Does \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tanyone count their blessings anymore? I sure do. But I also know that it is \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thard on a bad day, but even on the worst day, there are many things to be \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthankful for. One of the blessings that I don’t have is a coach to give me \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tideas. The reason that I haven’t sent out a newsletter in a few weeks is \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbecause I am not blessed like most if not all of the rest of you are to have a \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tjob other than being a Beachbody Coach. I went from having a business and being \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ta coach to just being a coach and I have to hustle every day to succeed in this \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbusiness.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am constantly seeking out advice \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tto be the best coach that I can be so that you can be the best coach that you \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcan be. Your success has been entrusted to me and that is a huge \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tresponsibility. When Carl Daikeler had the audacious idea of entrusting the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsuccess of his company to the people who were benefitting from buying and using \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\this products, it was an incredible leap of faith. His reputation and the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treputation of the company has been placed in our hands because Beachbody is \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tgiving us their customers to guide, motivate and \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tinspire.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carl and Kevin and Pete, to name \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tjust a very few, inspire me and I need you to hear and feel my passion and \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tenthusiasm. But I can’t just give you ideas and “rah rah” about this business. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI also need some time to implement my ideas and the ideas that I have been able \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tto glean from Kevin or Doug and test them and accept or reject them before I \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tblindly pass them on to you. You certainly don’t need to waste your time on the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttrial and error that I have to use.<\/span><\/p>\n

And so it \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tis that I was lucky enough to get an idea from Brian, via Monica, about \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tusing MeetUps.com to schedule home presentations. He told me in an email that I \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tread early last Sunday morning and within hours, I had signed up and scheduled \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ta presentation which happened this past Sunday evening – \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thttp:\/\/weightloss.meetup.com\/830\/<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbefore you start thinking that I want you to spend $12.00 a month to join \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMeetUps.com, that is not the point. The point is that I have now experienced \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe power of home presentations and realize why all of the top coaches use them \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tso successfully. Those top coaches grasped very early on how lucky they were to \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbe a part of Beachbody and what the responsibilities and rewards are for being \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentrusted with helping other people. Carl and Kevin and the rest of the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBeachbody management team are helping us to help other people to succeed. Once \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tyou fully grasp that, you can start looking people in the eye and telling them \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tabout what we do and telling them how you count being a Beachbody Coach as one \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tof your many blessings.<\/span><\/p>\n
