It's Fuck Yeah Friday.
Brad Crowell 0:01
Fuck yeah.
Lesley Logan 0:02
Get ready for some wins. 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 0:47
Hello, Be It babe. We're catching you before the holidays, unless you're listening to this later, because you're stocked up and you're binging out. This is a week before, that's like five days before, it's December 20th. And what this is is a it's a Friday, TGIF, Friday, if you're listening in real time, when these things drop, what you're not like, Brad and I like, I know exactly what time my podcast drops.
Brad Crowell 1:08
We do.
Lesley Logan 1:09
I'm like, it's 9:05. There should be something right there.
Brad Crowell 1:11
They're late. What is happening?
Lesley Logan 1:11
Refresh that app.
Brad Crowell 1:12
Come on.
Lesley Logan 1:15
So, at any rate, we're going to share some of the wins that you've sent us, and then we're going to share one of ours.
Brad Crowell 1:21
All great wins.
Lesley Logan 1:21
So our first win is from Katelyn Elser, she's an agency member. She said my home studio remodel is done and I'm thrilled with the results. I had my first duet intro. I have a call with the local country club today about offering a mat class, and a client who ghosted me on her intro pack over the summer texted me and bought a package. I'm getting more comfortable with not converting every single person who walks in the door. Very great wins.
Lesley Logan 1:23
I just want to say sometimes people ghost you because it's not a ghost it's like, oh, I'm gonna do it on this date, and we just don't always know when that date is. And so for anyone who's got their own business or you're trying to start a side hustle, you have to understand that we don't always get to decide or know when people are going to make the decision to work with us. They often make the decision, but don't tell us, and so we just have to be consistent enough in our communications and being ourselves and showing up that when they're ready, you pop up in their reminders, and then they continue on. That's how it works. That's literally how all businesses are successful. Like, we were having dinner last night, not last night when you're listening to this, but last night when we recorded this, and we were talking about, like, because someone said, like, what's different? And I think you and I were both like, we're just consistent. We've been so fucking consistent. That is why maybe we're just talking to ourselves.
Brad Crowell 2:46
Yeah, maybe it's just us.
Lesley Logan 2:48
Okay. We're just, we're just (inaudible) together with no one else that we've been so consistent over the years. That is why we get to sit here and have some of these huge wins that you're going to hear.
Lesley Logan 3:00
So one more win from you. Charlotte Coker, I've been struggling with some health issues for the majority of the year, but I'm ready to refocus for the rest of 2024 and get a solid plan in place for 2025. I have my Q3 coaching call today with Lesley, and really looking forward to getting some help with clarity. I've really nailed down my morning routine to maximize my day, and my husband was traveling for work and made it home safely from Florida before the hurricane hit. Those are.
Brad Crowell 3:28
That's important.
Lesley Logan 3:29
I mean, my, thank God you don't have to travel, the hurricane stuff is, I feel for every person, and I know that we're recording this a couple months after two massive hurricanes hit. Many of our listeners, and many of you who know people.
Brad Crowell 3:45
And members.
Lesley Logan 3:46
Oh, one of our members lost everything. And I just want to say like, you have to celebrate that (inaudible) made it home safely because that, that's a massive win, especially when you're up against something you can't control. I also want to say, like, thank you for sharing that you've nailed your morning routine. Because.
Brad Crowell 4:02
That's cool.
Lesley Logan 4:02
That is, people think, oh, like, the the skincare routine, or the way you get dressed, the way you do your coffee, that has nothing to do with the the wins you're going to have for the rest of your day. But actually it sets you up for the best, most amazing day. So thank you, Charlotte, for sharing this.
Lesley Logan 4:17
Okay, a win of ours.
Brad Crowell 4:20
A win of ours.
Lesley Logan 4:22
You could join me with this one. So I was just actually going to say we've had some amazing wins as a company in the last quarter that haven't always made it to the FYFs, mostly because they're wins that are not just ours. They're like wins, because our team has really done some amazing effort in. So a couple weeks ago, you shared about our tour announcing as a win. But also, like we released a bot.
Brad Crowell 4:51
We did.
Lesley Logan 4:52
We released a bot. What is the bot? The LL bot, it's a clone of me, and my voice that will answer questions for our Profitable Pilates clients. And we talked about, I don't know when you and Emma started talking about this, but you and I talked about this in April.
Brad Crowell 5:10
We've been talking about it for years, Emma and me.
Lesley Logan 5:12
Yeah, yeah. And finally, technology and.
Brad Crowell 5:15
Emma and I.
Lesley Logan 5:15
Yeah, yeah. Technology and need and desire and my willingness all kind of came together, and we were able to actually create a really good bot that you can be an Agency-on-demand member to explore, and that, it's been out for a couple of months now, but I (inaudible).
Brad Crowell 5:36
It's a coaching bot for business. So like, what we did is we took six or seven years of webinars and courses and blog posts and newsletters and advice and all the things, and we combined it into a tool that allows us to basically have an automated bot that crawls all that information and comes back with responses. And you can have a conversation with it. You can literally call it. It's kind of insane. It sounds like you because we fed it videos of you, so it actually knows what you sound like. It's amazing. And with technology shifting, changing, growing, we're able to tap into that. And the coolest part about it is it's instant responses.
Lesley Logan 5:36
Yeah, you're not waiting for me to, for example, after when I'm recording these, then I can go into Agency slack for the first time since Thursday.
Brad Crowell 6:28
Right.
Lesley Logan 6:29
And so people have been waiting since Thursday if they didn't use the bot, and then our Agency-on-demand members don't even have access to that, so they'd have to wait a month, but instead, they can actually just call it or type in, and it really does a great job. And I'm just really proud of our team for collecting the data so that when this opportunity came together, we could take advantage of it and also for us rolling it out so that it really is helping more people. Our goal for Profitable Pilates is to help as many teachers and studio owners as possible. And there's only, there was only one of me and now, there are two.
Brad Crowell 7:01
That is a win. That's amazing.
Lesley Logan 7:04
So the other thing I just want to reflect on, like as a team, that we've been able to really do is we've released a new OPC website that was a year in the making. Brad, how many people were involved in that?
Brad Crowell 7:16
Oh, I don't know, 10, maybe 12. Yeah.
Lesley Logan 7:20
And shout out to Amy Lavelli who's not on our team, but on our team, who really helped us go, no, guys, let's change that. Oh, do this. So, you know, y'all don't have to do everything on your own, is the point. And it all doesn't have to happen as soon as you have the idea. Some of our best, most brightest wins are years in the making and require a lot of people. So those are, do we have any other big project wins that happened this year that maybe I haven't shared? We already did the tour, OPC, we already did the flash cards.
Brad Crowell 7:56
We actually split the Cambodia retreats off into its own brand.
Lesley Logan 8:00
Yes, oh yeah.
Brad Crowell 8:02
It used to be under the Lesley Logan brand, and now its own brand, called crowsnestretreats. You've heard us say that on the pod.
Brad Crowell 8:13
Yeah, we've been wanting to do that for a while, but it just was complicated, and now we had the capacity to do that. And so.
Lesley Logan 8:11
We've been wanting to do that for years.
Lesley Logan 8:16
Because here's a, here's a little peek behind the curtain, we want to have multiple crowsnests, not just Cambodia.
Brad Crowell 8:26
Yeah. Someday.
Lesley Logan 8:27
And a lot of people are like, you should do this, and you should do this. I'm like, no, we will have multiple locations once our crowsnest Cambodia has people renting it for their own retreats, then we can have a Cambodia retreat, but then we could have a retreat somewhere else, but we gotta, you know, this is where, like, if you look at people who are doing all these things, oh they're doing all these things, first of all, they're not doing it alone. Second of all, if they're successful, they did one thing for a really long time, and that allowed them to have the foundation to break off to do all those things.
Brad Crowell 9:00
Yep.
Lesley Logan 9:01
Yep. Well, that's enough wins. We gotta let these people go.
Brad Crowell 9:05
Yeah, let's get to our mantra.
Lesley Logan 9:06
Thank you. Here we go. I'm scrolling down. I'm scrolling down. Okay. I hold community for others and I'm held in community by others.
Brad Crowell 9:15
I hold community for others and I'm held in community by others.
Lesley Logan 9:16
Yes, I hold community for others and am held in community by others. Boom.
Brad Crowell 9:25
Oh yeah.
Lesley Logan 9:26
I love it.
Brad Crowell 9:27
That's how we do.
Lesley Logan 9:28
You guys, go celebrate your wins. We want to hear them. Send them in to us, share them with a friend. You want to know what? This is the holiday season and people are always like, how you doing, how's this going? How you doing? And we go, I'm fine. I'm good. You can actually go, you know what I just won at today? Let me just tell you. And what if we actually changed the I'm good to like, here's how I slide today. If people go, oh my God, that person over there is a bit of a bragger, you can go, yeah, I am because I worked my ass off to get this win. I worked really hard. Or someone didn't show up for their plane flight, like last week, and still, you worked very hard. All right, loves, until next time, Be It Till You See It.
