Controlled Chaos



Don't let these faces fool you. I wish I had a camera in my house to show what goes on while I am not there. The lab Dakota is the sneakiest dog of all time. She is never allowed on the coach, the bed, or any furniture. Yet every single day when I leave the house she jumps on the bed and sleeps on it alllll day. Never fail when I come home I go in the room and feel the bed and its warm from her body. There is an inprint of where she sleeps every day. The thing is she knows better, as soon as I say DAKOTA and point to the bed, her head goes down and she hides. Silly dogs.
Now for the little one... Gracey! She is my everything. She is my oldest girl and my blessed jewel. She doesn't do anything wrong. What a complete angel. When she was younger she chewed through a few of my shoes and swimsuits, but nothing major. What I would give to see what these two monsters really do all day.
Dakota: Thanks for keeping the bed warm for me...
Gracey: Thanks for keeping my slippers warm for me....

A little PEP

Hello Blog world!


Do you find yourself looking in the mirror and criticizing yourself constantly? Either you are too short, too big, too small, wish you looked like her or him, not good enough! Well I am telling you now to stop! Stop criticizing yourself. If you do not want others to criticize you then do not do it to yourself. There are so many people who are consumed with trying to live up to a certain image and they forget to live for themselves. When the day comes that you look in the mirror and are proud and satisfied for what you have, you will live a whole different life and have a whole different attitude. If you are over weight or unhappy about something then change it. You only live once and only have one body, so make it the best it can be and be HAPPY!

Halloween


Happy Halloween Everyone!


Hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween. I went to a great Halloween party over the weeekend and had a great time with all my favorite people and some of my best friends! After Halloween, it's back to the healthy diet and no more candy. I'm not sure if my shakeology mixed with all my favorite candy has done me any good? At least I'm getting my vitamins :o)

I CHALLENGE YOU!



Hello Everyone!


I am getting ready to start another challenge group. This group will consist of 5 people. ... All working out, STARTING ON THE SAME DAY...THEY WOULD ALL BE REPLACING ONE MEAL A DAY WITH SHAKEOLOGY (& yes, if you do not have Shakeology, that would mean you would have to be willing to invest in it... because if I am going to invest my time in working with you one on one... I need to know that you are willing to invest in your own health first!)
 The challenge is the Shakeology HD Challenge.
It is simple- Replace one meal each day with a shakeology, workout 3 times a week to the 2 included shakeology videos and check in daily with me on your progress.


The key is success is consistency, proper nutrition & accountability! This isn’t about being perfect- it’s about learning how to live your best life! If diet/nutrition is something you struggle with, the Team Beachbody Club Membership is PERFECT for you. It customizes a meal plan for you based on your body, workouts and preferences and allows you to print out a grocery list. It’s almost too easy!


If you have not already, you will need to officially sign up to have me as your coach by going to : www.teambeachbody.com/mylittlefitclub and click join and register for your free account. You will also order your shakeology HD hrere under shop.


Together the 6 of us would begin our 30 day journey.


This IS a commitment.. ON MY PART and YOURS... Hence why I said that the people selected would NEED TO BE READY to SERIOUSLY change their lives! But I do believe it could be something that will not only make me a better coach for having gone through it... but will leave 5 people COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED at the end!!


If you would like to be considered and are willing to make ALL the commitments abov, then... what are you waiting for??? Write me back,  RIGHT NOW and tell me that you want in this group!!!


This challenge will start Monday November 14th.
I look forward to another great challenge!!

Coaching Opportunities

If I told you that you could change your life, starting right now, make more money and get into great shape, all while reaching out to others to help them do the same, is there any reason under the sun you wouldn't do it? That's essentially what you do, in a nutshell, when you sign on as an Independent Team Beachbody Coach. You immediately have the support of your upline sponsor, your coach, who will help you, along with the support from Team Beachbody, to build a business to a level that will eventually allow you, if you chose to do so, make that your full-time job. You can start building your business while still working at your current full-time job, or as a full-time student, or whatever else you have going on in your life that takes up the majority of your time.
If you are looking for something to take you out of the nine to five grind every day, or a way to find more time to spend with your family or on what you enjoy in life, or a way to make a wonderful income, then I'm telling you, if you don't at least check out the possibilities, you'll never know what you might have been able to do. What possible harm is there in taking a look at this business? If you decide, "Hey, that's not for me," then at least you'll be making an informed decision.
 How you can make money with this industry:


Beachbody is a company that sells WELL known fitness products, supplements, and fitness supplies. they sell programs such as P90X, INSANITY, Brazil Butt Lift, Hip Hop Abs, etc. Until recently, this was all Beachbody was, then they released Beachbody Revolution.


Beachbody Revolution is a program the company created to get you in on their profits. What you can do is become a coach. A coach educates people on how to get healthy and start their own Beachbody business. One unique thing about Beachbody is that you lose weight and get fit while you make money. Usually, it is the other way around and you spend a TON of money while trying to lose weight.


What is involved with being a Coach?


4Coaching for Team Beachbody can be a fun and rewarding experience. Once you sign up you can immediately start learning what to do. As soon as you register you will have access to all kinds of training videos and one-on-one training from your sponsor coach. Your sponser coach is the coach you sign up under and is the one who will help you get started and answer any questions you may have. The next step is to get coaches of your own.


This is another great part about Beachbody, they not only give you all sorts of marketing tools but they spend millions of dollars every year on advertising. People all over the country see Beachbody infomercials every day. The other great part is that they have well known successful products which already have GREAT reputations.


What do "Coaches" do?

1) Commit to a fitness and nutrition program (at 25% discount)
2) Keep track of my progress and share it with others
3) Get others to join me and hold each other accountable
4) Sign them up as coaches so they can spread the news just as I have done
5) Help my personally sponsored coaches build their business


How do I make money with this?
tbb_coach_photo
Once you become a coach, you should immediately start learning the ropes of Beachbody. When you figure it all out you begin telling you story, "planting your seed," and marketing yourself and your products. Start spreading the word throughout your own circle of family and friends and eventually expanding it through the internet.
1) Commission: Getting someone started on their weight loss journey, through a Beachbody product and/or supplement
2) Recruiting: Get others to join your team and help people fight obesity (in HUGE numbers it pays off... physically and financially). The way to make the most money is by getting active coaches under you. In order to become and remain an active coach, you have to have at least 50 PV (Personal Volume: personal purchase points) in one month. After you recruit two personally sponsored coaches underneath you, you become an Emerald coach and Beachbody will begin sending you "leads" or customers. The customers will then buy Beachbody products through you coachpersonal site and you earn a commission off of the sale. The two coaches you have under you will also start recruiting coaches under them and so on. This makes your potential to earn money almost infinite. The best part is, every single purchase made by a customer or coach under you will send the profits trickling back up to you. This means that you will get a commission on every single sale by you or by a coach sponsored under you.


3) Bonuses: Help your team become successful, makes you successful and Beachbody rewards you for this!



Questions and Answers

Q: "I'm not quite at my weight goal yet. I'll consider coaching once I'm in shape”
A: Start now! You're in the same shoes as your potential customers. The only difference is that you are proactive. They can relate to someone who is “not quite there yet” vs. the intimidating buff guy.
Q: "I hate to sell. I'm not much of a people-person.”
A: Begging people to buy things that they could do without is selling. Coaches don't sell... we recommend what has worked for us, just like you recommended the newest hair product or movie to your friends. Shakeology is awesome!
Q: "I don't have time to start a business”
A:Too busy... sorry that excuse has already been taken. Top coach, Traci Morrow, is a mother of SIX.
 As a coach, you are your own boss. You promote when you want, or not at all. Now of course, the more time you put in, the faster your business will grow. Another way that I 'work', is keeping Shakeology samples/pamphlets on me... you never know when you'll run into someone who randomly mentions that they are trying to eat clean. 




QHow do I become a coach myself?
A: All you have to do is click on this link: http://www.teambeachbody.com/mylittlefitclub
QHow much does it cost to become a coach?
A: There is an initial $39.95 fee and then a monthly charge of $14.95 for your back office. The back office is a website that Beachbody provides for you that keeps track of your sales, team sales, customers, commissions, as well as some training, sales tools, and much more.
QHow much time do I have to dedicate in order to be a coach?
A: The amount of time you spend is completely up to you! The growth of your business is dependent on how much time and love you put into it.
QIs the Beachbody Coaching Opportunity a scam?
A:  No, the Beachbody Coaching Opportunity is not a scam. Before I decided to become a coach, I did A LOT of research. I made sure that what I was doing was obtainable and easy to understand. I made sure I would benefit from it as well as benefit those around me.  
QWhat are some of the benefits of becoming an Independent Beachbody Coach?
AYou have the opportunity to help others get into shape and live a healthier life! And keep yourself accountable!
  • You receive 25% off all Beachbody products.
  • You get your own personalized website/store.
  • You are not responsible for shipping or inventory.
  • You have unlimited income potential.
  • You are a personal business owner.
  • You have the opportunity to purchase the Showcase Package at a HUGE discount
QWhat is the Showcase Package?
A: For just $199, you can purchase a collection of Beachbody workout programs that normally costs over $400! The programs included are Turbo Jam, Power 90, Slim in 6, Yoga Booty Ballet, Hip Hop Abs, and P90X. You will also receive a set of B-Lines Resistance Bands and a YBB Squishy Ball. (As a note of comparison: the retail price of P90X is $119.85 plus S&H, and for just $80 more, you can have 5 more programs!)
QDo I have to have a great transformation to be a coach?
A: No! You have to have a passion for helping others and the desire to succeed. The earlier you start, the better. Others can watch your transformation and they will appreciate seeing all of your struggles and SUCCESSES!! 
QWhat if I’m not very knowledgable about fitness?
A: You don’t have to be a fitness expert to be a coach. I wasn’t when I first started. After becomming a coach you learn everything quickly.
QWill I get the proper training?
A: Beachbody has an excellent training program called the Game Plan, which you will need to understand when you sign up to coach. Also me as your upline coach will guide you every step and answer any questions.
QIs the Coaching Opportunity open to anyone outside the US?
A: Currently, the Coaching Business is not available to anyone outside the US. However, Beachbody is in the process of opening up the opportunity to other countries, such as Canada.
So start today and let me help you help others

Tomorrow is a new day!

I have not blogged in quite a while because I haven't found my words. My mind is filled with so much clutter and many other useless, time consuming things.
I cannot explain anything to anyone... it's just complicated.

When it rains it truly pours... Trying to keep my chin up throughout all of the uncertainty...

Bare with me, while I do not have a lot of words to say in my post, due to personal struggle.

The only thing that has kept me going is Team Beachbody and knowing that I need to be strong for not only myself but for other people. Beachbody has been such a positive change in my life, especially when I need it the most. I encourage anyone and everyone that no matter what they are going through to keep on going. Whether your concerns are big or small, tomorrow is a new day!

"Words can never hurt me"

So I needed a little inspiration today... I hate that saying "words can never hurt me."
Words hurt people all the time, words mean something. I never understood that little rhyme. So be careful with your words, you have no idea who they have an influence over. You have no idea the impact they have on someone. "I believe that life doesn't come around full circle until you start serving others." When you start serving and helping others you will see the rewards in one way or another... I promise!

TACO TUESDAY!

Happy Taco Tuesday!
So every Tuesday I go to Tijuana Flats for their Taco Tuesday special, it is almost the highlight of my week!  I am a little more conscience of what I eat. I now get the whole wheat tortilla, light cheese, and light sour cream on my tacos, but I do not limit myself to the things I love. We are all normal and we can't eat completely clean every day of the week, at least I can't . If I did I would drive myself and whoever I am with crazy. Just continue to replace one meal a day with your delicious shakeology, get your work out of choice in (ie: Insanity, P90X, 10 minute trainer, Turbo fire etc..) and give yourself a cheat day. Plus you deserve it after all that hard work.


I am getting there! Happy Taco Tuesday!
XOXO

Paddle Boarding

Today was a beautiful fall day! A cool crisp breeze was in the air and all my windows were wide open. October is my favorite month of the whole year! It was a relaxing day. Ended the day at a friends house with one of my best friends. I decided to go paddle boarding...  I think I found a new hobby. It was so much fun, too bad I didn't recognize this hobby sooner...
I started off on my knees then quickly got up onto my feet, with no problems... What a great work out too. It is like walking on water. If you have never tried paddle boarding, I highly recommend it. It was a great end to a beautiful day! XOXO

Blogging what?

This is my first Blog! I never thought that I would be a person who would write blogs, but look here I am! Never say never. This is what I have learned, NEVER SAY NEVER. I am here today because I am excited! I am excited about what comes next. I have made it a goal to get exactly what I want in anything I do. This takes a lot of self evaluation, self teaching, persistence, genuineness, honesty, and much much more. I was tired of watching my life go by without being completely fulfilled. I was just going through the motions of everyday. I decided to change everything! I quit my job, some of you may think what? Why would you quit your job out of the blue? Well let me tell ya... I was working for a Plastic Surgeon as an Aesthetician. I put my heart and soul into every patient, every treatment, and every move I made. I worked so hard at what I did. I definitely saw rewards from all of the people I met and the lives that I changed but that was all. I wasn't gaining anything from my employer. My efforts, my time, my gift, was not being understood by the one person who needed to understand. I had a 21 year old as my boss who didn't know how to even print a label. She would sit in an office on Facebook and plan her snooty wedding to who other than the doctors 35 year old son. Now, I am not judging because really age is just a number but really 21 and my "boss" who are we kidding. I realized I could not grow in this business. I cannot be taken seriously and therefore within a matter of days I sadly made the decision to resign. There was no warning for anyone, my employer, my patients, not even myself. I knew no matter what there was something greater out there for me. Something I didn't even know about but it was out there.

I had endured so many hard times, so many personal struggles, I had a lot that weighed on my tiny little shoulders. So many times I wondered how I even got out of bed on some mornings. I am not a person who cries to other people. I do not like people seeing me weak or struggle. I do not like topics to be all about me. I actually hate it. Even my closest friends who I know would do anything for me, I couldn't even open up to them to let them know my struggles, my pain, my everything. I am good at changing the subject in fact I may be a professional at it. I would get the question "So how are you?" My quick response is always "I am great, so what is going on with you and so and so, hows your life? Whats new?" Always, never fail, my plan always worked, conversation changed, mission accomplished and I was still a listening ear to my friends. I realized things had to change.
I remembered going to a meeting a few months back with a group of girls who were starting their business as Team Beachbody Coaches. I was intrigued but as always skeptical, one thing that I am and most people know about me is I have great intuition. I read people very very well. So I wasn't going to let anything fool me. So I sat in the meeting and took it all in, all the info, all the success stories, and learned a lot. I went home and contemplated it all. I took a walk and thought of how I could do this as well, how could I be successful. I like fitness, I like healthy lifestyles, I like positive people, feedback, rewards, and helping others. Quickly I dismissed the thought since when would I have time for any of this with a full time job that I lived for? So after a few months passed and fate hit and I realized my future in this company was not going to grow, I had an AH...HA moment. I would be a Team Beachbody Coach! I could be fit, healthy, help people and be successful and fulfilled. Here is where my journey begun! I am so excited to be a part of The Bombshell Dynasty Team. I went from probably my lowest point to my highest all in one week. Even though I was still jobless I knew I was going somewhere and would enjoy it the whole ride. www.teambeachbody.com/mylittlefitclub So to sum it up I am blogging, and I am taking you all with me. I will guide you through my ups and downs and be here for you throughout this journey. I am here to change lives in any way I can. I can answer questions about Beachbody, nutrition, coaching, your own business, and so on. I want to be here for you! Until next time, Take care My Little Followers
