I get asked the question quite a bit so I thought a blog post was in order! Over the past week there has been a lot of recognition and announcements floating around my facebook page. The end of the year numbers were released and my team kicked some serious butt! I had 3 of my own personally sponsored coaches become Elite Coaches in 2013. I have been getting asked what it means to be an Elite coach and what does one get as an Elite coach so this is why I am writing this today.

A lot of my followers see me sharing about clean eating, fitness, support, accountability and motivation. But did you know that there is an entire business behind what I do? Most people don’t quite know how or how I do it but it seems kinda cool! Well actually it is REALLY cool and I absolutely love what I do! I do get paid to help motivate others and keep them on track. Primarily I do that through my challenge groups where I help customize a plan to fit their needs. So no matter if you have been working out for many years or you have not worked out in many years I can help you. I tend to put my own spin on the whole idea of a Beachbody challenge by incorporating my love for clean eating and teaching my challengers how to truly create a meal plan and follow it so that they see results. It has worked absolutely amazingly and because of my challenge groups I have quite a few people that have wanted to do what I do and begin to coach others. Everyone that I help does not become a coach and it is not expected that they do but the option is always there.
So those that decide to become coaches are enrolled in my coach apprenticeship program where I guide, train and model how to start a business and help others just as I do! I do my best to keep coaches from re inventing the wheel and giving them guidance to feel confident in what they are doing.
There are a select few coaches that really just get the bigger picture and they begin to duplicate their success with their own team members! Those are the elite coaches! They represent the top 1% of the entire Team Beachbody Network. There are over 140,000 coaches in the organization and the top 1% is Elite. The cool part is that I have 3 of them on my team!!
So what does elite mean? It means that you as a coach have begun to develop leadership skills and have helped 5 of your coaches achieve diamond status. It means that you are helping your coaches start challenge groups effectively and your coaches are achieving success club each month as well. It means that you are not just personally selling the programs and products but you are leading people to their own success. Elite is all about how well you can guide those around you! I absolutely love this mentality. I love that you get rewarded for helping your coaches and not just focusing on yourself. This is truly a symbol of good leadership.

You also receive perks such as Elite events during the success club trip (cruise) Coach Summit in Las Vegas, and the Leadership Retreat in Scottsdale Arizona this year. You get 2 VIP floor passes for Coach Summit for being Elite.

More than all of these rewards is the sense of accomplishment. The sense that you are really starting to develop a team that is leading the way, that is truly helping others and is changing lives. This is where you really start to feel like you are the CEO of your very own company, and that is exactly what you are!!!
So here is a video that I did about what an Elite Coach does and how they got there! If you are interested in running your own successful Beachbody Business I encourage you to join my team and get enrolled into my next coach apprenticeship program! I will teach you exactly what I have done to be a successful top coach in this organization! My #1 requirement is that you are here to help others and put the needs of those that you help first. When you keep that your focus on others your financial reward will blow your mind!
