Lynda Lippin, CEO Lynda Lippin Pilates, LLC, Founder of Pilates Teacher Mastermind® and Strong Bones Pilates shares her inspirational and authentic story of what it takes to be pandemic proof well how to pivot through it all really! Lean in to her own words below:
Ican remember my first Pilates Class at Purchase College. I was the VP of Finance for Student Government, and in 1987 we were funding the studio. Luckily, this made prices cheap for students, because I was addicted!
My body felt better And I loved the apparatus and attention to detail Pilates got me through my junior and senior years, and I kept up my mat practice when I moved to Philadelphia in 1988 to get my Ph.D. in Philosophy.
Lesson #1 - Be open to what the universe has to offer, even if it’s not quite what you planned.
In 1989, I was reading the City Paper, and an ad popped out at me, “Exercise Instructors Wanted Pilates background preferred ”
“Hmmm,” I thought, “that could be a fun part time gig ”
And it was! I was the only person to apply who knew Pilates and had worked on the apparatus. I quickly taught myself more about anatomy and various injury rehab protocols, learning as I went. I was paid $6/hour, but didn’t care, because I learned so much
Lesson #2 - I can do hard things, during hard times.
While I was still in graduate school, I had a client approach me about opening a Pilates Studio in the wealthy suburbs of Philadelphia. He had very bad back pain, and was traveling back and forth to Australia for work. After a few months his back was great, and he knew that people would want to do this work and we could sell this.
The biggest issue then was educating people about what Pilates was Nobody outside of NY and LA had really heard of it I did so much outreach to physicians, PTs, chiropractors, spa owners, and massage therapists!
Of course, this wasn’t helped by the Pilates trademark lawsuit (Pilates is now a generic term), so all of our marketing sounded a bit cagy - “exercises based on the work of Joseph Pilates.” But we did good work, clients felt better, and they started to refer people over.
I DID SO MUCH OUTREACH TO PHYSICIANS, PTS, CHIROPRACTORS, SPA OWNERS, AND MASSAGE THERAPISTS!
After Decades of Pilates Pivoting, the Pandemic Pivot was Easy! How I learned to say Yes, go with the flow, identify market gaps, be creative, and stay resilient.
“HMMM,” I THOUGHT, “THAT COULD BE A FUN PART TIME GIG.”

In 2005, I had an opportunity to teach a Pilates Teacher training in Turks and Caicos, and while we were there my husband and I both received job offers I had gotten to a point where I hated running my studios, had gone through a personal bankruptcy, and really needed a change We said yes, and within 10 weeks we had sold everything and moved to the Caribbean!
In 2007, I was having a tire changed when I received a phone call from the spa manager at Parrot Cay, an A-list private island resort I had already been in touch with them when I moved, and they asked if I could come over and cover for their Pilates Teacher while he was away on annual leave I, once again, said yes!
I took that boat twice a day, 6 days per week for 6 weeks, and in the end I received a job offer. In hotels like this, when they really want one person they find a position for your spouse, and hubby and I moved over in September 2007.
I trained several staff members, including our yoga teacher, so I had replacements if I was sick or away, and added new programming into the spa class schedule This is also when I started to record Pilates audios for clients to travel with, and teach online using FaceTime or Skype
- You can go home gain
ere very old and starting to get cided to return to the US With my Classical Pilates Teacher, and maintained with other teachers was invited to join the team at Tribeca as a Master Teacher. de with that awesome team, while ng my online clients and some f h di
This was the best lesson of all! I started teaching all of my Pilates clients online in March of 2020, and they all did well with mat. Then I started to add in small, inexpensive tools to mimic the studio apparatus
Tubing with handles mimic springs Foam rollers mimic Pilates spine correctors Add some weights and a Magic Circle, and you have yourself a pretty complete home studio
I’m able to be super creative, while keeping everyone safe, and my clients are all continuing to see results - they are all feeling and functioning better than ever!
Lesson #1 - Be open to what the universe has to offer, even if it’s not quite what you planned.
Lesson #2 - I can do hard things, during hard times.
Lesson #3 - It’s OK to start again
Lesson #4 - Listen when opportunity knocks, even when it’s a huge change
Lesson #5 - Everyone just wants to feel & function better, even the A-list
Lesson #6 - You can go home gain
Lesson #7 - Pilates doesn’t require a studio
For over 33 years, Lynda Lippin’s clients (including Donna Karan, Laurie Anderson, and Joe Walsh) have trusted her to help them get stronger and function better, with less pain In fact, former Financial Times travel editor Rahul Jacob says that Lynda’s the best Pilates teacher and personal trainer he's ever worked with.
Lynda was a founding member of PMI, and has been a PMI certified Instructor for 30 years.
Currently, she owns Lynda Lippin Pilates, LLC, where she helps women over 50 with osteoporosis increase their bone density, and eliminate chronic pain through her online Strong Bones program, classes, and private sessions. She also serves Pilates Teachers through the Pilates Teacher Mastermind®, a one-year business accelerator and continuing education program
At this moment in time, you can really do what you want in your Pilates business, or any business. I chose to not go back into the studio. That’s right - I’m fully online! My clients want to be safe, in less pain, stronger, and more mobile I’m able to create completely custom designed workouts for them online. My clients have never had a problem paying a higher price point to work with me. In fact, I would say that online is even better, since it makes Pilates more easily accessible to busy people who need it. My advice to all entrepreneurs is that you embrace change, embrace creativity, and look for the simplest and most effective ways to connect with and serve the most number of clients possible. Make mistakes and learn from them. It worked for me!

There will be many Elite Business readers who want more publicity to build credibility and generate leads for their business but lack the budget for a PR campaign.
There will be many Elite Business readers who want more publicity to build credibility and generate leads for their business but lack the budget for a PR campaign
Business owners often discount the idea of trying to get in the press, believing their firm will not be of interest to the national media, whether that is newspapers, business magazines or broadcasters.
While caution is always wise when venturing into the unknown, in reality journalists are usually keen to hear from business owners doing interesting things. What they are not interested in is inconsequential matters such as new websites, minor charity activities and me-too ‘innovations’.
In fact, a quick glance through Elite Business together with the UK’s many other newspapers and trade publications, shows journalists interviewing and profiling SME businesses and start-ups with interesting views and stories.
Some SMEs will have press officers or PR agencies, but there is no law that says you must use one. Coverage can equally come through you simply emailing an idea to the journalist or picking up the phone. In fact, looking around a publications’ website and social media tells you who writes what sort of article, their phone number and contact details simples!
When seeking coverage you don’t need to overcomplicate things, there are just three simple steps to getting in the press and the first one we’ve just covered already - identify the right person at the right publication.
The second key step for success is to approach the journalist with something they will want to write about… attempting to persuade them to write about something you desperately want publicised, but they see as having no interest to their readers, will always be hard work!
What things do journalists like? Well many people look at publications and conclude they like company announcements (new joiners, for example), charity events and writing about company products… and then wonder why they get little coverage for theirs
In fact, aside from a few sectors like restaurants, savings products and cars, journalists rarely review products They get swamped with press releases announcing new appointments or the latest charity sponsorship and fundraiser, and only carry a fraction of these, if any.
Nor is “new business with no customers launches, offering untried software” a great story for journalists to write (or readers to read), yet many business tech start-ups effectively try to launch their products from just such a position.
T H A N K YOU!
Putting aside news that is so important they must be covered, journalists want stories that will inform and/or entertain their readers. Look carefully at the publications you want to be in and look for the sorts of stories they write, especially from businesses comparable to yours.
Examples of the sorts of opportunities for SME businesses are:
42% Share of countries with freedom of press
29%
adults trust news media in the world
There is a huge demand from business publications for advice to help readers. This article is a case in point. This is a major opportunity for businesses such as professional and consultancy firms. However, if you are knowledgeable about your market and customer needs, there is no reason why you can’t write advice articles too
The key is to give useful and impartial advice based on facts, experience and in clear English, not jargon, and without skewing things so it is all about why people should use you.
if you are fortunate to have a distinctive back-story to your business, that is important. Did you overcome an adversity, challenge conventions or maybe blaze a risky and unproven trail. Here’s a recent example on Elite Business However, it doesn’t have to be a personal challenge, it could have been a business challenge such as overcoming not being able to get funding or a major setback
There is no shortage of business owners who want to speak about how wonderful their services are and how smoothly they have overcome every challenge without a blip. There are surprisingly few who will talk about the business impact of economic, legal and other issues.
In fact, most run-to-the-hills at the prospect of something remotely contentious While not for the feint-hearted, pursing this tactic has ensured success and prominence for Charlie Mullins and his business, Pimlico Plumbers, through him being regularly in the media due to his willingness to talk about business and political issues and not just plumbing ones. His firm boasts on its website of being “the most high-profile plumbing company in the world” and says “Public Relations have been key to Pimlico's reputation and presence in London for decades. In a recent interview he is quoted as saying “I’d rather people be talking about me than the plumber up the road… what makes you an ordinary business is sitting on the fence. What makes you a different business, and quite often a better business, is putting your head above the parapet "
Have a cause you are passionate about. If you are passionate about your business that is great (quite frankly there’s a problem if you are not), but being passionate for a cause beyond that is going to dramatically increase your impact.
This could be what drove you to set up your business: for instance, starting a sustainability business because you wanted to protect the environment Or maybe it is a cause you have adopted, such as a local regeneration initiative or campaigning for a change in your industry
The third key step, after knowing the publication and creating a story or viewpoint they are likely to want, is to deal with them in the right way.
Dealing with journalists can be hard work. Part of this is they get so many emails they reply to few of them, and in fact often don’t open many of them. Part of this is that a significant minority get off on feeling important and enjoy being rude to people who call them this was equally true 25 years ago! All I can say if be thick-skinned, don’t sink to their level, and persevere. Nowadays each journalist must write lots of stories each day, so they often hide behind voicemail too.
So, the first rule is perseverance Even if they read your email, no response may mean they did not like it, and it could also equally mean they liked it but were to busy to action it and have since forgotten.
The second element is timing. The media is a “just in time” production process, and journalists aren’t there twiddling their thumbs. Contact them days earlier than you think you need too
No one lost coverage from starting too early, whereas it is commonplace for businesses to get no coverage through missing the boat This is particularly the case where something is time-sensitive, such as commenting on something topical, such as a new law or the Budget.
Get in early, keep trying and don’t give up after a couple of initial knockbacks Building a reputation is a long-term undertaking, but as with most things in business if you approach it with knowledge and passion, your energy will bring results in the end.

LONDON. NEW YORK. PARIS. ALL THESE ARE GREAT BUT HOME IS HERE...
The overseas property market is booming, and now is a better time than ever to invest in real estate. Offshore property stands out among investment options because it’s a hard asset that provides diversification of asset class and likely currency. If you’re looking for an opportunity to generate cash flow while building real, long-term wealth, this might be it.
Whether you’re contemplating a first purchase overseas or looking to expand current foreign property holdings, here’s where you should focus your attention and your capital this year.
1.
Panama is one of the best places to buy real estate overseas. We recommend Panama for two things specifically: rental apartments and agricultural opportunities.
Brazil is a big country made up of many different property markets, some more interesting than others. We recommend focusing on the Fortaleza area. This coastal region is a top destination among Brazilian tourists. Rentals targeting the local holiday market can earn better than 8% net yield reliably.
In the Dominican Republic, focus on the capital, Santo Domingo.
The Dominican Republic is enjoying continued strong growth, as well as increasing foreign direct investment. All those business travellers coming to get in on the country’s economic boom pass through Santo Domingo… and they all need places to sleep.
LONDON. NEW YORK. PARIS. ALL THESE ARE GREAT BUT HOME IS HERE...
We like Thailand for agriculture primarily but think this country deserves attention for its strong economy and expanding tourism industry, as well.
The downside of Thailand is that foreigners are restricted in how they can own property. Foreigners can only own land leasehold in Thailand. A foreigner can hold freehold title to the construction on the land, but, unless your house is portable, you might not take comfort in that.
We’ve been sold on Paris real estate for decades. Prices go up and down, as they do everywhere, but a piece of Parisian real estate is one of the surest imaginable stores of wealth long-term.
The strength of the U.S. dollar is creating euro bargains for American buyers another good reason to be looking right now at both Portugal and France.
Property markets in Portugal have been on the move since 2015. Some neighborhoods in Lisbon, for example, are now priced beyond what we believe makes sense for property investment… Other areas of this city continue to offer good value and opportunity, especially if you’re up for a renovation project.
LONDON. NEW YORK. PARIS. ALL THESE ARE GREAT BUT HOME IS HERE...
Tourism and resident expat markets on Belize’s Ambergris Caye are set to continue to expand through 2021 and beyond. This Caribbean island is a top choice for a rental investment, making Belize one of the best places to buy real estate overseas.
On the Belize mainland, Cayo is a top option. Here quality rental accommodation at a reasonable price is hard to come by. If you were to build a highquality rental, you could make a good yield by pricing your property competitively relative to the local hotels (that aren’t up to standard).
Mexico remains a top destination among Canadians and Americans for both tourism and retirement. Thanks to restricted travel and an expanding middle class, Mexico is enjoying good growth in the local tourism market in 2021.
All that combines to make Mexico a top choice for a property rental investment.
Top markets include Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific coast and Playa del Carmen on the Riviera Maya. In both of these popular tourist towns, a rental property can generate excellent yields.
Mexico offers financing options for non-residents, generally from U.S. lending institutions set up in Mexico specifically for that purpose.

Turkey is having a record-breaking year for property sales, up 107% compared to May of 2020 thanks, in large part, to foreign buyers. Foreign investment has increased in part due to Turkey’s successful CIP, but this accounts for only 20% of overall sales. Turkey is also seen as an attractive destination for lifestyle and investment opportunities. Half of this year’s property sales took place in the country’s most vibrant and historical city, Istanbul.
These thousands of students need somewhere to live, and so the demand for both student accommodation and vacation rentals in Krakow is high. You can purchase an apartment in the city center for less than US$100,000 and quickly profit from the high rental demand in this flourishing city.
Poland might not be the first place to spring to mind when considering an offershore property purchase… Yet this country may be Eastern Europe’s best kept secret. Poland’s tourism capital, Krakow, was enjoying a booming tourist industry prepandemic, with 10 million visitors annually. It’s waiting to see the return of its tourists soon. Krakow has 10 universities, resulting in a lively student population as well.

OUR STAPLE 2022 'HOW FAR WILL YOU GO' TAKES US TO PARIS. MEET LILLY COLLINS AS EMILY IN PARIS. SHE'S PERFECT - OR IS SHE REALLY?
Lily Jane Collins is a British-American actress and model. Born in Guildford, Surrey and raised in Los Angeles, Collins began performing on screen at the age of two in the BBC sitcom Growing Pains.
She's now the Netflix screen sweetheart as Emily In Paris. Emily, a driven 20-something American from Chicago who moves to Paris for an unexpected job opportunity. She is tasked with bringing an American point of view to a venerable French marketing firm.
Her character fights temptations, discrimination and biases to her 'Americanisms'. To her French counterparts; she is an obnoxious entitled American who thinks everything evolves around the good ol' USA and their oversized egos and zealousness to dominate the world.
While to her French teacher, she is a promising language student with a certain je ne sais quoiis being distracted from her true calling!
When it comes to her love life, she's got her knickers in a twist literally as she tries to untangle the love triangle between her former meilleur ami and client Camille (Camille Razat) and her beau Chef Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), while trying to reel from her one night stand with Camille's bother and now feeling indecently exposed to a fatal attraction to her classmate Alfie (Lucien Leon Laviscount) who is not helping matters by being buddies...Wait! 'mates' with Gabriel! That's how far Emily is willing to go to keep her job in Paris...but is there a hidden message we can salvage from this DramaComedy series? Publicity stunts perhaps?
Despite her infamous sex life and scandals, here are 4 things we can all learn from this fictitious topsy turvy 'Marketing Executive from Chicago'
Em never misses an opportunity to make every moment instagramable! Despite her busy schedule, challenges and ups and downs she makes sure to take a selfy for the client. You can do that for your brand!
The visibility Emily evokes is not always planned to perfection, and that's what makes it perfect for authenticity! She doesn't take pictures only to add corporate branding and captions. She shares it live and raw!
It takes practice to gain marketing expertise, but you ' re already an expert in what you do, trust your instincts as the expert, then the audience will trust you as their expert. Not the other way round!
Influence is earned and not guaranteed. In order to influence your audience you have to be willing to be vulnerable and own your mistakes. Em does this with client and wins their trust each time - well even when they risk their fingers!
