Right now I'm a stay at home mom who works a variety of jobs trying to pull in that extra income we need to survive. One of my jobs, of course, is being a stay at home mom. Being the parent at home means that I take the lion share of the chores and errands. I am the laundry person, dishes, cleaning, gardening, playdate-arranger and the one who contacts any contractors we may need. I also do the shopping and budgeting for the house. We have found that life is easier if one person is in charge of the money, tracks the bills to be paid and decides how and on what our extra money is spent on.
On the side, I also write this and one other blog. I blog because I have always loved writing and because I think that I am really fascinating. I really enjoy organizing my thoughts and trying to get a story out that is succinct and coherent. Blogging gives me a sense of creativity and accomplishment and some serious instant gratification.
My third business is one that I have started recently to keep me accountable and stay true to my new, healthier, lifestyle. I have started as a Coach for Beachbody an it has helped me nail down my fitness and financial goals. I now have a concrete reason for working out and trying the new Beachbody programs-I want to know what I'm recommending to people! Besides, I couldn't really be a good coach if I never worked out, right? I couldn't be a good coach if I still had the same bad habits that led me to the unhealthy place I was before. Now I just have an additional reason to be healthy, take time to challenge my body and soul and try to build a living off of that.
It also helps me feel that I am doing something to help our community. Our country is dealing with an epidemic of epic proportions-obesity. It is something that I have battled and now, thanks to the behavioral changes my family has made, we are all healthier and happier. I feel like I have a duty to help spread that word about an approach that works. I also want to be a good example for my daughters and show them that women should be strong, confident and healthy. I want them to be able to do pull-ups and push-ups and believe that their body is worth taking care of!
The nice thing about being a coach is that you are encouraged to start where you are right now. You're encouraged to build your self confidence, believe in your goals and are shown how to accomplish those goals.
Now, here's what I'm not:
A Fitness Guru: I don't know everything. I don't have a perfect body or even a bikini body. What I do have is knowledge about Beachbody and the programs and proof that if you work hard, change your habits and push play, you will acheive the body shape and size you desire. I think that this is so important because I hemmed and hawed over whether or not to be a Coach for a while. I thought that I was too fat, didn't know enough about business or sales, etc. I am a perfect example of what I would want in a coach. I would want someone who understood how hard it is to make these huge behavioral changes. I would want someone to understand how hard it is to get your butt in gear and make exercise a serious part of your day. I would also want someone to encourage me because they know how rewarding it is to meet your goals. I have met my first fitness goal-that was to be a size 10. Now I have decided to revise that goal to be a size 6-and for the first time in my life, when it happens, it will be because I've made smart food choices, smart exercise choices and have created a sustainable, healthier, lifestyle.
A Business Guru: This is truly the best part of the Beachbody business. They are masters of marketing, team building and training. From day one I have received excellent training on how to be a successful coach (they call it "The Game Plan") Now, if I had just listened from day one I could really be so much further along. I didn't follow the first rule-"Treat your business like a business" I have just started to do that in the past two weeks and things are already picking up.
Now on the other hand, I am:
Motivated and energized and a "true believer" of these products. I really love the company and everything that I read about Beachbody, every video series that is put out, every trainer (especially Tony Horton!) is so very motivational. Every week there is a training call, there are talking points, there are great incentives and the potential for commissions is endless. I have a goal to be a Diamond Coach by the end of the year but that is just the beginning for me.
If, after reading this, you want to find out more about being a Beachbody Coach please contact me. I would be your upline coach and would support you and show you the ropes. I want to help you build a successful business so that you, too, can replace your full-time income. I know that these things are going to happen. The question is-are you willing to take a chance now instead of later? If I knew what I know now, I would have done this three years ago.

E-mail me here I will answer all of your questions and get you started.
Don't wait. The opportunity to be a coach is always going to be there-but why put off a good decision? Together we can change ourselves, our community and our country for the better. We can help create a culture of fitness and financial independence.
