The anxiety around buying Christmas gifts for our family was through the roof every single year starting in November. I hated having that conversation with Matt about how we were going to pay cash for our holiday gifts!

Matt and I would have our annual Christmas budget meeting at the kitchen table.  We would list out every single person that we needed to buy for. Then, we would set a budget and a per person spending limit.  Matt would give me strict orders to not GO OVER THE BUDGET or else we would not be able to make ends meet.

Personally, I hated it!  I hated the whole thing!  Gift giving is my love language and I don’t just want to give ANY gift.  I want to give a gift that I know the other person really wants.  I want to give gifts that I know will bring joy and I really hate that I have to purchase a gift soley on whether or not it is in the “budget”.

Every year I would over spend and on Christmas morning as the boys would open their gifts, I could see that Matt was trying HARD to enjoy the moment but he was already seeing the dollar signs in his mind.  He was thinking about how he was going to pay off the balance of those credit cards.  Our financial situation created so much tension in our marriage.

But everything changed the year I decided to start my business with Beachbody!

It was 2011 and I was a customer of Beachbody.  I was using the at home workout programs, I was following the nutrition plan and I was involved in the online support groups.  I was seeing incredible results and I was telling everyone who asked me how I lost the weight about what I was doing!  I was a natural advocate since it was working so well for me.

My mentor asked me if I had ever considered coaching before!  I remember shrugging her off and saying, “I could never do what you do!!!”

But my mentor pursued the idea of me coaching more and more! She shared all the ways that I would be amazing as a coach and I actually started to see the ways I could do it too!

So I signed up to be a Coach with Team Beachbody!!!  As a mom of 2 small boys (ages 6 months and 2 1/2) I figured that I could really make this business work around our crazy life and have some extra spending money to ease the burden of our ever growing needs.

One of the first goals I set as a coach was to earn $500 in commissions over the holidays to pay for our gifts.

$500 in commissions over 5 weeks felt totally doable and the best part is that I actually ended up earning over $2000 in commissions during those 5 weeks!!!

Let me walk you through the ways that you can do it too!

  1.  Create a crystal clear vision of what earning that dollar amount means to you.  Creating a crystal clear vision means that you close your eyes and visualize the goal being achieved. What will you do with that money?  Who/what will you spend it on? How will your life be better because you accomplish this goal?  Who will this income impact?For me, I visualized waking up on Christmas morning in our matching pajamas.  The boys walking down the stairs to their Christmas gifts under the tree.  I visualized the boys ripping into their presents with so much joy and excitement.  Then, I felt it!  I felt no stress, just pure joy!  No anxiety around the money we had spent because it was all paid for.
    It’s your turn, take time to write this out for your life.
  2. Make a list of how you are going to get to the goal.  What products/services are you going to highlight?  Who can you help? Who has ever asked you about health/fitness/nutrition before?  Do you have your own personal story to share?  What are some of your favorite Beachbody workouts and supplements?  Maybe you even want to get started with your own journey as well!One of the things that I teach in my 1:1 private coaching is how to reverse engineer a goal.  I teach you how to actually back yourself into the income you want by creating a specific strategy just for you.Beachbody has a ton of great product/program options.  You don’t have to promote them all.  But you should choose one that really speaks to who you are as a person and what your interests are.Then, we can create a VIP group, we can create social media content and begin to invite others to join in.
  3. Set aside time in your day to build your business.  As a new business owner I always suggest at least 2 hours a day to devote to your business. Those 2 hours don’t have to be continuous but you do need to plan that time into your day.  If you do not make your business a priority, it will just be something falls to the wayside.

    I use the time blocking tracker to plan my entire life.  I put my Beachbody coaching business hours into the calendar just like I would any other commitment.

    During that time, I do the vital behaviors of inviting, following up, creating connections and new friends and creating my social content that builds my know like and trust factor!


  4. I teach ALL of these steps in my 1:1 private mentorship with my new team members.  If you are interested in learning more about joining my team and getting started in my November 30th new coach mentorship, complete the application here for more info. I’m interested in more information
  5. Be focused on the output more than the outcome!  When it comes to creating success as a coach, you have to be really focused on your daily action steps.  That is one of the things I teach in my mentorship is what activities actually produce income.I had to learn right from the start that inviting is a huge part of what I do!  People don’t just flock to you immediately when you say you are open for business.

    I had to invite others, I had to also be INVITING!  I had to create Facebook/Instagram posts that really positioned myself as the GO TO GIRL for health and fitness!  But, I also wasn’t 100% at my own goal weight yet.  So, I just shared what was working as I learned.  I wasn’t perfect, but that is actually what people resonated with the most. That imperfect action made all the difference in the world.

  6. Participate in team sales!  The last suggestion I have for you to earn that CASH FOR CHRISTMAS is to take advantage of team sales and company promotions.  The best thing I did as a new coach was host flash sales and promotions for my first time buyers and repeat loyal customers.Everyone loves a good SALE and during the holidays, giving the gift of health and fitness makes everyone better!!!

I am proud to say that because of my own gritty determination, I was able to contribute to having a very MERRY HOLIDAY th

at year!

And now I get to pay it

 

forward and help others do the same!!!!
