Get the Daily Dozen Checklist -12 habits that will immediately make you happier and healthier

1 "They're all at that party without me… I've got such bad FOMO." The fear of missing out, or 'FOMO', is what you might feel when you aren't present when something exciting or enjoyable is happening. This anxiety is rife in the age of social media, where we're exposed to an avalanche of updates about other people's holidays, social events and achievements. Many find themselves comparing their lives to others', forgetting that social media is often a smokescreen, where we only see the highlight reel and a veneer of perfection. 1“他们在没有我的情况下都在那个聚会上……我有这么糟糕的FOMO。” 当您不存在激动人心或令人愉悦的事情时，您可能会感到害怕错过或“ FOMO”。 在社交媒体时代，这种焦虑盛行，我们接触到有关他人假期，社交活动和成就的雪崩。 许多人发现自己将自己的生活与他人进行比较，而忘记了社交媒体通常是烟幕，我们只能看到精彩片段的卷轴和完美的单板。 2 As an antidote to this constant pressure, many are embracing 'JOMO' – the joy of missing out. According to Svend Brinkmann, author of 'The Joy of Missing Out: The Art of Self-Restraint in an Age of Excess', the difference is that where FOMO gets us to worry about things outside of the present moment, JOMO brings us back to the here and now, encouraging us to enjoy life offline with people we truly care about. Embracing JOMO means switching off outside noise and focusing on what really brings us happiness. So, how can we stop FOMO from rearing its ugly head? 2作为对这种不断压力的解毒剂，许多人拥抱了“ Jomo” - 错过的乐趣。 根据“错过的喜悦：在过度时代的自我遏制的艺术”的作者Svend Brinkmann的说法，不同之处在于，Fomo让我们担心当下之外的事情，Jomo将我们带回这里和现在，鼓励我们与我们真正关心的人一起享受生活。 拥抱Jomo意味着关闭外部噪音，专注于真正带给我们幸福的原因。 那么，我们如何阻止FOMO抬起其丑陋的头？ 3 In her book 'The Joy of Missing Out: Live More by Doing Less', Tanya Dalton suggests making a list of activities that bring you joy and displaying them somewhere obvious to remind you to include them in your day. She also suggests a regular digital detox and carving out time for self-care, whether that's a warm bath, a solo nature walk or your favourite movie. Kristen Fuller, a physician and mental health writer, says it's about being intentional with your time. This involves scheduling activities which are important to you and practising saying "no" to people if you feel like their request will have a negative impact on you. 3 Tanya Dalton在她的书《错过的喜悦：通过少做更多的生活》中，建议制定一系列活动，使您感到高兴并在某个地方展示它们，以提醒您将它们包括在您的一天中。 她还建议定期进行数字排毒，并为自我保健赚取时间，无论是温暖的浴缸，自然漫步还是您最喜欢的电影。 医师和心理健康作家克里斯汀·富勒（Kristen Fuller）说，这是关于您的时间有意的。 这涉及安排对您很重要的活动，如果您觉得他们的要求会对您产生负面影响，这对您来说很重要。 4 A 2019 article by Ana Jorge, published in Social Media + Society looked into the experiences of people who purposefully disconnect from social media. Some of them felt they were living more mindfully, and that the disconnection allowed them to be more creative and productive. About JOMO, one participant told researchers, "I don't have to be everywhere, I don't have to be with everyone and I don't have to know everything." Perhaps it's time to unplug and try living life in the slow lane. 4 Ana Jorge的2019年文章在社交媒体 +社会上发表，研究了故意与社交媒体断开连接的人们的经历。 他们中的一些人觉得自己的生活更加思考，并且断开连接使他们变得更具创造力和富有成效。 关于乔莫（Jomo），一位参与者告诉研究人员：“我不必到处都是，我不必和所有人在一起，也不需要一切。” 也许是时候解开插头并尝试在慢速道路上生活了。

That's putting it lightly. And I started dating my current wife in 2017. And of course, as we got serious, I started to have fears. What if we fall in love and get married and it blows up like the last one did?Lesley Logan 0:16  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 0:59  Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It rewind series that we are doing. This is our last of the rewind episodes. Brad Crowell 1:06  Wow, can't believe we made it here. Lesley Logan 1:07  I know. And so, these are four clips. They're not the only amazing clips we could have picked, but they are the ones we chose for you this year. Brad Crowell 1:15  But they are the coolest. Lesley Logan 1:16  And that's what this is. This is the cool advice episode. Honestly, what happened is, okay, I was going through our entire catalog. I did this. I went through the entire catalog, and I basically was just like, oh, this person, go here, this one, go here. And we had two that didn't have like titles yet. And so it's kind of like, oh, I really like these two. All these two are kind of like this, right? So that's where the bold moments came from. So this cool advice was just like, I just fucking like these people. And how did we not already choose them yet? I don't know. So, I know we already have, like, a potpourri category, but we have another one, and this one's called Cool. So we're.Lesley Logan 1:17  This one's less generic than that, but still in there.Lesley Logan 1:52  Just don't, even, but there, but the people are anything but generic. Brad Crowell 1:55  It doesn't make the advice bad. It's just categorizing them. It's awesome. Lesley Logan 2:01  Okay, well.Brad Crowell 2:02  We're on it. Lesley Logan 2:02  You know what? This is like, Cool Ranch. Okay? Brad Crowell 2:04  It's Cool Ranch. It goes on anything. Lesley Logan 2:06  It goes on anything. Brad Crowell 2:06  That's right. Lesley Logan 2:07  And we're gonna talk about how to meet people. We're gonna talk about outgrowing fear. We're gonna talk about boundaries, which, by the way, this episode is dropping the day after Christmas, and you're probably feeling like you have some boundaries you need to set up or re-establish, or, I don't know, you probably thought about that yesterday, so that clip is definitely going to help you. That whole episode's epic, and we're gonna talk about redefining strength. Actually, this is it. We're talking about Javeno McLean because he's fucking cool. Brad Crowell 2:33  Javeno is so cool. Lesley Logan 2:34  He's so cool. I mean, my goodness, I watched it when I first asked him to be on the podcast. He has like 45,000 followers now he's like almost 700,000, like, slain and just inspiring the fuck out of people. So let's get into the cool episodes. Brad Crowell 2:48  I'm all about it. Here we go. Lesley Logan 2:50  All right, let's kick things off with Dr. Kelly Bender, Episode 41 about Finding the People in the Room Who Are Not Like You. Y'all, if you need friends in your life, you need a network, you need anything like this, this clip is going to give you a powerful tip.Brad Crowell 3:06  Yeah. And Kelly also talked about how to meet people. And she is a doctor, obviously, and she decided to start going to meetups where there were not doctors in the room. And that was on purpose. And I thought that was really kind of clever, even though it might not seem that intuitive. It was great.Lesley Logan 3:21  Well, because here's the deal, like, and I know we have a lot of Pilates people listening to this, so I want to make sure you do not take offense at this. But I love a Pilates conference. I really do. But I also have a lot more fun meeting people who have nothing to do with my industry, because I actually pick up on ideas that are unique and different or I. Brad Crowell 3:40  Well how you can support other people. Lesley Logan 3:41  Well, also it's how I can grow my own business, because I actually like what we've created wasn't just for Pilates people. It's for people who love Pilates. And so this advice is really important to like, kind of help you cast your net a little further out. Brad Crowell 3:56  Yeah, love it. All right, here we go.Dr. Kelly Bender 3:58  So one of the big things that I tell people the be it till you see it kind of a thing is putting things in your physical environment that make you feel happy or that make you feel that desired state. So one of the things is, I, I've got, you know, I've got my plants, I've got my crystals, you know, I've got all of the things that kind of just make me feel like I'm that person. And one of the biggest things that changed, I had some money mindset stuff. Being a doctor, being a care provider, I just like giving care for free, right? Like I just wish I could give care for free. It makes me feel so good, but that's not a sustainable business model. So what I did when I wanted to change how I felt about money was I took $200 bills and put it, I have this little kind of seashell type thing that I put them in with my Amethyst from when I was little on top of it, and it's right over here where I do my work. And I just have it there, and it's like money is around. Money is available. If I need 100 bucks, I could grab it from there, right? I don't, because I'm just putting it there, but physically putting the things in your space to remind you of what you want to grow and what you want to focus on, I think is really important. Lesley Logan 5:17  Oh, I love this. Dr. Kelly Bender 5:19  Yeah. And then absolutely like adding people to your environment, to your friend group, find the people who are not like you. That's what I would say. A lot of times, we tend to be friends with the people that are very similar to us, because they reinforce our beliefs and it makes us feel good about ourselves. But I would encourage you to find people who are very different from you, because they're going to have life experiences and they're going to have skill sets that are complimentary to yours, that you might need or you might benefit from. I started working with very, very, very, very high-net-worth individuals, and completely changed how I saw life, how I saw my own like, how I run my household. Just seeing how people run their household, how they run staff, helped me understand what was possible. Lesley Logan 6:21  That's so interesting. Dr. Kelly Bender 6:21  So I specifically went to meetups that were not medical related. So most of the people I knew who were doctors, they went to all these medical ones to network with other medical professionals. And I was like, first of all, I want friends who are not doctors. Second of all, I like, you're not going to become my patients. You're doctors. And third, I actually went to a lot of them that were, like, business-oriented, because I was like, I need friends or people who are in business to help me learn how to do this. And so, you know, I would, I would psych myself up, and I, this is not a thing that I love to do, so I really, you know, there was a lot of anxiety before everyone but I was like, you know, what's the worst that can happen? That's what I would tell myself. What's the worst that can happen? You're gonna go, you're gonna meet some interesting people, and if you don't like them, you never have to see them again. So that's the nice thing about meetups, is everybody is there to network. So it's different than going to a bar or something like that. Everyone knows that's the deal. So you go up and you tell your story, and you hand out business cards. Lesley Logan 7:25  All right, that was episode 41 and with Dr. Kelly Bender, we love her, and she had another episode with us, by the way. Go, just search for her name on the Be It Pod. You'll find it. Brad's going to come up with it at some point, but don't worry, we'll put it in the show notes, too. Now, we're moving on to Episode 141, I promise you that wasn't on purpose. We're gonna talk about outgrowing fear. So this episode with Chris Goodman could be seen as a business episode, but actually, I just really think is applicable to everybody, because fear keeps us from being it till we see it tenfold, 100% hands down, any other metaphor, cliche thing you'd say they're like, fear is what stops people. And one of the things I love that he said, that we're gonna get into, is how a decision rooted in fear will create results rooted in fear. And, oh, that stings, because we know it. Like, you know it's so true, when you do something out of fear, and then the thing comes and it's also just crap, because it was like, it's like, you planted the seed in fear. So it grew a fear plant.Brad Crowell 8:24  Yeah. And he kind of continued that metaphor, and basically said he had to outgrow the fear that he was in. Anyway, it's a very inspiring episode. Here we go. Chris Goodman 8:34  It's such a great point, because people tend to discount how much a decision rooted in fear will create results rooted in fear, right? And you see, I imagine many of your Pilates instructors are going through this right now that they've been so conservative in their pricing, even though they're bringing tremendous value, that they keep making decisions, like, backing away from the fear. And so they keep getting people who want to pay bottom dollar prices, right? And so they get clients who are not, maybe necessarily respectful of their time, or do the exercises they tell them to do, or whatever. I worked with lots of physical therapists, and this seems to be a trend that when we are in fear and we make a decision like, well, I can't raise rates because then I'll lose clients. They're definitely not doing anything to attract the people who want to pay a, for instance, premium, a luxury price for a luxury service. And so they don't get those people, those people go somewhere else, and it's sort of a race to the bottom.Lesley Logan 9:36  So is it possible to outlearn a fear? I think so.Chris Goodman 9:39  I genuinely believe it is. I'll pick on myself for an example, here, I went through a really nasty divorce in 2015, that's putting it lightly, and I started dating my current wife in 2017 and of course, as we got serious, I started to have fears, well, what if we fall in love and get married and it blows up like the last one did, right? I had to outlearn that fear. I had to outgrow, I think outgrow is probably a better term, and the only way I could do that was by facing it head on. So when the time came to let Lindsey, my wife, know how serious I was and how committed to this relationship was, I told her, I said, I think this is really going somewhere. And she said, well, that's tough because I'm not sure it is. And I have a lot of fears and I have a lot of doubt right now. I didn't even think. I just blurted it out. I said, well, that really sucks, because I'm in love with you. And talk about running into your fear head long. I mean, tell somebody that just told you they're not sure about the relationship, that you love them, and put your heart out there to get stomped on. And she looked like I threw paint all over her. She was just like, what? Like, I'm growing antlers. What? And this look washed over her face and her eyes welled up with tears. And she said, I'm in love with you too. I'm just terribly afraid right now. I'm so afraid, and so we use this as an example all the time when we do podcasts, because we're both afraid. She had had bad relationships, failed relationships, two relationships that went four years each. It's not like we have somehow strapped on this armor as coaches that allows us to walk through anything with no fear. Not the case. It is that we accept it as sort of a mission to run headlong into it and all the discomfort that comes with it and outgrow it anyway.Lesley Logan 11:32  All right, so that was 141 if you want to dive more into the fear topic, I hope you do. Now we're gonna go to 153 so we're not (inaudible).Brad Crowell 11:40  We're going backwards in time. Lesley Logan 11:41  We're going backwards in time. We're not, we're going forward. Like, a week later we had Tanya Dalton.Brad Crowell 11:45  Oh, yeah, 141, 153, yeah, you know.Lesley Logan 11:47  Yeah, it'll be two weeks. Tanya Dalton is incredible author, and she has several books out. One of them was the JOMO, which is like the joy of messing out. But this episode was about boundaries, and she is a mom, she's a busy woman, and we talked about the importance of boundaries, and she gave incredible example, a visual example, about how important boundaries are. And if you struggle with enforcing boundaries, I want to tell you, the resentment you're feeling is because of that, because we're the only people who can build our own boundaries, and then we have to enforce them, which can make us feel like we're being rude or demanding or whatever. But you have to understand that boundaries are very helpful. In fact, they're so helpful that Tanya explains all of that in this episode. Brad Crowell 12:33  Yeah, this is a great one tune in. Tanya Dalton 12:35  I think it's so poignant and helpful for people to understand why we need boundaries. If you were to imagine a school that's next to a busy road, there's no fence, the teachers are going to let the kids go out for recess, but they're going to say, like, stay close, right? Because we don't want them running out to the road, so the kids have to play close to the school and where the teachers can keep an eye on them. But if there is a school next to a busy road and they put up a fence, same school put up a fence around it, the kids can go to all the corners of the field. They can go play kickball over here, and play hide and go seek over there, and they can take advantage of the full field. And that's what boundaries do. It allows us to have this container that we can explore and we can play, and we can really enjoy ourselves fully, because we have that container, because we have that boundary, and then we can go inside and do the next thing, right? And that's what I love about boundaries, is when we have them in place, when we have good, healthy boundaries, it feels so good. It really does. Brad Crowell 13:35  Okay. I hope you enjoyed Episode 153, with Tanya Dalton talking about boundaries. So the next person is the epitome of cool, I must say. Mr. Javeno McLean, Episode 205. Wow. What an empowering, inspirational, incredible human he is. Lesley Logan 13:55  We talk about him all the time. Brad Crowell 13:57  You want to cry tears of joy? Watch his Instagram. It will bring you to tears every single time. It's just so fun to see how he empowers other people. Lesley Logan 14:06  Also, like we obviously can't put his entire episode here, because you're gonna go listen to his entire episode. Brad Crowell 14:10  Yeah, go back and listen to it on the pod. Lesley Logan 14:12  You gotta go listen to it. Because he really talks about how we can hold people back, how we can look at people who are different than us and think, oh, they can't do things. And he is actually redefining what is possible. And I think he's an inspiration for all of us. Sometimes we're like, I can't do this because of this. Oh, I can't do this because of this. I can't do this because of this. And, like, there's no because of this for him, he's like, oh, yet, here we go. Let's move this thing one more notch up and see what you can do. And, my goodness.Brad Crowell 14:12  I just think it's incredible that he takes the time and the money and the effort to literally create a space and buy all this equipment, and then he spends the time to empower people who need the support. And I think it is just so powerful.Lesley Logan 14:59  That they need the support, and also they need someone to believe in the possibilities Brad Crowell 15:04  For them. Lesley Logan 15:05  For them because.Brad Crowell 15:06  He provides that. Lesley Logan 15:07  I'm a Pilates instructor, and so people come to me and say, my doctor says I can't (inaudible) on my spine. And they're like, I can't do any of those things. I can't do that. I can't do that. I can't do this. And the way I look at bodies is like, okay, well, what can you do? And the way that Javeno is going to inspire all of us is like, really focusing on, like, let's redefine what you think your weaknesses and see what strengths are possible. And I don't know, get ready to fill chills up and down. I already have chills. I'm just having chills thinking about it. So here's Javeno McLean.Brad Crowell 15:37  Enjoy.Javeno McLean 15:38  One thing with me, Les, is always about normality and redefining boundaries. I've always been that person, and I think normality is the most powerful thing on this planet. And I realized a long time ago, no matter who you are, whether you're, no matter what your condition, elderly, disabled, whatever it is, all anybody wants us to be treated normal. And me, now, I'm a father of two young boys, and God forbid if anything was to happen to my little boys, all I want is the world to treat my babies normal. Don't feel sorry for them and don't pity them. Treat them normal. And years ago, Les, long story short, I was, I used to manage sessions. We call it the council, in the USA, you call it the government baby. I used to work for the government, and I used to do sessions all around the city of Manchester. And I had a I had people that worked for me. And I'm watching a session with this young guy, one of my members and staff, and he was teaching this young boy in a wheelchair. This young boy was, he was so bored. He was so, so bored. He was 19 and I watched the session, and he stayed in his wheelchair, Les, and but when the trainer went to go to the bathroom, this boy got up out of his chair, and he walked over to where the water and the drinks was, and he poured himself a drinks. So I came in the room, and I went crazy at him. I said to him, don't you ever let another man or another person dilute your power. Don't ever let nobody tell you that you're meant to be in that chair like that chair defines you. I said, I've just watched you for 20 minutes lift the two pound weights, big strapping rugby player boy, and he was lifting weights that he knows he can do more. He could get apart from his chair. He could walk, like a lot of disabled people, or a lot of people in wheelchairs. They're not always in the wheelchairs forever. A lot of them can actually get up and move. And I said to him, don't ever let nobody dilute your power and tell you that you have to stay in that wheelchair. So when the trainer came back in, I said, you know what? You go home. I said, I'm going to take the rest of this session, and for the rest of the session, I made him stand up because I knew that he could, and even if he couldn't, I said, I've got you, I said, you're going to push yourself. You're 19 years old. And I said, you got all this life to live. You can't live an attacked life by just being locked in your little box and letting the world and people tell you, you stay in your wheelchair. You do, I said, No. So I made him stand up for 20 minutes, and he did it. I made him lift the the bigger dumbbells, nothing crazy, but a little bit heavier than what I know we could do. And at the end of the session, this is what changed for me, Lesley, this is where it was a little bit awkward, where this little boy's parents was in the room and his dad was massive. His dad was huge. His dad was so big. And he walked over, and I thought, I don't know what's going to happen, Les, I don't know what will happen, because I didn't know. And he came over and he just started crying, and me and him hugged for about 20 minutes, him and his wife, and we cried, and he was explaining to me everything that they everything that I was saying to him people are scared to say to him because of his wheelchair. And he said they tell him every day that you're lazy, you can do more, but because it's mommy and daddy, he doesn't want to listen. And he said I was the first person to ever talk to him and treat him normal, because the world, when it comes to people that are disabled or elderly or vulnerable, they've got a thing where they don't want to offend and they don't want to tell him anything. So they said to me, I was the first person to treat him normal, and they could. They loved it. They loved it. And I said to myself on that day, because you're in a wheelchair while disabled, you ain't no different from me or you or anybody else. Lesley Logan 19:22  Was that epic or was it epic? Brad Crowell 19:24  I mean, this guy, I I'm so excited I can't wait to meet him in person.Lesley Logan 19:29  I'm just gonna go listen to this episode now. Brad Crowell 19:31  Yeah. Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready. Lesley Logan 19:33  Okay, so this is the last of our rewind series. Again, we want to know if you like the rewind series. If you want this to be an annual tradition. Of course, we'll pick different episodes. If you have topics that you would like us to do a rewind episode on. We want to know. Brad Crowell 19:47  Yeah or if there was an episode that you thought was super powerful and really impacted you that, we didn't cover, tell us that, and we'll go back. And they are definitely going to be those as well. So. Lesley Logan 19:57  We're not going anywhere. We are on the top 1.5% and I have a huge goal for this coming year, and it requires your help. Brad Crowell 20:03  It does so I share this episode. Lesley Logan 20:05  Share this episode. Here's my goal I'm gonna share with you. I want to hasten. Is that the right word? I want to quicken. I hasten the time to go from 1.5% to 1% and not because I'm not, I'm unsatiable When we go from 1.5% to 1% it means even more, like, thousands of people are, lives are being changed because of this podcast. We can't do that a lot. Brad Crowell 20:29  Well, not only that, it also allows us to put this pod in front of even more amazing guests. Lesley Logan 20:35  But also, yeah, get more guests, more amazing guests. If someone's like, you should get Michelle Obama on. And I'm like, yeah, so. Brad Crowell 20:41  We will. Lesley Logan 20:41  We will. Somebody explain to you how Michelle Obama says yes, probably money, but also .5%. I'm not asking you to get me to .5% next year, although you can. That's an Abraham Hicks thing, not asking for it right now, although it can be. But the more you share this episode, the more you listen to our podcast, the more reviews we get, we go from 1.5% to 1% we don't, you can't skip, we don't skip ahead and then we'll go to 1% and then a .5% we're here to this podcast until we reach as many people as when, when people start saying, I'm being it till I see it everywhere and like its own cliche, its own thing, that people just say all the time, then we will go, okay, hold on now that everyone's being it until we see it, what are we gonna do? But this mission is here to help change people's lives. And it's not because we want to change people's lives. We actually want you to. If you are being it until you see it, if you have all the answers and the help and the support to be it till you see it, then you change people's lives. And even if you don't, you don't have to be in your own business person to change people's lives. You can change people's life, maybe the parent and a spouse and a friend and a sister and a coworker and a neighbor. Brad Crowell 21:46  You can change your own life by being it until you see it. Lesley Logan 21:48  Well that, yeah, that's actually probably, change your life first, because then you can take people with you.Lesley Logan 21:55  I'm Lesley Logan.Brad Crowell 21:56  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 21:57  And you know what to do, Be It Till You See It. Brad Crowell 22:00  Bye for now.Lesley Logan 22:02  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

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  Hi, Be It babe. Welcome back. Welcome back to the inspiration station. You know, the thing that gives you some ideas of what could be possible wins on a week that might have just felt like a lot. And it's summertime. When the heat is up, it can just feel like a lot. Am I right? Okay, so how this episode goes, if you're new to the Be It pod, we actually share some wins of yours that you sent in, a win of mine and a mantra. Our interviews are on Tuesdays, our recaps are on Thursdays, listen to them all. They're a lot of fun. There's like incredible guests that are coming up as well and share it with a friend. I was gonna ask you now. I am practicing asking for more help things. More helpful things. And one of those things that would be really helpful for me is if you share our podcast with a friend, that's how we get new listeners. So, please don't keep it to yourself. That would not be fair. Lesley Logan 1:36  Okay. So here we go. The first one up is from Melissa Capitano. Oh, she is an eLevate grad, an agency member. I'm just so excited for this. Here we go. Not sure I've posted a win before but one of my goals is to be better in Slack and I figured wins is a great place to start. An early FYF, got a free course from Tanya Dalton, read her book for Book Club, need to listen to her pod episode. Anyway, she has this idea of five-minute miracle so I printed out the worksheet. I've been doing the five minutes before I leave work each night this week. That is so cool. I love that. We had Tanya Dalton on the pod, everyone. She is a great, great author. And so, definitely, listen to her episode. Agency members read her book. JOMO, which is like the joy of missing out, last month. So more for Melissa. Here we go. This lady just walked into the studio. She said she's never been in but is on our email list. I'm looking forward to my weekly emails. She came in to buy a gift certificate for her and her friend to do a private together, paid cash and didn't want change. Wow. I've been writing weekly emails for two years and three months. Definitely a long game. But this is your reminder to collect those email addresses and send something out regularly. Holy moly, Melissa, that is so cool. This is exactly what I tell people all the time, consistency is key. And you never know who's listening. It takes people 17 to 27 touchpoints now to click on anything. So the fact that you've been writing two years and three months, so if let's just say she's probably been reading them for two years, and now she's ready because now it's time to buy it for a friend and that's what people want to do. So way to go. Melissa, thank you for sharing both of those wins.Lesley Logan 3:10  I have a few wins from Ainsley Walker. She is an eLevate member right now and she's been in Agency for a couple of years and so got a lot of just great little wins from her and I love, I love the way that she sees wins and so I want to share that with you because I think she'd be great inspiration as well as Melissa to you seen amazing wins. I've been sharing and mentioning parts of moves I'm working on when I'm teaching so clients know I'm very much alongside them on their journey and in practice. And me not showing them perfectionist created more discussion giggles laughs and encouraged more questions from clients on what they're feeling. They are in particular loved it when I told them that I needed to get my bum higher and rolling like a ball and what followed was beautiful belly laughs where the whole class fell into complete hysterics. As I rested my shoulder my bum in the air I love this level of honesty, vulnerability that I've tapped into and can show. A new client just showed up to class out of curiosity I was able to chat and fill out forms before she loved it and signed up. In a class I was able to teach the repertoire and move to show her what her body needs. This week, I started a class by settling them in and then just saying your hundred, no more words needed. They all did their own hundred for their body. I heard angels sing. Al right, a couple more for Ainsly because again, they're just icing like how there can be wins and just chatting with people there can be wins and being vulnerable about what you're not doing great at that you're trying to help others be great at these help people have connections. So Ainsley Walker's watching weekend two of eLevate and this month my hips have changed. Yay, more open Russian Splits are more possible. So have you ever done anything you guys where you're just like, I'm not good at this. And then you know, just kept going and then allowed yourself to realize you are getting better at things? I think that's why not a lot of people like to film themselves and stuff but filming ourselves and things sometimes is the best way for us to us, especially visual learners, to see that we are having an effect, that we are making changes because we can always feel that we're making changes because we maybe are not exactly where we want to be yet. So I just really love that she was able to watch and then see how much her hips have changed and that Russian Splits are more possible. All right, last thing, I did the full mat order with my mat group, offered an alternative and when it came to the rocking, I went to demo so that they could reach towards their ankles. Instead of doing a full rock. Imagine a full rock like Lex, my advanced client, and as I said this my hands magically held my feet and then I started to rock somewhere along the fat. Last few months, my body's changed. I reached my goal move doing everything but the goal move. Lesley, you are right. But what was lovely was I squealed in delight, everyone clapped. And we all celebrate together. It was a great that the class new, saw that I'm working on my body, too and changes do happen when trusting the order. Yes. So something I should know, is that in eLevate, we do not practice the things you struggle with, to get better at the things you struggle with. You can still do them, especially if they're fine for your body. But what we really do focus on is what other things could help you do the exercise you struggle with. So where are you struggling with that exercise? Is it flexibility? Is it strength? Is it connections? What is it? What other exercises can help you do that?So it's what eLevate's focus is and the girls in eLevate, they focus on their body and for the teacher that they're they're working with in the program. And then hopefully, as they are learning how to do that with themselves, they do with their classes and their clients as well. And so Ainsley's win here is just proof that if you actually just focus on the connections that you need, you could just pop up into the exercise you have been practicing very much and do it. Way to go, Ainsley. Thank you for sharing all of these wins. It was so fun to relive them with you. Lesley Logan 6:52  Okay, so my win. My win is last month, I don't know if I told you guys, but Brad and I spoke at an event called Get Published Live. And I'll be really honest, a little bit of impostor syndrome about like, why was I being asked to speak on a topic that I just kind of felt it's not really a thing that I talked about. And so Brad and I did the talk together. And we were creating this workshop, and I just was like, oh my god, is this gonna be, is this is gonna be enough? Is this gonna be good enough? And I made this amazing, beautiful slideshow. Shout out to Brad, he really did that. And we presented together. And so a couple wins, I'm gonna celebrate this one, I have been wanting to make sure I insert Pilates workouts in anytime I speak because oh my gosh, people just sit all day. So I kicked it all off with everyone doing a standing pilates workout, even though some of them were in heels. That's fine. It worked out really well. And then Brad and I did our workshop together. And at the end, every single person found a different way to come up to us and tell us what they liked about it. And everyone liked a different part of the workshop, which is really amazing. And really beautiful and really fun. And I'm so glad that we did it. I'm not kidding, like part of me was like, why are we, why are we doing this? Like do, do they know? Like, are we gonna be, are we going to disappoint them? Do they know what we're talking about? So the win is that we overcame that impostor syndrome, or at least I did, I don't think Brad had any imposter syndrome around it. And we taught the workshop that was true to our hearts and true to our brand and true to like how we believe about things. And we had massive impacts there. The next win that comes from this is part of me was like, we should just dip out, we don't actually have to stick around, you know, you head to L.A. But the other part is like let's just stick around because like, let's be supportive of somebody. I'm not someone who likes to go to events, just do my thing and leave like that just doesn't sit well with me. I like to be there early enough to like hear what's going on. So it stuck with our values. And we stayed around. And I got to meet really cool people that, look, it hasn't happened yet. But we all have plans to follow up with each other. The next time I am in Arizona, so and also like, usually I would let Brad start those conversations or usually I would let them start a conversation with me or them come with an idea of how we could collaborate together and said this time, I was like, hey, here's what I do that I think might be interesting to your publication or to your podcast, like what do you think? And so I have to follow up now, but the win is that I put myself out there in a place where I could have been rejected, which wouldn't have been personal by the way, but it could have been and a lot of times we let the fear of rejection keep us from even trying it. So just shout out. There's so many different little wins that happen in this one event. And then also, you know, my husband and I were able to sit down and go okay, so what are some of the things we want to take away from this and what are some of the things we want to implement going forward? Because we, we do have a lot going on, and how, how many events can we participate in in a year? And which ones, why are we participating in them? You know, it can't, it's not always about money. You know, we often do some, some events for free so, so but what are we expecting out of it so that it is a win-win for everyone? And I just want to say like, big thanks to James Patrick, for inviting us to the Get Published Live, we learned so much. And I know that the people who attended our workshop learned a lot, too. So it's just really freaking cool to get to be a teacher and a student at the same time. So thank you. That's my win. What are your wins? I want to hear them. I want you to send to the Be It Pod. I want to celebrate you. We'll start it out on the next episode. And please do me a huge favor, share these episodes with friends who need them, those ones who just like, can't figure out what a win is. We have a rule inside of all of our groups. If you complain, you have to also go post a win, not allowed to wait to post a win, you have to post at the same day. Because there's always positive things that are happening. So if you've got someone in your life who just can't get positive, you can make sure that they have that rule for them too. You can tell what's going on in your life but you also tell us what's a win in your life we have to celebrate the wins. So happy FYF. Have an amazing day. Until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 11:16  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

You have to believe in yourself before anyone else will.” “When we create an action roadmap we give ourselves the directions of where we want to go next.” “Overwhelm isn't having too much to do.

This week on the She's Making An Impact Podcast, Rachel is joined by Tanya Dalton. Tanya shares her journey as a productivity expert, speaker, author, and founder of a successful company. She wants you to know that productivity is not just about working from nine to five but living life intentionally and on your own terms. She reveals all to Rachel from running her first business with only $50 while juggling being a mom and having a husband who traveled frequently, to transitioning into her current roles, Inkwell Press, writing books with Harper Collins, and public speaking. She also gives you alllll the inside info on HOW. You're gonna love it!

Is the concept of TIME becoming a bit obsolete in the world of entrepreneurship? In the traditional sense, yes. And productivity expert Tanya Dalton is breaking down the barriers for how we perceive time as business owners (who obviously need to be REALLY productive)! For Tanya, time has always been of the essence. How could it not be while leading her company InkWell Press to multi-million dollar success and beyond, and seeing her products used by thousands of productive people? (You've seen her planners in stores like Target and Staples.)  Well, all that is exactly why she was quick to notice all of the ways we're actually *hurting* ourselves by not slowing down. So today she drops incredible truths like these through her most recent OxfordTalk and interviews like this one, flipping the script on how we look at time management.  In this episode of Reward, The Trust founder Ali Brown sits down with our founding member Tanya to not only break down her story of how productivity became “her lane”, but how what she saw as productive also started to shift for herself, her team, and her family.  On this episode of the #REWARDPodcast, you'll hear: Tanya's key to shifting from a scarcity mindset to abundance and collaboration (it's simpler than you think!) How true productivity lies in asking how we LIVE, not just how we work The powerful moment that told Tanya it was time to let go of her business baby and sell her company (we loved this one!) How she was able to step away from her company and actually do more for its mission as a result  Ali and Tanya's take on time as a social construct (stay with us here!) and the impact of the good ol' Industrial Revolution The REAL reward behind relinquishing “control” and saying goodbye to time “management” And, go learn more about The Trust and Tanya!  Learn more about The Trust – our modern, premier network for 7+8-figure women entrepreneurs  Follow The Trust on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ Follow The Trust on ⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠  Learn more about ⁠⁠The Intentional Advantage Podcast⁠⁠ Follow Inkwell Press on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠  Connect with us on social using the hashtag ⁠⁠#RewardPodcast⁠⁠ and share your key takeaways from this episode!

Key 3 to Hustling Sanely is “define your priorities” – but the truth is, for some people, that's easier said than done. We live in such a fast-paced world — it's easy to get swept up in the thinking that everything is important and deserves our time and energy.

She helps executives and entrepreneurs step into purposeful leadership.We are talking about how to uncover what's most important to you because in the chaotic rush of our days, it is easy to get caught up in the “doing” that too often, we don't take the time to sit back, reflect, and realize, we have the power to choose what's most important to us. It can be tempting to feel like everything is a priority, and while things may be important, that doesn't mean they're a priority in this season of your life.Tune in to this episode to hear Tanya and I chat about:⋒  Tanya's easy-to-follow process for uncovering your priorities ⋒  How to stay focused on your true priorities when you're juggling a lot of high-energy roles⋒  How to handle distractions (like other people seeking our time and attention) so that we can show up well for our priorities| CONNECT WITH TANYA |Tanya's WebsitePodcast: The Intentional Advantage Podcast

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. All right, I'm stoked, this, get ready to write this whole thing down my perfectionist overachievers, this woman is here for you. She gets you, she understand you. Yes, that's me. But it's also our guest, Hilary Billings. She has just really made an incredible career for herself. And I think it's easy to see people doing stuff and go, must be nice. We've talked about this before with Tanya Dalton. Let's be nice. It's so easy for them. Like, yeah, they could do it, but I can't. And honestly, like, what I love about Hillary's story, and we could have gone 17 different ways with this episode, so I will have to have her back. But you are gonna hear that she can't, she started out like a lot of us. Most of us started out in a position where we didn't have money. We didn't have people around us as models for what to do. And also like, there was a lot of things out of our control that kept us from being who we wanted to be in this world, or we thought we wanted to be in this world. And so what I hope you get out of this episode is that life is such a journey. And we're supposed to do it together. And so thank you for being a listener of the show. Because, I mean, I couldn't do the show without you. I really couldn't. So thank you. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for being you. And here is Hilary Billings. All right, Be It babes. I am really thrilled. Because honestly, we should be doing this podcast in person, we actually live close enough, we probably should have done that. But I'm really excited because, you know, the world is a funny place. And I was introduced to this woman a couple of times. And a couple of times, we had texted back like let's get together. And like true women who work for themselves. Life gets really busy and things get in the way. But this is really funny how we came upon this. She reached out about wanting some help. And someone's like Lesley, you should, you would be perfect for her. And then we hit it off on a zoom call. And we realized we were literally down the street from each other at the more we were talking. And so Hillary Billings is my guest today. She is a neighbor. Even if there's a freeway in between, and she's an incredible woman who has a wonderful journey that I can't wait for you to hear about. Because y'all we I think it's really easy for us to think about life happening to us. And really, it can be the thing that's happening for you. And Hillary is going to tell you that, so Hillary, will you tell everyone who you are and what you're rocking at?Hilary Billings 08:51Oh my gosh, Lesley, we should have done this in person. What were we thinking?Lesley Logan 08:54I don't know. I literally, I was like, Oh, she could have just been to kind of come over.Hilary Billings 08:59Walked over, had coffee and sat down.Lesley Logan 09:03I would have made you a latte. I have a machine now.Hilary Billings 09:06Jesus, we'll have to redo this whole thing over again. We'll just come back we'll do more. (Lesley: Yes, there'll be more I agree). You know, what I think is so beautiful about this is that it is such a testament to me that the universe will not let you miss the thing that's meant for you. Because we have spent so much time going back and forth. I think over the past two years, I'm being introduced in multiple different ways to different people. And I think that there's something so special about that, that even though it wasn't it was misaligned in the time or I was here and you were there or whatever was happening that we couldn't make it work that the universe will always ensure that the people that you need to meet come back into your life. And that gives me so much peace now as someone that has struggled with anxiety and perfectionism and needing to continue to roll the ball up the hill all the time that the universe is conspiring in your favor. So I love that.Lesley Logan 09:55Yeah, I you as you say that I am it brings up all the different times that like the universe like would not let me not know this person. Yeah, yes, yes.Hilary Billings 10:06We've all been there right? It's so it's such a beautiful thing. So I'm Hilary billings I'm based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. And I also am a recovering perfectionist and I have such a very eclectic background, I'd like to call myself a cat with nine lives. I started off in psychology, went into journalism, I accidentally became a travel blogger, accidentally became Miss Nevada due to a firework accident and separating second and third degree burns. And then all this, again, this continual evolution of the universe lovingly taking me off my path, and abruptly putting me into a new scenario that I had to figure out how to work. And so now, I am a content creator of viral video content creator for social media and run a creative agency where we help personal brands and entrepreneurs and companies and their agency partners, you know, make content that people care about that their audiences want to see. So we help drive revenue and reputation that way, but lifetime learner, and certainly I like to consider myself a professional adventurer in a lot of capacities. Having done everything from Lion taming to beauty pageants to Red Carpet hosting and beyond. Lesley Logan 11:21Okay, so, I, I think we need to tell people like when you say like, you have animals, like you have farm animals situation happening as well, right, like so... And you have a, like, land with animals.Hilary Billings 11:33So I do have a horse that I keep her at a barn in the mountains edge in Las Vegas, and then we do have 125 pound great pyrenee, so yes, we're, I'm slowly accruing, the animals. I don't have all the land yet, but we're gonna manifest that at some point. It's coming, I'm sure. But I have always been able to be around lots of land, lots of animals, which has been fantastic and, and had a lot of opportunity to work with different even big Catholic African lions and tigers throughout the years. So...Lesley Logan 12:04So So what I guess like there's so many places we can go because I'm sure people like the firework thing, what's going on? ... But I guess like, I want to start with like, when did you recognize that your perfectionism was getting in the way? Because like, I can see how like on so many of those things like being the psychologist being the journalist, like some of that, like the perfectionism might even felt like it was a superpower. But like, obviously, it led you to something else, like can you think of a time where like, this is actually keeping me from having the life I want to live.Hilary Billings 12:34So the first moment that I recognized that my perfectionism may not be serving me was when I received 14 rejection letters for graduate school. So I was the number one graduate of UNLV, they gave me an award called the outstanding graduate for being the best student out of all the students and I was so proud of that. And that was based upon not only academics, where I had a three point 90 GPA, I had one A minus my entire college career, it was in world history. Ironically, I like to blame it on the teacher failed many, many moons later. But you know, it's based upon your academics, your research, your community involvement, I was taking 21 credits a semester, which is a full course load, plus running multiple research labs, plus working part time jobs. And I was on a full academic ride scholarship. I, I couldn't, my parents couldn't afford for me to go to college. And I was very heavily involved with the finances of paying for our house and our mortgage when I was growing up. So I knew that if I wanted to go to college, I had to make it happen. So I applied for so many scholarships that by the time I graduated, UNLV was actually paying me to go to school. And I was terrified that we're going to ask for the money back because I don't have enough expenses for all of this and books and what have you. But and I made the sacrifice to stay in Las Vegas to go to school. It wasn't the dream that I wanted. I always wanted to get out and go to someplace exotic and wanted to attend an Ivy League. But you know, again, the realistic perfectionist in me is like, let's graduate debt free and then figure it out. So when I was applying to graduate schools, like if there was a top draft pick for graduate school programs, I was very competent, that I was that I was doing everything that I had been told, since I was a freshman that if you do these things, you will get into a great program. And it just so happened, you know, as the world will, will come upon you. There was a lot that was outside of my control for this. I graduated right after the 2008. So graduated 2010. So we're still dealing with the 2008 crisis and recession and that crash. PhD programs will not take students unless they can fully fund them at least on the clinical psychology side. And so I was up against the same, you know, 700 applicants from across the country, and I would see the same 70 people at all of the interviews that I was going and paying to participate in. And through that process, I will get phone calls from the professors being like we loved you, you are our number two or number three pick, we only have enough money to fund student number one, or it was you were great. But the students that we've chosen are actually already practicing physicians that have their masters that are coming back to get their PhDs now, because of the way the market has turned. And there are a better deal than having to pay for somebody on a full PhD, right? There was even one letter that I got that was not addressed to me. And someone, someone had crossed out the name, and then misspelled my name over that for the rejection letter. So if you want to talk about feeling like I wasn't even worthy of a reprint of a piece of paper to get my rejection it was was pretty horrific. (Leslye: Oh my God) But that was the first moment of like, you know, I've done everything according to what I was told to do. And now I'm in a place where the the future that I was promised isn't available to me, at least on in the timeline that I wanted it. So now what and what would this look like? So I did what any rational 20 something would do. I bought a plane ticket to Nicaragua. I started a travel blog and went to a surf retreat with a bunch of other really powerful females to figure out my life.Lesley Logan 16:16No, I free I love when a perfectionist like like, what is it like goes off the deep end. They're like, I'm going to Nicaragua, they go to Costa Rica, they go somewhere.Hilary Billings 16:27Go on this journey. Everything I thought I knew was wrong. So let's just go the other way and just swing the pendulum completely in the opposite direction. Yeah, certainly that moment. That was the first time that I started to consider what did I want my life to look like versus what should it look like? Which I think for our generation, I think now, especially for younger generation, that's a lot easier. We're more empowering about build the lifestyle that you want to have, and then find the career that fits within that. And I don't feel like 10 years ago, that was an option.Lesley Logan 16:59No, no, hello, I'm an elder millennial. And I can tell you like I did it all right too and I was like, and then I was, you know, going to college with 911. And then I graduated right before. So i i The perfectionist rebellion is definitely something I think millennials and Gen Xers are like very clear, because like I did what you said. Yeah, it bit me in the behind. (Hilary: Yeah). Yeah!Hilary Billings 17:23Absolutely. Well, especially, I mean, I feel like every teen movie, every show is always about like go to college, every adult that we talk to is like, you must go to college, you must do it this way. And then you'll make a lot of money and be happy. And it's like, okay, great. I will I'll do this path, just like you said. And it was very interesting to see, as I started blogging about this, like journey of finding myself and feeling at the time, like I was just really journaling the downfall of my life and like this is the unraveling of the Hillary. So here you go, and away from my friends and family to keep in touch with me while I was traveling. And then to get the response back from people all over the world who we're dealing with a very similar mindset. And so I ended up building a readership in over 100 countries didn't know what to do with it at the time, didn't know how to monetize it. But it was very powerful for that to be a connection point where people wanted to have that conversation and, and to recognize that we were all dealing with it in our own little spheres in our microcosms and could finally have a way to connect about it.Lesley Logan 18:24Yeah, I am. I think like I think what's really cool is you just kind of like I'm just going to try something and I'm not going to have the plan to follow which is a little it's just like very hard for (Hilary: terrifying) it's terrifying for perfectionists but like you were correct like I don't think people understand that time is very specific. You all there were lawyers were going out of college who could not get a an internship like unpaid internship because four and five year attorneys were like I'll take that job because I just I and so they're getting these like experienced attorneys for cheaper than a college graduate. So it was just a really hard time and so I think when those things happen for you clearly it puts you it took you out of like I'm just gonna follow the next step and the next step and it made you go from a paint by number life to something that you are actually painting from scratch and so I think that's just really really cool. From so as you as you got into this travel blogging thing and then you went on to this next thing what what was your Northstar? Was it like, what feels good? What was like, how are you picking what to do next? Were you journaling about it? Were you talking to people that you have a coach or therapy what was going on?Hilary Billings 19:40Yeah, it was it was a lot of allowing the universe to show me while me trying to hold on to some resemblance of control, which was not working out very well for me if I'm being honest, like, you know, the the travel blogging aspect can seem so fantastical and what a movie like experience and there were so many of those moments. A majority of the time I was terrified. A lot of the time I was crying, there was a lot of having to work through these emotional blocks. I think the biggest thing that I learned through that process that I hadn't previously really embraced was that I am fully capable of making my own decisions, even just and that's the beautiful thing about travel, right? Especially when you go to places where you don't speak the language, you don't know where you're going. This was a time this was pre international phone plan. So like, could not Google did not have Google on my phone, where I was going. And, and I was very much alone. Like I, in order for me to feel connection, I was just journaling things I wanted to tell people later, because I didn't want to spend the money to try to text them. It was still like $1 text message or something back then, which is why... so ...Lesley Logan 20:49It's okay, everyone listening to this nose. And if we have anyone who's like, what, like, they it's like three people and Hello. Yeah ...Hilary Billings 20:57(Lesley: Thank you. I was really hard back then). Okay, so no, we can ... And that was a whole thing and a way to call people till after nine o'clock. Oh!Lesley Logan 21:07I had, I was in Brazil alone. And I could only use my phone and computer at the hotel like you couldn't even, restaurants did not have WiFi for me to use. So I would like map it out. I would like know all of the things I'm going to do for the whole day. And then no one would know where I was or who I was with until I got back to the hotel rooms.Hilary Billings 21:29Yeah. Yeah. And you're just helping ... make it back. And...Lesley Logan 21:34Yeah, yeah, that's pretty much it. I mean, I believed that I was gonna be okay. But like, you know, it's kind of funny looking back. It's like, wow, like now when I'm in Cambodia. I've gone to so many places in my village that my Wi Fi just pings on as I'm going to tuck tuck. I'm like, Oh, I have Wi Fi I can like check in with this person.Hilary Billings 21:55The privilege that we have now that we didn't have back then. But you know, I think there was something really special about that time, because it really forced you to have to sit like I wake up in the morning, wherever I was, and be like, Okay, today we're in Fiji, I need to get breakfast. What do you want for breakfast? Well, where are we going to go to get that breakfast, and just learning those micro steps of confidence of like, hey, look, you got breakfast for yourself, and you didn't know where you were like, good job on you. Goldstar. It really helped to build my confidence that I could make decisions for my life that would allow me to not only be safe, but to thrive. And I think it's really important. And that was that became my MO for a majority of my 20s was when I was feeling unstable when I was feeling like the drama of the situation around nearby come back to the states and I was working some, you know, low paying job, doing God knows what and retail that I could always just go away and remove myself from that situation and find a way to make the uncomfortable comfortable as a way to find that self growth. And that that kind of became my my default. Because I didn't know another way of doing that. That would keep me at one point.Lesley Logan 23:02You know, that thank you for saying that. I think that is something so key that right now, every listener everybody can actually be doing. I think we're because so much of what happens to us is outside of our control, and we're not actually honoring or celebrating what we did that was inside of our control. We're just like so focused on like, what we weren't able to control, we should have been able to control that. And so I love that you're like okay, I got like, I didn't have breakfast and dinners, no breakfast and I got breakfast and I'm having breakfast right now. And I think like to the perfectionist listening to this, she'd be like, of course she got breakfast. It's like no, no, that is actually worth celebrating. If you did not know the next three steps and your day and you somehow found a way to make them you have to give yourself a pat on the back. Otherwise you're gonna have a lot more tears like you brought up tear there was a lot of tears. Yeah, cuz you're trying to become someone new, you're trying to do something you didn't have a muscle for. It's just like going to the gym, you're gonna soreness is going to happen when you're training in a muscle group you have never trained before, it's the same thing for anything you're doing in life. So I love that you shared that because I hope people I hope if you're listening, it's like, what can you just literally look back at your day and go, Oh, I just did that. Like I literally just did that she just set? Well that's a huge thing. A lot of people looking for confidence doesn't come from like, you've been deemed it comes from these little action steps. So I love that.Hilary Billings 24:19Yeah, I think that we forget that. On a very basic level, we are still animals. And so we're constantly dealing with what a natural evolution has given us, which is the anxiety of finding safety and of being able to feel competent, that we can take care of ourselves, especially when we're trying something new. Or we're in a situation that feels threatening for some reason. And that could be it feels threatening to because it's it's new and different or because there's something that's a piece of danger and our brain doesn't know the difference. It's funny, you know training, I'm an equestrian I write 100 jumper and my horse is very intelligent, but that also means she has a lot more anxiety than a lot of the horses because she is running the permutations as to what around her is potentially going to be a threat. And there is a particular corner of the arena that she has decided is this spooky, scary corner. And so we've been spending a lot of time with her up there, just giving her pats like when she walks through the corner and doesn't freak out or try to bolt away, she gets pats and she gets reinforcement, or she gets a cookie. And it seems like if we were to do that to a person, it would seem stupid. But at the same time, it's like you're learning to calm that animalistic side of your brain that says that there is something to be afraid of here. And the more that we can reinforce that we have ourselves in these moments, the more data points we're putting on the board, that we can help ourselves for future situations when we're looking down the line. I mean, the more that I look at how I've been able to build my confidence brick by brick, it mostly has to do with being able to reference these previous moments of my life and being like, Okay, well, this thing feels really scary right now. But I previously tamed lions, so I'm pretty sure I can get over this thing right now. Or this, this moment of my career seems very vulnerable and scary right now. But I previously was rejected from every program that I thought was my future and was able to build something that was really successful and exciting. So clearly, whatever comes next is going to be okay.Lesley Logan 26:18That is, okay, everyone can rewind that. Because they, it just goes back to and that's why being a perfectionist, an overachiever can really hold us back, it can definitely be a superpower. And a lot of ways, especially when you're younger, or you're trying to overcome some things. But if you but if you only live in that zone, you're not giving yourself credit for anything you did, really, because if it wasn't perfect, it wasn't good enough. So you're not even like celebrating. It's that Yeah, but so and so help me it's like, okay, so they helped you. And you did it. Right. So I love I love like...Hilary Billings 26:53You know, we don't do anything alone. Like regardless of even if you're going to the grocery store to buy your groceries, there was a farmer that had to make that food and then it was put on a truck and a driver brought it to the store and someone had to put it on a shelf, and then someone had to check you out. Like, there is nothing that we do in this life that we do in solidarity against anyone else. So I think we need to remove this concept or this allowing that that is something that should be praised, because it's not realistic, and it doesn't exist. So we all need help. And I think that that can be one of the bravest things that you do is to know when to ask for help and how to get it.Lesley Logan 27:30Yeah, no one to ask. And then also, maybe it's like, I mean, there's there's a reason why there's five minute journals, or it's gratitude journals, there's like, there's people saying you should like write three things down. You're just taking a moment. I remember when I was going through my tiny habits training with BJ Fogg, you know, his sister said at the end of the day, write down a story that happened that day, because you're going to use it to help people create habits because story is what helps people understand these things. And you told some great stories help us understand how you got to where you are. But this is so important, y'all. If you don't recognize the things that you did do, you actually cannot in the moments of like, oh my gosh, how am I gonna get through this, you're not gonna have anything to fall back on to go, Oh, I've done this before. Actually, like, I remember I was walking down this. It's not even an alley. It's a street. But like, I think people in America would call it an alley. And it was, it was it was like 830 at night. But you know, I'm in Cambodia. So it's, you know, dark, pitch black, and I'm walking, and I had just walked that street in the daylight. But for whatever reason, it's dark. I'm by myself, and I'm starting to, like, have fear. And you're right, you said it, like the brain doesn't know a new experience from like, a dangerous experience. And I started to like, pick up my pace. And then I heard like, crap, and I almost wanted to run but I'm in sandals. So that's not going to happen. And I was just like, we actually walked up this without any issues two hours ago. And I bet if we just walked calmly, we would get to the other side of the street and there nothing and it was like nothing was happening. I was in zero danger. But our brain can tell us a story and if we don't have something reference back to like, help us stay present. Then we're gonna miss out on all the potential opportunities that there are and then to go back to I just want to highlight because it makes me think of when I was a kid, you'd put up like we we do everything is with somebody is also self like it just is. Do you remember the movie? My cousin Vinnie? I don't know if anyone Okay, so my mom loved this movie. Loved it. Hi, mom. She's watching this on YouTube. So she loves this movie. And she and at the end of this movie, Joe Pesci is like so it was he was like, I just want to deal with my first case by myself and she's like, Oh my gosh, what if you went all of your cases all the time, but at the end you have to look at someone go thank you. And then she goes, What a fucking nightmare. Oh my god, that's so terrible. And it's just so funny because that's what we as professionals overachievers, do we like reject help? We don't even like look up to see what It is around us, I could actually help us get to that moment because we're like, if I don't do it alone that I didn't do it.Hilary Billings 30:06Yeah. And it's like, when did we create that was the rule. And by the way, I knowing that if we can all objectively agree that that rule isn't achievable, that we actually can't get there. Because everything that we have in this life is built upon the backs of others in our community, then we're just setting ourselves up to lose the game. So why don't we make rules that we can actually win off of? Wouldn't that be nice?Lesley Logan 30:32Wouldn't that be nice? When that be nice? Okay, so I want to talk because you have, I mean, you're the cat with nine lives you'd like I don't wanna say reinvented or recreated because you're the, you're taking your amazing self into another situation. So can you tell us because now you're doing something new, that that is very needed in this world. And also, like, it wasn't anything you went to college for, And were trained, like, follow these things. So like, what are you doing now? And how, like, what what are you having to overcome to like, kind of, Be It Till You See it in this moment?Hilary Billings 31:02Yeah, so a few years ago, I was presented the opportunity to have my own monetize Facebook page. At the time, I was making these comedic monologue videos and just having a ton of fun making them and they were starting to pick up some traction. So an acquaintance that I knew was a publisher that was working with Facebook to get these monetized pages. So my partner and I decided to take one on and be like, this would be great. I have a background I wrote for USA Today, I've been a celebrity interviewer I've done all of these videos have put together all this content, I know how to make a really great headline. He's a former billboard charting artist and musician and tech entrepreneur. So we can certainly make amazing content that people are going to want to watch. And we started that that Facebook watch channel and we bombed, it was bad. We couldn't we couldn't make anything work. And it was so frustrating. I want to say for like six to nine months, we were like nose to the grindstone, just hitting our heads against the wall, not understanding why our content wasn't converting. And we were seeing all these creators around us having so much success, and it was so frustrating. And we're like, we're so smart. We're so dedicated. What are we doing wrong? And we hit this point of, we either have to find a new way of doing this or we have to let it go and try something else. So what are we going to do? So we sat down, and we must have watched hundreds if not 1000s of viral videos, and we created a spreadsheet in true perfectionist fashion. As to okay, what's what's happening in this video? What second one was happening a second three? What's the opening image? How many people are in this video? How long is this video? What's the theme of this video? Is there music? Is there captions? Is there subtitles? And as we started just putting in all this data, removing the emotion of you know, we're not good enough, or we're not doing this right, and really starting to take this experimental scientific research approach of what are these videos all have in common? We started to see some themes. So we took that knowledge into our next video, and that next video did 5 million views. And then the video after that to 10 million views. And it's not to say that we kept this incremental pace where everything kept outpacing each other but and not every video that we did from then on out was a banger. But, you know, over the course of the next two years, we did over a billion organic views, I was able to organically grow my Tik Tok from zero to 400,000 followers in 40 days. And we realized that we had created a methodology and the science of how to leverage morality and really leverage the psychology the tension to make great content that people wanted to watch and engage in. And that would allow us to really shoot outside of our our followership, you know, a lot of times on social media, you're reaching one to 6% of the number of people that follow you. And that's what when brands are looking to partner with influencers. That's what they're looking at as those metrics. And we had minimal followers in comparison, like maybe 10,000 to 100,000. And we were still able to get these, you know, five 10 million views, because of how we were constructing the content. And the content itself wasn't something that either one of us was really passionate about. It was a lot of very viral content, so pranks and gifting videos, and DIY and five minute crafts. But as we were looking at, you know, we knew this knowledge was special, we knew that everything that we've learned and how we were able to implement it was really powerful. And where could we find a way to add the value and be of service that we wanted to be? And it became very clear with my background and brand strategy and his background and serving different corporations and brands, that we would help other people, other entrepreneurs that were mission driven messengers to get their messages to the target audiences that they wanted to reach. And it's such a it's such a challenge right now. Right short form video is the golden standard. Everyone is trying and racing so hard to put up content, that a lot of it that there's just massive quantity. 20 million videos are going up a day. And a lot of it sucks. (Lesley: Yeah). And so it's like how do we create quality content that people want to watch? That's intentional. That doesn't make business owners and companies and entrepreneurs feel like they're in this constant hamster wheel spinning cycle of having to make a bunch of content to just to keep up with the Joneses. And that's where we put our focus. So I, it's, I think what I've learned through this process is that everything's an iteration on an iteration. And how do you take the skills that you previously have an add them to this next phase of your life, for the longest time, I really struggled with my career, my title being the thing that drove my worth, and to this day, that is still something that I have to battle consistently. But the more that I find myself being able to say, I'm able to be of service to people, and I'm learning, and I don't know if this is going to be something that we're doing 10 years from now, but I know that this business, and the way that we're helping people right now, and all of the energy that I'm putting into this is going to grow me it's going to grow others, and we're all going to continue to, to have this evolutionary journey and grow on our path. So it's really exciting to see some of the results, we've been able to get people, you know, millions of impressions across social media channels, we had a client that won a shorty Impact Award for some... (Lesley: WHat?!) Yeah, for some of their content. You know, we've had clients 240x their results. And, and being able to do it in a way that while it leverages the psychology of attention, it also really helps people stay true and authentic to their brand, and not feel like they have to dance or follow trends or constantly be researching. You know, it's a, it's a new way of looking at how you make content, which is always hard for people when they're so used to just seeing these particular celebrities or gurus that they follow, doing things that are working for them. And not recognizing that there was a long road to get there. So trying to ease that, that journey for both the brand and for the user. It's been really, really fantastic.Lesley Logan 37:11First of all, I think that it's incredible what you guys were able to do I love I want to highlight like, you guys took it being personal out to like actually observe and like you said, it's like a science experiment or whatever. And it's, it's true, I think, you know, no matter what you're trying to do, you're like, the more you make it personal about you, the harder it is, the more you can go. It's actually it's not about me at all. You know, like, I remember when we Brad made me get on YouTube, I think we're eight years now. And I like I don't think we went through a filming where I didn't cry. Like, I don't think there was a single filming where at some point, I didn't cry, put some cold water on my face and try again. And it wasn't until I realized that those videos were not about me, they were absolutely about the people watching them that we actually started getting traction they've been you know, and the channel is done really well for the niche that it is. It's kind of crazy. You know, and but I love that you guys, you're like, Okay, it's not, we're gonna stop thinking about us, we're actually just gonna, like, look at what is working. And like, see how we can recreate it. And then instead of recreating it, so that could just be about you guys winning, you guys were like, How can I have we actually make this help people who actually want to change the world in different ways? And I still resonate with like, what am I calling myself? What is my title and also, like, have wanting to have that certainty? I think everyone listening like, of course, will have certainty that like, this is gonna be the thing that I do for the rest of my life. And I think the reality is, is that as long as you're a curious person, that thing is going to change all the time. And I don't know, gone are the days that like, you know, my grandfather after like after the base, like professional baseball and military, he was working for Coca Cola for the whole his whole life. Yeah, for some people, that is an option out there. But for a lot of us, especially creatives. And if you're listening this Hello, you are one that is really not the that's not it.Hilary Billings 39:08It's wild to think about that I'm working in an industry that literally did not exist when I was going to college, right? Like TikTok was not a thing. We're now on TikToks advisory board. We have a great partnership with them. These, these weren't even platforms, Instagram was just barely coming out of the womb at this time. So, you know, I think the more that we can stay open to the fact that there were so many technological advances and things that are happening again, outside of our control, that are adding to this human experience that we don't even know really in five to 10 years, what problems people are going to be having that we can solve that the knowledge that we're gathering right now can help people solve. So yes, I think it's so important to be able to stay open to that, to not hold the content so precious and so near and dear to us, which is such a hard thing to do as a perfectionist as somebody that is afraid of, when I used to make these comedic monologue videos, they would take days because even though I was making a three minute video, I would spend so much time looking at the words that I was writing on the page to see what issue someone might take with something that I was saying, like what was going to be the attack on me? Was I prepared to defend this line? That was supposed to just be some sort of comedic monologue funny skit.Lesley Logan 40:26And I'm sure I'm sure even with all of that three day span, you still had someone who was pissed about the word that you say.Hilary Billings 40:31Oh, yeah, that wouldn't even watch the video, right? I did a video. I'm like, why having a girlfriend like having a cat, right? And like, we do our own thing. Don't tell us to wash our hair, you know, just like silly things like that. And of course, people are like, Oh, you're anti feminist. So I do want to like why having a boyfriend is like having a dog. And then of course, it's like, how dare you? Yeah, yeah, it's just, you know, you can't win. And that's the truth.Lesley Logan 40:56You're, well, I mean, like, I, you're not, not everyone's gonna like you. And by the way, you don't like everybody, like you don't. So, so I hold yourself to a standard you won't hold anyone else do. Anyways. Oh, my gosh, we could keep going. Obviously, you're gonna come back. We're gonna have you in person. Maybe we'll have you like, come do some recaps of Brad's ... Yeah, let's do it. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break before we let you go, obviously, to find where people can find you, follow you work with you, and your Be It action items. All right, Hillary, where do you like to hang out? Obviously, TikTok is where you go. But where can people connect with you, if they're like, oh my gosh, this is the girl who can tell me do the thing that I want to do.Hilary Billings 41:35If you're interested in learning more about how you can leverage the psychology of attention for your short form videos, that's Instagram rails, YouTube shorts, Facebook rails, Tik Tok, or beyond or even just finding a better way of getting your message out there, you can find us at attentioneers.com. That's attention e e r s .com. You can book a free call with myself or my co founder. And we'd be happy to see how we can help you move forward and all of your dreams and aspirations of being a mission driven messenger that grows your reach.Lesley Logan 42:04I love it. Okay, before I let you go, you've given us so many great tips. But for the people who skipped at the end, TLDR, executable, intrinsic, targeted steps they can take to Be It Till You See It.Hilary Billings 42:17So I have found, obviously travel to get uncomfortable and find a way to make that comfortable with a mechanism that I use a lot in my 20s As I've been in my 30s. Now, it's much harder to be able to pick up and go and find that time. And so I've had to learn to utilize different tools in order to find the expansion and the growth that I've wanted to, and to feel more deserving in my day to day life. And to really hone in on that competence. I follow a woman named Lacey Phillips, she's fantastic, she runs to be magnetic. And there's three components that she talks about when it comes to manifesting the life that you want. And it all comes down to creating and really feeling deserving. The universe wants to give you what, what you want to have, but you have to actually feel deserving and worthy of receiving it. So in order to get to the levels of that you want to be at, you need to be expanding. So a lot of the times we don't see to believe that something that we want is actually possible. So I might say that I want a million dollar year. But if I don't know anybody, or any other entrepreneur that's come from my situation with my background, that's made a million dollars in a year. Even though that's something that I want, like intrinsically, I don't unconsciously believe that that can happen for me. So going out, and really finding and putting it out to the universe, that whatever it is that you're trying to call in, that you want examples, you want to be able to see to believe that those things are possible. So we want to find expanders, we've got to unblock what standing in our way. Because a lot of the times, it's our own limiting beliefs. And again, we can want to be calling in something like I want a million dollars a year. But if I have this belief that that's going to take me running myself into the ground in order to make that happen, or I have to completely forego every other aspect of my life in order to have that type of success. I'm going to hold myself back. So really understanding what it is that standing in my way and what fears that I have to help keep me safe and secure in my little bubble. What is it that I need to unblock that I need to go in and reprogram for myself and the last piece is taking aligned action what is it that I actually should be doing that's me standing in my work to say yes, this is what I believe this is how much I believe I belong here. And I am going to make decisions not about wanting validation from somebody else or that comment or or you know what I'm afraid someone's going to say about me but knowing that my voice matters and taking the actions that align with that but we need all three components in order to expand unblock and take the aligned action to manifest and call what we want and that will help us to be the worthy person that the universe wants us to be.Lesley Logan 44:57Who I have chills Like, I love that you brought this up because I've been on a, like, manifestation kick for my own self because I'm like, you know, I think I haven't been very specific. And like I've been, I've been very I've been, I've thought it was clear, but I'm like, you know, I probably could have been more specific like the color of the car like the things you know, like all the things you know. So, thank you for bringing this up. I'm going to use these y'all. How are you going to use these tips in your life? Let us know tag Hillary, tag to Be It pod. Hillary, thank you so much. I am so freaking grateful that everyone is conspiring to make sure that we connect and we are friends and now that I am in Vegas for quite some time we are absolutely going to hang out. We're not the wind blows to a destination.Hilary Billings 45:41Oh Mary Poppins umbrellas ready to go.Lesley Logan 45:44No, you guys have no idea how windy Vegas is people think it's just hot and desert and the gusts can be like 70 miles an hour. So at any rate, if you did put an umbrella out there, you might not know where you're gonna land. But Hillary, I'm just so grateful for you. Thank you all for listening. This is so fun.
