Is coaching for REAL?


See that picture? THAT is exactly what I felt like when I was first approached about the coaching opportunity. I was like, "Hmmm, sounds cool but also sounds like a scam." HONESTLY!! I kind of looked at the opportunity with one eye because, to be real with you, we couldn't afford to lose any money. We were in a dark place financially and I was desperate to find a source of income I could earn from home. We didn't even know how we'd pay rent each, let alone any other bills, so we couldn't even put our brand new baby in daycare so I could go get a job. It was a really trying time and it felt like God just kept putting Beachbody coaching in front of me so I finally decided I needed to just trust Him and give it my best shot. Plus, if I could make it work I'd be able to stay home with my little one, so it was a WIN all around.


I really want to save you from the uncertainty and anxiety of researching this coaching opportunity with Beachbody. Whether you are here looking into joining my team or someone else's, I want to ensure you get the information you need because I truly want EVERYONE to succeed and 110% believe this opportunity can SAVE people. It saved me and my family and I've seen it time and time again save countless others. Let's start by discussing exactly what a beachbody coach IS and ISN'T.



______________________________________________________________________________


Does that help to clear some of your questions up? I know it was pretty eye opening to me when I learn that my initial thoughts were completely wrong. The NUMBER ONE thing I believe that rings true is someone with a big heart who wants to GROW as a leader and a person. A Beachbody coach leads other people AND themselves in the right direction with their health and fitness as well as other goals and dreams. There are a few really common misconceptions that I hear all the time and I wanted to address them a bit more in depth!


--You don't have to be at your goal weight! Beachbody coaching is more about taking the journey WITH others, along side of you. Doing it TOGETHER. Think about it.....how relatable is perfection? I would not be motivated by somebody who proclaimed to have it all together and have the perfect/ideal body they always wanted. I want to know that someone else is sacrificing and fighting to put down that pop-tart right along side of me! Coaching is all about RELATING to people and the more REAL and VULNERABLE we are, sharing our ups and downs, the more people connect with us and see that they can do it too!


--You don't have to be a business expert! A lot of people are really nervous at first which is totally normal--I know I was! We think things like "How would I get people to join my team?" or "How would I get in touch with people" or " I don't even think I have a market!" or "How do I get people to join a challenge without being salesy?" The BEST thing about being part of an awesome team......ALL THESE THINGS ARE ALREADY SPELLED OUT for you. We have tons of trainings, documents and one-on-one trainings constantly running to help everyone reach their business goals! Lots of the TOP COACHES in the BIZ (we are talking millionaires, guys) have figured out the ways and they pass it down to you! :)


--You do NOT have to be a certified personal trainer or nutrition expert. Recognize these names? Shaun T? Tony Horton? Autumn Calabrese? Chalene Johnson? These are the CELEBRITY TRAINERS that Beachbody has chosen to create workout programs and whip challengers into shape! They are THE BEST OF THE BEST! Beachbody also has full teams of the top nutritionists making supplements and custom meal plans-- tested and proven-- for challengers to use! As a coach, you are simply there to support, and encourage them as you lead by example.


--It is NOT a pyramid scheme! (Clearly I was clueless as to what "pyramid scheme" meant because it makes no sense that this was a fear I had about Beachbody haha!) Pyramid schemes are those that people buy into but no value/good/or service is exchanged. People are giving money to buy into the company, and recruiters get paid just from people buying in. The people who get into the company first will always make the most money because every future recruit is literally putting money in their pocket just by signing up. Beachbody is very different than that because, for example, I do not get paid anything for you becoming a coach. The only time I benefit from you being a coach is when you help others achieve their fitness goals. Also, you don't buy in to the company. The only fee you pay other than for your products are for your websites and online office. You also always have the ability to outgrow and out earn those above you, unlike in a pyramid scheme. It's all dependent on how hard you work and how many people's lives you change by helping them on their health and fitness journey. In pyramid schemes, your only job is to bring in other people. With Beachbody, the only reason we bring in other people is to influence and change as many lives as possible. The reason we get paid for it is simply because our CEO decided instead of relying on only infomercials and store sales, he would rather have people who are using the products and passionate about them share their stories to help others achieve their own goals.

Also, no one person sits at the top, reaping the benefits, your success depends on how hard you work, plain and simple...is it Multi Level Marketing? Absolutely, EVERY company is in a way...every company has a CEO at the top, but with this company, like I said, you can make more than your own coach or even their coach, etc.



Feel better?? Yay! 



______________________________________________________________________________

Now, let's talk about some of the BENEFITS of becoming a coach! 



.....I know. Amazing, right?

That is what I am trying to tell you! But most people cant see it at first because our BRAINS ARE TRAINED & our culture is SO committed to:
-going to school
-spending thousands getting a degree
-working in that job for YEARS behind a desk until you GET TO retire
-"living for the weekend"
-living stressed out because of finances and lack of time to really ENJOY life and spend time with loved ones

There was always something deep down in my heart that knew life was supposed to be MORE than that-- BETTER than that. 

All of the benefits above are real and true. In my first 12 weeks I averaged earning about $250 A WEEK with Beachbody. How much would an extra $1000 dollars a month help you and your family? We actually got to buy Christmas presents and take a real trip to the grocery store. Are you saving for an extra special vacation? A new pair of shoes? OR are you struggling every month to pay that electric bill? OR do just not have any money left over when all is said and done? With that financial freedom comes all of the other benefits listed above. And you, of course, have the opportunity to GROW exponentially. The amount of money you make is a direct reflection of the number of lives you change. Many coaches we work with have been able to grow their business to a 6-figure income within a year. Does everyone do it? No. But does everyone have the same possibility? Absolutely. It's just a matter of commitment, persistence, and belief in yourself. (And trust me, you'll GROW in that so so much as you dive into the daily process of coaching...but more on that in Coach Training ;) )

Oh, and P.S., there is NO OBLIGATION. Most of the time when you sign up for an opportunity like this, there is a time commitment or a huge financial commitment. You could sign up as a coach and then cancel the very next day if you decide it's not for you. 

______________________________________________________________________________

Now lets talk about the THREE different KINDS of coaches! YES, there are options-- everyone's goals are different so there are different kinds of coaching you can do! 


Make sense?? You can choose which kind of coach you want to be AND you can change your mind at any point in time! If you start out as a discount coach and one day wake up and have it on your heart to build this into a full-time business, you absolutely can! I am here as your coach to help you reach whatever YOUR goals are!

I think the graphic below explains something really shocking and exciting, and I know the first time I saw it, it was like a slap in the face, realizing the kind of opportunity that was in the palm of my hand. So, of course I had to share with you. How does being a Beachbody coach compare to starting your own franchise elsewhere? (Because that's basically what you're doing...starting your own "franchised" Beachbody/health & fitness business...just without having to do all the yucky, not fun behind the scenes stuff!)


______________________________________________________________________________

If you're anything like I was, you might be sitting there thinking, "Well, it seems like an awesome opportunity and there is really nothing to lose BUT I am still feeling like I don't know if I would be a "GOOD" coach." 
Well, to be honest, coaching can be for anyone, and I'm not just saying that. The life transformations I've witnessed are nothing short of miraculous and proof that no matter your background or situation, you can take this opportunity and run with it, creating the life of your dreams. 
From bankrupt bartender to millionaire Elite coach. 
From broke waitress on drugs to 4-time Elite coach. 
From unhappy corporate job to six-figure home business. 
From a doctor with no time for family to stay at home 6 figure earning dad. 
From stressed-out teacher to stay at home mom, 6 figure earning Elite coach in a year.
You guys. You can do this, too. I know it.  < 3
