Set yourself on fire and people will come from miles to watch you burn.
I’m not sure where I first heard that quote, but I believe it’s what’s going on at CrossFit Bartlett right now. CFB has caught fire, and we are hitting our stride. We’ve seen amazing growth in the past couple of months and are poised to grow even more. We haven’t reached the most members we’ve ever had yet, but we are getting close which is amazing.
I want to take a second to speak on how grateful I am that this is occurring….
You see, we started this business to help people. We at CFB know what’s it’s like to be miserable with where you’re at. We know what it’s like to be searching for the answers to our health questions.
We have those answers. We have systems in place that get people results, and it’s our gift that we’ve been given that we want to share with the world to help you become the person that we know you could be. We have lived it, we’ve talked the talk, and walked the walk, and now we are delivering on the promise of results.
When I set my mission years ago, it was to help 1,000,000 people achieve their goals. It is my belief that when people achieve their fitness and health goals, they feel better about themselves, they live a better life, they treat others better, they are more successful, they love more, and they make the world better. Therefore, by us delivering on our mission we can make a dent in the world and have a positive impact on the world. I truly believe that we can make the world a better place by one fit person at a time.
So as we grow, we are getting closer and closer to our mission. We are reaching and changing more lives.
Here’s an excerpt from an email I received this week:
‘Nine months ago, I was sitting on my couch stuffing my face with anything and everything in sight. It was all because of a phone call, and a stranger who refused to give up on me that my life took a drastic change for good. From size 20 to 10, 225 lbs to 160 lbs, being out of breath at every step, to accomplishing most every day tasks effortlessly, I have CrossFit Bartlett to thank. A healthy lifestyle has now become my way of life.’
When I read this I got a little emotional because this is what I was put on this Earth to do. These types of stories are what we live for, and I’m getting emails like this weekly. Emails from people who would’ve never set their foot inside a CrossFit gym, or a regular gym. Our program has become a safe haven for people who are ready to make life change happen, and that is what lights my fire every day, and keeps me going.
That being said, with growth always comes concerns. This is nothing we haven’t handled in the past. I know that some of our more senior members always worry when we bring on large classes of new people. I want to assure you, that we have processes in place to help handle the growth.
*We are in the process of hiring a full time administrator who can help us handle the onslaught of office work.
*We are developing interns into full fledged amazing coaches to make sure that our coaching services only improve.
*We are progressing in our programming to deliver exceptional results.
*We are working on our on-boarding process to make the transition as smooth as possible for new members.
*We are tweaking our class operations in order to ensure an always amazing and progressive experience.
*We are continuing our growth and development in order to handle and provide exceptional service from the coaching, to the class execution, to the business as a whole.
It’s our mission always….
To reach as many people as possible in order to help them achieve their goals.
and
To provide exceptional service through every aspect of our programs to keep you progressing towards your goals.
Thank you so much for being a part of our program, and get excited because I see nothing but amazing things happening at CFB as we go forward!
