Lesley Logan celebrates a win she almost talked herself out of, choosing to hire real help rather than wait years for something she could pursue now. As Balanced Body marks fifty years, she shares why coaching others taught her to ask for coaching too. She also vents about the looming time change, lifts up wins from the summer tour, and offers a reminder that investing in yourself is not impulsive when it's strategic. This episode invites you to stop waiting for the perfect moment.

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 0:38  

Be It babe, how are you? I am so excited for today. Today we are celebrating oh my god 50 years of Balanced Body as our sponsor for our big tours, and last week we announced where we're going in our winter tour. So hopefully you've gone and checked that out, but we are actually spending the celebrating this day with Balanced Body and their crew at POT Sacramento. So I'm up in Sacramento. If you are one of our members or listeners, and you are there as well, please come by in the booth and say hi.


Lesley Logan 1:13  

Happy Fuck Yeah Friday! I'm so happy you're here. You know these short episodes. I hope are meaningful for you. I love to share your wins. I love for you to hear what's going on in real time in my life and what's on my heart and what's a win I'm having because I think it's really easy for us to put people on pedestals and think the grass is greener where they are, and everyone's just doing their thing, trying the hardest they can. And you know, you are amazing. So thanks for being here.


Lesley Logan 1:38  

So okay, I am aware that we are weeks away from a time change, possibly, but maybe not, because you know I heard that they're not doing the time change, but then they picked the one I don't want, and I feel like everybody in the world agrees that we should stop changing the clocks, but I don't want it to be light in the morning. I know you think that's crazy because I love to walk in the morning. I actually love to wake up when it's dark, and when we start my walk and watch the sunrise, and I want it to be lighter later. So statistically, I guess it's probably better if we all wake up early with the sun. But I also just, don't you want to get off work and there's still some sunlight to enjoy the outdoors. Isn't that what you want with friends and family? Just I don't know, have some summer water and just sit outside. So I'm a little frustrated that we're coming close to what could be a time change, and then it's darker earlier for so long, and I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Hate it. So that's my event. Now for my win because you don't need to hear me bitch without hearing a good thing that's going on. I hired help for my YouTube channel, and we're hitting our first eight weeks together, and I'm really excited to see what that does. But my YouTube channel has been a long time running, and I was kind of figuring out what should it be doing. I want it to grow. I want it to be 100,000 subscribers because I want the impact of that. I want to help that many people who love Pilates. And I just kind of got stuck where we were, and I felt like we weren't we were growing, but we weren't growing that fast. I don't want to wait 15 years to hit the goal. I want to hit it. And I met this person, and I raised my hand and asked a vulnerable question, and they followed up. Oh my god, fancy that! And they're actually not an asshole who's stealing from me or promising the world and not giving me anything. Like they're great, wonderful at what they do. And so the last 8 weeks we've been working together, this celebrates that. And I just am excited for you to see what we put out because of these meetings. And I'm really congratulating myself for hiring some help.


Lesley Logan 3:23  

Y'all, we coach people all the time, and it would be silly for me to say I have all the answers. We coach people all the time on their business because we have been where you're going, and we can help you get where you want to go. And so, my loves, sometimes you got to hire people to help you get where you want to go. And so I did that, and I'm just celebrating that I didn't go. Oh, it's not the right time. So much going on in the world. Nope. Put my money where my mouth was. I want to hit this goal. He's the right person. I'm doing it. Interview, deal of things. Very proud of myself. Wasn't impulsive. Was very strategic and thoughtful. And I just want to share that with you because if you do that in your life, you too have a win to celebrate.


Lesley Logan 3:58  

All right, now for a win of yours. This is from @cnoteandmaxxi, "Coming to summer tour class in 45min." So obviously this is from August. But you did come to our summer tour, and you came to two classes. It was so fun to see you. I love that you did that. @purapilates_yasmin, "Two new clients this week, loving the method." Ah, I love when our Pilates clients fall in love with the method the way we do. It's just so fun when they get hooked on it like we do. So thank you both so much for sending in your wonderful, wonderful wins so we can see that you can just celebrate a win. I set up for a class and I made it. I'm going. Or that someone else sees the world the way you see it because of you. Those are wins.


Lesley Logan 4:40  

All right, let me get you a mantra, my loves, and get you onto your weekend. And like I said, if you are in Sacramento at POT, come by say hi. I choose to see the beauty within me. I choose to see the beauty within me. I choose to see the beauty within me. My love, you choose to see the beauty within you. Now go Be It Till You See It.
