00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,800
Through my eyes, I've never
achieved enough.
2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:08,160
Deborah Mitchell, founder of a
successful global skin care
3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,040
brand, The Royal A list
facialist, beauty innovator and
4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:17,520
pioneer of natural formulas
including the world famous B
5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,720
Venom Facial.
Anyway, it went all over the
6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:26,200
world and I became a
multimillionaire overnight.
7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,200
You do look.
Incredibly young.
8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,040
Let me just.
That's pretty like.
9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,480
Literally.
Oh thank you for saying that,
10
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:36,760
but they stole all my formulas.
Yeah, yeah.
11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,240
Should have done.
In business that happens is a
12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,720
lot of stories.
Once you've achieved or you've
13
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:47,480
got a grounding, you don't get
men as much saying, you know,
14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:52,960
questioning.
But when I hadn't achieved and I
15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,040
wanted to change my packaging, I
found a company.
16
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,120
It was Roma Glass and they
wouldn't supply me because I was
17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,440
a woman.
And thanks for coming in.
18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,080
And I'm just wondering how are
we going to introduce you and
19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,520
how do we introduce Someone Like
You?
20
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,680
Because you're absolutely
brilliant with what you've
21
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,120
achieved.
You've literally gone and built
22
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,360
a business from nothing to
everything.
23
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,880
You've done it by yourself.
You have no investors, you're
24
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,760
not getting much help.
You've done this yourself.
25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,640
You've suffered all the pain of
it and then you've got the
26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:35,040
rewards with an incredible skin
care brand and not only have you
27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,320
built a skin care brand, but
you're a innovator.
28
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:41,440
So you design the products, you
come up with these concepts,
29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,360
which is a very creative
process.
30
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,040
So you are building the
business.
31
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,280
You're also hugely creative and
hugely successful so I it's my
32
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,840
honour, absolute honour to have
you on here and learn, learn,
33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,400
learn, learn from you.
Well, do you know what,
34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,240
Alexandra?
It was absolutely fantastic to
35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,120
be invited on this amazing
podcast that you've got.
36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,040
And I am actually really
thrilled to be here.
37
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,759
I am.
I love the area.
38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,320
We were saying earlier, we, I
love the way people say hi.
39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,640
Yeah, it's great.
You know, it's a nice area, nice
40
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:17,360
friendly area.
That's nice.
41
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,720
I'm glad people have been have
good manners.
42
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,440
I mean, it's not always like
that, but it's nice.
43
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,800
It's nice when people say hello
and when they're friendly.
44
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,120
I don't even believe that I've
done you justice with the
45
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,480
introduction.
So I would like to know how you
46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,480
see yourself.
Like what do you do and how do
47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,360
you see?
What do you do what you do and
48
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,320
do you feel that you're
successful?
49
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,960
I do feel I'm successful, but I
think success is probably
50
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,200
through the mirror of somebody
else's eyes to be honest,
51
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,640
because it was through my eyes.
I've never achieved enough
52
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,320
through other people.
Obviously I, I am.
53
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,840
I can be in a restaurant and
people can recognise me and they
54
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,760
can be thrilled about my
products.
55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:10,000
They love using my products.
And I think, yeah, I get fan
56
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,280
mail.
I got some more fan mail this
57
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:19,920
week which is all all very nice
and I don't know what obviously
58
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:26,440
when you are what, what says
success to me.
59
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:34,280
I think when I was younger there
is things that I did want and I
60
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:39,200
achieved those and they said
success to me.
61
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,240
But now success is a different
conversation.
62
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,640
So it's.
Changed, it's a change, it's a
63
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,160
change conversation.
So if you take yourself sort of
64
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:58,320
back to when I first started
out, I mean, maybe, maybe I'll
65
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,320
mention obviously I'm flying all
over the world, I'm in palaces,
66
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,120
I'm meeting people, I'm meeting
friends of very important people
67
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,600
and they're they are really,
really lovely to me.
68
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:17,360
So that actually does say
success because you're there or
69
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,200
you're in the right place, the
right place.
70
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,279
Hanging around the palace, I
mean.
71
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,920
Hanging around the palace, yeah.
We do more than hanging around
72
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,440
but.
We'll get but also hanging
73
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,520
around the people around the
palace, Yeah, that look after
74
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,920
the palace or speak to the
palace and things like that,
75
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,760
which I had a really wonderful
meeting with an amazing person
76
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:44,040
that sort of so and and I
probably wouldn't have met that
77
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,600
person if I hadn't been involved
with the palace.
78
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,400
Gosh.
So I was very lucky.
79
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,520
I don't want to go into tea.
I know.
80
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,720
I know you.
I know.
81
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,040
We'll be careful.
But it is you have to be
82
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,360
careful.
But and that was like, oh wow,
83
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,800
that's nice.
Isn't that nice?
84
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:07,840
That's so, you know, somebody,
you know, and, and, and I feel
85
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:10,440
very honoured when I get these
things.
86
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,240
You know they're not.
Something I've noticed about you
87
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,800
and because Sammy is saying
who's coming in?
88
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,400
Who's coming in?
Who are you interviewing today?
89
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,560
And and I was saying to him, and
one thing I had to say about you
90
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,240
is that despite all your
success, and you do literally
91
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,760
hang around the palace and you
rub shoulders with these amazing
92
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,200
people and you've achieved
enormous success professionally.
93
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,760
You're a very down to earth,
relaxing person to be around.
94
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,840
But OK, let's let's get into
this.
95
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:44,560
So you're known as the
facialists to Royals and, you
96
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,800
know, a star celebrities.
So for those that are watching
97
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,200
that don't know what a facialist
is, what is that?
98
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:57,480
So I'm actually a fully
qualified beauty therapist and I
99
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,600
actually make my own skin care
range.
100
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:07,160
Made it for years and and love
it so to be a facialist, a
101
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,240
facialist has to be somebody
that's very special and
102
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,360
different.
And what I do in my treatments
103
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,480
is people have said it's
miraculous.
104
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,640
They levitate out of their body
and they feel incredibly.
105
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,920
This is the things that they say
they feel incredibly different.
106
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:36,480
Some people cry, some don't.
Their face gets altered into an
107
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,400
another sort of look.
Yeah, 10 years younger is quite
108
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,440
an easy thing to say, but it's
not that.
109
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,000
It's like a childlike look that
they gain from not just the skin
110
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,360
care, but the manipulation of
the head and and the body and
111
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,080
the transformation of their.
They're literally their soul,
112
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,720
really.
So we train this all over the
113
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:07,920
world.
I like to hope that I'm, like,
114
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,960
really good.
And the people I train aren't
115
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,200
actually as good as me, right?
But are.
116
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,360
They good as.
Well, they're pretty good.
117
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,880
They are pretty good.
I've trained, we've trained them
118
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:25,400
really well, but I actually feel
that that is my, my, my life and
119
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,920
the way I want to be.
I want to be good to people and
120
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,800
look after people and I really
don't mind if they are royalty
121
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:41,360
or if they are anybody really,
you know, please don't think I
122
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,960
would be just only doing
celebrities or anything like
123
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:45,360
that.
It's quite.
124
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,360
An intimate thing to get.
So you, you've got the skin care
125
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,360
business, you've got these
products and we'll get into it.
126
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,200
You, you actually design the
product, you know what goes into
127
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,800
them and you choose what goes
into them.
128
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,440
But then you're also the
facialist and you've, you've,
129
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,080
you've done this for how many
years now have you been doing?
130
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:05,000
This Well, yeah, 30 years, our
business is incorporated.
131
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:12,480
I say ours, mine and my daughter
Ella, yes, and but obviously I
132
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,560
was 18. 18 when you started with
this whole.
133
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,240
Yeah, little cow.
Well, I didn't have a couch to
134
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,000
begin with.
I had AI had actually the the
135
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,400
their bed, their their, their
city.
136
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,960
So I'd go round to the house.
I couldn't afford any skin care
137
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,200
products, so I'd make a product
and leave it with them.
138
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,960
Gosh, and how did you know what
to make it with?
139
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,520
Because I was trained, so I was
trained.
140
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,679
I'm thoroughly trained in skin
care making.
141
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,480
So that is actually part of my
my higher national diploma
142
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,000
course, degree course.
Because to do that, it's a, it's
143
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,840
a very intimate thing.
You really come up and close to
144
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,280
someone, you know, and that
person, in a way, they're
145
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,520
vulnerable as well.
They sort of lie in there and,
146
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,240
and you're working on their face
and you're doing all these
147
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,840
treatments and it is a very,
it's like a connection.
148
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,160
It, it, it, it was a really
beautiful connection every time
149
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,280
because and I couldn't even
afford a diary.
150
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,760
So I'd remember their, their
time slot in my head.
151
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,920
And so I would only book them.
It's really funny because I, I
152
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,160
look back to what happened to me
then and it created my business
153
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,600
and I will mention it now
because I could only remember
154
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,920
every two weeks.
So I couldn't, they couldn't
155
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,480
book on every three weeks.
So without to book every week or
156
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:37,040
every every two weeks.
And to be absolutely truthful,
157
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:43,280
it was actually a all of these
things made me more successful,
158
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,960
like handing them the product
free afterwards when they were
159
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,080
going to buy it, I would always
hand a product free.
160
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,160
But in my head I would be
handing it free.
161
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,760
They would be purchasing it, but
I would be handing it free
162
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,640
because being quite healing sort
of person, I'm not really one, a
163
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,760
big one on selling things.
So that actually changed the,
164
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,400
the attitude of me.
So every time I hand something
165
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,200
over, I'm sort of in my head,
it's like free.
166
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,320
It's not that they're they're
paying, so they're paying for
167
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,800
the product now, but it's like
our most beautiful product, our
168
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:28,800
most gorgeous product is it's an
age defiance anti aging product.
169
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,960
And so this is my favorite
product of all time.
170
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,080
It's not the best seller at the
moment because we don't
171
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,880
publicise it.
And this is the one that stopped
172
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,080
me having acne.
So I absolutely love this
173
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,080
product but it's stopped me
having acne and actually keeps
174
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:54,120
me younger.
So it's a beautiful product and
175
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,440
it's one of the key ingredients
to my range, I believe.
176
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,960
What is the product?
So it's called Age Defiance
177
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,120
Moisturizer.
And what's it got in it that
178
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,640
that defies age?
It's.
179
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,840
Got it's got an ingredient
called DSH.
180
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,120
So there's a lot of hyaluronic
out acids out there, but they're
181
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,760
not all equal.
And this one is the best of the
182
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,880
bunch.
It's called demethanol salon
183
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:28,840
hyaluronate, and I found this
ingredient at a very difficult
184
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:34,640
time in my career, which I'll
tell you about in a second, but
185
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,400
it was very, very expensive.
It's still very expensive and
186
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,640
the reason it's so expensive
probably is because nobody uses
187
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,240
it, only me.
And I think that makes the
188
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,880
product so much more, the
ingredients so much more
189
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,960
expensive.
And hopefully nobody will look
190
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,960
at it and pinch it out there,
but it makes the skin look very,
191
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,520
very young, very sort of it.
It makes the skin come out, pop
192
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,760
out and you can use it under
your eyes.
193
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,080
And it's just gorgeous, gorgeous
ingredient.
194
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:11,280
Anyway, I founded that I found
that ingredient because over the
195
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,920
time what happened to me is I
was doing treatments on people
196
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:22,200
in their own home.
Then I'd go various different
197
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:33,120
places around, and I actually
arrived at a health club and
198
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:37,720
they asked me if I wanted to
join this health club.
199
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:46,200
And I said obviously, yes.
And they said, look, we've got a
200
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,120
room here.
We know you're a good
201
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,760
beautician.
We've heard about you.
202
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,520
Would you like to have this
room?
203
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,080
And I said, yeah, yeah.
Sure.
204
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:59,120
And so I had this room and they
opened the door and it was a
205
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,760
disabled toilet.
They took the toilet out but it
206
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,160
was square so I had to move the
couch every time I wanted to go
207
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,720
round the side.
Right, OK.
208
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,240
But that was my first treatment
room.
209
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,680
So when I was there at that was
the Holiday Inn at Telford.
210
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,600
That's where it was.
And then I did really, really
211
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,480
well there.
And I kept on giving the
212
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,920
products to people.
And I was so busy with that
213
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,200
Holiday Inn at Telford that I
couldn't make the products
214
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,040
myself at home because I was too
busy.
215
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:41,400
I got really, really busy and if
you can imagine, £13,000 is an
216
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,160
OK amount of money to take every
month now.
217
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:50,240
But then like when I was 28 and
I'm 60 now, that's a long time
218
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,960
ago to be taking £13,000 a month
and that's what I was doing.
219
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,520
So you can imagine the level of
input that I had to do with the
220
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,000
staff and everything with two
beauty rooms, which was one a
221
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000
disabled toilet and the other
one was a sun bedroom.
222
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,160
How small?
A sun bedroom is very long and
223
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,720
thin.
Anyway, basically that was it.
224
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,400
So I went to another company and
I said, can can you make my
225
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,960
products for me?
And me as excited as I was, I've
226
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,600
said this product is really
amazing because it does this and
227
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,080
it only does this because of
this ingredient.
228
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,440
Like I'm telling you about the
age defiance, demethanol,
229
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,960
salamol, hyaluronate, and I'm
telling you that ingredient.
230
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,800
I'm telling you how young you'll
look and everything else.
231
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,760
So do you know what they did?
They stole all my formulas.
232
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,360
Yeah, yeah.
IP.
233
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,880
Yeah, and they stole everything
and I'd paid them thousands of
234
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:52,880
pounds.
Yeah.
235
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,240
Terrible.
It was terrible.
236
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,600
But it was a learning curve for
me.
237
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:07,000
And when I did this, I saw that
they had stolen my products,
238
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,560
stolen my formulas that I'd
given them freely.
239
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,840
I'd been so excited I hadn't
signed.
240
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,280
Anything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
241
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,960
That happens in business.
That happens is a lot of
242
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,840
stories.
I didn't think I needed to
243
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,400
anyway.
So for four days I cried.
244
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,880
I cried a lot.
And then I thought, do you know
245
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:28,920
what?
I'll just make it better.
246
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:34,280
And this ingredient, somebody
actually told me about this
247
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,040
ingredient.
Most of my products I, I'll tell
248
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,440
you about that, but most of my
other ingredients are different.
249
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,760
But this particular ingredient,
somebody told me about it and
250
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:51,120
he, this person said this is the
best ingredient, but nobody
251
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,040
wants to use it because it's too
expensive.
252
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,160
I said I'll have it, I'll have
it.
253
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,720
And it was amazing.
If it's that good.
254
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:05,360
Now, if I hadn't had that
experience, Victoria Beckham
255
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,480
wouldn't have phoned me.
She wouldn't have phoned me up
256
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,440
and thanked me for my Age
Defiance moisturizer.
257
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:17,320
So and because she did thank me,
it was in the papers.
258
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,720
And obviously that's a
relationship that builds up,
259
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,120
isn't it?
But what happens with that is
260
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,120
that was a bad thing that
happened to me and it created a
261
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,920
good thing.
Yeah, and it's and you've
262
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,120
learned from it, but it's a
horrible thing to have gone
263
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,400
through.
Yeah, but you can't look at the
264
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,160
negatives.
You've got to look at the
265
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,840
positives that you gained from
it.
266
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:48,400
Yeah, gosh, mindset.
That's the mindset of a
267
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,360
successful woman right there.
Let's go back a little bit.
268
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,520
So you're a facialist, you've
got this intimate connection
269
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,280
with these people up close and
personal.
270
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,000
You want to heal them.
You want to let them have this
271
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,839
lovely experience.
You want them to only have the
272
00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:09,839
best on their face.
All these things you inspire to
273
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:12,359
have this product line, you want
to give them these products.
274
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,400
And then you find yourself as
the facialist for Queen Camilla
275
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,880
that this, this is what the the
papers are saying.
276
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,680
So you can say what you can say
and don't say what you can't
277
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,119
say.
But again, that's an intimate
278
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,920
relationship.
And of course, you've got to be
279
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,760
extremely good and know what
you're doing and the pressure's
280
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,040
on you.
You better not make any
281
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,880
mistakes.
I'm sure you've got everyone
282
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,720
watching you.
But yeah, it must be quite a
283
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,720
quite an interesting position to
be in You're.
284
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:47,840
Saying you're saying like, OK,
and I what I want to do is bring
285
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:54,000
this back to not just me, but to
anything in the people that are
286
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,760
watching this, anything in their
life that's negative or they're
287
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,160
worried about all their sort of
thing.
288
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:06,280
So because what I want to say is
obviously I'm I get the phone
289
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:12,160
call from the palace, literally
a palace.
290
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,960
Do you want to come and do a
treatment on then?
291
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:23,640
Camilla Parker Bowles So so The
thing is about things that are
292
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,920
are amazing.
You've got an idea of whether
293
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:35,720
you because people can fear
success as much as they can fear
294
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,200
failure.
So you have to have an
295
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:46,280
achievement or something or a
pattern of something to make
296
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,160
sure you go towards that
achievement.
297
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,960
Because sometimes you can avoid
it.
298
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,080
Something that's really good for
you, you can, you can actually
299
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,400
like backpedal.
And it's a funny thing that
300
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,280
people don't actually realise
they're doing.
301
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,160
And I think it's important to
know these things because if I
302
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,920
hadn't had previous experience,
which I will mention in a little
303
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:16,360
while, I wouldn't have greeted
this with open heart and open I
304
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:20,440
wouldn't have done.
So it's like, yeah, Camilla
305
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,840
Parker Bowles going to be going
to a palace.
306
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,840
Yeah.
OK, I'm in there.
307
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,880
I'm doing.
That's OK.
308
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,280
What do I wear?
That's fine.
309
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,160
What do I wear?
What do you wear?
310
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,360
What do you do?
I believe in what I'm doing,
311
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:33,720
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah.
312
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,120
I'm OK.
There was no negatives when I
313
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:41,600
got to the palace straight away.
I didn't have to take a couch.
314
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,360
They'd got their set up there,
but somebody was using that at
315
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,200
that time.
So they said maybe you're not
316
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,520
going to do a treatment today
because that's busy, That area's
317
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,800
busy.
And I thought, OK, it's not
318
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,720
right yet.
Now that's important because if
319
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,000
you go, let it go, it's not
right yet.
320
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,960
Anyway, so, yeah, coming
through, you're fine.
321
00:20:08,120 --> 00:20:10,440
I love that attitude.
It's not right.
322
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,480
Yeah, you've got to do that.
You've got to let it go.
323
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,440
You can't hold onto.
It's like, I've got to do this.
324
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:23,720
Well, you haven't got to do it
because give up like just, you
325
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,040
know, let it go.
And I did.
326
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:34,480
And then as I walk in, I'm like
not walking into a person that's
327
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,880
so important.
And obviously they are and but I
328
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:41,520
appreciate the things about
them.
329
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,080
Yeah, yeah.
And I think, wow, this lady is
330
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,600
such a nice lady.
I actually like her.
331
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,960
Yeah, yeah, she's I'm going to
be doing a treatment.
332
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,640
I'm going to be doing a
treatment on this lady that I
333
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,640
actually AM.
The way she greeted me,
334
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:56,800
everything.
I like her.
335
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,400
So I did.
And.
336
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,320
And we got on like a house on
fire.
337
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,680
I did actually manage to meet
the king at that same occasion.
338
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,680
How did that feel?
It's like I'm meeting the king.
339
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,200
I'm meeting the king.
Yeah.
340
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,560
OK.
Let it go.
341
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,360
Relax, Breathe.
Breathe.
342
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,880
Yeah.
And then carry on.
343
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,800
Trust yourself.
And that's the thing about it,
344
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:31,080
you know, that is it.
Yeah, trust yourself and and
345
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,320
don't panic.
It's.
346
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:37,080
Funny, but it's the panicking is
like the panicking would come
347
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,800
from something that you're not
good at.
348
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:45,280
If you if you've done your job
right or you do do your job
349
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,440
right, drive a car, you don't.
Need to, yeah.
350
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,400
You know where to go, A to B.
You've looked at the map.
351
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,160
You know the thing.
It's sort of that sort of
352
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,560
behavior.
Really.
353
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,880
Yeah.
Have you put the work in?
354
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:06,120
Did you do, you know, it's sort
of like put that particular
355
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:09,960
amount of work in just that
small amount of work or the
356
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,160
larger amount of work to learn
something.
357
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,040
I've learnt things that I enjoy
doing.
358
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,480
Prepare yourself, you know, put
the work in and and the rest
359
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,240
follows with confidence.
It's true because yeah, yeah,
360
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,800
yeah, it's true.
So you launched your skin care
361
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,800
company basically from this
toilet that was a converted
362
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,760
toilet and you had to that.
That was the treatment room.
363
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,360
Oh, and I loved it And and don't
think, don't grate.
364
00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:39,960
I didn't think that.
Yeah, I was grateful.
365
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,360
You know it's.
It was the first place.
366
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:45,360
That's where it started.
But if you think about even
367
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:48,320
that, even that DAFF thing,
yeah.
368
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,440
When I was doing my beauty
course, which was a good beauty
369
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,520
course, it was a really
efficient beauty course.
370
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,120
And it taught me a lot of
things.
371
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,360
And I'd got some great teachers.
But one day there was something
372
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:02,280
they were teaching me and I was
very bored.
373
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,440
And there was a blackboard that
they were teaching me something.
374
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,200
They were teaching me how to
write cheque books and stuff
375
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,320
like that for finance to do with
running your own business.
376
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,560
But I was already there really.
And I was a little bit bored
377
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,480
about it.
And I, I sort of used the, the
378
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,560
blackboard and I moved these
white things around and I moved
379
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,680
everything around in my head.
And I said, right, I'm going to
380
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,280
go mobile beauty therapist, I'm
going to leave college, I'm
381
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,240
going to get mobile beach
therapist, make my own skin
382
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,520
care.
Then I'm going to go to health
383
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,000
clubs.
I'm going to go to health clubs
384
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:43,840
and sports centres because the
hotels, because those will pay
385
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,960
the rent.
The rent won't be so much.
386
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,840
I can get more done, employ
people, plan this, plan that
387
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,040
from there.
I'm going to be here, then I'm
388
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,360
going to be there.
And that was about it.
389
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,520
Forgot.
Everything can I ask while
390
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,440
you're doing this?
So, so you've got this vision of
391
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,040
I want to be here with the
health clubs, I want to be doing
392
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,120
this, this and that.
But whilst you're planning all
393
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:09,080
of this, you're also thinking
about the finances, the money,
394
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:09,680
how are.
Things.
395
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,960
No, I didn't.
No I didn't.
396
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,480
No, I just literally thought
there was the board moving it
397
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,920
all around.
This is what I want to do now.
398
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,240
You should think about finances
and things like that, but I
399
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,920
didn't.
So that day, that day when I
400
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,320
arrived at the health club,
which amazed can I say who I
401
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,760
arrived at the faith at the
health club with.
402
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,080
So one of my mobile customer,
I'd got really, really busy with
403
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:41,000
the mobile and people were on
waiting lists and one of the
404
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:41,640
people.
Customer.
405
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,320
So you mean travelling to the
customer?
406
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,440
Yeah, travelling to the
customer, so mobile beauty
407
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,920
therapist, it's a great job to
be honest because you get to go
408
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,800
into the houses and things like
that.
409
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,760
It's lovely.
And one of the mobile customers
410
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,080
that I'd go to that had been
waiting for about 3 months was
411
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,640
Tracy, Tracy Taylor, which was
the wife of Andy Taylor out of
412
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,640
Duran Duran.
OK, so she'd had to wait three
413
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,760
months for me because there was
only one of me and yeah, wasn't
414
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,480
many hours in the day.
Anyway, I started to become
415
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,320
friends with her and she said
let's join the health club
416
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,280
together.
So it was with her that I walked
417
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:23,440
in and they said that do you
fancy having a treatment room
418
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,640
here?
So I'd said yes.
419
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,880
It ended up being a disabled
toilet.
420
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,840
But when I was sitting there in
that disabled toilet doing the
421
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:37,400
facials and body massage as
well, I thought that was on my
422
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,560
blackboard.
Yeah, and I'm here.
423
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,720
All I had to do was think about
it and I'm here so.
424
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,880
Deborah, that's.
What happened then is that
425
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,440
achieved itself.
I didn't have to do anything, so
426
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,360
I thought about it.
It achieved itself.
427
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:58,760
What is that?
What is that?
428
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,720
Is the manifestation?
Is it the power of the mind?
429
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,000
What?
It is, but, but what you've got
430
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,400
to do is realize that it's
happened.
431
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,800
So once you realize it can
happen, think about something,
432
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,040
it arrives, think about
something, it arrives, then you
433
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,360
plan, think about something,
think about all of the finances
434
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:27,000
around it that arrives.
Think about how you feel about
435
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,800
it, how you feel.
So then, then this was all it's
436
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,240
happened to me.
I've thought about something.
437
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,520
It happened, happened.
Because my next question was,
438
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,400
how did you feel about it?
Literally.
439
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,840
Yeah.
Well, this is it.
440
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:45,080
It's like amazing, amazing.
It's fulfilling what you want
441
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,760
and you were happy with the way
things.
442
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,400
Were, I mean, yeah, we've got to
say I'm sitting in a sable
443
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:55,080
toilet.
So yeah, that turned into a
444
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:56,680
beauty room.
But you're positively.
445
00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:00,240
Well, yeah, yeah.
Because I'm earning all this
446
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,120
money and then they give me
another one and then somebody
447
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:05,920
else comes and sees, sees what I
do with that hotel.
448
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,120
They give me another hotel and
I'm sitting there thinking that
449
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:14,760
was on my blackboard.
And then I'm passing people
450
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,600
these skin care and everything.
It's when you start actually
451
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,920
changing your thought process,
because I think negative thought
452
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,200
process only will breed
negativity.
453
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,560
So please, just don't do it.
Don't even think it, don't even
454
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,000
bother with it.
Just don't go there.
455
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,600
Yeah, just forget it.
Gosh, OK.
456
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,200
And with this situation, was it
still, was it on you, everything
457
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,600
on you?
Or did you stop building out a
458
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,760
team somehow or what's?
The process, of course, because
459
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,440
I trained beauty therapists and
occasionally the beauty
460
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,920
therapist would say to me,
you've given us all that your
461
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,840
knowledge.
Do you think that's a good idea?
462
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,840
You know, we can leave and take
all this knowledge.
463
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,760
I said no because I like it.
I like giving people knowledge
464
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,840
because I can gain more
knowledge.
465
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:07,120
Can they?
I don't know interesting way to.
466
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:09,120
Look at it, yeah.
That's how I think.
467
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,120
Yeah, not competition
whatsoever, but they're working
468
00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:14,520
with you.
And what you're doing is you're
469
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,200
expanding into a business now
because it's not, well, it is
470
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,600
still a business.
It can be just you, but you're
471
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,000
now you're scaling at this
point.
472
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,880
So you're building, you're
getting more people, more.
473
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,920
Exactly.
Training everybody and you're
474
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,400
building the South.
So every single month I'd train
475
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,080
them every month, and they'd get
better and better and better.
476
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,480
So let's start off at 8:00 in
the morning till 10:00 at night.
477
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,040
Obviously, I had the experience
where those people stole my skin
478
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:40,880
care.
Yeah.
479
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,400
Terrible.
Then I sort of, I'm a little bit
480
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,120
psychic.
You are?
481
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,240
Yeah.
And so, oh, gosh, I'm psychic
482
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,640
sometimes.
So part of my treatment and my
483
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,840
healing, you know, so when I do
it, I still get a get an idea or
484
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,680
a thought process and I think
someone's pregnant.
485
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,800
So I'll go around all my staff
and I goes literally like almost
486
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,680
sniffing them.
Are you pregnant?
487
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,240
No, are you pregnant?
Somebody's pregnant, somebody's
488
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,720
pregnant.
It's like this fever and
489
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:22,160
feeling.
Anyway, I thought actually have
490
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,880
I had a period, It was me that
was pregnant and they, I mean,
491
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,000
it's funny.
It was funny.
492
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,480
It was funny that I knew
somebody was pregnant, but I
493
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:37,720
didn't know it was me.
Anyway, so had a baby and Ella
494
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:43,360
was born my my first child.
And I have actually got another
495
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,840
child called Christopher 18
months apart.
496
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,520
But Ella was my first born and.
How old is Ella now?
497
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,880
So she's 28 now.
And Christopher's 27, he's going
498
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,280
to be 28.
There's 18 months of art.
499
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,400
So they're very close together,
so.
500
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,360
But Ella, you do look.
Incredibly young.
501
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,840
Let me.
Just for someone who's got a 28,
502
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,560
like literally.
Oh, thank you for saying that.
503
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,560
But it was 60.
I'm 60 in Yeah, in in November
504
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:13,360
the 7th.
So.
505
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,120
What you can do is it's easy to
sell.
506
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,480
Your process to go proof is in
the pudding.
507
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:23,040
I use my own products.
What I value about my products
508
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,960
is if, say, if I've sent some
products to somebody or
509
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,000
somebody's bought some and they
come back to me, I can tell
510
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,400
whether they're using them and
they're not because I can see
511
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:39,200
the look on their face, the the
skin looks young, fresh.
512
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,640
Yeah, you all know.
Yeah.
513
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,800
But also I can tell that because
you're a you're, you've got this
514
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,120
facialist, it's you live this,
you live what you do in many.
515
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:50,880
Ways.
Oh, I do, yeah.
516
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,240
When we sat down, you look at
the skin, I'm like.
517
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,000
I'm not a get tall.
Your skin, your skin looks
518
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,480
really great.
Yeah.
519
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,600
It looks very, very good.
Yeah.
520
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,120
Thank you very much.
That is a compliment I'm going
521
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,480
to take for sure, for sure, for
sure.
522
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,160
So you're building a business
and you're scaling and you've
523
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,240
got these people and you're
training them and that's OK
524
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,720
because you want them to learn.
And, and that's absolutely fine
525
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,160
because you are confident in
yourself that you will read,
526
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,640
you'll learn anyway.
So you're not threatened by by
527
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:25,960
anything in in no negativity.
And what's the moment where you
528
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,880
thought, well, actually, I mean,
at which point did you realize
529
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,240
this is actually going to now be
a really big thing?
530
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,040
Like I'm, you know, what's that
moment for you or.
531
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,040
Was it?
There isn't a moment, No, and
532
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,760
it's not gradual.
It's not gradual.
533
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:47,960
In the back of my head I'm I'm
going to be the next Lord of but
534
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,680
alive.
That was in the back of my head.
535
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,600
There was no two ways about it
in that, you know, I knew.
536
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,320
I knew what I was going to
achieve, the people.
537
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,520
Around you, did they know like?
No, they didn't.
538
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,840
They didn't.
And did you?
539
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,400
Tell anyone, did they go?
Oh, come on.
540
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,000
Yeah, we did.
No, we, I if you start talking
541
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,640
and telling people that you're
going to do this, I think you
542
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,880
never do, you know, it's a
procrastination, I think.
543
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,160
I think just don't say a word.
Really don't say a word.
544
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,640
It's just I know I.
Sometimes feel that if I say it,
545
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:35,080
then I, I'm held accountable and
I, I like the pressure, but then
546
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,200
it's, it's like what you said
that then it also comes with the
547
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,160
stress or you're sort of whereas
if you keep it to yourself and
548
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,040
it's your thing, you can go with
your pace and you don't feel
549
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:46,520
this like.
No, I come on.
550
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,320
That's, that's all different.
Yeah, that's all different.
551
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,480
So, you know, I think, I think
giving yourself goals and
552
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,760
writing those goals down could
be a good thing.
553
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,960
They're very, very much a good
thing.
554
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,720
But sitting around, I'm going to
be this, I'm going to be that.
555
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,800
Talking about it, you mean?
That's never going to.
556
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,040
Happen.
No, it's never going to happen
557
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,200
like going I'm definitely this
is it.
558
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:18,880
So if you silently write it
down, what you want and what you
559
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:24,760
want to achieve around that,
which is goal, plus how you
560
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:29,640
feel, how you're going to feel,
that was constantly on my mind.
561
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,200
I love goal with how you feel
and how you're going to feel.
562
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,680
I love that because you're
looking after your, you know,
563
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,120
your own mental health, you're
looking after how you're
564
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,760
responding to that success and
whether that's right for you.
565
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,080
And you've kind of got to take
yourself with, don't you on this
566
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,640
journey and.
Exactly.
567
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,720
I just, I love.
That I've never thought about it
568
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:49,160
in that.
Way.
569
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,480
But it's, it's really strange
because it is, it's, it's held
570
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,240
like there were so many things
that happened to me.
571
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:01,800
Having children takes your time
away from where your goal is,
572
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,640
because when you look at
something that you want to
573
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,679
achieve, you have to say what do
you want to lose to gain that?
574
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,560
And obviously not children's
happiness, not family happiness
575
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:20,560
is what you want to prepared to
lose to get your dream or your
576
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,040
goal.
So that does take a bit more
577
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,120
time.
So that's like a bit more when
578
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,320
you're single and you've got no
kids.
579
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,760
So no, dependency is different,
yeah.
580
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,320
Yeah, so you've, you've
mentioned Victoria Beckham,
581
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,639
you've you've treated these
celebrities.
582
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,120
So this is, this is who I have
on the on the list of Victoria
583
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:45,400
Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow.
I mean these are all mega A list
584
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,000
celebrities.
It's funny with Gwyneth Paltrow,
585
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:53,600
it's like, because there was all
this what happens with me and I
586
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,360
don't know why it happens, but
it's like the bees and the bee
587
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,800
venom and the the everything
about it.
588
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:08,040
Then it creates a media storm.
It created a media storm around
589
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,880
everything.
So just so people that don't
590
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,080
know, so they won't be aware.
So there's just just explain
591
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,120
this connection between the BS
and your partners.
592
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,680
Let's go, because they.
Won't know, right.
593
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:25,360
So the whole time that I was
working, I was building up my
594
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,880
client, my clients, but I was
also building up My Portfolio of
595
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,720
products.
And I reached a stage where my
596
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:38,760
skin and my products probably
didn't level out.
597
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:45,080
Like I'd got my Age Defiance.
I'd got wonderful hydro
598
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:50,240
cleansing milk toners and
polishes that polished little
599
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:53,560
lines away.
So I'd got a Polish that
600
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,040
polished lines away and it was
brilliant.
601
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:03,040
And I sold those products and I
had people like Theo Fajitas
602
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:09,360
offering to give me money, OK
before his Dragon Den
603
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,080
appearance.
And I went out several times in
604
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:17,560
several meetings.
And he he's he's really clever
605
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,720
because he knows what's good.
Yeah, even before I knew how
606
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,720
good I was.
And I won't doubt and say I am
607
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:27,520
good.
Yeah, he he.
608
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:33,600
Saw you and his he saw saw saw
me and and offered 150,000 and
609
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,680
which I needed at the time and I
didn't.
610
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,040
I didn't say yes to it, but it
was Why?
611
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,480
Didn't you say?
Yes, I didn't.
612
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,120
I asked the question to myself
and the answer came back no.
613
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,720
Literally no thanks to 150,000.
Yeah, I need to change my
614
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:53,800
packaging and I needed 150 and
he was going to give it me and
615
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,240
then it said shall I do it?
No.
616
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:02,200
That's a moment.
There's lots of moments.
617
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,760
There's such a moment.
There's so many moments like
618
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,480
that.
Goodness me, I think our bodies
619
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,800
know what's right for us.
I think our future is mapped
620
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,840
out.
Gosh.
621
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,680
I don't.
I don't doubt that my future was
622
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:22,760
mapped out well.
I had the very first guest that
623
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,520
I, that I got on the show was
Mark Wright who won The
624
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,400
Apprentice and he's now living
in Australia in a beautiful
625
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,760
house by the lake.
And he said to me, you know,
626
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,760
there's a reason why I'm here.
And the reason is because I
627
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,040
engineered my life in this way
to have it exactly like it is
628
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,400
now.
And I really love the term that
629
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,600
he engineered his life because
he made it, you know, he knew
630
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,880
exactly that he wanted to live
by a lake.
631
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,080
He wanted to have the sort of
wife, kid, the situation, this
632
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:58,080
kind of business and the journey
was, you know, a bit crazy to
633
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,360
get there, but he he, that's the
term that he used.
634
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,840
Do you see it in a?
Way I do, I do see it.
635
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,840
I do see it there, but there is
an extra.
636
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:06,880
Bit as well.
An extra bit.
637
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,760
Yeah, I.
Thought I do think so there is
638
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:15,360
an engineering and you can
engineer, you know you, you can
639
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,760
engineer things and you can
visualize them.
640
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,720
But also, I do think you have to
say to yourself, trust, trust in
641
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:29,680
a hire thing or something knows
what's better for you.
642
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,240
If it doesn't go that right way,
just go.
643
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:40,520
Yeah, OK, Let the direction go
where it should do and whoever's
644
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,680
pushing it.
And it's it's really good
645
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,520
because it gives you a rest.
It gives you a rest from all
646
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,960
this negativity.
There is a lot more.
647
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,640
I mean, in this podcast, I can't
tell you, but I have researched
648
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,760
why it works and I do understand
it.
649
00:38:57,720 --> 00:39:03,320
So there is a lot more to it.
And the brain is a massive thing
650
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,560
that that does things for us.
But I don't know the connection
651
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:12,520
between.
I really do feel that I was
652
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,680
supposed to be where I am.
Wow.
653
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,840
And you feel it.
You feel it deeply.
654
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,680
You feel it deeply.
OK, let's go back to the to
655
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,880
break it down into its finest
form, which is this bee venom
656
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,040
inside the product did cause a
big stir.
657
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,360
Yeah, and you see, why is the
connection, what's going back to
658
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,080
the the, the, the, the, the
power of something?
659
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:43,480
If you think about it, beauty
therapist in treatment rooms did
660
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,960
good.
I did OK, earned quite a bit of
661
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,800
money, put all my money into
making a few products.
662
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:56,520
Sounds all very good.
Then obviously I then struggled.
663
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,800
I sold to department stores.
I thought, this is going to be
664
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,880
it, this is going to be it, this
is going to be it.
665
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:09,600
Struggle, struggle, struggle.
Money hand over fist in a
666
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,280
department store, there's a lot
of money that it costs to run.
667
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,360
Products in a department store.
There's also a lot of politics.
668
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:23,600
There's also a lot of
everything, but basically I'm
669
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,680
there getting phone calls from
Victoria Beckham as I'm at the
670
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,440
department store floor.
Can't beat that, really.
671
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,440
No, you can't.
You know, it's got but the
672
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:39,240
success was not was not there
totally because it's like next
673
00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:42,000
month we need to make sure we
get this payment because I've
674
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,000
got to pay my staff.
Yeah, the pressures.
675
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:46,880
Yeah, the pressures there.
How are you?
676
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,800
Coping with the stress and the
thing I'm I have to pay the
677
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,840
bills and I have to do this now.
Because you're a creative.
678
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,440
Person.
Just work harder, just work
679
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,520
harder and, and you know, I'd
got two kids and then I'd be at
680
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,720
home.
Luckily I'd got a mum that
681
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:04,360
looked after them.
I didn't have a nanny but put a
682
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,240
lot of pressure on my husband to
be honest.
683
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,400
You know, he used to take the
brunt.
684
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,080
He'd got a business.
It's a big pressure for him.
685
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:17,960
I appreciate him very much.
But so all of these things
686
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:22,360
happen.
Then we were the top selling
687
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,560
brand in this department store.
And then you get all the
688
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,280
emotions of all the people in
the department store.
689
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,320
There was Estee Lauder and some
of the other people, Clarin's,
690
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,280
Estee Lauder, Dior.
We were beating all of those in
691
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:45,600
this department store and our
products are all organic bases,
692
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:51,240
organic ingredients and really
great quality and work and do
693
00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:53,080
their job.
They're not made in a lab.
694
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:58,640
They were they were made by me.
And so basically they are super
695
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:08,720
amazing and people love them.
So this one day they goes like,
696
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,360
we're not paying you this month,
so I don't know how to pay the
697
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,280
wages.
Well, we've got a cash flow
698
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,440
issue, you know, department
store.
699
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:24,440
Sorry I can't stay here if you
don't pay my wages.
700
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,960
Well, you know where you know
where the door is.
701
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,920
Literally.
So the door was there, so OK,
702
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,480
fair enough.
Brutal.
703
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:41,640
So then I took all the cash that
I'd got, opened a salon, took
704
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:47,480
all the staff there, and I'd got
the places and department
705
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,840
stores.
And then it's like, Oh my God,
706
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,240
what?
What happens now?
707
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,240
What's going to happen now?
And then I get the phone call
708
00:42:57,240 --> 00:43:00,520
from the palace.
The palace.
709
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:07,920
So basically it's like almost
there was a gap ready for the
710
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,560
palace because I hadn't got the
time to do the palace if I'd got
711
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,680
the department stores because I
was on on the counters and
712
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,760
checking everything.
So then I go off the palace
713
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,720
since so many years later, I'm
still doing the palace.
714
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:25,640
I look at them, there's worn
lines on my face.
715
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,600
I'm doing a treatment on Camilla
Parker Bowles and I look in one
716
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,320
of her beautiful mirrors.
Can't say anything about the
717
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,320
interior and the palace, not
allowed to.
718
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,480
But there was a beautiful mirror
there.
719
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:41,840
And I thought, my, my God, yeah.
I'm not frowning.
720
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,600
And I look like I've got I've
got lines I don't want.
721
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,920
I don't want Botox.
What can do?
722
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:53,240
That night I go go home and I
go, right?
723
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,160
I did this thing.
I do this thing.
724
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,000
You can laugh at me if you want.
So you take a drink.
725
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,000
Yeah.
You look at the corner of the
726
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:09,600
room and you go right, think
about what you want, drink it,
727
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,800
put the glass down.
Next morning, you pick up the
728
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:23,440
glass.
It's coffee and the answer comes
729
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,480
to you and the answer came to
me.
730
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,560
Bee venom and.
Gosh.
731
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,320
How that answer came to me?
Take a trigger.
732
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:37,000
Who knows?
Who knows how that answer came
733
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,320
to me?
Whether it was because my my
734
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,280
sister kept bees, I will never
know.
735
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:48,240
So whether that had gone in my
head and that had sort of
736
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,560
whether the bees themselves, you
think about something that's
737
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:57,000
going to plump something out,
but basically that product made
738
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:01,120
the skin younger.
And obviously my first customer
739
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,960
was Camilla Parker Bowles then,
and her skin was getting
740
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,640
younger.
There was other people that I
741
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,960
was doing and their skin was
getting younger using bee venom
742
00:45:13,720 --> 00:45:19,280
inner cream that I'd made with
honey and I called it the Bee
743
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,280
Venom mask.
The honey was quite sticky so it
744
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,920
had to be a mask.
It's not a mask now and it's an
745
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:30,760
incredible anti ageing product.
So I'm looking at you and I'm
746
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:37,440
using my my features, but I'm
not over stimulating them.
747
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:42,440
So that's why, yeah, that's why
it's the bee venom.
748
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:47,080
So what it does is it makes you
think you've had Botox or sorry,
749
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,720
not Botox injectables basically,
yeah, yeah.
750
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:53,960
And so it softens it all and
then it sends all the helpers
751
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,720
and all the anti ageing and
makes the skin younger.
752
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,480
So but it makes it tighter
everywhere.
753
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,640
So it's really good, releases
collagen, elastin and
754
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,720
everything.
The honey heals.
755
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:10,640
It's fresh honey, but I put it
in butters spoonsful of honey,
756
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,880
real honey.
It's not like a honey extract or
757
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,640
anything.
It's like a spoonful of honey.
758
00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:20,720
Wow, you know, literally and the
bee venom.
759
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:26,680
So this I was doing this
treatment, the honey, the
760
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,920
products were being loved by
people, the bee venom, but the
761
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,160
client's skin was getting
younger, It was getting less
762
00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:39,480
aggressive, like people with
redness and their their sore
763
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,160
skin.
But like I'd put something on
764
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,400
somebody's face and they'd be
red and then all the little
765
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,560
lines would come down and then
the whole neck would go smooth
766
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,960
and you'd see it all in front of
my eyes.
767
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,840
Then it's how much bee venom to
put in.
768
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,040
Could people have an allergic
reaction?
769
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:03,080
So the abitoxin was born, the
patent was born, so to make sure
770
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,960
no allergic reactions.
So it's a way I develop my
771
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,840
correctness.
Me, it's very scientific, but.
772
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,960
Very, very so.
Working and it's and then the
773
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,280
the global press went crazy for
this stuff, didn't they?
774
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,280
You.
Oh gosh, it just exploded,
775
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,440
right?
It did, but it didn't.
776
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:26,960
So the worst time in my life,
yes, when everything in my life
777
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,760
was going completely terrible.
I'd worked too hard.
778
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,400
I probably didn't put enough
effort into my family and to my
779
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,200
husband and we had a break.
OK.
780
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,520
And it was my fault, right?
Yet.
781
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,160
By break, you broke up.
The marriage broke up.
782
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:50,920
The marriage broke up because
because of me, I was working too
783
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,000
hard.
I was, you know, it wasn't him,
784
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,000
it was me.
So the marriage broke up and I
785
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,800
said, you know, I was like, So
what am I doing?
786
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,400
I'm going to divorce courts and
things like that.
787
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,680
And you know, I'm not going to,
you know, I'm not going to be,
788
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,320
you know, so then I get a phone
call.
789
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:16,560
Worst time in my life.
And it's like you're in the
790
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,880
press, which mean I'm in the
press.
791
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,000
It was the palace, you're in the
press.
792
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,440
I never said anything.
I never told either my mum that
793
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,000
I was doing the treatments on
royalty.
794
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,560
I couldn't.
I wasn't allowed to.
795
00:48:31,240 --> 00:48:33,080
Signed an NDAI wasn't allowed
to.
796
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,080
So basically it's like, yeah,
you're in the press.
797
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,840
So be careful.
Said who said?
798
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,360
I said, but we we said they
phoned up and the palace never
799
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:45,520
lies.
That's it.
800
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,720
That was the words they said.
If I get into trouble for saying
801
00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:53,320
that, I'll get into trouble.
But so I'm then driving along
802
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:59,280
and I can't speak to any press.
So then Daily Mail phones up and
803
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,000
said, look, we know you're in
the press.
804
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:06,160
We don't want to talk about
Camilla parka bowls, but we do
805
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,720
want to talk about is why are
these bees harmed by your
806
00:49:09,720 --> 00:49:12,360
product?
That's what they wanted to talk
807
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,360
about.
I said, well, the bees aren't
808
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,880
harmed.
Yeah, they that you're milking
809
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,600
the bees, the Stinger pay in a
glass, the stamen doesn't come
810
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,360
out.
They're fine and no one.
811
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,120
Dies in the.
Person, no one dies.
812
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,960
And not only that, I think it's
really good that bees are looked
813
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:32,200
after and every pot of cream we
give some money to some bees.
814
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,440
So basically that's it.
That one in the press with a big
815
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,840
picture of Camilla.
And your sister has bees, was
816
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,800
it?
And my sister, so there was a
817
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,200
picture of Camilla and a picture
of the bees and I hadn't said
818
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,960
anything and they took
everything in and said it all.
819
00:49:46,240 --> 00:49:47,920
And so I was like oh what the
heck.
820
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:53,920
Anyway, it went all over the
world and I became a multi
821
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,880
millionaire overnight.
Oh my goodness.
822
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:01,800
I was like, there was phone, I
hadn't got many staff.
823
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,560
I'd got a phone in this ear, a
phone in that ear.
824
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,240
I'd got 2 phones, one to phone
out of, one to answer the call
825
00:50:07,240 --> 00:50:09,600
and say sorry, can't speak to
you just yet.
826
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,400
Can I put the phone down?
Yes.
827
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,960
And this was on trains
everywhere.
828
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,680
There just wasn't enough.
Our staff were hiding.
829
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,320
I was thinking how do you scale
up at that level?
830
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,160
Like what do you even?
Do our staff were like hiding
831
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,960
piece of paper that people
wanted the product all over the
832
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,160
world.
They were hiding it under under
833
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,520
other things.
The money was flowing in.
834
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,160
It was coming through through
the website.
835
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,520
There was, you know, it was just
incredible, incredible.
836
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,960
And you know, everything that
I'd thought about was going to
837
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,840
happen was happening to me.
How did I feel?
838
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,440
Yeah, and your marriage was
breaking up and.
839
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,160
All I wanted was my marriage
back.
840
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:48,560
I didn't want that.
I didn't.
841
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:52,920
I wanted my marriage back, but
obviously I didn't get it back
842
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,920
straight away.
But I did get it back.
843
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:02,480
Eventually, yeah.
OK, so in the most crazy moment
844
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,880
when all this is kicking off,
your marriage is gone.
845
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,720
You're trying to get it back,
you're not getting it back, so
846
00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:11,320
you're not feeling happy at that
point.
847
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,320
No, I, I wasn't feeling happy.
But but, but, but money was
848
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,760
flowing in.
I was flying all over the world
849
00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:24,560
to everywhere.
And, you know, I I got off a
850
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:35,240
plane in Taiwan to the whole of
Taiwan, actually there all the
851
00:51:35,240 --> 00:51:37,960
film crew flashing and
everything and they've got
852
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,920
heaven written on there.
The name of the brand.
853
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,240
Yeah, the name of the brand on
their forehead.
854
00:51:43,240 --> 00:51:46,840
I've never seen that that like
they write it on their faces in
855
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:51,040
and it was like and there was
flowers and this that and the
856
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:57,000
other and all of this money was
coming in and it's just amazing
857
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:01,640
really that what you want out of
life is actually base things a
858
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,000
lot of the time.
You did that whole journey to
859
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,080
come back to this and.
How did?
860
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,680
You how did you repair this
relationship?
861
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:16,400
I trusted that it would work.
I kept on saying I did go to
862
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,800
counsellors and this counsellor
said to me, I said look, I'm
863
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,240
going to be back with my
husband.
864
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,040
And they said, look, there's
absolutely no way you're going
865
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,640
to be back with your husband.
He won't want you, right?
866
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,280
He just won't want you.
Lots of things won't go into it,
867
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,480
but there's no way you'll want
you anyway.
868
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,760
I said believe you me, I'm going
to be back with him.
869
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,360
OK.
Day before we were going to get
870
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,800
finally divorced, he goes.
Do you want to try again?
871
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,920
He goes yes please, and we're
back to you.
872
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,360
I'm very happy and I love my
husband very much.
873
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,040
I always did.
So good.
874
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,480
Yeah, and he's an amazing
person.
875
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:58,600
I I don't think I would be here
now today if it wasn't Pete.
876
00:52:59,240 --> 00:53:00,760
Well, you found your way back to
each other.
877
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,600
That's a lovely love story.
I love that.
878
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:03,920
That worked.
I love that.
879
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,560
I mean, no one forces two people
to be together.
880
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,080
So if you want to be together,
you're going to be together.
881
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,480
And that's just magnets.
You came back to each other and
882
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:13,920
I love that.
I love that.
883
00:53:15,720 --> 00:53:18,960
I'm going to take a look now.
It's at you, the entrepreneur,
884
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,440
you know, behind the business,
the personality type, you know
885
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:26,200
who you are behind this sort of,
you know, the entrepreneurial
886
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,000
side.
And I know that you've had these
887
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:33,080
personal struggles anyway, but
do you think that your
888
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:38,560
personality type fits with that
of what an expectation is of an
889
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:43,040
entrepreneur?
No, no, no, not at all.
890
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:50,880
No, because I'm too easy going.
Yeah, I am entrepreneurial as
891
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:56,160
such, but I think as ACEO of a
big company, like I, I have a
892
00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:04,200
big company and I don't think my
personality necessarily suits
893
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,200
what people think that narrative
should be like.
894
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:11,720
We've got wheels on my on on the
chairs and I sit on the chairs
895
00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:14,360
and I wheel myself round to sit
by somebody's desk.
896
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,400
I don't get up and walk.
And my daughter who works for me
897
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,040
now, she goes mum, that's not
professional.
898
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:23,240
I said I don't care, that's me,
you know, that is me.
899
00:54:23,240 --> 00:54:27,400
It's like the staff will say, I
said you're looking a bit tired.
900
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:28,720
Do you think you ought to go
home now?
901
00:54:28,720 --> 00:54:31,600
You're looking at you've worked
really hard this week.
902
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,480
Get off home.
My daughter goes, what do you
903
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,440
want about mom?
Right.
904
00:54:37,720 --> 00:54:40,680
Look, it's really sunny outside.
Let's go home.
905
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,040
Come on, let's go home.
Everything will be here
906
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:45,400
tomorrow.
Let's go home.
907
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,440
I'm like that.
And I do do that.
908
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,560
And it's not very often that I'm
the big boss.
909
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,400
My daughter is now the big boss.
To be honest, she's the so I
910
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,120
don't fit the scenario.
I don't fit the mould now.
911
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,600
But you probably do.
In a way you probably do because
912
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:08,280
you need that big personality,
the vision, the energy, the the
913
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,000
risk taking you, you know, yes,
we'll be OK.
914
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,160
And when everything goes all
crazy, you just let it be.
915
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,120
Let's try again.
How you have all that?
916
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,080
Oh, you're like me.
That's exactly what I think.
917
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,520
What you just said is exactly
what I think, because I always
918
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,600
think if somebody scratches my
car or I, you know, it's going
919
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,640
to be all right, doesn't matter
something fixing.
920
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,000
But and that's the same in all,
all of the things.
921
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:37,200
The thing I get bothered about
is emotionally if I've probably
922
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,800
upset somebody or something like
that.
923
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:41,440
Yeah.
So that's the only thing.
924
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:43,400
Oh, right.
So what?
925
00:55:44,240 --> 00:55:46,360
Why is that, do you think?
What?
926
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,400
What is that?
I just wouldn't want to upset
927
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,000
anybody.
You don't want to hurt people's
928
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,480
feelings.
So you're aware of what
929
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,360
someone's feeling and thinking
all the time.
930
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:55,920
Are you trying to manage their
feelings?
931
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:57,520
Is that?
Well, I don't know.
932
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,440
I don't know.
That's probably another story
933
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,920
for another day, I reckon.
Yeah, no, that's interesting.
934
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,880
That's interesting.
That would almost be the thing.
935
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:06,960
Well, that's the thing that you
wouldn't like.
936
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,880
That's your if we say fear, it's
just something that would make
937
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,240
you uncomfortable.
Yeah, it does, yeah.
938
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,240
OK, that's, you know, but it
just speaks your sensitive side,
939
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:18,440
you know, because you consider
yourself a healer.
940
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,280
That's what you do.
That's how you that's what
941
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,160
that's the value that you feel
you're providing to the world.
942
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,920
So this would be the opposite.
Oh, amazing.
943
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:29,480
Yeah, I never thought about it
like that.
944
00:56:31,240 --> 00:56:35,840
Just think and do you think that
you're as an entrepreneur, this
945
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:40,280
business side and personality,
do you think that your success
946
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:45,360
has largely come from, is it
your, your resilience, your
947
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:49,280
ideas or is it something else,
the deeper thing, what is it?
948
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,240
Resilience is a good word.
I ideas are obviously another
949
00:56:53,240 --> 00:56:57,320
word.
Ideas do create things, but I do
950
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,920
think if you've got an idea and
you don't follow it through,
951
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:01,000
you're never going to get
anywhere.
952
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,680
So resilience is probably
important, one of the important
953
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:12,840
factors because going back to my
husband years ago when I was
954
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:19,120
looking for a new, new salon,
we'd go to this place and it was
955
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:20,760
a very good salon.
And he said I think this would
956
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,960
be a good salon for you.
And I looked and I thought this
957
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:29,440
might be a good salon but I
can't run my multi £1,000,000
958
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,400
business empire from here so I
need another one.
959
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:38,840
And I didn't mention it to him.
And so that is resilience.
960
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:43,600
And when things don't turn out
right, think, OK, just try
961
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,080
again.
I think that's resilience.
962
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,880
And I definitely do know that if
I'd never had that, I wouldn't
963
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,200
have had anything.
OK, OK.
964
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,760
But just going back to something
that you said earlier in the
965
00:57:54,760 --> 00:58:01,840
podcast, you, you kind of knew,
didn't you, that you would be
966
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,000
where you are.
You knew you.
967
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,440
Just knew from.
Don't even know how to explain
968
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,040
it, but you just knew.
Yeah.
969
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,080
You had a vision.
Yeah.
970
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:14,200
Gosh, so you were just stepping
into something that you this
971
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,480
little instinct.
What is it?
972
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:17,280
What is that thing?
A little.
973
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:18,120
Belief in.
Yourself.
974
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:21,080
What is it?
I don't know really, but I know.
975
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:28,920
I know the things that I want,
but I also know it too and it's
976
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:34,680
like the factory we've got now.
I was happy with the factory
977
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,200
we've got.
We rented a factory.
978
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,640
It was a little bit old and I
was fine and we've got loads and
979
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:44,040
loads of money in the bank and
we were doing really well.
980
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,120
And my daughter come along, she
says I want, I don't like this
981
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,640
factory, it's old, it's not good
enough.
982
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:51,800
OK.
So I went to look for a new
983
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:58,520
factory and my husband actually
said this is a good place.
984
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:02,520
And it was great.
And I could see it like it's
985
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,120
shone out of the papers.
So it's sort of shown.
986
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,400
So you can feel when things are
right, so you can feel it.
987
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:14,680
It's almost shining out.
So I go, OK, and then I go to
988
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,880
the people and there was
nothing.
989
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,360
It was expensive.
You know, there's nothing in me
990
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,680
that thought I couldn't do it.
So I go, OK, I'll have that
991
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:27,120
factory.
And then I said to my daughter,
992
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,560
I said, look, you wanted the
factory, here's the keys.
993
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:31,800
You do it.
So it was an empty shell.
994
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,440
She had to do it and create it.
And she created it very
995
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,560
beautifully.
And you'll see my factory.
996
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,840
It's, it's really pretty, really
gorgeous.
997
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,800
And she achieved that.
So when I went into the
998
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,920
boardroom, something that I'd
thought about at 28 years old,
999
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:58,640
I'd thought I'll have a factory
or premises or offices and I'll
1000
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,000
be able to do treatments and
they'll call me out from the
1001
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,920
boardroom and there'll be
windows there.
1002
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:07,120
And there, of course, when I
walked into our boardroom, that
1003
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,000
was finished.
She'd created what I'd created
1004
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,040
in my mind.
And so this is where that is,
1005
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:20,240
you know, it's like you've got
to recognize the success of your
1006
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,440
thoughts, not just the success
of you.
1007
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,160
And you showed me that because
we did the pre podcast call and
1008
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,880
you showed me the room.
Yeah, exactly.
1009
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,480
And you do have a very nice
factory, but yeah, that that's,
1010
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,520
it just shows you, there's
something that that we can't
1011
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:38,960
explain, but you do think about
these things and it does create
1012
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:43,280
some sort of connection there
and it helps you or actually
1013
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,400
makes things happen for you.
Exactly.
1014
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:49,120
That's why negativities, that's
why you really just despise the.
1015
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:53,640
Negativity is not in any way
shape or form, but it's like
1016
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:57,160
strange how things can happen
with me.
1017
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:05,360
I mean, I've got when I I, when
I sort of sort of buy any items
1018
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:13,640
myself that and I care about the
items and I don't overbuy things
1019
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,600
because it's something in the
way I am.
1020
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:23,840
So I don't necessarily need too
much money as such as a person.
1021
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:30,320
So I'm not thinking about work
or to buy things or to own money
1022
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:31,880
or have money or things like
that.
1023
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:38,560
But when I create new products,
that's an easy thing to do and
1024
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,000
it's expensive to create a new
product.
1025
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,040
Of.
Course, yeah.
1026
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,440
So when I create a new product,
like I create a new product for
1027
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:50,760
a need in for people.
So one of my needs were we used
1028
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,320
to do exhibitions and people
used to get tired at the
1029
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,880
exhibitions.
They'd walk up to the counter
1030
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,760
and they'd be shattered.
And so I thought if they weren't
1031
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,880
tired, they'd talk better.
And so I made this drink with
1032
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:09,360
collagen and vitamin C to give
them a boost and they kept on
1033
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,880
coming back for the drink.
And so I'd sell to them every
1034
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,520
time and they'd come back for
the drink.
1035
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:18,120
And I thought if I could put
this into a dropper container,
1036
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,480
they'd absolutely love it, give
them a boost.
1037
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:27,760
And I did later on.
So and I did it just for no real
1038
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,040
apparent reason, but I'd plan to
do this.
1039
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,080
And they're little dropper
bottles, which obviously could
1040
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,440
show a picture of that little
dropper bottles.
1041
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:40,200
Put the dropper in and it gives
you a real big boost, but it
1042
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,200
grew people's hair.
It makes their skin look younger
1043
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,920
and gave them like no pains in
their joints and everything.
1044
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:51,360
And it works better than
anything on the market.
1045
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,640
And the reason it works better
than anything on the market, it
1046
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,640
doesn't go through the liver.
So it actually goes straight
1047
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,880
into the system.
So within a couple of days
1048
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:05,000
absorbed straight away and they
don't have to use and and so
1049
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:09,480
it's been the best selling
product of my business.
1050
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:12,160
Better than the bee venom now.
No way.
1051
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,680
Exactly.
So it's incredible and it's
1052
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:21,200
obviously got the royal Crest.
Yeah, because you've basically
1053
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,200
so just for the viewers that
that don't know, you've got the
1054
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:25,840
royal stamp of approval on your
product.
1055
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:30,160
So they are the real deal and
they've done extremely well and
1056
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,080
you've got these natural
ingredients in them and
1057
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:36,560
everything that you've done you
do for to resolve this need.
1058
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:41,000
And and if possible, if there's
a a natural alternative to
1059
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:45,880
wrinkling and dry skin and all
that, you're gonna, you're gonna
1060
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:47,480
look to find that.
Exactly.
1061
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:51,280
In whatever way.
But but I didn't imagine that
1062
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:55,480
the collagen drops would be so
good.
1063
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:59,240
Yeah, I didn't imagine that
they'd be so, so big because
1064
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:03,680
they they were just an
additional thing that could help
1065
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:08,560
make the skin younger.
But what I didn't realise is
1066
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:13,720
people with alopecia, people
that have a thing called a
1067
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:18,480
flusia hair where the hair drops
out because through dieting, you
1068
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,280
know, people that are on the
drugs.
1069
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:23,480
Yeah, Zimpic.
Zimpic and that they're losing
1070
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:29,720
their hair drastically.
People that took had injections
1071
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,920
in COVID or COVID, they lost
their hair.
1072
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:36,520
So there's a big need.
With the regrowth of hair nerve
1073
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:41,000
fat really.
So my hair is my hair.
1074
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,160
This is my hair.
So it's it's thick.
1075
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:47,720
It's not hair extensions.
You just you just have a little
1076
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:51,200
tiny bit every every morning and
it's amazing.
1077
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:57,920
And men with no hair, half hair.
Men, we have a we have a male
1078
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,280
audience as well watching us and
men don't they don't seem to
1079
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:05,480
majority care that much about
their skin or their hair you.
1080
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,360
Know, I just think men care
about their skin, but they don't
1081
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:10,480
know what they don't.
Know what to do?
1082
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:12,760
So what?
What very basic?
1083
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:16,320
What should they do?
Well, a lot of men buy their
1084
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,760
products for their wives or
their girlfriends.
1085
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:22,880
My Heaven skin Care products and
they use them and they look
1086
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,480
younger.
We do have a men's range of
1087
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:31,960
products and but we have men's,
women's range and particularly
1088
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:34,880
men's range because men's skin
and women's skin is different
1089
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,000
and have made a range for.
Men's skin, How is it different?
1090
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,360
Thicker.
It's thicker, so the molecules
1091
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:46,120
actually need to be smaller to
go through the skin tissue,
1092
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,280
because the skin's too.
So they literally need to be
1093
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,960
using a product for men.
It is a good idea.
1094
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:57,280
So I've got the, I've got them.
I've got like the age defiance
1095
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:01,640
works for both men and women.
The bee venom works for both men
1096
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:02,560
and women.
OK.
1097
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:04,600
And then the collagen jobs they
can also, if they've got hair
1098
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:06,440
loss, they can also take.
That yeah, but they drink it.
1099
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,320
They drink it and the hair grows
with.
1100
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,480
No, it's a shot.
Yes, you can put it in coffee.
1101
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,600
In fact, a coffee company has
asked me to do it.
1102
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:20,160
But when you put it in coffee,
the coffee gives you a boost and
1103
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:21,800
the collagen gives you a boost
to.
1104
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,760
Do that.
You should do that.
1105
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,160
I would have that because you
know, everyone's most people
1106
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,280
have a routine with this coffee
thing.
1107
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:30,440
You have your coffee in the
morning.
1108
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,560
It's just it there already.
You don't have to change you.
1109
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:37,760
Can't have milk.
If you put milk in with the
1110
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,360
drops, then that takes longer.
It takes three months.
1111
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:47,120
These sachets that are viscous
and chewy or whatever, or
1112
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:51,600
powder, they, they, they work
with time.
1113
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:56,400
They work three to six months.
I don't like things that take
1114
01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:00,120
three to six months to work
because I can't really quantify
1115
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:01,880
that.
I don't even know whether that
1116
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,200
would work.
If I'm buying something, I've
1117
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,120
got to wait six months for
something to work.
1118
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,520
I'm I'm not too impressed to
lose your patience.
1119
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:11,280
I might lose my patience.
I might stop it.
1120
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:14,600
I might have spent all my money
and then get 6 months and then
1121
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,720
it would not work.
So I like things that work in a
1122
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:21,480
couple of days.
Slight change of course, women
1123
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:23,320
in business.
Do you think women in business
1124
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,120
are treated a bit differently?
Do you have what are your views
1125
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:27,640
on that?
I know it's a big topic for many
1126
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:29,800
and we do have also female
viewers.
1127
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:33,360
They tend to be younger.
I would say are female viewers,
1128
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,800
but what do you do you feel that
there's a difference men and
1129
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:40,360
women in business how you're.
Right now I've achieved.
1130
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,440
Yes.
So I am an achiever.
1131
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:47,960
So once you've achieved or
you've got a grounding, you
1132
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:53,160
don't get men as much saying,
you know, questioning.
1133
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:59,480
But when I hadn't achieved and I
wanted to change my packaging, I
1134
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:03,520
phoned up a company.
It was Roma Glass and they
1135
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:05,200
wouldn't supply me because I was
a woman.
1136
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:10,800
So how did you know that?
My boyfriend at the time, which
1137
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:14,680
became my husband, I said, will
you phone up and ask, ask for an
1138
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,680
account?
And they gave it A and they
1139
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,399
wouldn't give me one.
And I bought such a lot from
1140
01:08:20,399 --> 01:08:24,080
Roma Glass.
Oh, that's in the end.
1141
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:29,840
That's yeah.
So yes, I, I don't know, I would
1142
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:35,520
love to know from your podcast
viewers whether anybody's having
1143
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:39,920
problems now.
I'm hoping the the the men and
1144
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:43,800
women divide is not as bad as it
was in my time.
1145
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:47,200
Yeah, I mean, from my
perspective, I think it is
1146
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:50,040
getting better now, but I
definitely, I mean I originally
1147
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:54,760
started in a in AIT field in
computers and technology.
1148
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:58,600
And when I went into my first
job as a consultant, it was just
1149
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:02,840
the sea of males, you know, like
3 females in the entire office,
1150
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,680
everyone male.
And I worked in this field.
1151
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,600
So it was very dominate, male
dominated.
1152
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,359
But when I actually saw my
friends, my South African
1153
01:09:10,359 --> 01:09:12,000
friends, they were like, well,
what are you doing now?
1154
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:13,080
You know, after school and
whatever.
1155
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:15,279
And I said, Oh well, I'm in ITI
do bidding systems
1156
01:09:15,279 --> 01:09:17,479
implementations.
And then like, what do you mean?
1157
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:19,359
What's that?
You know, you have computers,
1158
01:09:19,359 --> 01:09:22,080
you know, it's digital things.
And so you don't look at all
1159
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,200
like a person that would know
about that.
1160
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:25,760
You don't.
It's just the way, you know,
1161
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:28,760
because probably I don't know
what the expectation is for me
1162
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:30,960
to do what like what would what
would they like me to do?
1163
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:32,960
What would sort of person would
I look like for them?
1164
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,680
But I thought, why is why would
you say that?
1165
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:38,040
Why would it?
There was a little bit of that
1166
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:41,479
and you sort of think, well, how
would you know anything to do
1167
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,840
with that?
But actually, you know, I was, I
1168
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:45,359
was OK at it.
I did it.
1169
01:09:45,359 --> 01:09:47,160
So that must have been all
right.
1170
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,279
But I've had a few things like
that.
1171
01:09:50,279 --> 01:09:52,080
We sort of think you have to
fight harder.
1172
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:56,120
But I do feel like if you have
that sort of victim mentality,
1173
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,080
that's not going to help, you
know, when you think, oh, I'm so
1174
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,160
disadvantaged, poor me.
And you go around and almost
1175
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:03,040
like I was playing that card too
much.
1176
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:04,880
It's not going to do anyone any
favours.
1177
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:05,960
No, I don't.
Want them?
1178
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,960
So I'm not really for that.
I don't really like that crack
1179
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,560
on, you know, Come on.
Well, I mean, that was the one
1180
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,400
occasion, though it was
difficult for.
1181
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:18,480
Me, but I don't have it much.
Now I probably do think
1182
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:23,320
sometimes women, but when I was
younger I was I was a bit more
1183
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:28,400
of a bit of a looker.
Yeah, and I probably did I
1184
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,320
probably did sort of go come on
left.
1185
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:36,240
Yeah, You know, so I there is
two ways of looking at us.
1186
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:41,520
I'd say 100% you know, couldn't
just you know, so there there
1187
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:47,520
probably was there is force and
against isn't that. 100%, 100%.
1188
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:51,400
I mean, even, you know, like, I
mean, I don't know, but
1189
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,040
everyone's got their own types.
But for sure it will help if
1190
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,640
you're, you know, someone's type
or whatever for them to even to
1191
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,040
follow on the podcast and
whatever.
1192
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,720
There's, there's things like
that too, which you're not going
1193
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:02,720
to say to someone.
All you know, you, you're only
1194
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,680
allowed to follow the podcast if
you believe every word I say and
1195
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:07,880
not, you know, you've got to be
human with us.
1196
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:11,720
And I think it's sometimes we
get a bit too obsessed with
1197
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:14,600
that.
I think, yeah, I think it, you
1198
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:18,960
know, there is, there is things
that happened before and I don't
1199
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:22,160
know whether they would happen
now.
1200
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,640
And when they do, I'll come back
and tell you.
1201
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:28,000
Yes, yeah, we'll have another.
We'll have another session.
1202
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:29,640
So what's next for you?
What?
1203
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,680
What's the next big thing?
Or is it going to come to you,
1204
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:34,680
you know, and you're not sure
or.
1205
01:11:35,480 --> 01:11:42,920
I love, I've got loads and loads
of beautiful product, product
1206
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:44,440
ranges.
I mean, we've spoken about age,
1207
01:11:44,440 --> 01:11:47,920
defiance, spoken about the B
that I'm making the skin younger
1208
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,480
and the collagen drops, they are
the three big ones.
1209
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:59,480
But I've got another one which
is which we've just launched and
1210
01:11:59,480 --> 01:12:02,640
it's about light really.
You know this light's very bad
1211
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:03,880
for our skin.
Yeah, it.
1212
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:07,880
Is yeah, and it breaks down our
collagen, so I've got.
1213
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,080
Aging me.
It ages you, it ages you.
1214
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:15,000
So I've got a product called
prison Protection, and you put
1215
01:12:15,440 --> 01:12:21,240
the moisturizer on the skin and
then it makes that light make
1216
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,400
you younger by releasing
peptides.
1217
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:26,120
So you sit here and just get
younger.
1218
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:29,400
Give it to me.
And if you go in sunlight, it
1219
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:30,520
makes you younger.
Awesome.
1220
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:34,000
It's got a factor 50 and
protects your skin.
1221
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:37,240
But mainly it makes the skin
make you younger.
1222
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:42,240
And that is a new thing because
I love inventing new products.
1223
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:47,000
And on that positive note that
we can age and reverse, thank
1224
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,280
you so much for joining us.
And I'd love, thank you.
1225
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:52,280
Thank you SO.
Very interesting.
1226
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:53,440
Thank you.
Thank you.
