Today is Friday the 13th! And while it might be an unlucky day full of mishaps, doom & gloom for others, it is my LUCKIEST and most favourite day of the year 😉
People often ask me where our business name “Lucky13” came from, and it comes from my love of the number 13 since I was a little kid…. In 1st grade actually.
I was last to choose my jersey number for soccer and the only one left was 13.
I knew it was unlucky- clearly it had been picked over by every other kid on the team.
Nobody wanted it.
But I didn’t have a choice, so I took it.
That year, I fell in love with the sport and decided that 13 MUST be my lucky number.
I took something that was unlucky to everyone else and made it just the opposite for myself.
I chose it every single time ever since.
Fast forward a bunch of years to 2012… I was 31 years old.
When I decided to finally “jump ship” from my job as a full-time personal trainer in a big box gym with a whole roster of clients, to start all over again and build my own business from scratch… I realized I, once again, needed to take something that could generally be perceived as “unlucky” or “undesirable” and turn it into the best thing ever.
Most of my friends were getting promoted in their jobs, reaching mid to upper level management…. Getting promoted and climbing their way right up the career ladder.
I was going in the opposite direction- giving up all the security of a full client roster and working for an already established business.
I named my business Lucky13 to be a constant reminder that just because something isn’t popular or doesn’t mesh with most people, doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t work for me.
In other words, I must always follow my own internal compass to create my own happiness.
This is a lesson that I try hard every day to embody and share with our fitness community.
🍀Just because something is popular, doesn’t mean it’s right for you…& just because something is right for you, doesn’t mean it will be popular.🍀
Work hard to follow your internal compass & have the courage to do what will make you feel your best... despite what others may say.
😉😉😉Have a LUCKY Day!😉😉😉
