Helping others - Team Beachbody Coach

Why I’m a Team Beachbody Coach

After experiencing life-changing results with the Power 90 workout program (see my transformation story), I wanted to pay it forward. I reveled in sharing my excitement with others. My hopes were that they would use the products, experience changes in their lives, and feel as good as I was feeling. I did this all even before I became a Team Beachbody Coach. I didn’t realize that in my journey to self-fulfillment and improvement, I would find a greater purpose of inspiring other moms.

When our first child was born, I left Corporate America and a 6 figure income to be a stay-at-home mom. My husband and I chose to live on one income and we had to make sacrifices to do so. It wasn’t easy, but this was the life we wanted, and we were willing to accept the trade-offs.

As a mom, I love hanging out with my kids, being involved in their classrooms at school, arranging play dates for my little ones and being social with other moms. However, once my kids got old enough to do preschool and social activities, I became the mom who had to say “no” to camps and other things because we simply couldn’t afford it. I didn’t want to be the “no” Mom – we can’t go out to dinner, we can’t go get ice cream, you can’t have those shoes. Of course the point isn’t to say “yes” all the time, but not ever having the option to say “yes” really weighed on me.

When I first became a Team Beachbody Coach, I knew I would get a personal discount and that I could earn money on the sales from the people I was inspiring. What I didn’t realize is that I would replace the full-time income I previously had, and then some, simply by sharing my joy and helping others.

How coaching changed my life

Ultimately, being a Team Beachbody Coach has provided Financial Freedom for me and my family. However, it all started with the personal satisfaction I get from helping others. I love to see people change their lives and realize their goals, it brings me so much joy. It is a wonderful feeling! My most treasured experiences as a coach are the stories of renewal and confidence I get to share about those that I’ve been able to help. My “job” is to help other moms rediscover their energy, build their confidence, improve their relationships and their lives. And I get paid to do this?!?! REALLY???

In the beginning, my income from being a Team Beachbody Coach meant I could purchase a pair of running shoes and get a guilt-pang that I was spending from the family budget on something for just me . Then my “side income” allowed me to help my kids be more active by creating some discretionary income that I could use to pay for dance class for my little girl, little league for my both of my sons and eventually allow my oldest to participate in travel soccer. These are luxuries we simply couldn’t afford before I brought an income to our family. And what a fantastic feeling to be able to say “yes” to something extra!

Over time the income has grown and allowed me to pay a car payment. When we purchased our new home 7 years ago, the housing market was plummeting and before we knew it we were stuck with our original house in addition to our new home. It was hard not to panic. This situation created a TON of stress for my husband and I, and put a tangible strain on our family.

Thankfully, I had grown my Beachbody income to be able to cover one of the house payments. We ended up having to put all my Beachbody income toward that unsold home for 12 months. But what a relief to have that ability. I look back with so much gratitude and thank Beachbody that we didn’t have to walk away from that home and suffer the long-term financial consequences.

This year I hit a milestone with Beachbody that I never even dreamed possible when I started. I’m delighted to share it with you, courtesy of my friend Beth who captured my induction into the Millionaire’s Club at the annual Beachbody Summit. It was such an awe-inspiring and humbling moment.

 

I wake up every day excited to go to “work.” Besides the fulfillment I get from creating cuccess stories for others, what I love most about my job is that I now get to say “yes” to my kids a lot more when it comes to activities, camps and other items that would have been beyond our previous family budget. We are able to travel together as a family of 6 and enjoy making incredible memories.

Is becoming a Team Beachbody Coach right for you?

Being a Team Beachbody Coach is for someone who…

  • wants a personal discount on Beachbody Products
  • wants to inspire and help their friends
  • uses Beachbody products and wants to get them for free
  • wants to create supplemental income
  • wants to create a 6-figure income helping others

Here’s a recording that will give you an idea of what being a Team Beachbody Coach is all about

What does it take to be a Team Beachbody Coach?

Technically, all it takes is a credit card and a $39.95 payment (this one-time sign up fee of $39.95 can be waived when you enroll with a product bundle package, called a Challenge Pack, that includes a month of Shakeology along with a full workout program of your choice). There is a $15.95 monthly fee that includes 3 websites, online shopping, product delivery, billing, customer service and a full online system to manage your business. But, what being a successful coach really takes is the DESIRE to inspire others and share what is working for you. Your willingness to share REAL LIFE struggles and accomplishments will make you a very successful coach.

Does this sound like something you want to learn more about? If so, I invite you to sign up to be a coaching apprentice.
