There are SO many reasons for me, but let me just start with a few! <3
My personal reasons for coaching...
- To stay accountable to my own health/fitness goals.
- To be able to work from home, braless, in my jammies, and choose my hours.
- To be able to work with some of my best friends.
- To be able to eventually retire my father, help my sister through college, give BACK and retire my significant other.
- So my significant other and I can be present in his child's life, volunteer at school functions, and not miss a moment -- no BOSS telling us when we can live our lives.
- I have a "job" that doesn't feel like "work". To feel like I have a purpose. Giving and doing for others builds confidence. Helping people makes my heart happy.
- I am surrounded with positive people daily which has molded me into a happier, more positive person. My success is determined by how many people I help--how many other jobs provide unlimited success and income based on the amount of lives you change?
- I LOVE social media!
- FREEDOM! <3
Coaching FAQ's -- What's the Scoop on Coaching?
1. I don’t have a transformation yet/I don’t look like a Beachbody coach/I'm too big to be a coach.
When I signed up to be a coach, I was 300 lbs and had ALWAYS been over weight. I was KNOWN for being the "big girl". I was not at my GOAL body, but I joined a Challenge Group and decided to share exactly what I was doing with the world! I was so excited. And, what I realized was...no one relates to PERFECT. People relate to someone just like themselves who is working towards a goal. They are inspired by seeing someone just like themselves push through and reach a goal. So, I shared what I was doing...and, people starting watching me. When they saw my consistency and hard work starting to pay off, they asked me what I was doing--they actually were inspired...by ME!! Crazy. So, it's that simple. Commit to YOURSELF and your transformation, show people this really WORKS, and you will inspire...then, you're in business! Still dont believe me...watch THIS video! Also, here is MY transformation to date. I've lost 110lbs since October 2014. Not ONE minute did I let my size hold me back. To be honest, I used it to my advantage! :)
2. I’m not a salesperson…
Welp...neither am I. This was pretty much my biggest fear. I have no background in sales, and I have too much pride to be one of those icky, sticky sale people. I just won't do it. lol The cool thing about coaching...like I said above...I SHARE what I do. I don't SELL. When people see me sharing my journey, they ask me what I've been doing, and I talk to them about their goals and how I could help them reach them, and I share my story. When you start thinking about this as SELLING...people feel like you're trying to SELL them something. Then, they want NO part in it. But, if you focus on sharing and helping...you will succeed!
Here's me...SHARING my Weight Loss Journey on my Facebook page:
3. What if I don’t have time? I work a full time job!
We all have the same 24 hours in each of our days, so it's all about how we use them! When I signed up to be a coach I was working 12-16 days. Typically overnight. I was the epitome of BUSY. I was basically working away my LIFE and had NOTHING to show for it. I knew something had to change. I was also so TIRED of being over weight and in that perpetual yo-yo dieters nightmare! I signed up that night. I quickly learned to manage my time. I created a "Power Hour" for my business each day and focused on building my business. I squeezed some extra work time in during my lunch break and sacrificed watching TV at night in order to squeeze in a little extra work time. In less than 1 year, I can proudly say that I now work from home FULL time :) It CAN be done friends!
4. Who will ever be part of my team...or buy anything from me?
We as coaches, focus a LOT on personal development and becoming the BEST person we all can be. Not only for ourselves but also to have the positive mindset to inspire other people. When you share your journey along with your hobbies/interests and lifestyle on social media, you will attract people just like yourself. Being YOU is what sets you apart from every other coach. People don't buy from you because of the products you're selling, they buy from you because they are inspired by watching your journey, they relate to you as a person through your posts, and they feel that you genuinely want to help them. If you focus on sharing and HELPING, you will succeed. You feel me? :)
This is me...being me :P
5. Is this a pyramid scheme?
PYRAMID SCHEMES / vs. / BEACHBODY
Sooooo...within the passed year and a half as a Beachbody coach, I've had several people ask me, "Is this one of those PYRAMID things?". Half of the time they are not even SURE what that even MEANS! haha But, I'll be straight up with you. I was one of those skeptical people who thought the same exact thing. I researched extensively to find the real facts before I jumped 2 feet into coaching. There IS a difference between a "Pyramid Scheme or Scam" and a "Legitimate MLM company". Here's the scoop!
But, first...FUN FACT: Did you know that 83% of women who make
OVER $100,000 per year work for an MLM? :P
Other Important Facts:
Beachbody holds an A+ rating with the
Better Business Bureau
6. I’m an introvert and shy….I don’t know if I can do it.
I am finding more and MORE that I'm actually an introvert everyday. I thought for the longest time that I was extroverted but really im now. OOPS :p I'm pretty much a hermit. I have a small group of friends. What I've found is that introverts are quiet, but we are also creative, compassionate, and have great listening skills. We thrive when communicating via social media--OH...and we love being home...so, we do awesome in this business. My business is 95% social media. I love that I'm able to open the lines of communication when I want to...but, then shut it off when I'm finished and want to be in my own bubble--fellow introverts...you know what I'm talking about.
7. How much does it cost to sign up?
I've never owned my own business before Beachbody, but some of my friends told me about the crazy overhead not to mention the additional utility costs and THEN some. So I KNOW that the sign up fee is CRAZY low! The sign up fee is $39.95, and sometimes this fee can even be waived...(ask me how). There is a monthly fee of $15.95. These fees cover your personalized websites and maintenance, a customer service center, a shipping department so you do NOT have to buy/carry inventory, and, you don't have to ship the products. Beachbody does all of this for you. Your only other inventory is the products you use to get improve your health and get in shape so you're able to share your journey. Can I just TELL you how awesome it is to own a full time work from home CAREER without the crazy overhead or hassle of customer service or shipping?!
8. What if I FAIL?!?!
You will not fail. If you tell yourself I WILL DO THIS and you commit to being coachable, I will teach you everything I've done to become a 6-figure earner within 2 years, and you will succeed. It's all very simple to do, but it's also simple NOT to do. If you commit to me and our team FITS Dynasty, we will lock arms with you and show you the way. This is not a SCARY thing...it's a new, exciting life venture! The only way to fail is if you downright quit. But, think of all the ways this business could improve your life? It's worth trusting me and trusting the process to be able to live the way you want to live...trust me...I'm living it now. FREEDOM is worth the work.
9. How do I get Paid? How much Money does a Beachbody Coach make?
Well, that all depends. This business can be as little or as much as you'd like it to be depending on your effort and your drive to better yourself and others. In this business, your income is a reflection of the number of lives you change. I started with changing myself and started to inspire others. I felt changes in my own life, so it was only natural for me to want to pass this gift onto others. I knew I had found my passion and purpose, and I ran with this business.
If customers buy from you, you make 25% commission (About $30 per shakeology order and $50-$70 per challenge pack, and 25% for other products as well). Once you build a team of coaches, you make bonuses off of the volume they sell. This income becomes residual.So, in the beginning of my business, most of my $$ was made by retail sales to challengers. Then, it was my job to help them succeed within their challenge and get results. Once they get results, they are excited and their friends are interested in a challenge...I either receive referrals OR they become coaches themselves--which grows my team and grows my residual income.
My team bonuses started as $0 per week as a new coach. Now, I've been coaching for a little over a year and my team bonuses are the bulk of my paychecks. As my team grows and succeeds, my income grows. So, it’s my job to help my team succeed.
I know you will LOVE coaching if you’re ready to take a leap of faith, I’d love to help you start this new life venture :))
