When I think back to the woman that was stuck in her reality just seven short months ago it seems like a different lifetime. I was giving everything I had to the people I love and my job, with very little left over for me. I was uncomfortable in my clothes and refused to purchase a larger size because that was admitting defeat.
I was asked to join a challenge group revolving around a new workout program called Country Heat. I'd already purchased the program, because I was a fan of Beachbody. I wasn't good at remaining consistent and seeing the programs through. I decided to go all in with the workout, improved nutrition through Shakeology and the accountability group.
From day one...something clicked. I found the consistency I'd been missing for so many years. The Shakeology gave me energy and curbed my cravings as I worked to get my nutrition in check. Country Heat was the perfect program to get my 30 pound overweight body moving without hurting myself. The number on the scale started to move and I began feeling so much better!
I quickly decided I wanted to pay this forward and become a Beachbody Coach. I now help other women begin their journey to their healthiest, happiest selves while continuing my own journey. I've lost 20+ pounds and found a new purpose for my life. So...what does a day in the life of a Beachbody Coach look like? Here's a typical day for me...
4:30am Alarm goes off. I snooze twice...not once, not three times, but twice.
5:00am Dressed and ready to workout in my living room using Beachbody on Demand.
5:30am I spend 30 - 45 minutes inviting to my Challenge Groups, checking in with my current groups and preparing posts to share about my journey.
6:15am Get ready for work. Pack a healthy lunch and snacks for the day.
7:30am Prepare my Shakeology and head out the door to work. Listen to personal development on the way because you can't fill others from an empty cup!
8:30am - 5:30pm Handle whatever the day throws at me. As the Vice President of Property Management for a busy commercial real estate company, I've always referred to my job as a "professional problem solver." You never know what the fire drill will be for the day, but you always have to be ready to tackle it!
Noon Check in with the ladies in my Challenge Group and respond to messages while eating lunch.
6:00pm - 9:00pm Dinner and family time.
9:00pm Last Challenge Group check in of the day, reading and lights out by 10:00!
Do I make sacrifices to be a Beachbody Coach? Sure...I sacrifice 30 minutes of sleep in the morning to make sure I have enough time for a workout and business activities. I can't tell you the last time I watched TV. I used to love Grey's Anatomy. That time is now spent focusing on my Beachbody business.
Do the rewards out weigh the sacrifices? Absolutely...My time is spent intentionally now. I'm more productive in all areas of my life. The messages I receive from women changing their lives because I've introduced them to the Beachbody system (workout, nutrition and accountability) truly fills my heart.
How about the residual income? Yes, I have a great job that pays me well. However, as a single income family with three daughters at different stages in their lives (wedding, planning for college, dance tuition), and a house that was built in the 70's, there never seems to be enough for the extras. Beachbody has afforded me the opportunity to pay for my daughters nine day trip to Canada over the summer without figuring out how to squeeze those funds out of our regular budget.
As a Beachbody Coach I'm building a business in the pockets of time available in my day. I'm more fulfilled and happier as a result. What a blessing it's been to turn my passion into a paycheck! I'm building a team of coaches looking for something more. More purpose...more income...more freedom...
If this sounds like you, reach out to me and let's do this together. The rewards are there for the taking!
Living my purpose,
Sue
