Lesley Logan
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 guests 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.

Hey, Be It babe, Happy Fuck Yeah Friday. We’ve got some wins of yours to share. We’ve got a win of mine. We are coming closer and closer with every single one of these Fridays at the end of the year. And so, my goodness, I hope you are taking some time to celebrate some wins by now. Because, if not now, when? And why wait till the end of the year to like, oh, I’m gonna make all these changes next year. Celebrate wins now, and these little wins can help you start to make changes this year. So let’s get to yours first. Actually, that is the order. I almost went out of order. So let’s get to yours first.

We have a couple from Djamila, so she will be our wins for today from you guys. Djamila is an agency member, and has lived all over this world, all, all over this world, and now is in Switzerland, I believe. Here we go. Her wins, surviving a painful double ear infection with flu. Oh, my God. Published my second meta ad, and it’s helped me understand the unique selling points of my product and generate a new trial session in two days, create a new promotional flyer and got it printed, training my coaches on what’s important and non negotiable to me when working with the clients, it’s working because the feedback from clients who have tested other studios has also been super positive, and this has boosted my confidence, because I am seeing the value of my experience. They are seeing the value of my experience. Had a coaching call with Kirsten, who really helps making social media accessible. Almost done reading Dr. Gabrielle Lyon’s book Forever Strong. She is protein-obsessed, and I know that you’d eat more of it. What I like is how she flips a narrative from people are over fat to people are under muscled being thinking of other areas of my life and biz where a similar flip could help me. Code of the week that I got from a friend on LinkedIn, why seek a job that you are fully qualified for and can do? There’ll be no room to grow and learn in. Ah, these wins are from earlier this year, and there’s so many in there, and I do love the narrative change of people are under-muscled. I love that you are reading that Djamila and calling it a win in your life, because I think this is a really cool thing for us all to explore. I just, I really do.

So your next set of wins came later this summer. Two little wins for me. Last week, I convinced a client who has back issues that instead of canceling his hit strength training membership with my studio, he should come try Pilates as it might suit his needs better, and if he liked it, we could discuss transferring his membership to Pilates classes. He accepted instead of haggling to get out of his contract, I’m totally being it till I see it, because I know I’m not even teaching Pilates at my studio yet. I just, she’s a Pilates, side note, you guys, she’s a Pilates instructor for many, many years, so just doesn’t have it in her studio yet. Okay, back to her. I just sent out my first studio newsletter using MailChimp. Yay. Looks so much more professional than a regular Gmail. Met with a lawyer friend who has agreed to help sort me out with some legal docs I need in Switzerland. Sometimes daring to ask for help really pays off. Djamila, I think like asking for help somehow always, does pay off. And I just want to say thank you. Your wins, when you post them, they’re so reflective. And I even learned something about how I, other things I can see as a win. And so I’m so excited to share your wins with our, with everyone listening to the Be It Pod today, because you know, you can survive a double ear infection with the flu, and that’s a win. You can, you can, you can get that on the other side. So just absolutely thank you for being you, and thank you for being vulnerable, and thank you for sharing all of these wins. You guys, if you sent out a MailChimp for the first time, it’s a win, right? It’s really a win. Instead, we focus on how long it took and why I’ve been pushing up for so long, and what, like, someone unsubscribed instead of going, I actually did something really hard today. That’s a win. That’s an FYF.

All right, so today, as you’re listening to this, is the day before I am going to do my photoshoot for the Accessories Deck. And in my last, really, like, since 2007 I had a lot of stomach issues, and so a lot of the shoots that I’ve done, I’ve done in like stomach pain or just not having eaten that day because I don’t want to start the stomach pain off while I’m on the photoshoot, which does affect my ability to do the actual exercise and have the energy and stamina to do it. But because I’m working with FemGevity, because I’ve been advocating my health. My stomach has been doing so, so much better. And so my body is ready for this photo shoot. And I, in caution say that because, out of context, I don’t want everyone to think I’m talking about body appearance. That’s not what I’m talking about at all. But like the strength of my body. I’ve been able to actually absorb the nutrition that I’ve been putting in my body, and all because I advocated myself earlier this year, and not that I ever stopped. I finally found someone who was listening, and in that collaboration together, I’ve gotten so much out of it, and so I share this with you, because if you have projects that you’re just procrastinating on, if it is because of your health, because your hormones are not where you want them to be, or maybe you’re feeling a little bit down, or maybe you’re not feeling as strong as you used to, or as energized as you used to. Getting help for yourself is a win, and then you’ll get to do those things you desire to do, because I would really, really hate to be sitting here and procrastinating on my deck because my stomach was bothering me and my body wasn’t strong enough. This deck required more strength than any of the decks because there’s so many little tools that I had to practice and so many little accessories, and I needed to practice all of them. And they’re accessories for a reason. You don’t practice all of them all the time, and I had to do that, plus the guillotine, which I don’t always have access to. And so my win is I ready in my body for this, and it is ready for this, and I am ready for this shoot to bring you the most amazing deck possible. And it’s because several months ago, I said yes to getting help. And so that’s my win. So if you are needing that, please check out our FemGevity team because they are fabulous and wonderful and changed my life and truly have saved it and give me the strength that I need to do all the things I want to do. So there’s this deck, but there’s more to come, right? There’s winter tour and things like that.
