How I Made Success With Beachbody!

When I came back from the founders meeting I actually was clueless about what this Beachbody thing was or how you made money at it. I knew a few things. The first was I wanted more for my family. The second was that I knew the integrity of Beachbody. The third was the risk was almost zero. Worse case scenario I got in a little better shape.

I went out and started talking to everybody and found out quickly that most people rejected the concept of networking to earn income. They actually had no problem with it until they found out I was earning an income from it. I said well preachers; teachers and police get paid for doing a good thing so why not me for helping stop the trend of obesity? I had a constant battle with fat and I knew that Beachbody was the real deal. I actually had people tell me I should be happy with working 9 to 5. My mother was the worse, she told me I was going to jail.

I sat in my classroom each day thinking about the other teachers with the count down clocks. You know the clocks that count down a date. Well a few teachers had them counting down to their retirement. I thought what a horrible thing. To count your life away,  just to get a Medicare retirement. I didn’t want to trade my time for money anymore. I didn’t want my kids to go without anymore. I wanted more. People have it why not me?

The plan…. I decided quickly I would put away everything else in my life. No more coaching sports, no more things that weren’t necessary.

I knew if I worked hard for a year I could have anything I wanted. I knew that because Carl Daikeler told me so!! Blind faith? No! I had bashed him before.  I have always been direct. Yet he still called me to the founders meeting. Years earlier (7) I had been one of the first transformation winners. I was a high school coach and took on the name Coach Couch AKA MadMack (For Madison & Mackenzie) on the message boards. I started getting about 6 hours of emails a day from customers and answering them (no, we didn’t get paid). I quickly became known in the community as just “Coach”. The community exploded!! I couldn’t handle the amount of emails I was getting it started hurting my personal life. I told Beachbody goodbye after two years of helping others.

I was an art teacher. I was not a salesman. I was not a person with a huge group of friends. I was just a normal guy. I had gained a lot of weight. I had earlier taken a short break from teaching and became a policeman where my diet was super bad.  I don’t know how close to 300lbs I was but I was getting there. So there I was a fat guy with zero experience at a fitness and health networking founders meeting. All because Carl, a CEO with a million things going on, hadn’t forgotten that I had reached out to help people earlier.

I talked to everyone with childish enthusiasm. I was excited! Did people want to see my checks? No! Because I didn’t say I was making money but I told them the possibilities. In fact when we launched there was zero commerce for the first, I believe, six months. I stilled signed up everyone I could, my sister, my wife, my boss, my financial planner and a few customers that Beachbody had given me.

I did it with confidence and excitement! Even though I usually had no idea what I was talking about. I had business cards and that was it. I became the first 2 star and 5 star coach for Beachbody.

Everyday I talked Beachbody that is the secret. The most powerful marketing tool is free. It’s your mouth!

I quickly grouped 4 other coaches together and we started to bounce ideas off each other. We also created group presentations together. We created a team. We exploded! We became one of the 100 fastest growing business’s in the United States according to Forbes. My team was the biggest in the company. Now for the tricky part, TeamBeachBody AKA MillionDollarBody was in its infancy. It had expected growing pains. So many things were wrong with the technology and other systems had to be tuned in.

I believe this year was our real birth. Everything is smooth and with massive investment in the infrastructure things are super smooth. The product development of Shakeology is blowing away the market. The tools are in place and it is ground floor for everyone right now.

I believe my wife and I made 6 figures around the 6-month mark and 7 around the 1.5 year mark. Remember this was all by me being excited and talking to everyone. This was with no main network product and things that didn’t always work. I had no real Beachbody tools and very little support except for what I demanded.

This may sound strange but I would have rather gotten in right now then a few years ago. I would have grown faster without the pain.

I knew getting in this; it would be no speed race to getting it right. Carl always works things through smoothly when the rest of us our panicking.  Carl has built a company that’s going to be around a very longtime.

So if you’re a new coach or thinking about becoming a coach you are getting in at the perfect time.  The skill you need is to be able to talk about Beachbody everyday. The tool you need is the commit to put other things on hold just for a bit until you create the luxury and freedom to give you and your family the things you want in life.  You have more tools than I did when I started. I have or had nothing that you don’t. You can do this! Put the excuses aside. Everyday! If you do that then you can have, as Mark Twain said, “Free will all over your life”.

13 Principles of Wealth

American self-help writer Napoleon Hill (1883-...
Image via Wikipedia

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, a summary of the 13 principles

Napoleon Hill’s masterpiece is an outstanding book which has become a classic and reveals the money making secrets which made fortunes.

This book contains the secret which has been put into practice by thousands of successful people, in almost every walk of life.

There are 13 principles of money making essential to every person wants to achieve success in life and financial freedom.

Since then others have taken these ideas here further.

People like Anthony Robbins, John Demartini, Deepak Chopra and many others have taken similar principles to new levels and made them widely known to the general public.

The internet has also helped to spread the message around the globe to many millions.

Napoleon Hill was coached and inspired by Andrew Carnegie (1835 – 1919).

The principles were gathered from the life experiences of more than 500 men who accumulated riches in huge amounts.

Most of these men began in poverty, with little formal education, real life rags to riches stories.

The 13 principles worked for these men. You can use them to work for your own lasting benefit.

To summarise the 13 principles in Napoleon Hill’s book:

1.  Desire – You have to have a desire for success. The is the starting point on which all riches are built.

2.  Faith – The visualization and belief that you will attain your desire

3.  Auto Suggestion – The repeating of your desires twice daily to program it into your subconscious mind

4.  Specialized Knowledge – Specific knowledge of the service, merchandise, or profession that you intend to offer in return for the success that you desire

5.  Imagination – using your creative imagination to come up with new or better ways of doing things

6.  Organized Planning – A clear and concise plan to obtain your burning desire, turn your desire into positive action

7.  Decision – Leaders make decisions quickly and are very slow to change them.  Procrastination, the opposite of Decision, is a common enemy which practically every man must conquer.

8.  Persistence – You must persist without exception. Keep on going at all costs.

9.  Power of the Master Mind – You will never know everything, so you must find other people of a similar persuasion to mix with. This will help you to develop new and creative ideas. Stick with the winners, some of their success and positive attitude will rub off onto you. The company you keep will influence you.

10.The mystery of Sex Transmutation – Sex is the strongest human desire. The ability to transmute the desire for sex into other productive activities.

11.The Subconscious Mind – This is the process of controlling your subconscious mind through auto-suggestion and positive thinking. The subconscious mind works day and night even while we are asleep.

12.The Brain – The human brain is like a radio station, a transmitter and receiver to the cosmos or universal intelligence. The works of Deepak Chopra will explain this in more detail.

13.The Sixth Sense – The medium of contact between the mind of man and Infinite Intelligence, a mixture of both the mental and the spiritual.

Success comes to those who become success conscious.

Failure comes to those who allow themselves to become failure conscious.

You have to learn how to change your mind from failure consciousness to success consciousness.

This power does not discriminate between destructive thoughts and constructive thoughts. It will translate into physical reality.

Thoughts of failure and poverty work just as effectively and quickly as thoughts of success and wealth.

One of the tricks of opportunity is that it has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often it comes disguised in the form of

temporary defeat. This could be why so many of us fail to recognize opportunity.

One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.

Most people have made this mistake at one time or another. That is a lesson of life.

Of more than 500 of the most successful men the United States has ever known, most told Napoleon Hill that their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which they believed defeat had beaten them.

Do not give up, sometimes success is just around the corner.

MLM Icky!

My first introduction to Multi Level Marketing came years ago when my wife was a new mother and had met a lady who befriended her quickly. They talked on the phone for a few weeks and my wife was happy she had a new girlfriend. We had friends but not many were married. So finding a new friend that you clicked with was a treasure.  The new friend “Susie” called and asked us to dinner.  We went and expected to have a good time and did until the middle of dinner.  She then went into a rehearsed speech on her MLM and how we were basically idiots for not wanting to fill our garage full of crap we didn’t need. She soon started to put down my profession as a teacher and tried to strong-arm us into joining her business. I was so mad. I didn’t even know what an MLM was but I knew it was for yucky people. For years I had a bitter taste in my mouth.

Many years later Carl Diakeler called me and asked me to join his MLM and I did not hesitate. I said, “sure thing”. I knew Carl was a straight shooter and whatever he had planned it was not going to be cheesy.

The funny thing was when we went to the Founders meeting and there was a room full of networkers.  I said to my wife, “yuck cheesy people”. Who would have known in a very short time I would become a very successful networker.

The BIG difference was the vision to help people. I didn’t know a MLM could just be a good thing. Word of mouth helping people better their lives.  I was a teacher, cop, and EMT and had helped people all my life but those are very tough jobs and my family sacrificed.

I was able to help people through Beachbody and man did I get paid.  I always used to think that I wished the pseudo friends wouldn’t have turned me off years ago because I would had jumped into multi level marketing sooner. Then I realize no I wouldn’t have because there has never been a company like Beachbody.

Even though I no longer work and live a very luxurious life, I choose to spend my free time helping others with Carl’s vision.  I want others to experience what I have. No icky here!

The $600.00 “WHY”!

We all are looking for something in our lives to fulfill our dreams or just solve a current problem. My current problem was my wife’s car. It was in bad shape but had served its purpose. The car had taken the abuse of three kids for many years. Now all I needed was about $600.00 more a month so we could get something more current and that wasn’t going to be a mechanical nightmare or financial burden. But $600.00 a month is a lot of money when you’re a teacher. I thought of ways to cut back on spending but the bottom line is we had to have money to eat! Then Beachbody came a long and I said to myself if I could only make $600.00 a month that would be life changing. So I went for it! It was tough at first because dealing with the negatives of people who can’t think outside the box is tough on a person especially a sanguine personality type like myself.

Sure enough my faith in a company and myself paid off. I was soon making that $600 but I was doing it every week not every month. I told my wife this is to good to be true. Let’s wait to see if it is real before we get in deep with a car note. Well the money kept getting bigger and then the reality sunk in! I soon had a fleet of ten cars and trucks.

I was even able to let go of a very secure day job.  Now I live a life that most dream about.

I took a small risk, I focused, I believed and it happened. Now my “why” is to help other people share and know my freedom. I teach people my business and help them with their success. To give them their time and freedom back that’s my “why”. Yes I am retired but I work full time helping people achieve their dreams! ….that’s cool!

Black Sheep Beachbody

Tony Horton gave me a hat with a black sheep on it while we were in Hawaii. That was cool, and he did not know this, but people who know me had called me the black sheep of Beachbody for a long time. I took it as an honor. I have had great success with Beachbody.

Now I am firing back. It looks like Beachbody is the black sheep in the business world. The company is not just fitting in with the flock. Beachbody is doing it different and it’s incredible!

I was reading an article by Patricia Schaefer, The Seven Pitfalls of Business Failure, and she is so on the money except when it comes to Beachbody!

The pitfalls as listed by Schaefer and my response to each.

1. You start your business for the wrong reasons.
“Would the sole reason you would be starting your own business be that you would want to make a lot of money? Do you think that if you had your own business that you’d have more time with your family? Or maybe that you wouldn’t have to answer to anyone else? If so, you’d better think again.”

Why did I become a Beachbody coach? I wanted more money, time with my family and no boss! I also loved the fact I could get paid by helping others.  As a teacher, police officer and EMT I always helped people but I was rarely able to help my family or myself because I could barely cut the bills.

2. Poor Management

I know I stink at overall management but Beachbody has a great team for this. Beachbody trains coaches on how to manage their business. I am the CEO of my Beachbody business but Corporate Beachbody outlines it for me. All a coach has to do is take action!

3. Insufficient Capital

Most companies take a year or two to get going.

With focus and action a Beachbody coach should be rocking it out in a few months.

4. Location, Location, Location

Not a factor at all for us. The web and Beachbodies television marketing is all we need! Your house is a great location!!!

5. Lack of Planning

The plans in place all you need is a goal!!! Making your dreams come true is your plan!

6. Over expansion

With Beachbody your company can’t expand too fast!

7. No Website

Beachbody gives you three!

All of the above pitfalls are true for most businesses. Not for Beachbody, a hybrid company. Independent Beachbody coaches don’t risk our homes or are savings. We don’t put it all on the line to try to better our lives. We actually have no risk since Beachbody guarantees satisfaction within the first 30 days.

Being the black sheep can be pretty cool and rewarding! Not only for the black sheep but anyone else who takes the chance of stepping out of the heard!

Be the black sheep! You can obtain your dreams! What’s the risk? The rewards are great!
