I hope you had a great weekend.
If we’re connected on social media, you may have seen me out with some of the Team, dressed up as a cowboy, on the voddie and shots and getting down to Timber feat Pitbull, lol.
I believe building a community plays a massive role in helping women enjoy the process of achieving their goals which = more consistency which = better success and results.
I also love to get out now and again haha.
Anyway,
Today, I just wanted to share some EXCITING news with you and hope that it helps motivate or inspire you some way.
🙂 Lee Donald Personal Training is officially 14 years old today!!
Woop Woop – I feel some champers coming on!!
Just kidding, a piece of cake, sweaty celebrations with my fitness class members and cup of tea will do.
If you perhaps don’t know my story, 14 years ago today, I trained my very 1st client.
➡ No money, no equipment, no premises.
I began operating from my Mum’s lounge and travelling to people’s houses.
When I started my business in 2011, I was also on the cusp of trying to overcome a 15 year eating disorder, stopping smoking, coming off meds and building a healthier relationship with alcohol.
Looking back, it’s crazy to think how it all started.
Fast forward to today.
A private fitness cabin, x30 business awards, trademarked fitness classes, launching other services, collaborating with local businesses, branded clothing, delivering talks, attending numerous events, surviving a global pandemic.
Add a 6 year old, 9 year old, diagnosis with Broncho Constriction and injuries to the mix.
️ Alongside summitting the highest mountain in the world and yeah…
Safe to say, it’s definitely been ‘action packed’ and tested me in every way mentally, physically and professionally!!
Despite the tough times….overcoming all the obstacles, setbacks and failure has enabled me to learn, grow, build strength and resilience.
It’s also been and incredibly rewarding journey.
✅ According to stats, 65% of businesses fail during their first 10 years.
✅ Only 25% make it to 15%+ years.
It’s amazing how much you can achieve when you believe in yourself, are willing to put in the work and are passionate and what you do ❤️
Whether you’ve allowed me to be part of your journey for years or whether we’ve only just ‘connected’, I just wanted to say a massive thank you!!
Here’s to many more years to come and hitting that 15 year mark
Lee ‘feeling grateful’ Donald x
