Welcome to the Level Up and Live Podcast, where your host, Sean Meyers, helps business owners design a life they won’t regret without sacrificing their health, relationships, or spirituality. In this episode, Sean sits down with Ariel Shacklovitz, the sales and finance manager at Revolution Power Sports, a wife, and a mother of five.

In this episode, Ariel shares her inspiring journey from being told "girls can't sell motorcycles" to becoming a top Harley-Davidson salesperson. Now, she's a leader at Revolution Power Sports, guiding a team of more than 10 people with a "watch me" attitude.

Discover how Ariel balances the demands of being a mom of five with her leadership role, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and making family a priority. She also reveals the crucial life lesson her kids have taught her: patience. You'll learn how this lesson has transformed her leadership style and helped her build a strong, unified team.

Ariel also pulls back the curtain on Revolution Power Sports' unique hiring process, which focuses on finding the right culture fit, not just a good resume. She explains why the company is a leader in its industry and how its core values drive everything from customer interactions to internal team dynamics.

This conversation is packed with wisdom for any business owner, emerging leader, or parent looking to find a better balance and build a life they truly love.

Key Takeaways:

Turn Criticism into Motivation: Ariel's journey began when a friend told her girls couldn't sell motorcycles. Instead of being discouraged, she took it as a personal challenge, proving her critics wrong and becoming a top salesperson. This highlights the power of using negative comments as fuel to achieve your goals.

Prioritize People Over Profit: A core part of Ariel's success is her commitment to a culture built around family. She makes a point not to miss her children's important events and encourages her team to do the same. This creates a supportive environment where employees feel valued, which in turn boosts morale and productivity.

Patience is a Leadership Superpower: Ariel credits her children with teaching her the value of patience. She applies this lesson to her team, understanding that everyone learns and works at their own pace. By meeting people where they are, she helps them grow and contributes to a healthier, more productive workplace.

The Power of Self-Awareness: Ariel's success stems from her journey of self-discovery, learning what gives her energy versus what depletes it. She encourages others to find their purpose by identifying what they love to do and aligning their professional lives with those passions.

Hire for Culture, Not Just Skills: Revolution Power Sports has built an extensive hiring process that weeds out candidates who may be good on paper but aren't the right cultural fit. This dedication to finding people who believe in the company’s vision and core values has created a cohesive, high-performing team.
