Beachbody Coaching Is a Scam
HARDLY the Truth
I want to share with you the post that was written by one of our downline star diamond leaders named Missy Reber. She is a Personally sponsored coach under one of my coaches named Brigitte Linford. I have heard people from the day that I became a coach that they think Beachbody Coaching is a scam. I just have to chuckle at that fact because I have witnessed first hand THOUSANDS of weight loss and health transformations from my friends and family members. We teach that world class fitness+nutrition+accountability+ financial rewards are the foundation for success in a life long journey of health and fitness. I will share with you below just one life transformation of a friend that decided to become a Beachbody Coach.
Being VULNERABLE. Its a HARD Thing to do. (at least for me…and so says every personal development book I’ve poured into my brain) I have spent the last 18 months in a Battle….with my vulnerability. I didn’t like to show I shed tears, that I had weakness, bad days, bad mom moments, insecurities. I didnt like to OWN my issues. But guess what….that doesnt HELP anyone.
I am at a point in my life where I am learning that LIVING in a world dictated by what I PERCIEVE others might think about me…..is UNHEALTHY and NOT VERY FUN.
If you know me well….I’m kinda..well…Crazy. I am a total clutz, spaz, and a free spririt. Prone to HUG strangers and squeal in supermarkets over my favorite kind of peanutbutter being in stock. And..to my husbands everlasting shame….I try to sneak organic bluberries into the movies…instead of charleston chews.
But I am who I am….and I love who I am….so I”m gonna OWN IT. And I’m going to step out onto the Stage of my life…and ROCK IT!!!! And if I fall off..and you laugh at me…So be it. Its my way of SHINING.
Now here comes the story:
18 months ago I signed up to be a Beachbody coach…..because I LOVE THEIR PROGRAMS. They changed my life. They saved me from drowning in post partum anxiety and TOTAL FREAK out over losing baby weight and being “a perfect mom”
After baby #4 I had LOST IT…I was EXHAUSTED…and finding Beach body changed my life. So…I decided.
I decided that I was going to search for.. and LOVE and COACH every mom who would let me into her life!! I wanted to show other moms that THERE IS MORE THAN JUST BEING A MOM. YOU CAN BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOUR SELF…AND BE THE MOM. So I became a coach.
For 7 months I struggled…to reach what is the “standard” of Beachbody Success…we call it a DIAMOND COACH. I was AFRAID TO BE VULNERABLE. I was TERRIFIED of what people would think of me.
Exactly a YEAR ago …this week…..I had my time to shine. I became a DIAMOND COACH!! And I WOKE UP!!! I realized I was serving NO ONE by playing SMALL. So I GOT BRAVE….I believed….and I STARTED TO RUN.
I haven’t done anything that remarkably different than any other coach. In fact there are a LOT of other coaches with much higher ranks and incomes.
But what I DID do was pour my heart and soul into those I coached…and the coaches who joined my team RockIT.
It was NOT a convenient time for me to start a business…I already HAD a job as a nurse.
My husband was in his LAST year of and accelerated program in Pharmacy school. We rarely saw each other!! I had 4 kids…8 and under (who have the energy of a pack of monkeys. Really loud ones)
Last spring I spent 8 weeks with my husband in a different state…survived his graduation, him finding a new job in Oregon, moving our family, an EXTENDED summer with ALL my kids HOME in a 1200 sq foot house, selling our house in Utah…..It was CRAZY.
It was probably the MOST STRESSFUL YEAR OF MY LIFE.
I CRIED a LOT OF TEARS. LOST A LOT OF SLEEP….and PRAYED A LOT OF PRAYERS. But what I DIDNT DO….was give up.
And you know what happened??? MY BUISNESS STILL GREW …because I worked at it .
In fact I was so focused on getting through each day!! I hardly even noticed it!!. Until one day I realized that OUR FAMILY bank account was SO LOW…and we had to MOVE and pay RENT in Oregon and our mortgage in Utah…and feed the kids.
Where was that money going to come from??
And there it was….sitting my be “Beachbody Bank account”. With that money…that had accumulated over time…we were able to JUMP THE GAP between Graduation and my husbands FIRST PHARMACIST paycheck. It rescued my little family.
And I WAS SO GRATEFUL….so I went BACK TO WORK.
So NOW WHAT??? Now that my husband is getting PAID(hooray for no school) ….what do we do with the income?? WE paid off both our cars, our credit cards…everything!!!! All that’s left is his student loans (shoot me now) ….and we are SAVING LIKE MAD to buy our DREAM PROPERTY.
You know…A little farm where our kids can run free, be dirty, loud, and live the life we always imagined for them!!! And whats CRAZY??? Is that instead of having to save for 6 years to do that??? We are going to have that money in less than a year!!!!
THE DREAM IS ALIVE…..and its SO CLOSE…I can taste it.
I can hear the chickens, the puppy barking…I can see the muddy little boots all lined up in a row on the back porch. I can see the creek…the tire swing…the summer afternoons picking blackberries and making dandelion crowns watching the clouds roll by. I can SMELL the back yard campfire…taste the smores…and feel the warmth of the wood burning stove and my amazing husband sitting beside me.
All because I decided to TO GO OUT AND HELP PEOPLE. And I worked at it…with LOVE..everyday. I may not have done it as FAST or exactly like other coaches have…but I did it anyway.
Its just as the Bible says….. “By SMALL AND SIMPLE MEANS…GREAT THINGS are BROUGHT TO PASS”
Here’s the TRUTH. I finally listened to the voice that said ….You DESERVE to be successful. You DESERVE to change your life. AND YOU CAN!!! Being successful does NOT have to mean you are snobby or selfish (because that’s what I was afraid of..so says my subconscious)
I can be successful and use it to HELP people and to live a life of JOY and Peace and Freedom.
ITS OK to DREAM BIG!!! So…I’m going to do it.
Open your HEART to the IMPOSSIBLE…because you know what…ITS POSSIBLE. In fact…ITS ALREADY HAPPENING. You just have to REACH FOR IT.
So whatever your DREAM. DREAM IT…..and GO AFTER IT with everything that you’ve got. Even when life is HARD.
Work Hard. Pray hard. Have Faith. and Love EVERYONE.
Because if I can do it……ANYONE CAN. So whether you want to be a Beachbody coach….an actress…an Olympic swimmer…or an acrobat. DO IT. And DO IT NOW.
Step out onto the STAGE OF YOUR LIFE….AND OWN IT. Or as I like to say….be the ROCKSTAR of your OWN LIFE. For me that means…Be fit…Be the MOM…and ROCKIT.
Feeling BLESSED”
