So today was a HUGE day for me! I have been working as a health and fitness coach for just about 16 months now and I am now really starting to see not only the reward from helping so many people, but also the financial reward that comes along with paying it forward and putting time and dedication into your business.
MY JOURNEY:
So my business started in the middle of last November after participating in a challenge group which is a support group where you get to pick any fitness program by TEAM BEACH BODY and incorporate SHAKEOLOGYonce daily to get the dense nutrition you need to maximize your results and improve your overall health! This group helped me stay accountable and motivated for reaching my ultimate goals. I received 1:1 coaching and had to check in daily to share with my coach how my day went and whether I drank my shake, did my workout, and even rated my food intake! If this isn’t accountability, I don’t know what is.  But it definitely helped me reach some awesome goals!
Now I was not quite at my goal, but was seeing great progress and decided I loved what I was doing, so I decided to take my love for helping people ( I am also a Registered Nurse) to a different level and become a health and fitness coach myself! I loved the challenge groups and wanted to help my family and friends see great results! I knew using Beach Body was the way to go.. There is no bad thing I can say about these products… They are here for simple reasons… They are made to change your life and improve your health and lifestyle!
As I started as a coach, I continued my own journey, but was very fearful of inviting people to a challenge group because I felt I was being “selly”… I am probably the worst salesperson you will EVER find! Its just not my cup of tea… I went 2 months before really finding WHY this career was important to me.
It wasn’t until January that I went to a Super Saturday in Pittsburgh and met some amazing coaches that were so motivating and inspiring and decided this was my calling… I needed this! From then on, I jumped on board with trying to find people who wanted the lifestyle change, but didn’t know where to find the help… I had to go to them! I messaged people, I got denied (more than you can imagine), BUT the important part of this is I did NOT give up!!
When something is so important in your life, you never give up on it… I mean, would you give up on your husband, wife, or children?!? Absolutely not!  So I started to treat my business like a business and not just a hobby.. I stayed consistent whether I was frustrated or not.  I then found personal development.  People may think reading personal development is for nerds or millionaires.. Guess what?! I never read a book in my life… Pathetic I know. But this is different.  The kind of different that it’s one of those things I will just say “You have to just do it and read it to find out for yourself how much it will actually change you and your outlook on life in general.”  I have been reading 10-15 minutes daily and each day was like finding a new motivation to keep me going and keep me consistent with what is important to me.
April 1st, I became a diamond beach body coach.. I seriously felt like I was on top of the world being able to call myself a “Diamond” coach.  Why?? I was going for the rank and name… But then I was realizing, holding Diamond is harder than I thought and as I almost lost my Diamond status 2 times, I realized once you hit Diamond, you cannot sit back and enjoy the name… You now have to own up to the rank and take the lead.  You need to push harder, and add new roles such as building a team, running coach training groups, and acting as the leader.  As I sat there at Diamond having 1 or 2 new coaches who wanted to work the business, I felt my success would never come.
As months went by and I stayed consistent with my 3 vital behaviors- Being a product of the product and using every program and drinking Shakeology every day, I was also inviting every day and reading my personal development, it hit me!  In the month of September, I had 5 coaches (4 brand spanking new) who said to me they want to be diamond! I am pretty sure I thought I was going to fall over… hoping this was true and I finally found coaches who had the same passion for me and that I can share my experience with.  It wasn’t until 5  weeks later, every week each of them hit Diamond just like they planned.. then I was ready to fall over! A miracle?? A dream?? Luck?? NO, it was pure hard work that was finally paying off!!  On my 1 year Anniversary working as a health and fitness coach, I was a 5 star qualifying Diamond Beach body coach and qualifying for Elite for 2013!
Qualifying for 6 weeks was probably the most stressful times I have had yet, but I will say it was sooo worth it!! I was gaining leadership skills, building my business, and helping tons of people!!
December 25th was the day I found out I had done it! I had reached my highest goal I made of becoming a 5 star Elite coach.. Better yet, I was 6 star Qualifying! This means, I made it to the top 1% of all 140,000 Beach Body coaches in the entire company in just 1 year!
Now its time to talk a little more about the financial reward that comes with hard work and Beach Body.  Just like any other job, when you work hard, you get paid.. The DIFFERENCE between Beach Body and every other job is the harder you work, the more you make… there is no limit! There is no begging for a raise… You make your raise! So here is how it went.. I am a little nervous sharing this with everyone, but I’m going to do it… WHY?? Because I am so proud of my accomplishments to this day.  I have put in hours, helped as many people as possible, and I care.. That matters!!
So as I said before, I am a nurse and a coach..
With Beach Body, I was able to go part-time as a nurse, and focus a little more on my own business.  By the time my 1 year Anniversary came with Beach Body, I had almost made up for working part time.  By December, which is 1 month after my 1 year, I was making what I did as a nurse.. 900$/week.
It wasn’t until today that something caught my eye… I went from December until today- 2 months… I TRIPLED MY PAYCHECK!! I just made 2,781.25 in 1 week! I just made more than I do in 2 weeks as a full time RN with my BSN in just 1 week and all the the training I needed to start this amazing successful business is just a 3 hour Coach Training Academy!?!

4. Incorporate the 3 Vital behaviors- I cannot stress it enough, if you are inviting every day, people to join you on this journey, helping people find themselves and live that healthy lifestyle they have always wanted, reading personal development, and being a product of the product (using the workouts regularly and drinking your SHAKEOLOGY to stay on top of your own health), you will find success coming your way.  You will find it easier to do your job and it will be less of a job by making these all habits!

If you are worried about getting started, think about suffering the regret from not going for an opportunity that may change your life!
