Teacher Leaves School to be Full-Time Beachbody Coach
Michele Harris
I want to share with you the story of my friend Michele Harris. I remember sitting with her this past December at a team retreat in Gatlinberg TN and talking about her goals and aspirations of taking her business to the next level and making this her sole income. This past week she resigned from the school district to be a full-time Beachbody Coach doing something that she is super passionate about. We really were able to relate on her goals of being more present in her children’s lives to the point where she could FEEL in her mind what it would be like to walk her kids to the school bus and be there for every moment of their lives. I’m inspired today as I read her message and story knowing that it started with a LOVE for the products, people, and process and then transitioned into hitting monthly goals while helping people live a healthier more fulfilling life. I am proud of you and excited to celebrate at Coach Summit in 5 weeks as you walk across the stage as a Success Club 10 All-star. I know that your story will inspire many others to take their Beachbody Coach business to the next level and become full-time Beachbody coaches as well.
“When I signed up to be a coach just over two years ago, I had NO CLUE just how much of an impact it would make on my life. I just knew I had a passion for health and fitness, and I wanted to help people. As time passed, I fell in love with making a difference in people’s lives and getting them started on their health and fitness journey. In the process, I have met some incredible people and I have grown so much as a person. I NEVER expected it to become what it has become for me today.
Over the past 8 months, I have realized a lot. My priorities have shifted a bit, so I set a pretty big goal for myself and for my family. Well this past week, that goal has become a REALITY for me. This week I handed in my resignation at my school. As of June 9th, I will be a FULL-TIME coach and I will be able to work from home!!! This decision was NOT EASY….I have wanted to be a teacher my entire life. I have loved my 10 years in the classroom. My students are amazing and I will miss my teacher friends so much!! But this is also an opportunity I could not pass up…an opportunity I NEVER thought was possible. An opportunity to build my own schedule and spend more time than I ever thought imaginable with my children.
Because of Beachbody, I will be able to take Jordan to the bus stop. I will be able to pick him up from the bus stop. I will be able to be a mom and volunteer in his school. I will be able to spend one-on-one time with Ashlyn that I’ve never really had. I will be able to do all of this while still doing something that I’m passionate about, building a business from home, and contributing to my family.
I believe my teaching and education background has brought me to this exact place in my life. I will still be teaching and educating…just in a different way than in an elementary classroom. I’m still going to do something that I absolutely LOVE to do!
Thank you to everyone who has helped me get to where I am today! I would not be here where I am today without my husband, my family, my team, and my friends. I am blessed with so many wonderful people in my life who whole-heartedly support me! I am so excited for the future of my family and of my team. I truly could not ask for more!!”
