Daily Inspiration: Meet Tim Pacatte

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tim Pacatte.

Hi Tim, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I have been a serial entrepreneur since I was nineteen! I started with a construction company in 2005 – the market was hot in AZ, we took a chance and made pivots along the way as opportunities rolled in. Then, in 2010, I put myself in the right place – asked the right questions, determined as I was to work for the right person – and within six months, I was offered an opportunity to join a restaurant group in Southern Arizona. That mentor/business partner (Ryan Field) taught me that anything is possible with hard work, a dream, and the mindset that it will work out as long and you stay the course. I am still a partner in that company, and I’m pleased to say it is thriving today – with nearly twenty restaurants open, and many more in the pipeline to be built and opened within the next two years.

Then in 2019, I had a life changing moment. It was very fortunate, but probably not in the way most hope they would come! I woke up one morning to an email that, in short, felt like I had failed. My most valued employee – the person that had made my life so easy – had had enough. I had lost the dream, the work ethic, mindset – and slowly but surely, behind the scenes, it began to fall apart. I ignored the warning signs, and continued down a very dark and sad path.

I say “fortunately,” however, because after a six-month downward spiral, I was able to find a fitness concept that gave me new life again – so much so that I immediately began to research how I could open other studios in AZ, so that others could feel the same life changing effects this concept did for me. Ironically enough, their tagline is “Team Training – Life Changing” … and, oh man, how right that was!

In early 2020 I built my first F45 Training center in Chandler AZ – but, as fate would have it, the weekend we were set to open, the COVID-19 pandemic hit. This postponed my newfound passion, and for quite some time I was sent right back into that dark place. Thankfully, a dear friend of mine (Allen Acedo) introduced me to a wonderful center in AZ a few months prior – a center that helped people focus on mind, body and breath, to heal not only the physical body, but mental health as well. This, I see now, is where Tim Pacatte “Version 2.0” was born.

Throughout the pandemic – with quite a bit of time on my hands and a major desire to get healthy and happy again – I began the program “75 Hard.” It was during this time that I really dived into my physical health – hiking, lifting, running, cold plunging, using the sauna, eating clean, taking daily walks, etc – and I began to conceptualize something very similar to the center I had been a diehard regular at prior to the world closure. Around this time, the good Lord placed a man in my life (Spencer Davis) who had a very similar desire to help people the way I did – through creating a center that offered compression therapy, infrared saunas, cold plunges, hot tubs and red light therapy.

By January 2022 we had fully conceptualized, leased, developed and opened our first wellness center. And that, my friends, is how RESET Mind & Body was born. It wasn’t long before I knew we had something that was also life changing – so in 2022 I sold the F45’s, and used those funds to scale RESET. Today we have nine locations either in operation or in construction, with two franchisees and in two states (Colorado and Arizona) with others coming soon!

So in as few words as possible that is my story, but stay tuned – because I am not done! There are many more chapters to be written in this book!

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The path to where you’re going is never going to be “smooth.” You can bet it will be filled with pot holes, cliffs, mountains, and rivers to cross. I do think, though – to circle back to staying the course, having a dream and the strength to see where you are going on the cloudiest of days – is what makes me different than most. This was not something that came to me inherently; it was learned and developed over decades.

I will say, I do have to chuckle a bit at this question. What were some struggles along the way? There were so many – from bouncing paychecks to employees, owing the state and investors money that I couldn’t pay, drinking to forget the problems, having panic attacks, constant struggles with anxiety and self worth … and, truth be told, thoughts in my head I wouldn’t wish upon anyone.

*But* … I am a fighter. I am a believer in HIM, and if I never got to experience such low “lows,” I would never be able to value and cherish these highs!

I, with the help of so many, have created and built a place that quite literally changes people’s lives. The struggles above I mentioned were silenced (and some removed) because of RESET. Over the past three years, I have had personal and emotional conversations, hugs, cries and had many miracles told to me – from people dealing with terminal cancer, to addictions, to life changing diseases and injuries. RESET isn’t just a trendy place with tubs of cold water inside it; RESET is a community of like minded individuals, each with their own story and their own “WHY.” No matter what brings our members in, we encourage them to come as often as possible because we see the effects it has on them every single day. And people have forged so many kinds of new relationships at RESET – people have become business partners, and some have even become life partners.

We pride ourselves on creating a space for people to disconnect from life stressors, and reconnect with themselves. RESET has become a very special place, where you can repair your Mind and Body and regain the YOU that you remember!

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’ve been asked this question quite a lot throughout my career, and I have a very similar answer each time.

I have the ability to put myself in the right situations to meet the right people, and these people have completely transformed my life and our business. When I put myself in those situations (and then act on them) I am beyond blessed. This is how I have been able to join businesses, add value to them, build teams of people, and ultimately get to where I am. This is also how I have met business partners, investors, key employees, mentors, etc.

I’d advise anyone to be a sponge: open your eyes and ears, and be on the lookout for opportunities. You may have to skip a party or two, say no to a weekend out and – yep, definitely say YES to stuff that makes you uncomfortable. But put your people first, take care of them, be sure to keep their cup as full as possible, and make sure they know that your wins are their wins! Become a master communicator, be honest, have integrity – and most importantly, love your people. That is how I have set myself apart.

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
I wish I had read more books. I have a required book per quarter with my team, and we all read the same chapters each week and pick books we can finish in roughly twelve weeks. I wish I started this sooner, because it has been a major “unlock.” I also wish I had joined and attended more masterminds/seminars, and I wished I spent the money on a mentor earlier.

Be careful here though: there are a lot of wannabes. Make sure to do your research, and to select someone that has what you want and has been where you are. Make sure it is industry specific or goal specific – for example, you want to scale from this amount to that amount in revenue, locations, etc – and find someone who has done that. Or, if you want to build an online business that incorporates a personal brand and being on camera, find someone who has achieved that and achieved it well!
