How to Work Your Dream Job Anywhere

This week was one that had a few hiccups, but I was totally fine with that. It allowed me an opportunity to unplug for a bit and really think about how my life has changed over the course of the past two years. To really think about my transformation with TurboFire, T25, 21 Day Fix and Shakeology. At that time I was the average 8-5 employee doing what I thought I HAD to do. The thought had NEVER crossed my mind that I would be sitting here two short years later as an Entrepreneur running my own business out of my home.  I have always just been a mom, or a working woman, or an average girl.  I didn't know how to dream bigger. I honestly was looking for a way out of my misery. I wanted to lose weight and was looking for transformation stories for motivation and I just stumbled into Beachbody much the same way that you stumbled onto my blog and are reading this article. Maybe you were just looking for a clean eating recipe above or maybe you were truly looking for a way to improve your circumstances. Either way I'm so glad you're here!

This week was one that had lots of little hiccups that kind of threw my work schedule off a bit, but in a good way. I had to make some adjustments and had a little more down time to log off and think about my life and my transformation with TurboFire, T25, 21 Day Fix and Shakeology over the past 2 years. When I go back to that time I NEVER would have thought in a million years that today I would be an entrepreneur. I have always just been a mom, or a working woman, or an average run of the mill girl. I thought the "normal" 8-5 office job was going to be "IT" for me.  I never knew how to dream big, how to remove the limits set on me by society or even fathom owning my own business.  I honestly just stumbled into Beachbody much the same way that you stumbled onto my blog and are reading this article. I was searching workout results and one page after another I landed on one that changed my life. Much the same way that you may have come across my page!You are here right now reading this post for a very specific reason. Maybe you want more for your life, maybe you just want to know what Beachbody is all about. Maybe you were searching a clean eating recipe above and happened to click on this. What ever the reason, I'm glad you're here!

When I joined the Dream Team 2 years ago, it was a very new team. I had NO idea the places we would go. In fact considering that in just 2 short years we would be the #1 team was NO WHERE on my radar!

I have committed my 2014 year to being the best leader that I can be. I have learned from the best leaders and mentors in the business.They have graciously shared every tip, trick and detail of their journey in a way that is so easy to duplicate I can do the same with new coaches who join my team! I have a coach site that offers 24/7 access to documents, resources, trainings, scripts, videos and more.  Seriously everything that you need as a new coach to get started is right at your fingertips.  Then as you move into a leadership role within your business there is leadership development, building a 6 figure income as a coach and more.  As a successful leader I strive to continually improve the system that we have created!  I love to collaborate with other leaders on the team to offer a variety of strategies, ideas and directions you can take with your business.  The best thing about this business is that there is no "RIGHT" way to do things. We are not all cut from the same mold and that's AWESOME!! We all bring something special and unique to the table.

The one thing that I have learned in this business is that the ones with endless hours to build a business are not always the most successful. The most successful coaches are the ones that have a jam packed schedule, possibly work full time already, maybe have kids, but are busy and dedicated and driven!  I have found that this business is not a one size fits all, it's a customizable business to meet your life! I can tell you when I started this business I was a full time working mom with an infant in daycare, a commute and long work weeks. If I could do it anyone can do it!

You can be a fitness instructor, a mom, a clean eater, a blogger, a social media expert, a teacher, a nurse, a lawyer, doctor or business man or woman. The bottom line is that no matter your education or credentials you have to have some WILL and WHY power in order to succeed!  You have to be able to see the bigger picture, to be willing to put in the time now so that you can build your future! 

Beachbody for me is my dream come true!  I am able to stay home with my son and raise him. I am able to work everyday when I want and for however long I want and set my own hours around his schedule.  I know that by putting in the hard work now I will be rewarded for the next 20+ years!!!!   And the best part about it is that I'm not confined to my house the way I was in my office. I make this work for ME! If I'm on a long drive I can take coach calls in the car. If I'm waiting for an appointment I can respond to emails and talk to new people. It allows me to travel with my husband and my family at the drop of a hat without having to ask my boss for a day off or wonder if I've earned enough vacation hours.

How would your life change if you could grow a business like that? What would your days would look like? For me, I can say that I'm in the best shape of my life. I can say that this is something my husband and I can do together, we brainstorm, share ideas and grow a future for OUR family. By doing this I feel that we are stronger than we have ever been before. Especially when the yucky issue of money or finances was a regular argument.

Just a few of the ways we have been blessed by Beachbody...
A free cruise to Grand Cayman and Cozumel
A free trip to Cancun
A newly landscaped back yard with beautiful patio furniture so that we can enjoy watching our children grow up
A chance to pay off credit cards and live 100% debt free
A way to have Christmas paid for in cash and not one single thing on credit cards

But this business isn't just about making it big. Sure the recognition is nice, having nice things is GREAT but at the end of the day this business affords you the flexibility to define how you want to spend your 24 hours a day 7 days a week and 365 days of the year! Maybe it will help pay an extra bill, stretch the groceries or allow you to take your family to the amusement park! The possibilities are endless, so allow yourself to dream big and ask yourself what are you willing to invest in order to achieve your future dreams!

If you have already made your decision and you do want to become a coach and you would like to be on my team then please apply by filling out the application below to be accepted into my coach apprenticeship program starting on September 1st.

I am limiting the number of coaches accepted so make sure that you don't delay on getting an application in.  I am going to teach you how to build a mobile business that fits your style, you will have access to an online group for daily support, weekly group calls, and 1:1 mentoring.

I can't wait to have you as part of the #1 team in the organization. I am truly dedicated to your success!
Hope to see you soon!

Beachbody Coaching with the Dream Team

Its the Friday before a holiday weekend. My day started early with a workout, challenge group check ins, laundry and cleaned the house, breakfast, trip to the park, snuggles on the couch and I just finished prepping the meat and sides for this weekends BBQ!! I have all my grocery shopping done for the weekend and all of next week and its not even 2pm!!

#Superwoman? HARDLY!! #Freedom to create my life the way I WANT IT? ABSOLUTELY!!

Rewind 2 years to this very day. I was working 40+ hours, had an infant, my house was a disaster and I couldn't take today off to prepare for the holiday weekend because I has ZERO vacation time. I was overweight, unhappy and all I wanted to do was get to 5pm so I could have a 3 day weekend that would rush by so fast and bring me back to the office on Tuesday. We were living paycheck to paycheck and it was NOT the life I had envisioned for myself and my family.

All I can say is that I am truly BLESSED that God has put this little thing called Beachbody in my lap, that I was laid off from my job and that I ended up on the #1 team in the ENTIRE company. Luck? Nope!! I truly believe I was meant to HELP OTHERS!! This is what I was CALLED to do and the fact that I GET to do this every day is still like a dream!! I get to take free vacations with my family, I have the freedom to travel and work from anywhere I want, I get to set my own schedule and be the CEO of my OWN business while being present at home and raise my children!! I'm a mom JUST LIKE YOU!! I just wanted more for my family. I was tired of the "average" and ready for the "EXTRAORDINARY"!!

I would be SELFISH if I didn't share this opportunity with everyone I know!! So TODAY I am inviting YOU to join the Dream Team!! If any part of this post struck a cord with you I want to chat!! I am taking 10 women under my wing starting JUNE 2 and teaching you everything I was taught.

BUT... here are a few things to consider before applying:

Coach Success Story - Challenger to Emerald in a Few Short Months!

Meet Kristen Johnson! Kristen is a Beachbody Coach and a member of my team, the #2 ranked Dream Team!! I've spent quite a bit of time chatting with Kristen over the past couple weeks and really gotten to know her and understand her WHY. WHY she is passionate about health and fitness, WHY she wants to be a Beachbody coach and WHY she thinks this opportunity can help her family to have an amazing future!! Not only has she had great success in her own challenge group but she has already started to pay it forward! She is inviting others to get healthy and fit in her challenge groups and she is also helping other coaches just like herself start on a road to financial freedom! But I'll let her tell you in her own words....

I'm a wife, busy mom of 3 and full time employee. Kids range from 4,10 & 13. They are all active in clubs, sports, church and music. I find myself chauffeuring them to different schools as well as their multiple activities.

I found out my friend Karissa was holding a Challenge Group from a post her husband had on fb and started asking her questions. I decided to participate in her October CG and loved the daily interactions and challenges given. After a short time you begin to bond with the ladies and feel like a member of a secret club. Everyone is supportive and truly cares if you had a good day or bad day on your fitness journey. That comradery was infectious and I found myself quickly wanting to give back to the group. I noticed the more active I was in the posts the more support and accountability I had. I couldn't believe the results I was seeing from ladies on BB programs so again I started asking questions. I decided to try T25 and signed up as a discount coach.

December came around and I started thinking that maybe I wanted more for myself and my family. But I wasn't quite sure what that was. First thing I did was post to the ladies to see if anyone had an idea for a career that allowed me flexibility with my family, recognition and opportunity to workout during the day and get paid. Diane shot back first that I could always be a BB Coach. That got me thinking maybe I could. I followed the steps for my certificate and was fortunate to be at the right place at the right time to join the coach apprenticeship program starting January 6. About mid January I started feeling more like a coach and started promoting myself and BB. By early Feb I was Emerald and should be at least SC5 by month end.

My goal is to go full time as BB Coach and am confident with the support that I have behind me I can.
I feel that the coaches truly want each other to succeed. There isn't cutthroat maneuvers or jealousy. Support is all around and the BB site is easy to navigate and offers everything I could possibly need to succeed as a BB coach and grow my business. I've been very impressed and find it easy to talk about BB and their programs because I believe in it. I have seen what can come from it and I am sold"

I can totally see a fire in her eyes and I KNOW that this girl is headed to the top! She is an amazing student, taking all that she has learned and applying it to grow her business. She is kind, thoughtful and has a great sense of humor! Watch out for her name in the near future!!

If you are sitting here reading this and are feeling a little tug that you might be interested in more information on becoming a coach on the #2 ranked Dream Team I would love to set up a time to chat! Please shoot me a friend request on Facebook so we can meet and fill out the Coaching application below.

Diamond Beachbody Coach Success Story

For those of you who follow my blog, Facebook or know me personally you may already know much of this story. But for those who are reading it for the first time, I want to share a little bit about my journey with Beachbody from challenger to Diamond coach in just over a years time. Make sure you read to the end, you WILL be writing a story like this of your own and I can't wait to start the journey with you!

In January of 2012 I tipped the scales at 196 pounds. I had a 6 month old baby and LOTS of baby weight to get rid of. I felt sad, depressed and had no energy. I cried to my husband and told him that I was not comfortable in my own skin. I avoided social gatherings, hid in the back of pictures and felt completely lost. So I gathered up some friends and family members and started my own Biggest Loser challenge on Facebook. I created a private group where we could report our weight, share tips and healthy dinner ideas.I also started posting motivational pictures and quotes to keep myself motivated on my own personal FB wall. I lost about 20 pounds and felt like I was on my way! But at this point I didn't know what else to do, I was at a plateau and wanted to push past it. So I started surfing YouTube and came across a program called Turbo Fire. I saw other women getting AMAZING results and I didn't care what they did I WANTED IT!!!

So I bought it and found my coach. I was pumped and ready to start, but she said I had to get this stuff called Shakeology. I have never been a "shake person" and thought that it was just the same as all the other weight loss in a can crap out there on the market. So I kindly declined and did my Turbo Fire on my own. Two months had past and I had lost about 6 pounds...this was NOT the results that I wanted. I reached back out and asked her to tell me about Shakeology. I needed help and I didn't want to waste any more time. Here is what I learned...Shakeology is NOT just a protein shake! Yes it has protein in it, but it is a nutrient dense meal replacement shake with the vitamins and nutrition equivalent to 6 salads. (This was also WAY more than I was getting in my multi-vitamin!) I was very skeptical when I was told that Shakeology would help with digestion and regularity (a problem I had that I know MANY of us suffer from), curb cravings, boost energy naturally and help lose weight. How could a chocolate shake, that taste like a diner milkshake do all that AND be good for me? I kid you not that it DELIVERED. And the benefits didnt stop there. I had energy to get up and get my morning workouts done, I had less bloating in my stomach, I was losing weight as a result and since my body was getting all the nutrients and vitamins it needed I wasnt having cravings for junk. All cravings are is a way for our body to tell us that it's lacking something so we go seeking to satisfy it with junk or comfort food. My hair and nails were also strong and growing faster than ever! Deciding to drink Shakeology daily was the BEST decision I've made and all I can say is I wish I listened to my coach two months earlier. The combination of my workout, Shakeology and the support, community and accountability of my challenge group is what made all the pieces of the puzzle come together. Sure I could have hit the gym and ate "healthy" but I didnt know what to eat and how to workout. This challenge group gave me the tools, the nutrition, a day to day schedule for my workouts, it was a piece of cake! Although I am still a work in progress I have come a long way and proud of my efforts.

It was at this same time when I started drinking Shakeology that my coach approached me and asked what I thought about becoming a coach myself. Honestly I was flattered but I knew NOTHING about coaching. She was so professional and knowledgeable about health, fitness, clean eating and Beachbody and I was JUST starting my journey. She also told me that I could be a "preferred customer" if I wanted to and get 25% of of my Shakeology and any other products I purchased (HECK YAY, Coupon Queen over here!!) and I would also be able to join her challenge group as a challenger but at the same time learn how to coach others. I did this for 90 days as I went through my own personal transformation and ended 2012 down 42 pounds. I was PUMPED, I was no longer hiding in the back of pictures, I was LOVING my new, cute clothes and I was full of energy, which was really helpful with a one and a half year old! I knew if I could do this working a full time job with an infant that anyone could do it!

I met with my coach, joined her 60 day apprenticeship program where I learned everything she knew and did to get her to where she is today. I was given tools, documents, support, motivation and guidance to grow my own team. And then I told her that I was ready to do it on my own. I hit the ground running and have not looked back. I have successfully ran 1-2 challenge groups every month for the past 16 months, I am currently a Success Club 10 All Star, I have 25 personally sponsored coaches and a total of 40 coaches on my team! I ranked in the top 25 out of thousands of teams on the Beachbody Cup Challenge and I will be taking an all expense paid trip with my hubby in March as a reward for my efforts. It it not my intention in any way to brag or show off, I just hope to show you that ANYTHING is possible when you set your mind to it!! So here's where my story ends and YOURS begins!!

I had an amazing year but I only have BIGGER and BOLDER dreams for 2014 and I want YOU to be a part of them!! I want you to live the life of your dreams, set your own hours, help you help others, help you spend more time with your children and family and help you to financial freedom! Whether you are a stay at home mom or a busy working professional, if you have a passion for health and fitness or if you enjoy helping others I'd love to chat about joining my team. As I said above if you only join to get a discount on your products while you go through your own transformation that's awesome!
