A while back, I was enjoying dinner with some family when the conversation shifted to Beachbody. I never set out to be a health and fitness coach, but you know, sometimes it's those unplanned leaps of faith, those little follow-your-heart moments that open doors and lead you something greater. I wanted my family to know that everything they thought about Beachbody, all the misconceptions, all the selfies and endless Facebook posts were for a reason. I enjoy helping people. But then it hit me, they really have no idea what exactly I do, who it is that I'm serving and how in the world I make money. I post my workouts every day, I share health and fitness tips online, I reach out to my challengers to make sure they are on track with their goals, and I have built a team of coaches who I inspire to do the very same things - so how in the world doesn't my own family "get it."

They don't understand because the one thing I never shared, until tonight, was how Beachbody coaching is making such a big impact in my life. So here's the scoop on how I (one of the most unhealthy, unfit, and under motivated people you will ever me) became a successful Beachbody coach and earn income working from home.

Okay, let me rewind for a minute… I started using Beachbody fitness programs shortly after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I was in my forties, I was a busy mom, and until that point in my life, my health and fitness was not a priority. So when I was advised by my doctor to lose weight, modify my diet and exercise every day to build up my strength, I had no idea where to start.

I researched all kinds of options, like gym memberships, support groups, personal trainers, and fitness classes, and finally decided that Beachbody was the best option that fit into my budget and my busy lifestyle. At the time, $140 sounded like a lot of money to pay for a 30-day fitness and nutrition program, but it turned out to be a small price to pay to improve my health - for good! After that first 30-days I looked and felt better so I kept going. After 60 and then 90-days, I felt like a completely different person so it became my lifestyle.

About 6 months passed when we were watching TV with the kids one night and a 21 Day Fix infomercial came on. My husband, who's known for his sarcastic sense of humor, turned to me and said "You should do that. You should be a Beachbody coach." The kids all thought it was a joke, but this time he was totally serious. I had great results with 21 Day Fix, the kids were going back to school, and he saw an opportunity for me to turn my fitness into a business. Turns out he was absolutely right. Coaching became a way for me to work from home, and to reach out and help other people transform their health and fitness.

My kids now know that this is no laughing matter. When they go off to school they know I am hard at work and 100% focused on helping people, whether it's with fitness or in building a business. And they know that it's every bit as important to our family as my husband's job. I like the fact that the kids see us working together to work things out for our family. We can afford some luxuries that we used to sacrifice, and I no longer feel like I'm adding to the burden.

Curious? Here are 14 Tips to help anyone become a rock star Beachbody coach:

:

1. Hard work. Beachbody coaching is not a get rich quick business. It requires some effort. But the key is to stay organized and have a good system to keep things running smoothly and efficiently. Our team of coaches have already gone through the the growing pains and have developed a business model that future coaches can easily duplicate.
2. Be affiliated with a much larger team of coaches who already has already has an online training academy and business tools in place so you can have your business up and running on day 1!
3. Choose your own path. You can become a discount coach who simply enrolls to take advantage of a 25% savings on the products you use. Or you can coach part time (1-2 hours a day) to supplement you income, or you can go all in as an entrepreneur and build your business for financial freedom. It's your choice.
4. Be a product of the product. Workout every day and drink Shakeology, and make sure other people know that. Tell your story. Post about your struggles and accomplishments, and let the world follow your journey! Your transformation will inspire others to make their health a priority.
5. Be social media savvy. Unlike other businesses with big marketing budgets, you can reach masses people exclusively through social media, and it's completely free. 
6. Have no fear, there's very little risk. There's little overhead other than an internet connection and some office supplies.
7. No need for an office or fancy home gym. Your office goes where you go. Most coaches will tell you they work right from their kitchen, or on their deck or even working from the car while waiting at the bus stop. 
8. Host monthly challenge groups. A challenge group is an private online support group where people can go for accountability and support, health and nutrition advice, and guidance on making it though the first 30, 60 or 90 days of their health and fitness journey. Challenge groups are perfect for beginners and people are new to fitness and need some help transitioning into a new healthy lifestyle.
9. Reach out. Stay in touch with people even after they have completed their challenge to make sure they are staying on track with their health and fitness.
10. Build your tribe. Before long you will established a team of coaches who you can personally mentor and inspire to help others. It's personally rewarding to help others build a business and a life that they once dreamed of. You'll earn bonuses by helping them succeed.
11. Help other people. Every time someone enrolls in a challenge group and purchases a challenge pack (with all the tools they need to complete their first 30, 60 or 90 days) Beachbody pays you, their coach, a 25% commission.
12. Enjoy the perks. Receive a 25% discount on products that you buy for personal use.
13. And the bonuses. Receive incentives like products, apparel, and even trips (that include your family) for reaching goals every month.
14. Flex time. Work as much or as little as you choose. Your family can remain your #1 priority and you can set your schedule around them.
15. Look & feel young & healthy. Its the biggest reward of all! The people who you reach out to will help you stay accountable too.

Becoming a Beachbody coach is easier than you think. It doesn't require a lot of time or money. You can get started today for as little as $40. You simply have to make your own health and fitness a priority and have the desire to help others do the same. When you become happier, healthier and stronger it will show. Your new lifestyle will become contagious and suddenly everyone who doubted you will understand why you started.

Never be afraid to shoot for the stars!

If you're a parent, you can probably relate to how frustrating it is to have to have to make sacrifices when you want the most for your family. Each year, for 12 years, when other families went on vacations, we kept telling our kids "maybe next year." That was just the price we paid so I could be a stay-at-home mom. I wanted to change that more than anything. I looked for ways to work from home so I could care for my family and earn some money too. I kid you not, I tried 8 different home based business before I finally landed on something that felt right.

I love helping people solve problems. Becoming a Beachbody coach was a way for me to do that, and in 2 short years I have pushed to make it work and supplement our income so we don't have to make those kinds of sacrifices any more. My husband and kids couldn't be more supportive. When they go off to work and school they know I am hard at work and 100% focused on helping people, whether it's with fitness or in building a business. And it's so rewarding for me to be able to work from home and to finally afford a dream vacation for our family every year.

What The Heck Was I Thinking?

That's right, what the heck was I thinking last year when I decided to become a Beachbody coach?
Well, I was thinking that my husband was crazy. No, not for marrying me, but for suggesting that I become a Beachbody coach! Although I was having some success with the programs, I certainly hadn't reached my goal, I'm not athletic, I'm not a personal trainer or even a fitness instructor. I'm just a stay-at-home mom who used Beachbody programs and Shakeology to bounce back after being diagnosed with rheumatoiid arthritis. But I guess he saw something in me that I did not even see in myself - potential and opportunity. I had the potential to inspire others from my own journey and I had the opportunity to make it a business and help supplement our income.

I decided to take his advice (for once, and only once!) and signed up. I created this blog, kept doing what I'm doing - working out to my favorite Beachbody fitness programs and the rest is history. Next month marks my one year anniversary as a coach and as I reflect back on what I've accomplished and the people I have helped, I can honestly say that becoming a Beachbody coach changed my life, maybe even saved my life, and it just keep getting better!

So now that I know I'm not crazy, here are the top 10 reasons why I love being a Beachbody coach:

1. Allows me time and flexibility to spend time with my family. I can schedule my work around family commitments and work as much or as little as I want.
2. I stay accountable. Helping people just like you and me reach their health and fitness goals not only helps them but it helps me stay accountable too. For me, staying healthy isn't just a wish, it's a necessity. Staying fit is the best defense I have against my disease and I make sure I maintain a relationship with my clients every day. It's a win-win for all of us!
3. I formed friendships with other coaches and challengers. This is one of those rare business opportunities where there really isn't much competition. I belong to a much larger team of coaches and we work together and support each other 100 percent! Not to brag, but this team I'm a part of, the Dream Team, is currently the #1 team in all of Beachbody! I'd love for you to join us!
4. No commute. I work from home, from my desk or my kitchen or the comfort of my couch. It's convenient and comfortable!
5. Able to be a Beachbody coach and pursue another career. When I decided to become a coach I did it with the understanding that I would not give up my other job. 2 years ago, I started my own online travel agency that I am very proud of. This was my life's dream and embarking on it was a long time in the making. One disadvantage of the travel business is that income is not steady. Beachbody pays weekly and it is a comfort knowing that I can count on some extra cash in my account each week.
6. I help people, I'm not a salesperson. My job is to inspire, help and motivate other people to reach their health and fitness goals just like I did. My clients (called challengers) do not pay me a dime for my services, Beachbody does that. My job is to provide the added service, daily accountability and 1:1 support to make sure everyone completes their program and does not fail! 
7. I reach people through social media. There's no cold calling or pressuring my family and friends. I connect with challengers through social media every day. Many of them I have never met, but we workout and cheer each other, exchange tips and advice, and keep each other accountable. It's pretty amazing, but these lasting friendships are formed by keeping in touch online. 
8. Support and training are online 24/7. Beachbody has a pretty amazing network of coaches and trainers available to provide continuous training and support. Online focus groups and New Coach University are just a couple of ways that Beachbody provides ongoing training.
9. I love the discount & the perks! Saving 25% on all the products I love was a good enough reason for me to become a coach! In fact 85% of Beachbody's 350,000 coaches in the US and Canada are what we call a "discount coach," people who sign up as a coach because they are happy with the products and want to take advantage of a savings. But for those of us who do decide to pursue coaching as a business there are lots of perks like monthly prizes, cash incentives and the chance to earn company sponsored trips that you and your family can enjoy!
10. I had nothing to lose. It costs $40 to become a coach. That's it! You don't have to buy any inventory and you get paid to get fit. I recouped that fee in my first month as a coach. One year later, my team is growing and so are my earnings. Even though I'm working as a coach just a coupe hours a day, my earnings are helping to pay for things like piano lessons, school clothes, Christmas gifts and this year's vacation. It's a challenge, it's exciting and the potential is limitless!

You don't have to have any experience in fitness or nutrition. All training is provided for you at no additional coast. You don't even need to wait to complete your own health and fitness journey.

"The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there"

 ~ Vince Lombardi

I was very lucky to have been able to stay at home while my kids we're young. My husband and I made the decision to put the needs of our family first and because of that we both made sacrifices. I gave up a corporate job that I loved and he took on the added work load and stress to provide for our family. It was very hard for both of us but, at the same time, we wouldn't have traded the last 17 years for anything in the world.

Okay, let's rewind for a minute...

When I met Bill, my husband, I had the the life I dreamed of. I was 23 and young, wild and free. I had a great job and was making a lot of money. I bought a sports car, I could travel wherever and whenever I wanted. I had no intention of getting married, having kids or giving up my freedom. That was too important to me.

"When you put unimportant things first, the important people in your life suffer the most" ~Brenda Ajay

Just 2 years later, as I found myself walking down the aisle, I remember thinking - I made the right choice. I love Bill and being married doesn't mean I have to give up a single thing. Truth be told, we both made a lot of sacrifices. "My life" became "Our lives" and I quickly learned the 90/10 rule.

"Marriage is not 50/50 but rather 90/10. The trick is knowing when it's your turn to be 90 and your turn to be 10." ~ unknown

I took a big leap of faith when I married Bill, and an even bigger jump when I became a mother to my 3 beautiful, happy, healthy and smart kids. And the journey has been both challenging and rewarding. And as kids grow - they're now 17, 16 and 11 - so do expenses! Music lessons, sports equipment, gymnastics, clothes, car insurance...college!

Something's got to give...

As time passed and pressure mounted, we both began feeling the stress of keeping up with the needs of our family. I had recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and my illness only added to the burden. Medical bills piled up, I was sick and tired all the time and things got very hard for us both personally and financially. Bill, inspired by his love of working out and Beachbody fitness programs, thought it would be a good idea for me to become a Beachbody coach. I thought he was crazy! Couldn't he see how sick I was? I had gained 60 pounds and I couldn't even raise my arms about my head much less work out - No Way! But I'll admit I was curious about it. I started following some blogs from Beachbody trainers like Chalene Johnson and Autumn Calabrese, and Beachbody coaches like Melanie Mitro and Jenelle Summers. I was interested in clean eating as a way to manage my RA and found their information very helpful. Slowly, one-day-at-a-time, I began feeling better, fitter and stronger just from clean eating. Once I got the RA under control, my doctor suggested I begin a fitness program. So I decided to give Beachbody's 21 Day Fix a try. The program was a great way for me to get into fitness. It was everything Beachbody promised, offering simple fitness, simple meal planning and lots of support. I went on to do P90 and joined my first challenge group with the help of my coach, Melanie Mitro. The challenge group was such a great experience. I met some new friends, lost weight, got a lot stronger and also enjoyed learning about Melanie's life as a coach. She was very passionate about her job and enjoys helping people and as we came to know each other, she invited me to become a coach. She pointed out the same things Bill had been saying all along and encouraged me to inspire others with my success. Once again, I found myself saying - No Way!

I almost passed up on an opportunity of a lifetime. But instead I took another giant leap of faith. I decided to become a Beachbody coach because I believed I could help other people. I wanted to help contribute to our family's income; I wanted to help other people become happy, healthy and strong; and I wanted to keep reaching for new goals.

Help Wanted:

Now I'm looking for one person who can help me reach my goals. I know you're there....yes, you! Are you waiting for a sign? This is is. I want to help you because I know you will help others. I'm on a mission to help as many people as I can become happy, healthy and strong, but I can't do it alone. This can be YOUR opportunity of a lifetime. Become a part of a growing company, take advantage of a killer discount of lots of health and fitness, and beauty products, and you can earn money while getting in the best shape of your life. I know how hard it is to take that first step. I walked into this journey weighting 200 pounds - just climbing a flight of stairs was a struggle! I did all this while managing a busy schedule with three kids and working a part time job outside of the home. I thought it was impossible. If I can do it, anyone can! Do you like helping people? Do you want to work from home? Do you want to have fun (and believe me we have a lot of fun!) while earning money? Then you are the one I am looking for. Ready - Go!
