. So this is very much about I think we can get caught up in life and in business about what everyone else is doing. And that can give us context, and it can inspire us. And that's brilliant. But when you get too busy thinking about what everyone else is doing, and comparing yourself to that, and I think that's helpful. So running your own race is very much about looking at what is it? What goals do you want to take on? And how do you want to achieve them, and making it very personal to you? And I guess in the business landscape, we can talk about competitors a lot. And yes, that does give us It gives us perspective, absolutely. But you don't want to get to your lens, too clouded with what everyone else is doing and forget about being true to you and how you want to do it. So yeah, run your own race is is another big tip of mine as well. And then the last one is about leveraging the learning, I think any goal we take on, there are bound to be a bunch of learnings along the way. They're often disguised as setbacks or roadblocks or things that feel like they're hindering us. And we're not going to get to our goal. But if we can see the gift in those setbacks on that journey, and then that is a goal we're working towards whether we get there or not, if we can do some reflection of what have we learned, and how can I apply that to other areas of my life. It really just maximizes what you can learn from that journey, the goals take you up taking you on, and it can enrich so many other areas of your life from that point on was as well. And that's a big part of what my journey has been about. They've been sporting goals, typically. But I've come across into work in my personal life as well in terms of what I've taken on. So leveraging the learning. That's Yeah, that's the number six on the tip list there, Steve, how do they sound to you?
Inspiring Business 17:02
I love them. Yeah. And as you were talking about kopis, I'm writing, trying to focus so what is written so that we can have a conversation about a couple of these things. Because the point number three, we were saying going going holistic, the spiritual, mental, emotional side of things. And we were talking before we again, we started recording about my journey at the moment and slowing down to and taking stock of where I'm currently at. So that's difficult, because when you're in the doing like, you've got emails coming out, you're looking at getting sales in or you're looking at paying bills, or there's all the software, the pandemic that we currently are in how do we go from day to day as situations change? Just in that one point? How do you manage that? What are some of the things that you do to keep yourself grounded, if you like.
Alexander Andre 17:52
Yeah, sure. Yeah, that's a really good question. I think we can all get really caught up in that fizziness the to do list, we often don't lift their head up and, and or just pause, bit like the race analogy. I've done that I don't want to sign off on it. Another one. I won't honor that recovery time. And I think there's whatever it is honoring that recovering pause, time to just stop have space in our lives. Somehow I have a two year old who does that pretty well. For me, kids, I think you're great around keeping us grounded. Yesterday, we were doing jigsaw. So it was actually it was a really mindful exercise. And he's really good at them. And that was, it was really good for me to just keep me grounded and pausing in that moment. So I think a big part of that holistic bit is around finding what works for you. And there's so many options available to us. Now, I think a big thing is checking in on where you're at. So if you can through mindfulness meditation, going for a walk, listening to music, whatever it is, if you can find some off, turn the you know, switch off just in some form. So you can just sense check, journaling, whatever, it may be chatting with a good friend chatting with a business colleague, I where am I at? How am I going? Do I feel like I'm just going flat out and what is it I'm doing? And why am I overloaded at the moment? Am I overwhelmed? Just I think your first thing is awareness, checking in on where you're at, and then making whatever modifications you need to it could be, I just need some time out here. I need a few days to just pause and reset with the business strategy or I need to this area of my life of family, I've got no time for an hour, I need to dial it up a little bit, checking in and then making whatever modification you need to but I don't think pausing and creating space. I don't think we can do it enough to be honest. And I've the last two weeks I was sharing with you, my son and I've both been seeking my voice is still just at 80%. But as you said, we push on that's what we do. That's what we're talking about today. But it's actually the gift in it has been that it's forced me to, to pause and to just have space. He hasn't made it childcare. So I haven't really been able to do any work anyway. But it's actually been tremendous because I've been reflecting on my business strategy and my positioning and it's made me question a few things and one, it's made me realize it really is the Because I want to help people with, because that's been such a big part of my journey, I think it's checking in and then it's creating space somehow, however, you best do that. And if you don't if you're one of those go people Good on you, but I just check in and maybe just proactively give yourself some time off because there's too many people I know of that have just they they burn out, especially those those great high achievers amongst us. And often it's, yeah, it's at that point versus proactively just pulling things in a little bit. And just giving yourself a little bit of time with the foot off the pedal just a little bit coming really wise time spent. Yeah,
Inspiring Business 20:36
Again, so many things popping through my head. I've just written an article on your burnout before your business. There's a huge, there's McNair did some research into the current situation. And the three biggest areas of concern at the moment are cashflow too much and not enough, you wouldn't think that you'd have a problem with too much cash flow. But servicing servicing your customers actually getting stuff done, people leaving and finding good people. And then the final thing is the guilt of being at work when you should be at home. Or when you feel as though you should be at home and thinking about that. And then when you're at home thinking about work and the guilt that you should be at work and they're giving yourself out talk about healing, because it is really important to do that. And we've pushed this interview back a couple of times now because of those circumstances. But if you had to push through at that point and said, You know what, I'm gonna do it anyway, physically, you couldn't have been this is a audio podcast, it would have been difficult for you to do that. But it would have been a challenge for us, I saw an audio signing your concept. But the whole if you had to push through at that point in time and hadn't taken some time it would have lengthen the downtime or the inefficiencies that you've had I think resistance and persistence are important, Sprint's or behaviors that you have have to have as a business owner, but sometimes you can push the envelope a little bit too far.
Alexander Andre 22:05
Yeah, I think you're spot on Steve. And I think that, look, I did that when, from a marathon perspective, when I did that first marathon, I didn't push the envelope for five years trying to repeat that marathon experience and just kept injuring myself. I had every running injury under the sun. So I was really good at that actually pushing through, I wasn't listening to my body, I just I that's just a little niggle a little bit rot ends up in a stress fracture in my tibia. So I've come back for three months. So yeah, I know what it's like to push through. And I think it takes experience and you're not checking in that self awareness. Just checking in with yourself. I think it's I think it's really key. And I think it's a lesson that we often have to learn ourselves to really get to be like the sunburn lesson, I think and hangovers. I talk about getting sunburned and hangovers, how many times do we learn that lesson? But I think some things we have to learn ourselves and and i think that awareness is key in terms of checking in on where you're at, if if you keep pushing and keep you feeling how have you are you feeling maybe just taking a pause and looking at what's working and what's not working? And what can I change. And I think it's good in a way because it means you care. And you're actually I've got such drive, but it can't be at the detriment of your health. And I talk about him running. Now I listened to my body. And I've tuned into it. And that was the gift that all those running injuries gave me because I didn't listen to it. It's the same reason it's the same thing. You don't need to run to listen to your body. But we all have a body that is capable of absolutely anything. But if we don't rest if we don't hydrate it, if we don't feed it the right nutrition in terms of what it wants, given enough sleep, those are the things it can be fatiguing, and it can hinder everything we do. Not just work but everything else as well. So I think it's I think it's really key.
Stephen Sandor 23:55
And there's a there's a real awareness now around mental health because of the circumstances that we're in. And I think people are searching for that. How do I manage this and now that I'm a grandfather, I can actually have my nap in the afternoon.
Alexander Andre 24:12
But I will, I will also say that sometimes it's fine. I'm still I still do this. But sometimes when you're in it, it's really hard to see if yourself. So if you're in a black not a great headspace or you're fatigued or whatever. It takes a lot of experience and courage I think to pull yourself up and say Hang on, this isn't working. Ideally, that's what you do, but reaching out to someone and just having a bit of a chat to them having a goto I think that's key as well because often it's the people around us that can see stuff before we do as well.
Stephen Sandor 24:43
And again, the business owner who's trying to do it all their own, the whole point of what we're what I do in my business and what you're doing in your businesses, we're trying to support the business owners so that they are not the key to the business because you can't hop you can't carry that burden. Forever when you're on your own, and you've got one or two people working with you, you're a freelancer, that's okay. That's the choice that you've made. But when you've got 10 1520 employees that burdens and notice of being at the core of the business, and where I've seen successes, that is the people who are aware of that, and they've asked for help, and to ask for help, you have to be vulnerable, you have to admit that you're not this this behemoth that can carry every everyone and everything with you. So in your experience around that vulnerability, or at least knowing where the limits are, what have you seen what have you? What have been your experiences?
Alexander Andre 25:40
Yeah, sure. I think it's the power of vulnerability, really. In my book, I talk about setbacks and I had a bunch of setbacks as I trained for Ironman, but I saw the gifted a lot in them. I think it's really important that they get some airtime whatever those Yeah, whatever those setbacks, downtime, challenges you have are they honestly can be such gifts, as I said in the last couple of weeks being sick, but it's given me pause time it's given me refocus, but I now I've experienced enough setbacks to realize that there's something in them what is that gift? So looking for that gift? So I think again, that checking in and to end, analyzing them a little bit, what's happening here? And why has this happened? Because often we think things are happening to us, but they're, they're actually happening for us or like, yeah, whatever it is, whether it's that job you didn't get, or that that client that didn't say no to it, or whatever it might be, there's often something else better coming or something learning, you've got to go through, I think to have a talk about upgrades. If we go through challenging times, we're just going through an upgrade to get us to the next chapter of our lives. Yeah, look, I think it's being left full of ups and downs. And that's the path we're all on. It's and it gives us contrast, as well I've that's a term I've heard spoken about, it would be silly to think we can all be humming along at a million miles an hour be beaming smile, laughs great seven days a week 24 by seven, we all have some bumps in the road. And that gives us contrast. And it gives us perspective, and it gives us learning and growth. So I think it's been Yeah, it's really dialing those up and talking about them, whether it's your own journaling, your own sort of appreciation, or sharing those in a work sense as well, just that honesty and vulnerability and rawness, we see so much of it. We've seen more and more of it in the last five or 10 years, most business owners and that not being to Buddha talk about those things, which is really good. And I think even more so now if the pandemic is there's not many people that are not struggling in some way. So sharing those moments as well. I think there's a lot of Yeah, there's a lot to be said for vulnerability. Absolutely.

Thanks very much for that. If someone wanted to reach out to you, what would be the best way for them to do that?
Alexander Andre 27:47
Yeah, sure. Thanks, Steve. Best way, it's probably my website, it's Alexandra andre.com, they can connect with me there, they can book in a free 30 minute discovery session, if they've got a goal or something they wanting to chat through on I can potentially offer some guidance on it, I'd love the opportunity to connect with people so they can book in for 30 minute coaching, free coaching session there. And I've also put together an ebook on those six tips. So if anyone wants a bit more detail on those six gold tips that's on my website, and if they wanted to check out a copy of the power possibility book as well, I'd love to love to share that with them. It's in ebook and in paperback. So yeah, my website's probably the best best one. And if any questions come up from today, I'd love to hear from anyone if they want to chat a little bit more, just send me an email.

Alexander Andre 28:40
My curious about? That is a great question. Steve. I think you know what I'm my theme is possibility and the power of possibility and the concept that anything is possible. So I'm just curious as to what more I can do, what more boundaries I can. I can push and bigger goals I can take on for me life right now is trying to be a good mom day at night. There'll be other big goals out there for me pretty soon, I'm sure. I'm curious as to as to what, what more I can Yeah, I guess, achieve and experiencing life through that lens of possibility. Yeah.

I want to thank Alexandra for being with me on this interview one because she really made an effort even with a croaky voice, but also the passion that came through in her advice around achieving your goal. The tips Alexandra shared, useful if you want to achieve that big, hairy, audacious goal or just get better at one thing at a time. Alexandra is offered to have a complimentary discovery call with you to help you get clear on your goals. And all her details are in the show notes below. Hearing inspiring business, we've created the scale to success system, a proven method to turn your business from a solid sport job into an enterprise that doesn't rely solely upon you for an exploration call, where we can sit and have a conversation about your plans and objectives and what scaling means to you. And even if we don't end up working together, no one's ever said that it was a waste of time. Our mantra is get your business ready for sale, but don't sell it that allows you to retire into your business. My name is Stephen Sandor.
