It's Fuck Yeah Friday.
Brad Crowell 0:01
Fuck yeah.
Lesley Logan 0:02
Get ready for some wins. Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.
Lesley Logan 0:46
Hello, Be It babe. Happy FYF. That means it is Fuck Yeah Friday.
It is the time of the week where you're supposed to celebrate things. If you haven't started practicing celebrating that all the time. I am actually joined with my co-host, Brad.
Brad Crowell 0:57
What? How about that?
Lesley Logan 0:59
And you know what? One of the wins I have for this year, is I learned how to say your last name.
Brad Crowell 1:02
Hey, what? That's a good win.
Lesley Logan 1:04
Didn't even know I was saying it wrong.
Brad Crowell 1:06
Only 10 years later.
Lesley Logan 1:07
Nine. Oh I guess we knew each other, 11.
Brad Crowell 1:10
Yeah.
Lesley Logan 1:11
At any rate, you guys, if this is your first time joining us, what we actually do is we celebrate some wins of yours that you send in and a win of one of ours, and then we end with a mantra, and oh, I got some new cards. I guess I'll get those for the next one, not for this one. But don't worry, you've got a mantra at the end of this. Do not stress. We're just taking you behind the scenes on how this goes down.
Lesley Logan 1:32
So let's get started with a win of yours. This is from Kristin Salmans. She is a eLevate grad and Agency member, and she wrote. After our eLevate call, Friday, I saw my hypermobile prospect client, put her on the spine corrector, like we discussed, and then took her to the reformer. After a few things there, I decided to put her on the box and use the weights to work on her arm, back connection. It was amazing. When we finished, she said that was hard, and I've done a lot of hard things. That was so hard we found connected. She was so much more open through her neck and her shoulders. She's got homework. Thank you. It's working.
Brad Crowell 2:07
Love that.
Lesley Logan 2:07
I love it too. You know, one of the things that we do with eLevate grads is we have alumni calls that they can join and they can ask questions about their practice or about a client they're working with, and they get feedback and hypermobile, crossfit client isn't normal.
Brad Crowell 2:21
It is not normal. That's true.
Lesley Logan 2:22
And so it was just really, really fun. So Kristin, thank you for sharing that with us. All this is to say is like a lot of times you don't have to be a Pilates instructor to have this win. Sometimes we think something should be easier because we're really good at something else. And honestly, what we really have to do is actually go about things a different way, to recognize, oh, I'm not doing it like that. Like Brad's super hypermobile and he has yoga, but when he actually focuses on some of his foundations, he finds that it's really hard and really difficult to do.
Lesley Logan 2:51
Okay, I have another win I want to share. This one's from Rachel Hines. She actually went on a Cambodia retreat with us over a year ago. She's an agency member, and she wrote, I was extremely sick this week, kept testing negative for COVID and other various things, ended up in an urgent care and basically they said it's just some kind of virus. Anyway, that's not the win part. I have been out of the studio for five whole days, and because of my team, the studio was completely covered. I have an awesome studio manager and great instructors that everything just kept moving. My studio manager took her first official meeting without me. It took time to get to this point, and I've been very particular with hiring and everyone reflects our brand and our mission.
Brad Crowell 3:27
That's amazing. Congratulations.
Lesley Logan 3:29
Congratulations.
Brad Crowell 3:30
That's like the ideal.
Lesley Logan 3:31
I know, I know, when we met Rachel, you know what a difference a year makes, is what I really actually want to say. And this being the FYFs of December, you kind of want something to happen yesterday, but actually this win is because she has been so consistent with her mission and her values and making sure that the team that she has and that she keeps and that she nurtures is aligned with those. This is why you want to do that. So when you're sick, you're not like 'and these fucking people don't know how to answer an email and respond and handle the studio while I was sick for five days.' So this is why you do it.
Brad Crowell 4:03
That's amazing. Well, congratulations. That's really exciting.
Lesley Logan 4:03
Yeah, Brad, do you want to take this week's win? Or I could do it.
Brad Crowell 4:08
I do want to take this week's win. Well, I'm gonna piggyback off of Rachel. We had a similar experience that made me feel so calm and excited about the team that we built when Lesley and I were out of town hosting our Cambodia retreat. We also launched the tour, the winter tour, and it was incredible because it was not possible for us to participate in it, other than maybe making a post on social but we literally didn't even have to do that. We've gone through this a handful of times. They've created a system, and they were able to replicate the system and successfully, because we sold out three locations on the very first day of the launch, and I'm pretty sure we were asleep in, you know, on the other side of the world, so.
Lesley Logan 4:59
Yeah, all I did was accept, you did it. I was like, I had to go to sleep. You're gonna be up for an hour. If this comes through, you need to accept the Instagram post. And that was all we had to do while we're halfway across the world. It was freaking awesome.
Brad Crowell 5:13
So I couldn't agree more, Rachel, it is a absolutely joy-filled moment when you're like, oh, wow. It's possible for me to step away and the wheels stay on the bus, not only that, but taking a client meeting without you, that's progressing the business forward. So that's incredible.
Lesley Logan 5:30
Yeah, yeah. I think it's hard to see some of these wins until you're sick, or until there's an obstacle or like this thing. We don't often give ourselves time to test things, and so it's like, you just gotta know that you're ready. You know, I was just watching a workshop, and she said, the reason why we do Pilates is so that if you're in the ocean and a shark comes up, your body knows how to twist and turn and swim faster and use your legs and use your arm and get up, and you can beat the shark because, but you wouldn't ever test that on, like, willingly.
Brad Crowell 6:02
No, that's quite a scenario. You're making me go.
Lesley Logan 6:06
I know. Did you get stressed out? Okay, let's do it with the mantra. Okay. When I focus on my reason for being, I am infinitely brave. When I focus on my reason for being, I am infinitely brave.
Brad Crowell 6:20
There you go. Yeah.
Lesley Logan 6:21
When I focus on my reason for being, I am infinitely brave. Yeah, you are.
Brad Crowell 6:26
When I focus on my reason for being, I am infinitely brave.
Lesley Logan 6:29
Yeah, I feel like we're trying out for auditioning for a (inaudible).
Brad Crowell 6:33
When I focus.
Lesley Logan 6:36
On my reason for being, I'm infinitely brave. All right, loves, you know what to do until next time, Be It Till You See It.
Lesley Logan 6:46
Bye for now.
