Routine is Revenue

Most business owners are working hard enough, yet they are struggling because they don't realise that their personal operating system is under pressure. If you are building a business or career but feel like a stiff body builder because you are carrying everything on your own. This conversation is for you.

Today. We are talking about physical health through movement, and why making an effort is not the issue. I'm Ildikó Sealey, leader of The Routine Revolution, and I'm joined today by Mark Broadbent founder of the MoveBetter.Club. He is a movement specialist who, after decades in the industry, is challenging traditional fitness.

Together, we explore why daily movement and not daily workouts is what protects energy, resilience, and independence as you build a business or career, regardless of the stage in life you are at.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Daily Movement is The Foundation: Prioritising your health and daily movement isn’t a nice to have – it’s the infrastructure that protects your longterm energy, focus, and ability to keep performing in business and life.


You’re Not Stiff Because You’re Old: You’re stiff because you stopped moving. Modern, sedentary life and “all or nothing” workouts quietly erode mobility, resilience, and independence.


Recovery is Where Progress Happens: Work hard 2–3 times a week, then balance that with easier walking and mobility days so your body can adapt, repair, and keep supporting your work long term.

BEST MOMENTS

Mark: "At some point we stop looking at exercise as play, and we label it as exercise, and then suddenly it becomes a chore that people don't want to do. People have forgotten that it feels good to move".

Mark: "(Get) fit for what you do or fit for what you want to do".

Mark: “Everyone can find 5–10, minutes a day. You can do it at home you haven't got to be anywhere special.”

Ildikó: “Just move your whole body and use your own body weight rather than use a string of gym equipment.”

HOST BIO

Most capable entrepreneurs are not failing. They are running on depleted personal infrastructure. I work with business owners who are already in motion but quietly heading for burnout. People who know what to do yet feel the strain of carrying everything alone.

I rebuilt my own life and business by fixing my health routines first, not my strategy. That experience became the T.E.M.P.L.E. Method™, a practical framework showing that personal health is business infrastructure.

I am Ildikó Sealey, known as The Routine Queen. I am a Health for Wealth Strategist and leader of the Routine Revolution. Through my work, I help business owners stop leaking time, energy, and momentum, and build performance that actually holds.

My message is simple. Build routines. Bank result$.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Routine is Revenue explores how personal health routines become business infrastructure.

This episode marks a fresh chapter - we are transforming from New Business in Later Life to Routine is Revenue, where we treat your daily routines as the real infrastructure behind a healthy life and developing a profitable business.

Today's topic is prioritisation clarity - how you can best utilise your time. It highlights why a lack of effort is not why you are stuck. To discuss this topic, I am joined by the business leader and strategist, Toni Eastwood OBE.

We explore how improved self-trust, something many entrepreneurs struggle with, clarity and intentional choices change the way you use your time.

Listen in, take a screenshot and send it to me, then share it with a business owner who needs it – 3 listeners will win a place on my one-to-one programme, Routine is Power.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Procrastination Often Comes from Self‑Trust Issues – You’re not stuck because you don’t know what to do, but because you don’t trust yourself to choose, so you hide in comfort‑zone tasks.

Confidence Comes From Doing, Not Preparing – Toni’s qualifications didn’t fix her self‑doubt; confidence grew when she took imperfect action.

Flexible Time Blocking Protects Your T.E.M.P.L.E – Use recurring blocks (sales, client work) and inside each block ask “What’s important right now?” then focus on that to protect your energy.

Tiny Plus‑One / Minus‑One Habit Changes Reshape Your Future – Stop one thing that drains you, start one thing that supports the business‑owner you want to be, and let that compound.

BEST MOMENTS

Toni: "That boring and mundane stuff actually does compound, and it means that we get closer to our goals sooner.”

Toni: "Stop doing one tiny thing that's not serving you, just one thing, and start doing one tiny thing that you know is going to help you instead."

Ildikó: "If you make the effort to charge yourself up and refill your cup every single morning. You can actually write your own story."

Toni: "You are where you are today as a result of what you've been doing or haven't been doing."

Today, Ildikó explores emotional health from a scientific angle, not coping better, but increasing our capacity to process what life throws at us. Her guest is Dr Melissa Palmer, a former Senior Science teacher with a PhD in neuroplasticity. She understands how our brains are trained by the way we live and the way we work and how to tap into that to greatly improve our quality of life and effectiveness.

If you feel mentally full, emotionally heavy or stuck in constant reaction mode, this conversation will definitely change how you think about your brain, how you think about your emotions and the ability to recover.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Burnout Isn´t Only About Over Work: Many entrepreneurs aren’t exhausted only because of “working too hard” - they’re paying the price for decades of people‑pleasing, perfectionism and harsh inner commentary. That quiet, constant internally generated stress load that trains your nervous system to live in fight‑or‑flight and eventually tips you into burnout.


Your Brain Is Not Fixed – It’s Being Rewired by How You Live Today: Neuroplasticity means your brain is always reshaping itself around what you repeat. Particularly, your thoughts, habits, and environment. If you change those things, you change how you act and therefore who you are and become.


Lofty Questions Aim Your Attention at What You Want, Not What You Fear: When you repeatedly ask gentle, positive questions like “How come I’m growing my business a little every day?” you give your brain a new brief. Because it’s wired to answer questions, it quietly starts hunting for evidence, ideas and encouraging actions that make that story true.


Self‑Compassion Switches You Out of Survival Mode: A minute of kind breathing, simply saying to yourself “I’m proud of you for taking this time” may sound stupid – but they signal safety to the nervous system. That shift out of fight‑or‑flight brings the thinking brain back online so you can plan, create, and lead.


Tiny Rituals Teach Your Brain a New Normal: Short, repeatable habits – a daily dog walk, two minutes of stillness, a 10‑minute tidy – are how you “vote” for a different, calmer identity. Done consistently, they tell your brain that you want a blended, sustainable life where business is simply a part of that life and stressed is no longer your normal state.

BEST MOMENTS

Melissa: “The very first part of emotional health is self-compassion."

Melissa: "We have a system in our brain - basically our internal monologue, and it's self-referenced. So, we can change what we're saying to ourselves.”

Melissa: "We can't get rid of that negative self-talk completely, but we can modify it."

Ildikó: "Whatever you tell yourself, your subconscious, your brain, will believe it."

Melissa: "What we're doing is neuroplasticity. We are leveraging the fact that our brain can rewire itself."

Today, we’re talking about the battle that most later-life entrepreneurs fight privately: looking strong on the outside while self-doubt and overwork slowly erode the inside.

My guest is Kellan Fluckiger of Master Your Monsters — a bestselling author and creator who spent 40 years in high-pressure C-suite roles while silently battling depression, addiction, and self-sabotage.

If you’ve ever wondered why success doesn’t silence the inner critic, and why confidence gets harder not easier with age, this conversation will speak directly to you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Radical Change Starts with Admitting “This Isn’t Me Anymore”:

You don’t have to hit rock bottom to reinvent your life or business. Your turning point can simply be an honest moment of accepting you´ve changed and it is time to start living differently.

2. Self‑Love is Essential, it Underpins Success:

Later‑life founders often look successful but secretly feel “not enough.” Practices like daily mirror work e.g. “I love you because…” sounds simple and a bit woo woo, but it really works. It starts to rewire your brain and build self‑trust. When you like who you are, you stop hustling for approval and start building a business and life that fits you.

3. Purpose is Chosen by You Using What You Already Have:

You don’t find purpose on a retreat; you create it from the skills, natural gifts, and life experience you already have (Kellan’s triple helix). When you design your work around this mix, your offer becomes both uniquely yours and far easier to sustain because it lights you up.

4. Mastering Your Monsters Unlocks Your Next Chapter In Later Life:

“I’m too old,” “I have no time,” “I’m not good enough” are just grown‑up monsters under the bed. Naming them, then acting anyway, is how later‑life entrepreneurs step out of safe busy work and into making the bold moves that actually change their results.

BEST MOMENTS

Kellan: "You don't have to be in an earthquake or have a fire burn your life

down. You just have to get to a point where you say this isn't who I am."

Kellan: "I was living someone else's goals. Absolutely, I was the poster child for this is what you're supposed to do, and if you do that, you're cool. So, I did it."

Ildikó: "We need to believe in ourselves, and when it comes to business, even more so."

Kellan: “I live every day excited to get up. I have no obligations. I have only commitments, because I intentionally get rid of that - the word obligation almost always carries the seeds of resentment.”

Kellan: “The most important gift that I have, or you or anyone, is who I am, what I have become, the story of my own becoming, or your own becoming.”
