The Active Life

Big news in the Beachbody community...Coach Summit is NEXT MONTH and guess who got a FREE ticket!! I have to tell you a little secret though. Getting this ticket, as free as it was, didn't feel very free. I worked hard for this. What did I have to do to earn this free ticket to Summit? Beachbody has a Success Starters club, which gives you a chance, in your first 3 months in the business to earn your free ticket by making success club each month. That means you are selling challenge packs (2 sc pts) or signing people up for Shakeology HD (1 sc pt), or signing new coaches (1 or 2 sc pts). If you make success club 5 or higher in the first 3 months as a coach, you get the free ticket. And...I DID IT! It wasn't easy. I may have had to pull a favor or two from some very lovely and helpful people. I had to think outside of the box, and get out of my comfort zone. But the fact is, I'm going to Summit. A lot of successful coaches have said that being at this three day conference changed their business and their lives. This will be my first one, but I am anxiously waiting for the day I board that plane to Las Vegas so that I can soak up everything Beachbody has to offer! And I get to stay at the MGM Grand!!!! If that's not SUPER EXCITING, I don't know what is! However... Being in this business is not easy. Especially for me. I am shy, kind of quiet, I have a bit of low self esteem at times. I tend to compare myself to how well others are doing and don't look enough at my own strengths and accomplishments. I like to think that there is a formula and a right way to achieve my goals in this business, and that is almost always not the case. The truth is, I am being stretched to the limit. Sometimes I question my validity as a coach. Do I have what it takes? Can I truly help others reach their goals? Am I giving 100% to reach my own goals? It is daunting at times. Not everyone understands the business, or why I am in it. Then it can seem lonely. The one thing that will drive me to keep moving forward is my own self telling me to not give up. People are counting on me. And believe it or not, there are those who look up to me, who come to me for advice! Being a part of this business allows me to be there for people who don't have anyone else to turn to. I can inspire, and get inspired. And I get to do that from the comfort of my home surrounded by my sweet children! It is an ordinary opportunity that I have as a coach, and I do LOVE my job!! This is what I want to do for the rest of my life! It is all about helping others while helping myself. Isn't that what life is all about in some way or another? And heck, if I can go to Las Vegas every year for FREE, why wouldn't I LOVE this job?!
