Effortless
'Effortless' is such an emotive word.
I have found this particularly to be the case since calling my company ‘Effortless’.
As Earl Nightingale put it - ‘Opinions are the cheapest commodity on earth’.
I am always open to other views - with humility I always invite, welcome and feel immense gratitude for a wide range of opinions and thoughts. But ultimately my intuition is the only real guide; everything else is simply coming from programmed belief systems.
So what does ‘effortless’ actually mean in my context? Or more specifically, what does it NOT mean?
This is what it doesn’t mean:
It does not mean Effort-zero.
It does not mean Effort-Nil, Effort-None, Effort-Lazy.
It means Effort-LESS.
In my definition it means:
Achieving beyond what you ever thought would be possible, with a lot less effort, a lot less daily time, in a much shorter duration enabling you to spend more of your most valuable commodity (time) to do ‘life’.
After all - we all know that the most expensive thing in the world is this thing that is quite literally priceless.

Yes - time.
Nothing is more expensive than that.
Contrary to popular belief, it’s time that gives you freedom, not money.
Because without the awareness of what ‘effortless’ actually means and how to actually do it, you’re wasting your most valuable commodity - time.
And there’s nothing liberating about that.
Learning how to best manage everything by working favourably with time rather than trying to ‘manage’ time brings freedom.
Freedom from the mental chaos that consumes your time - the worries, doubts, fear, a bad relationship with the clock/diary/calendar, irritation, frustration, a ‘lack’ mentality around money, overwhelm at not earning what you really want, not feeling fulfilled, poor quality personal or professional relationships, ‘settling’ for less than what fills your heart with desire every single day. It goes on.
That’s why my main product is actually ‘Freedom’.
And that’s why my company is called ‘Effortless’.
Amen.

4moI think that once you realize and get your mind around the idea that “Less is More” Effortless comes into focus. That is how it worked for me. I had to have that thought first, then things snapped into frame and focus. “Less is more” usually means less clutter, less noise, more clarity, more productive; at least at first. Then this evolves to the natural idea that your inner child, your gift from the divine is here to help. To share the load through imagination. (Something that can’t be taught) taught only accessed) Recreate yourself to br a safe place for your imagination and lessen your burden and find joy all at the same time. It is effortless because it is a natural state that just works. You have but down your bags and are open to new energies, ideas and creativity. Back to branding, I am thinking that you need to associate effortless with freedom and joy and finding your natural state. The word Euphoria is interesting… But it is a little new age. Inspired Abundance. Just a thought… Sorry for the rant. I just woke from a nape. lol.
