Build A Business After Bedtime

Teaching Busy Women How To Build A Business 

Today I want to paint a little picture for you. It is a picture of how I got started being a Beachbody coach. I joined as a challenger, like most coaches do. I was a busy mom who wanted to get rid of a little bit of baby weight. Nothing drastic. More than anything I wanted to learn how to take care of me again. To make mom a priority and matter a little more than she had been at that time. I was busy balancing a full time teaching job, I was taking graduate classes for my master degree to be a principal, I had a two year old, a household to take care of and a husband who traveled for work very often. Momma was putting everyone first but herself. I knew it was finally "time." I hit my rock bottom moment the night of my son's second birthday party and I ordered my challenge pack the next morning. I wanted to change more than I wanted to stay the same so I went "all in." I started with the 21 day fix. I got awesome results and begin quickly telling everyone about it. Not because I was a coach at that point, simply because it really did work and really did make me feel better. I guess you could say I wanted to share the love. My coach noticed my sharing and planted the seed about becoming a coach myself. In my head I was laughing at her thinking yeah right, do you know how crazy my life is. I could never have time for something like this. But something inside of me whispered girl don't pass this up. You could be good at this.

So I slept on it for a few nights, did my homework on this "company" and this "business" and started to think it might be something I could do. You see I told you in the paragraph above that I was a teacher but I didn't tell you what kind.... I was a business teacher working towards a masters in leadership. That combo together seemed like a dynamite coaching formula. I loved business and I loved leading and helping others so I finally said WHY NOT. From day one though I decided if I was going to do it, I wanted to do it well. My only issue was, it was not my full time job and I only had "a few hours" a week that I could commit to growing the opportunity. What that meant was that I was going to have to learn to get good at multi-tasking and making lots of things happen in short periods of time. The good news is I was already a busy working mom. I had that mulit-tasking thing down. I just had a lot to learn about the business. I treated year one like an internship and observed as much as I possibly could.

I quickly began to learn the ropes and started to look forward to my evening hours of my second job. It felt weird to say "my second job" because in reality I didn't need a second job. I had a great one and so did my husband. We were living comfortably in a beautiful town and a brand new house we had just built. We were not struggling to pay bills or put groceries on the table but we were not ROLLING IN IT either. I was a teacher, making teachers pay. I was comfortable but didn't have much room for fun spending. To be honest, it wasn't the money I was chasing. Honestly it was just the new adventure that I seemed to be falling in love with. I suddenly had all of this passion that I never knew I was missing. The excitement of starting and growing something that was "mine" and that something happened to be rewarding me financially very well suddenly lit me up like a fire. 

It did not come without a hell of a lot of hard work.  I have worked to learn to get healthier and more fit and I have worked to learn not just how to run a business, but to lead a team and teach them how to duplicate my success. This business of mine was built around nap times, bedtimes and early dates with my alarm clock before I headed off to my teaching job. It took sacrifice and a love for what I was doing. But I am standing on the other side of success telling you it tastes pretty sweet and was worth all the sleepless nights I put in to get where I am today. 

Some question why I would want to be a coach but the reality is, I am a teacher. I always have been and I always will be no matter where my career takes me. My classroom looks different now, but I am still teaching. I love showing others how to do something. It is an amazing feeling teaching my challengers how to live a different life and make themselves a priority and I love teaching my team of coaches how to build their own little empire. That is what makes my heart full. I believe that life is too short to spend it not doing something you love, so if you have not found what it is that makes you shine then you should keep looking. It's out there and it's worth chasing.

If you are reading this and have been considering becoming one of my challengers or a coach on my team please reach out to me. I am about to begin two new training groups in February and would love to have you in my "class." One  of the groups would be to teach you how to run a business and one to teach you how to get healthy and fit. Pick your pair of shoes you want to wear, I can teach you how to run with this in either pair.

Just A Girl Who Decided To Go For It...

It's Time To Start Living The Life You Have Only Imagined 

The business of Beachbody coaching has allowed me the privilege to interact with many people on social media that I don't actually know in "real life". At first it was very difficult networking with so many "strangers" but I quickly learned that I loved the interactions and was able to form connections with many. I remember reaching out to one of my newest coaches Shianne this past winter. When I first started talking with her we had a great connection but she had zero interest in what I did as a Beachbody coach. She was and still is a gym lover to the core. She was already fit and seemed to have clean eating down.

 Most would see her and quickly move on to someone else who needed more guidance in getting healthy. But not me.... What I quickly learned about Shianne is that she has a CRAZY strong work ethic and works harder than ANYONE I know. I have no idea how on earth she does everything and still seems so put together, but she literally is like SuperWoman. She is working four jobs and seems to never stop. That in itself told me something about her. I knew from day one she would to whatever it was going to take to be successful and I wanted someone like her on my team.

To me I saw the Beachbody opportunity not as her saving grace for her health like it usually is the case for many. Rather to be her saving grace from the chaotic life she is living right now. She has a stunning little girl who I know she would love nothing more than to spend more time at home with her.

She is a dreamer wants big amazing things for her family. I have no doubt that she has what it takes to be successful in this business. I knew I had her golden ticket to a different lifestyle and I felt compelled to share it with her. Let me just say signing Shianne up as a coach on my team was not an easy thing to do. However, I saw my role as a business mentor too important to not continue to extend the offer. I knew that from a business perspective, I had the power to change not only her life but her entire families life so I stayed consistent and kept offering to take her under my wing. It wasn't until after she joined me for Super Saturday in Pittsburgh that she finally saw how much potential there was for her in this company. That evening she took the first steps towards creating something bigger than she could ever imagine for her family and signed up to be a coach. As I guessed, she has been a rock star from day one and is already helping so many of her own challengers  have amazing weight loss transformations.

Of course I had to share her own transformation with you. She did one round of the 21 day fix. As you can see, she was already fit but looks even more amazing now! 

Keep your eyes on this girl she's going straight to the top of this company. Just sit back and watch.

If you have been considering the Beachbody opportunity and would like to be mentored like I have been mentoring Shianne, please fill out the application below and I will be in touch within 24 hours.

Gearing Up For A New Opportunity - Time To Take A Leap Of Faith

"Just A Girl Who Decided To Go For It." 

My favorite time of the month is about to occur - my 5 day sneak peak into coaching week. I offer it once a month as I get ready to gear up and run a business boot camp for those looking to get started with the Beachbody business opportunity like I did. It's one of my favorite parts about this business because that is where my passion lies in teaching others how to run a successful business. This is essentially my dream job - This opportunity combines my love for business and my passion for leading. Truly I have never been happier in my career than I am now. It is what sparks me to the core. I am so glad that I stopped watching others become successful at this business and decided to say "why not me?" My college friend and now business mentor started coaching about a year and a half before I did. I watched her carefully and questioned the legitimacy of this business for many months. But then after awhile I started to see her becoming successful enough that she retired at 29 from her full time ER nurse job and she was also getting great results from a fitness perspective. I finally decided that she was no different than I was. So I started my own journey with the 21 day fix. I was hooked and became such a believer in the program. I immediately began to feel different - happier, more energized and supported. I knew I wanted to share with others what it had done for me so I began my own journey towards becoming a successful coach. 

I was scared at first because I worried what others would think of all of my posts on social media. I was nervous about inviting people to the opportunity and I was afraid I would not be successful but I decided to do it anyways.  I worked my business each evening in my pajamas after my son went to bed all while taking graduate classes and teaching full time and little by little a little became a lot and now here I stand today actually making the same income I do as a teacher just by doing this part time on the side. Never in a million years would I have guessed I really could make this work but I did it and it just keeps getting better and better. I won't sit here and tell you it's easy because it is not, I work really hard but I love what I do so it never feels like work. 

This diploma got me started and got my foot in the door for my first teaching job. Never in a million years did I think it would have been so helpful for this opportunity as well. 

I want to show you how to create a successful business and create some freedom for yourself and your family. Maybe your interested in adding a few hundred dollars a month to your bottom line for groceries, maybe your thinking about how your going to save some money for Christmas shopping, or maybe your in desperate need to turn your families financial situation around. I really can help you. While I can't want this for you more than you have to, I can give you all the tools and training to be successful. You will be in business for yourself but never by yourself. I will have your back every step of the way. I encourage you to fill out the application below and join me next week for the sneak peak. See if this is right for you and then we can go from there. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Beachbody Coaching - Why Not You Too?

Time To Go After Something That Could Change Your World

I know that some of you have been following me on social media and have noticed that the Beachbody coaching opportunity has been a big game changer for my life but also for my families. Some of you are silently watching in the background and I know the thought has come across your mind why not me too? If she can do it why couldn't I? I know that feeling because I had the same one. I watched my coach for many months before I got brave and decided I had what it took to be successful and I was not any different than her. If she could be successful maybe I could too. I took a leap of faith and it was the best decision I ever made. I never looked back. My world just got better and better. I became a new me. I was healthier, happier, more passionate and I also have become a bit wealthier in the process.

Because of this opportunity I have been lucky enough to be someone's saving grace when it comes to weight loss. I have taught women how to feel confident again in their own skin and how to love the body they were given. Not only does this opportunity give you the power to help others from a health and fitness stand point but I also now have the power to help people gain financial freedom for their family. This opportunity can be as big or small as you want it to be. Maybe you want to have some spending money, maybe grocery money or maybe even the opportunity to replace the income from your full time job. The cool part about this business is you are your own CEO. You decide what you want to make from it and the potential is limitless. The harder you work the better it gets.

Having too much fun in Nashville! - Flex Friday baby! 

A handful of the powerful women that I get to work with! This was taken in Nashville after a training. Hence my cowgirl boots ;) 

 I also have been able to grow on a personal level into a leadership role that I have always wanted to take on. The company has afforded me the opportunity to travel to Mexico all expenses paid, travel to Nashville for the coach summit event and also attend many Super Saturday trainings. Those opportunities have given me the chance to surround myself with the dreamers and the do-ers of the world. These people have taught me how to dream big and then go after it. They have shown me that I really can achieve a six figure income in a matter of a few short years because of this business. They are all proof that it is possible.

Having some fun at the last Super Saturday we had in Pittsburgh! It doesn't hurt to add that I am part of the number one team in the network and that the top coach Melanie Mitro is one of my business mentors!

You see I didn't set out with big goals like that but it just sort of happened. Then little by little a little became a lot and this month I finally am able to say that I have surpassed what I make in a month as a teacher just doing Beachbody on the side part time. I work my business 5 days a week when my son is in bed. I work from 8 - 11 pm each night in my pajamas. I do this because I know that if I am willing to work a few years like many won't I can spend the rest of my life living like others can only dream of and that to me is worth all the late nights.

Another thing that I have found in Beachbody is a sisterhood of friends and supporters. My team has become some of my best friends. Everyone is so supportive of each other and empowers one another to do better. We don't compete we push each other forward. It's a world of positivity and happiness. It's also a world that is focused on well being with exercise and healthy eating. From the outside looking in not everyone gets it, but from the inside looking out I question why anyone wouldn't want to be a part of this. Your crazy if you pass up this opportunity. I am so glad I pushed aside the doubt and just believed in myself. You should consider doing the same thing. Stop coming up with reasons why YOU can't do this and think of one reason why you can. I will teach you the ropes and get you trained. While you may be in business for yourself you will never be in business by yourself. I will be here coaching you along the way.

A few of my amazing coaches and I hanging out for some team bonding this summer! 

This week I will be offering a 5 day sneak peak into what coaching is. Thursday July 30th my team will host a business opportunity call and from there if you decide you want to go all in I will start a new business boot camp in early August for you to be a part of. Please email me or fill out the application below if you are interested in learning more.

Because honestly what do you have to lose? Why not you?

This was taken at Summit during our Super Workout - pretty amazing how many people have decided to jump at the opportunity. Maybe next year you could be among this crowd!

What Would You Do With An Extra $500 - $1,000.00 A Week?

Ever Dreamed Of Just A Bit More? 

Have you ever wished you had just a little bit more in your bank account for the fun stuff each week? I used to until I became a Beachbody coach. I live a great life, I really do - I live in a beautiful neighborhood in brand new house, my husband and I have great jobs and we truly have so many blessings. But I often found myself wishing for a tiny bit more each month... just for little stuff - I call it fun money! We had a pot of fun money each month but honestly I just wanted to have a little bit more fun.

I will be honest though, I  really did not go into this coaching opportunity for the income more so I just wanted a discount on my Shakeology. I knew if I just helped two people each month it would cover my cost of the product completely so that's where I started. Little did I know that I was slowing building my own little empire while I worked my business in my pajamas each night after my son went to bed. The income I am now making did not happen over night. It comes with hard work. I put lots and lots of hours into helping my clients with their weight loss journeys as well as helping mentoring and leading my coaches as they learn to build their own businesses. If you want to be successful in life you have to be willing to work harder than everyone else. So I told myself that day in and day out. Every night even when I didn't feel like it, I worked and worked and today - a year and a half later the magic is starting to happen. Although I shouldn't say magic, I should say hard work is paying off. There is nothing magical about success - you earn it. I am currently ranked 169 out of 300,000+ coaches in the network. That puts me in the top 1.5% in the company. While it's not top 10 like I want to be it's pretty darn good considering my circumstances. I did this all while working full time as a teacher, taking masters classes and being a wife and a momma! Life is busy but I know that if I keep working at the rate I am going I will be able to provide a lifestyle for my family that many can only dream of having.

Each week I am brining in between $600.00 - $1,000.00 on top of our families actual income from our jobs and each month that amount keeps growing and growing. This is money that I make without ever having to leave my home and I will be 100% honest with you - This is my passion! I love it! Every single minute of it. It allows me to combine two of my biggest interests (business and leadership) both what I have studied in college. Little did I know that starting my own fitness journey would lead me to my dream job! This opportunity has given me the freedom to work on the debt that we have, pay for dinners out, vacations,  trips to Starbucks and ULTA without it hurting the bottom line and many many many wonderful things for my son and our family. The opportunity has allowed me to not have to worry if I can afford something I want and to be able to enjoy fun little treats along the way in my life. Imagine what you could do with a little bit more each week in your bank account. 

So why am I writing this? It's not to brag - it's to show you that you can have this type of opportunity too no matter how busy you are. If you have been considering giving this coaching thing a try - it's time to say WHY NOT ME? It's time to step up to the plate. You really have nothing to lose. I will be offering a 5 day sneak peak into coaching next week to give you the opportunity to learn more about what I do.

Hosting my team call - even on vacation! Absolutely love my team of coaches! 

Please fill out the application below if you would like more information about the opportunity. 

But remember the dream is free but the hustle is sold separately. If you think you have what it takes then join me and my growing team of leaders. I promise you one heck of a ride.

When Opportunity Knocks... You Take It! - Beachbody Coaching

My Life As A Beachbody Coach…

In life sometimes when something so wonderful has landed on your lap the only right thing to do is to share. So, today I will share with you my journey of how I got started and what I actually do.

I started using the 21 day fix program in February when I was looking to lose a few more lbs and find a healthier approach to the foods I was feeding my family. I cooked often but I would not say they were all that healthy. In fact, my weekly meal plans usually looked like a Pinterest meal every evening, lots of fat and lots of comfort foods. I was reluctant to buy my challenge pack and spend money on the Shakeology. I was worried I would hate it and it would be a waste of money. However, I went for the investment in myself and bought it anyways. THANK GOODNESS I did. This was life changing for me. After completing a round of the 21-day fix I fell in love with the lifestyle and began to share my experience with anyone and everyone who would listen. I was like a walking infomercial for Beachbody, because I wanted everyone to feel as great as I did. That is when my coach suggested that I get into being a “coach” myself. I already have a full time teaching job and was extremely busy with grad school as well as being a wife and mother so my schedule was already very FULL. However I was enjoying this and decided to give the coaching experience a try anyways. After all you make time for what you want and excuses for what you don’t want.

I was enrolled in an online coach-training academy that did not cost me a dime and was given all of the tools that I needed to become my own CEO. The team that I am on is one of the top teams in the entire company and I am also fortunate enough to be mentored by some of the top 10 coaches out of the 200,000+ that are Beachbody coaches. Each day I am surrounded by men and women who want to teach me how to be successful and how to help me change the lives of everyone I come in contact with. I have never met a more positive group of people who are there to support you.

Each week I have optional weekly “coach calls” online that helps me keep up with the current news and happenings in the business. As well as celebrate weekly successes of the team. These weekly calls have become one of my favorite parts of my week. One of the best parts of these meetings is that that happen at night after my son is in bed and my “work day” has ended as a schoolteacher.

As a coach my job means that I host online accountability and support groups to help people learn to eat clean and lose weight. I check in with them daily and help to keep them on track. The other side of my job as a coach is that I mentor my group of leaders who have decided to join me on my team and learn to grow into a top coach. I teach them the ropes of the business and help them to develop their own team.

The beauty of this “job” is that your income potential is limitless. The harder you work, the more money you will make and the more success you will obtain. I went into this hoping to make enough to cover my Shakeology costs per month. That goal has since grown way beyond what I could have imagined and I now make close to my teachers income all while working from home on my computer in the evenings from my pajamas!! Not only is the income fantastic but the company also offers monthly rewards for sales. I have actually earned an all inclusive trip to Mexico for my husband and I this spring because of my hard work. 1 week to be surrounded by many other talented goal driven coaches - yes please! In addition, I have also earned a free ticket to the National Coach Summit this summer in Nashville. It is nice to be rewarded for hard work! I tell you this not to brag but to encourage you to give this a try too!

If you would like to learn more about creating an income for yourself or your family please allow me to mentor you. My background is in business education as well as leadership. Why not let me teach you how to be your own CEO and share my business expertise. If you love helping others and enjoy the health and fitness world, this could be for you. You don’t need to be at your goal weight or even have a business degree, you have just to want to try and give it your best effort. I'll show you the rest!
