Who Is Melanie?

8 years ago I was a new mom of 2 boys.  I was a new stay at home mom.  I left my corporate career as the Director of Early Intervention to live out my dream of being home to raise my boys.  I love being a momma but I was really struggling personally with my confidence level because of the 30+ lbs I could not get off after 2 pregnancies in under 3 years.  I couldn’t fit in any of my clothes and we were financially tight due to being on a single income.  My husband Matt and I fought over money ALL THE TIME and it was a very large stressor in our marriage.

In 2011 I made a post on Facebook about eating celery and wanting to lose the baby weight and my coach (who was a complete stranger at the time) saw the post and sent me a private message inviting me to join her accountability group.  Before responding back I went to her page and creeped on her.  She seemed normal.  She was also a mom of 2.  She had an incredible transformation and I saw myself in her before photo.  In her after photo she was smiling, had a twinkle in her eyes, she looked happy and healthy. I WANTED that TOO!  So without skipping a beat, I made the commitment to join her group.
This was the start of my own personal life transformation.
I was 100% committed to doing whatever it took to feel confident and fit in my clothes.
Every day I worked out in the basement of our townhouse while my boys napped.  I overhauled our pantry.  I started cooking healthier foods, paying attention to the labels, researching portion sizes and how to truly be healthy.  I LOVED it and the lbs were melting off.  After 60 days of being in an accountability group my coach invited me to join the business opportunity with her.  I actually turned her down at least 6-7 times.  I didn’t feel like I could be a coach!  I wasn’t at my goal weight yet!  I didn’t have a clue how to coach other people!  But my coach said, “Melanie you are already doing what I do!  You are sharing your results, you are teaching people what you are learning and you are encouraging others in the group!  You would rock at this!”
I thought about it long and hard!  I saw how happy she was.  I saw that she was earning an income.  I knew that we desperately needed the money and I loved the person I was becoming.  So I said YES!!  In July of 2011 I became a coach without any background in marketing, sales, social media, and I got to work sharing what I loved.
Here we are 8 years later and I cannot imagine how different my life would be if I didn’t say YES!
What started as a way to get in the best shape of my life turned into…
Paying for my own products monthly with my income I was earning,
To paying cash for our Christmas presents my first year.
To earning a trip for my family to Disney for being consistent and helping at least 3 people a month.
To paying off our student loans.
Becoming part of the top .01% of the company!
Being a top 10 coach 6 years in a row!
Being the 4X Top Coach
Retiring my husband from his corporate career!
Leading my team to duplicate this success and creating leaders who are also having massive life changing success!
To speaking on stages and teaching other business owners what has worked for me!
I never SAW THAT COMING but boy oh boy and I glad that I said YES!
I feel like I would be a total JERK if I didn’t shout it from the rooftops and share it with YOU!
So THANK YOU for being here and for reading my blog post.
I’m sure you are sitting here SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD asking, BUT HOW MELANIE!!!!  So here is how…
Here is the game plan:

1.  Watch the 4 videos below.
2. Check out the images/info to get an idea of what this lifestyle business is all about and what my team is like.
3. Keep an open mind and allow yourself to dream!  SERIOUSLY ask yourself where do you want to be in 3 to 5 years if you could do ANYTHING!!!  Is what you are doing RIGHT now where you want to be?  Could you see yourself in some part of my story?  Do you want to be your own boss, make your own schedule, take vacations whenever you want?  This business DOESN’T play favorites.  If you have the work ethic, the drive and determination you can create that life you are envisioning for yourself.

Let’s Start With Some Income Inspiration

I really don’t love talking about the income part of what I do because I just don’t ever want people to think I’m gloating.  But, I never knew that coaching was such a great income opportunity until it was shared with me.  I would watch people in my organization accomplishing big goals and talking about how they paid of their debts it really motivated me to work harder.
So if you are interested in earning an income by getting in shape, inspiring others through your own journey and helping people change their lives too then this is a great way to do it!
I have to also say that your income is a direct reflection of the lives that you change.  You cannot just WISH for the income, you have to work for it!  Below are some examples of our team members who are crushing it and changing lives!

Beachbody does not guarantee any level of success or income from the Team Beachbody Coach Opportunity. Each Coach’s income depends on his or her own efforts, diligence, and skill. See our Statement of Independent Coach Earnings located at http://tbbcoa.ch/TBB_SOICE  for the most recent information on our Coaches’ actual incomes.

We all start at the bottom.  We all started small but with consistency and dedication it grew.  My first paycheck paid for my product but it quickly grew to $300-$500 a week and we were paying for our groceries, paying off student loan debt and saving for our future.  This hobby of mine was really starting to become significant and it was truly changing our family.
There is HUGE potential for you to do the same!  The compound effect of your consistent efforts will pay off.
I do work incredibly hard, so I don’t want you to think that this is easy.  But this WORK is work that I love.  The JOB is one that I can do anywhere I have access to wifi.  I can determine my work hours and I can work as little or as much as I want for the results that I desire.
I share these examples because just maybe you are searching for SOMETHING more and this could be the spark that propels you into action.
What do you have to lose?
For me- the pain of staying the same was far greater than the pain of the change! Getting out of my comfort zone and doing something I had never done before was the best thing I could of ever done!!!
