Yep, you better believe that it is true and I'm here to show you today how you can do this.   but I really hate this terminology of work-life balance. So if you're new to the Dental A Team, welcome, hello. I'm so excited to have you here. If you've been here with us for a long time, high five, hugs. I'm so grateful you've been a part of this journey and I'm so excited to share with you tips, tricks. ⁓ And again, remember, sometimes the greatest form of learning is remembering what you already know. So these might be tips that you've heard before, but hopefully today it hits you differently because no man who's walked through a river is ever the same man because he...   is not the same man and the river is not the same river. So you today, you're not the same person, you're not the same practice, you're not the same scenario. So wherever you are, I'm super excited for you to figure out how to get this like balance and bliss in your life. And I hope you're ready for it. So the reality is like, I used to feel, and I don't know where this came from, like, why do we feel that we always have to like grind like our nose to the brim? Like we have to work so hard and we have to just grind so hard to get to success.   that like you just hate your life. Like why is it, why is it this like busyness and this exhaustiveness and this tired to be successful? Like why, where? And so I do believe that you can have balance and performance that can coexist, that you can be productive and balanced. And so the reality is we're going to walk through some of these pieces for you to help you see where could I maybe strike a little more balance, a little more freedom, a little more play, a little more ease in my life.   And that's maybe the better term of like work-life balance is more ease. It's more flow. It's more, I think just intentional. And how can I do that? So you guys, I love this. think that you should be something that I'm really passionate about is work and life. I'm very passionate about you being the best version of yourself in your life. That way you can show up as the best version of yourself for work. do not believe, Tiff and I talk about this all the time. Like outside of Dental A Team public's eye.   all the time about how work and life are not separate. It's like we think about these two halves and it's like, no, it's one. You're one person. You're going through this and it's like, well, here's half of me that's work. Here's half of me that's life. And it's like, no, no, no, no, no. How can I, Kiera, be the best version of myself that like feels balanced or ease or flow or calm or any of those things? Cause balance to me, don't love. Balance feels like I've got to like have my weight in front of me be equal.   ⁓ But flow to me is like a river flows and sometimes it's faster and sometimes it's slower and all of that's correct. And so this is something where for you to be the best version of yourself, for you to still be productive at the office while being the best version of you, ⁓ I think is what today's podcast will be about. So this is something where it's like, if you feel you are stretched thin or overwhelmed or you don't know how to produce without overworking and if you stop or slow down and get off the hamster, well, you're afraid that it's all gonna crash and burn. Well, hi, I'm Kiera.   I'm your personal therapist today ⁓ and I'm here to help you realize that that's not the reality, that there's a better, easier way to do it. And I'm here to give you a couple of quick steps that hopefully will take you through that ⁓ because I was there, I've seen offices do it and we've helped offices, hundreds, like literally hundreds and thousands of offices get out of that hamster will.   and into the flow that they were looking for. Tiff said it once and she was like, imagine Phoenix traffic. If you've never been to Phoenix, we'll do Chicago traffic, we'll do Texas traffic. Like you name it, big city traffic. She's like, just imagine if you're sitting there and this is like your life and you're sitting there and you're in this bumper to bumper traffic. And then all of a sudden you see that like better than even like an HOV or carpool lane. Like there's just like the way it strikes me like a lucky charm. Like it's like, ah, like the angels are singing. It's this gold path over there or like the yellow brick road. And you're like,   say, well, like I could get out of this nonsense over onto that lane. And like everybody, there's no traffic. There's no slowing down. It is just this easy breezy, like truly like, hope you guys can visualize this like golden path road with gold light over it. And everybody on that road is just so happy. And yet you're sitting here hating your life because you're sitting in all this nonsense traffic. Well, that's kind of hopefully how this feels of like, let's teach you how to get over into that.   that lane that you didn't even know existed today and give you some tangible tips to that. So number one is going to be maximize the hours that you already work. So let's have it like, ⁓ we did this awesome thing ⁓ at a conference and ⁓ we're talking about this and this is so fascinating to me, okay? So in a given week, there's 24 hours in a day. Yes, everybody following? And there's seven hours or seven days in a week, okay?   So if we take that, I love some good numbers, I love some good math. So 24 hours in a day, and we have seven days in a week, that's 168 hours, all right, in a given week, okay? So now, let's say I'm gonna be really generous to you. We know, let's say, let's just, mean, Dennis, let's give you, like, we're gonna work 40 hours in a week. You might say I work more than that, that's okay. I'm just gonna subtract 40 right now, okay? So that leaves us with 128 hours in a week.   Now you're like, well, Kiera, we also have to sleep. I got you. I'm going to be real generous and I'm going to give you eight hours of sleep times seven days. That's 56 hours. None of you are out there probably sleeping eight hours. As you should be prioritizing this, I do not want to be scrimping on sleep because I think sleep is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. So we have 128 hours after the 40 hour work week. We've got 56 hours of sleep minus 128. That leaves us with 72 freaking hours a week. And my question is, what are you doing with those hours?   Now you might say, Carrie works 60 hours. Fantastic, you still have 52 hours if you're working a 60 hour work week, which I hope and pray you're not working 60 hours. So let's get it to where maybe I don't wanna be working even 40 hours and I would prefer to even work 30 hours. Well then if I gave you 30 hours, you're up to 82 hours a week of extra time. And people are like, Carrie, I don't have time, I don't have time. 72 hours, 72 in a week outside of sleeping and work.   Now you're like, well, I've got to make dinner and I've got the kids fine go for it, but there's still so many hours. And I, when I heard this, I was like, yeah, what am I doing with those 72 hours? Like, all right. So maybe I could do like an hour of workout every day. All right. So like, let me just put out like seven hours there. Like, okay, 72. Let's just take this down 72 minus seven hours. All right. I'm down to 65 hours. Well, you know, I've got to like, hang out with my kids. Like we're at soccer, we're at camp. Like that takes, okay. Count it up. How many hours? Like drive time and all of that.   Let's give you like, okay, shoot, you're at 15 hours a week, which honestly, I guarantee you're not putting 15 hours of soccer and camp and all that in a given week. Maybe you are, but honestly, that's a lot. That's like two full days of work plus some extra time. So if we're at that, you're still at 50 hours and we're not scrimping sleep. We're not scrimping work. We're not scrimping kid time. We gave you an hour of workout every single day.   something to think about. So in this step one, to be able to have this balance or flow or best version of you is to maximize the hours you already have. So ⁓ me and Chad GPT, I named her Wanda. I hang out with Wanda all the time and I'm like, all right, you're the most brilliant scheduler of all time. You're the most productive business coach. Like you teach me how to maximize my time. And Wanda gives me some really good things. And it was interesting because I started looking like I realized   that I was spending an extra 30 minutes going to the gym every single day with how far away it was. And I was like, all right, well then that actually adds up. What if I just bought a home gym? Like there are solutions. What if I got weights, free weights? have my personal trainer. She could create some. So I go to the gym X amount of days and I work from home X amount of days. Could that help out? Like that would give me some time back in there. And so it's really like, how can you maximize the hours that you already have in your life to then maybe have a bit more fun?   Like I don't want all scheduled. I want fun. I want to hang out with Jason. I want to be able to like you guys I used to not watch TV at all because I felt like it was an absolute waste of time because I wasn't making money and I wasn't doing something productive. Literally I was like, nope, this is an absolute waste of time. And I'm like, but I like to watch a show and laugh with my husband. I like to be able to go hot tibbing at night with my husband. I love to go for walks with my husband. I love to go hiking. I love to spend time with my parents and I want to do it.   without guilt. It's like being able to like eat all the ice cream that you could ever want to eat without gaining any weight or whatever your favorite thing is that you're like, I just wish I could eat all that, not worry about the calories. Well, this is how you can have un like guilt free time for yourself, guilt free time with family, guilt free time with friends, because we have like, you break it down. I guarantee you, we're still going to find hours for you. So how can we better use it? And then what's awesome is when I work with offices, I'm like, sweet.   You only working four days a week? Fantastic, let's go for it. Let me do 32 hours a week. Beautiful. And you know what's crazy is I usually can help them produce the same as they were producing in five days and four days and then they're able to get a whole day back in their world. Or they're like, I have nowhere I could ever put admin time in. And I'm like, sweet, challenge accepted. How much time do you want? Two hours a week, three hours a week? Great, I'm gonna block it on Wednesdays from eight to 12.   I'm taking four hours out and I'm gonna show you how we can build a schedule that will produce more than you're making right now and give you the four hours of admin time so you don't have to take this home with you. So we block schedule, we prioritize, we put things in place. You literally like, we eliminate gaps, we're proactive, we ⁓ maximize our time and our schedule, we have our morning huddles to align our teams, everybody chart preps, we look through what we need to have. We're all doing the pieces and we're maximizing our time that we already have. Front office team members, seriously like.   Don't insurance verify every single person like in order call Delta Dental and get all of them done and then all your MetLife's and all your Etna's so we're not spending time like wastefully and you can maximize this and I will tell you when doctors shift like this and teams shift like this, we're talking 10, 20, 30, 40, a hundred grand extra a month that we're able to squeeze in the juice with no extra time. Usually even less time. I don't want more hours. I don't want more work for teams. I want less work and more efficiency.   So that way you have guilt free time with family. You have guilt free time on vacations. You have fun being able to take off and not stress about it. So this is where it's like, let's maximize the hour. So the call to action on this is, I want you to audit your current schedule at work and figure out where are we losing production and time and how can we just like, literally I'm talking on one change. Kind of like with FedEx or with, I don't remember what airline it was, but FedEx drivers found out if they took right hand turns at stoplights in the US, they can actually cut down the hours and cut down the routes and actually get more time and.   more efficient packages delivered to all the people. That's the type of like small little shift that we're looking for. Just one little change and then look at it in your personal life. Are we scrolling in doomsday scrolling? Are we spending time? I don't know, audit your day, but it's wild when I'm like, I gave you so much time and there's still 50 hours in a day, like a week. What are you doing there? Like, Kiera, I go to church. Great, put it in there. Kiera, I do community service. Great, put it in there.   I'm not kidding. When you look at it, it's because we're not efficient with our time and we don't schedule our time. And I want you to have breaks in there where there's nothing time in there too. But what's wild is when you do this, you'll realize there's so much more time. And if you're effective and efficient with this, you'll see that you actually can get more done with less time, less energy, and be more happy and have that flow, that work-life balance just by maximizing the hours you already have. Next up, number two is protect your time like a CEO. I want you to be so rock solid on this because we have to have like CEO time.   So this is what I was talking about. You've got to protect your admin working CEO time like a boss. And you've got to actually do high productive work there. So for me, it's called Deep Work Time. It's by Cal Newport. You can read the book. I'm like absolutely non-negotiable. This is when I'm working on the business. And it's wild because I'm always like, there's so many screaming problems that come at you, but you have to say no. Discipline equals freedom here. You've got to stick to your cutoff time. I'm out the door at 5.30. Go, leave, be done.   We don't need to constantly run over because what we do is we teach ourselves that what we say of our boundaries or what we say of our commitments don't matter. Stop lying to yourself and start protecting your time. Start putting you first. Like if you say, I'm gonna be out at 530, be out at 530. If you say, I'm gonna go to dinner, go to dinner. If you say, I'm gonna work out, work out, but don't go lofty, go small. Start small, train yourself that you can trust yourself and then get bigger and better and better. And what's wild is when offices do this, when doctors like,   Truly, my most elite doctors do this. The ones that produce the most have the best family time. And I'm talking like, there's a doctor that I know. He told me, said, Kiera, we've done a lot. They own six practices. He's got like crazy amounts of success. They're going for it. ⁓ Tons of kids, amazing relationship with his spouse. And he said, Kiera, my year working with you was the most transformational, inspirational year of my entire life. And I take that as one of the biggest compliments because this person was so efficient and effective.   And yet we were able to find ways to fix their time, maximize their time, buy back their time, protect their time, make sure all the things that they want to do as a human and as a business owner, they were able to get there. This doctor is celebrating their first day out of the chair and being a true CEO. It didn't happen overnight, but these are things of like, you have better clarity, you're better as a business owner, you're better as a spouse, you're better as a mother, father, you have more time to work out for yourself, but it's like...   being very disciplined, this is the secret. People are like, Kiera, what's the secret? This is it. They protect their time and they act like the CEO that they are. And then number three is your team, empower them, help them to be like truly owning their role. So you've got to set up and have it to where there's clear roles and definitions of what each person does. They have their KPI and their number that they own and you train them to lead and come with solutions. I have a three solution rule. If you've got a problem, you've got to create at least three solutions for it, one of which can't cost money.   So that way they're coming with solutions, they're thinking of solutions. They're empowered so things don't come to me. ⁓ There's the book with the one minute manager, I think. ⁓ It's about the monkeys on your back. I think about this all the time. How many times do my team members come to me and put their monkey and their problem on my back? And I'm like, yeah, give it to me. I've got it. I'll just solve the problems because I'm Wonder Woman over here. But you told me you actually want to stress free. You want more work life balance, but you don't want to cut your production. We'll start empowering your team to actually be the team that they're meant to be. And team members rise up.   Rise up, solve the problems. This is for you. Like we have a culture of ownership. Ownership is one of our core values. And honestly, I shout that core value out so hard every single week on our core value shout outs because I want our team to know that that's one of the top things that I look for. Our team members that own their role, own their KPI, find the solutions. Because guess what? Then I'm able to do my job and my job as a CEO. Your job as a CEO. And I also want to be an amazing wife. I want to be an amazing sister. I want to be an amazing family member.   I wanna do all those things. I wanna show the best for myself. I wanna work out. I wanna be this amazingly fit, ripped, super energetic, 95 year old woman in my life with cotton candy, pink hair. Like that's the vision of Kiera in the future. What's your vision of the future and how do you do this? And what's wild about this is when you empower your team members, you give them clarity of what they need to do, team members now can focus on what they need to do and they can be more efficient in their time. Tiff and I talk all the time about how she's the efficiency queen and how like,   I hope she never dies before me. And if she does, it will say efficiency queen on her headstone because literally we're able to do so much more with less time because we have the team using it. So doctors before you even, and office managers before you even think about putting something in your calendar, ask yourself, am I really the best person who needs to do this task? Or can someone else do it just as good, if not better than I can and delegate it out.   I look at my calendar all the time and I'm like, that could go to Tiff, this could go to Britt, this could go to Shelbi, this could go to this person. Like all these people are better, more equipped and have the time to do it. And then they should do the same thing with their schedules as well. So when you have this, I want you all, every single team member to look at our schedules and see, is this something that a team member could own? Is this really who should be doing it? Are our lines clean? Do we have clear job descriptions, clear KPIs? This way it's not all happening for me. So when you look at this, you see the flow of number one, I'm using the time I already have.   Number two, I'm thinking like a CEO and I'm actually maximizing the hours working on the business. And then number three, I have a team that's fully capable. They're not dependent on me. You have, we broke down the math. guys, the math is there. What are you doing with your time? This is how you have guilt free fun. Like I want you to just think like eating like a big giant scoop of your favorite dessert or whatever your favorite thing is. You're, you're, you're indulgent. And I want you to think of that as your time. Like I'm just taking this big old scoop of like   delicious ice cream, no calories, guilt free of your lifetime, of the time that you get to have your life. Your life is all mixed up of so many pieces. You've got work, you've got family, you've got schedules, you've got appointments. This is how you have guilt free time. This is how you're able to have that flow. This is how you're able to have the balance or whatever it is for you. It's not passive, it's built. It's not passive, it's built. And you would honestly do this while growing your business.   while like all the different things that you're doing, you can have this. And this is something I'm obsessed about. We did this at our last mastermind and it was so fun for me to like show them like, what are we doing with our time and how can we better maximize, squeeze the juice out and have more guilt free fun time of whatever we want to do. This is how you have hobbies. This is how you expand as a human. This is how you read books for fun. This is how you get gardening or biking or surfing or whatever it is that you want. This is how you get more time with your family, more time for yourself is by actually doing these three things. So   You honestly became a practice owner for freedom. It's my hunch. You wanted to run the business how you wanted. You want to have things with the team. And so let's make sure that you're not fatigued out, that you're burnt out, but you actually get that freedom that you wanted when you built the practice. Like let's get you there. That's the ultimate goal. Let's help you see where you could like maximize your time. Let's help your team maximize their time because sometimes we don't even know what we could be doing better because we're just, this is all we know. So let's be smarter. Let's reach up.   Let's ask for the help and let's get the freedom and the fun and the joy that we know we're meant to have. So this is where we're at. This is where I want you to just realize like, where am I at? You're at a crossroad. Do you want to continue down the path you're going or do you want to get into that fast lane over there that you're sitting in bumper to bumper traffic and you're like, there actually is that magical, glorious, gold paid route. Like honestly, I hope our marketing team like, please marketing team make this Vividial.   Put it on social media. There is like literally I see like all the lines like we got like ten lines of traffic We're sitting there and then it's like ⁓ like the angels are singing over there Like are you gonna continue to sit in this bumper to bumper bag? Yep I'm gonna just keep doing it my way or are you going to venture over? Navigate through the traffic across ten lanes of traffic to get over to that magical Lane that can be yours the questions yours the forks in the road literally we're in a road like that was a great analogy unintended   The forks in the road, like you are here, you're at a pivotal spot, the door is open, you can choose to do it differently. Let's do it. You deserve it. Reach out, hello, at the W-H-U dot com or stay in bumper to bumper traffic. Both are fine. There's no judgment on either side. I just want to let you know that that magical lane is incredible. Life over there is happy. Life over there is not stressed. Life over there still does with issues, but life over there deals with issues in stride.   Life over there has a team that's able to run the practice whether you're there or not. Life over there empowers their leaders. Life over there allows you to have a life on your terms. Life over there allows you to show up for your family the way you want. Life over there allows you to work out the way you want. Life over there has you sleeping better. Life over there has you not stress out every single day of every single hour. Life over there truly is flying through traffic because there's another lane over there. And I hope you choose you and I hope you choose the easier path.   and reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com if we can help you, because I'd love to. And this is literally what we do is help you get into the fast lane, get into the easier path. It's not overnight. It's not a diet pill, but it is sustainable. It is long-term.

Ted Lowe, Family First founder Mark Merrill, and Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Dungy tackle that topic on today's episode. Tony spent years on NFL sidelines and long hours in his office drawing up game plans, but Fridays were always dedicated to family. He shares stories on the podcast about spending designated time with his children – even during the Super Bowl! Mark raised five kids and made a point to schedule intentional time to spend with them. He tells stories about doing whatever they wanted on their birthdays and even making them each “President For The Day” on occasion at All Pro Dad. Work-life balance will rarely be evenly split 50/50.

Regardless of how the ratio breaks down for you in this season, commit to giving your kids your full attention when you are around, even if it's not as many hours as you wish.Bottom line:Be aware.Be united. Be prepare. Be present. Be creative.

They underscore the significance of work-life balance and mental wellness, discussing the pressures of law school and the legal field, the repercussions of burnout, and the necessity of setting boundaries. Larry introduces his 'Guide to a Simple Life' workbook, a practical tool designed to assist lawyers in aligning their careers with personal values. They also explore the role of mentorship, with Larry advocating for mentors outside one's practice area to avoid conflicts of interest. The conversation extends to the evolving legal landscape post-COVID, the importance of therapy for lawyers, and the trend of attorneys leaving firms to work independently for better work-life balance. They urge lawyers to define their success and prioritize their well-being. Larry is a chemical patent attorney who has seen the inner workings of many law firms. Through various career moves, he noticed a general sense of unease with the culture of modern legal practice. He also saw many great attorneys choose to leave the profession because they share that unease.  Larry knows attorneys serve an important role in society, so he is on a mission to fight for change within the profession. He posts on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/larryforchemip/) regularly about attorney work-life integration and law firm culture.

Denny talks about grind culture seeping into every part of our lives and the growing challenges of separating work from home life, especially for those who work from home. 

Balancing both work and home life is a common challenge for individuals across various fields and lifestyles. Juggling career aspirations, work responsibilities, and personal tasks while ensuring family and loved ones receive sufficient time and attention. While career success is vital, it should not compromise personal well-being or relationships. Maintaining this balance involves more than just effective time management; it also requires setting boundaries, knowing when to disengage from work, and allocating quality time for personal relationships and self-care. Tim Kennedy shares his life experiences, lessons, and advice to inspire personal growth and leadership development. As a former US Army Special Forces soldier, professional mixed martial artist, and entrepreneur, Tim's insights offer valuable guidance on navigating various challenges and seizing opportunities. Tune in as young leaders ask questions about life, personal growth, entrepreneurship, and more! Quotes: "The character of a person matters so much more than the content of their soul matters more than the content of a paper." – Tim Kennedy "I want them to have a shared purpose. I want them to have shared values. The people around my children, including their friends and their friends' parents, should have these values as well." – Tim Kennedy "The shaping of one's character and soul ultimately determines whether they will succeed or fail." – Tim Kennedy Takeaways: Put personal development and high standards at the forefront, leading by example and continually diving into education, fitness, and challenging experiences that help us grow. Build strong relationships, keeping the lines of communication open and honest with our loved ones. We can inspire others through positive influence and ensure transparency with our children, helping them understand the world around them. Value your time, balancing your career, family, and other responsibilities in a way that feels right for you. Make decisions based on data and critical thinking, aiming to identify and improve our areas of weakness. But remember, maintaining mental health and finding fulfillment in all experiences is just as important. Conclusion: Balancing work and personal life is key to our happiness. Success shouldn't mean ignoring our loved ones. Good communication helps avoid confusion and creates a positive environment at work and home. Time management is also important. It ensures we don't neglect work or family. Spending quality time with our loved ones is essential. It builds stronger relationships and gives us the emotional support we need.

In this episode, I'm interviewing PGSDer Olivia Fox, who's so generous with what she shares. Olivia walks us through the practical ways that she's used the tools inside PGSD to help her increase her business revenue while having a better work-life balance at the same time. Olivia experienced an impressive 181% increase in revenue from the previous year, all while enjoying a better work-life balance and a healthier relationship with herself.  This episode gives you an idea of what's possible when you stop using advice that doesn't work for your perfectionist brain. You may not realise it, but traditional productivity methods like to-do lists and time blocking make you procrastinate, overthink, hold yourself back, and make it harder to move past the fear of judgment.  There are so many subtle ways we can procrastinate. Olivia shares what she does in her power planning each day to stop procrastinating, complete the courageous tasks and finish work at the time she said she would. If you have courageous tasks you know you need to do right now and you're just not doing them, then this episode is for you. Olivia and I talk about how she gets herself to do those courageous tasks. We discuss how you actually go from being someone who intellectually understands what is required to build a business, to being that person who feels safe enough emotionally to build your business the way you want to.  Additionally, Olivia openly shares how uncomfortable it used to be for her to talk about money, let alone think about how much money she was capable of making and wanted to make. In Olivia's words “...the growth goal and power planning combined, are like chef's kiss to feel so much more comfortable, and like I'm not saying you're never going to feel awkward about it again. But it does provide a lot of clarity.” I'm so passionate about giving perfectionist entrepreneurs the tools that help them create a healthy work-life balance, feel safe to show up, be seen and trust themselves throughout their journey, even when things don't go perfectly.  Find the full episode transcript and show notes at samlaurabrown.com/episode453. Thank you Olivia for joining me on the podcast. In This Episode You'll Learn: How procrastination and burnout showed up for Olivia Fox Olivia's practical experience of using the tools inside of PGSD to create better work-life balance How power planning helps you identify tasks that are going to grow the business and drive revenue How to actually get yourself to do your courageous tasks The difference between your specific skill set and the skillset to build a successful business How Olivia went from feeling uncomfortable to talk about money to having an 181% increase in revenue from the previous year How to prioritise your health and well-being while you work towards your goals   Featured In The Episode: Olivia's Instagram account: instagram.com/theresumefox Olivia's website: theresumefox.com Sign up for Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (PGSD) - samlaurabrown.com/pgsd Take The Perfectionism Quiz: samlaurabrown.com/quiz Follow me on Instagram @perfectionismproject   PGSD is open!

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Frank Agin discuss:Why networking isn't pushed in law school. The science of networking and why networking is like golf. The power of small talk (and why it actually works). The three reasons lawyers do not get referrals.  Key Takeaways:Networking is really about building relationships and helping others.You have to help people to help you. If they don't know what you do or what you are looking for, they won't know how to refer you or that you even are looking for more business. People need help from you to recognize the referral opportunities and, perhaps, even the empowering language to know what to say. Build relationships outside of the organizations you're a part of. Meet a few of them on a deeper level, add value to their lives, and it will come around in spades.  "Find something you're passionate about and get out and volunteer. Get out there, put yourself out there with people who care about the same thing you do, and you'll be amazed and what comes from that." —  Frank AginSign up for How to Become a Rainmaker to Achieve Work-Life Balance with Steve Fretzin and Jennifer Gillman at https://fretzin.com/events.  Thank you to our Sponsors!Lawmatics: https://www.lawmatics.com/bethatlawyer/Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Green Cardigan Marketing: https://greencardiganmarketing.com/ Episode References: Three New People by Brian MillerFoundational Networking by Frank AginNetworking Rx Podcast About Frank Agin: Frank Agin is president of AmSpirit Business Connections, which empowers entrepreneurs, sales representatives and professionals to become successful through networking.He also shares information and insights on professional relationships, business networking, and best practices for generating referrals under the brand name Networking Rx.

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 0:05  Hey Be It babe, welcome to the FYF, the last one of October, holy frickin moly, what a month. I spent most of it, not in the country. So it feels like I only had like a week. It's not funny. Like, if you travel, you feel like you like it's not like time stood still. But like you weren't home for so much of the month that you're like, Oh, I only had one week of October, which is not true. Time really stood still in Cambodia and I have some wins to share with you about that in a second. But first I'm going to celebrate your wins. So in Fuck Yeah Friday, this is a day that we actually take time to celebrate wins, especially the small ones, especially the incomplete ones. And of course, you can celebrate some big ones and I share yours you send to me and then I share one of mine. So this one is I'm Stephanie Eder, she is an Agency member and eLevate round two person. So here we go. Just spent 10 days on vacation and strange beds, and my back was really bothering me. Did the 50 Minute OPC reformer class for August and it feels so much better. I love the theme of balance because one side of my back always hurts. And it weighed me tune in to how I was working my body. Oh, I love that for first of all, I love that OPC helped you there, of course. But I also love that you took the time for yourself. So many people after a trip would just be like, Oh my god, I have to get back into this thing I have so much to do. I've got all these things to do. And you like took something for yourself, Stephanie, that is so cool. And you were able to really like tune into what your body was going through on one side versus the other. Lots of good information there. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm so glad you want a 10-day vacation. Good for you. Lesley Logan 1:34  All right, Selena Lowe from Agency said so the first win is a bit of a bittersweet win here. With my price increase, I lost a small group class that we're doing one time, one time per week, which of course I'm sad to see them go as I have been teaching some of them for a few years now. My win is the way I handled it by not completely freaking out remembering what LL tells us that we can lose the percentage of clients that we increase our rates by. When I read that, their message, it did hurt but I have to understand people's but I have to understand people's financial situation situations decisions. This particular group, I had a feeling that I would either get pushed back on the increase or they may go so it's not a complete surprise either they were getting a really good discount previously, which they actually were not aware of to keep things simple for me, I want to have everyone be on the same prices. So the second win is that I already had a client on the waitlist for that slot, and I filled it immediately. And I have a happy client that now gets her two sessions per week. That's amazing. I'm just gonna pause before I stray off for a second win so I want to highlight this, if you raise your rates by 5% you can lose 5% of your clients but you're making the same amount of money and you have less time so that gives you more time to find people to fill those spots. So it's actually really important you know that and it sucks when people don't like your rate increase but also it's work sometimes people are going to leave us and it's really going to be okay. And you never know, they come back. Lesley Logan 3:05  Okay, back to Selena's win, she has a second one. I completed my injuries and corrective exercises course study and submitted the exam questions papers for review. Fingers crossed, I passed. Third one, I just okay, I have to interrupt with her win again. I love that you're celebrating that you just turn the thing in Selena and you're not waiting until you pass to celebrate Fuck Yeah, that's amazing. Okay, third one, two weeks in a row. Now I have had good numbers to my prenatal yoga class and some great feedback from the participants feeling positive about what September will bring. Selena, thank you so much for sharing all three of these wins. They are huge. There's something for everyone here to see themselves in. I just love I love that you celebrate wins even before they happen. I also love that you're acknowledging how wins are happening even it feels like the doors closed on something that it actually opened up a door of a win. I love that. Lesley Logan 3:58  Okay, so here's, I have a couple wins. So I am not someone who unpacks after a trip I actually like I don't know what I do. I just like leave this I know what I do, I like leave the suitcase like just there. And at some point, I open it because I need my makeup out of there or something like that. But I'll just like leave it. And I don't know why I do this. I don't I don't know why I don't just unpack right afterwards. I want to be someone who unpacks and I decided on the way home from the trip that I was like visualizing myself unpacking the suitcase. After I greet the dogs. Okay I will come and greet the dogs, I'm going to come in, I'm going to shower and I'm going to unpack the suitcase. And I did it. I know that's so crazy. I'm an adult who flosses her teeth and does all these things. But like for whatever reason, I'll just leave the suitcase open with stuff inside for a week or like, especially here's why this isn't even bigger win I'm actually leaving in five days for another trip. So sometimes I'm like, oh, I'll just unpack it when I gotta pack it like I'll just like, I'm just like, I'll just do it at the same time. And it's like, no, I'm doing it and it feels really good. So some of you are probably like, Oh my God, how disgusting. You know, we all have our flaws. So the other thing that was really, really great about the trip is, I had a lot of things that I wanted to get done on the trip, like a lot, a lot of blogs I wanted to write I had a lot of things I wanted to do to make updates for this podcast for next year. And some podcast guests I wanted to invite. And I also had this lot pressure, but like, I had this deadline of like, okay, I was going to work on the next flashcard deck. Because ideally, I was supposed to do two decks this year, and obviously I did one. So, so I really like me, I had a week in Cambodia that was dedicated to getting all these projects done. And was talking to shout out to Green. I love her. She was like, well make sure that you have room for surprise in there and like for doing ever. And I said oh yeah, I will. I will. And I love that she said that, because I just made sure that every single morning I tried a different route to my favorite place to work because I could be surprised. And that the moment I needed a break, I was like, well, let's just go walk somewhere else and get a change of scenery and be surprised. And that was really fun because it allowed me to have some moments of just like, oh, what's over there? Oh, I wonder what's over there. Oh, I wonder what's over there and just like be in wonderment. And then when I got to sitting down to work like I had this like energy and excitement and creativity to bring to it and I'm really proud of all the stuff I put together and I can't wait for you to hear all about it.
