The one thing that I try to stay healthy and train for is life itself. Lately, I've been doing a lot of travel for my cause-related media project OCRTUBE.com, and that in itself keeps me active and somewhat in shape.

I was just recently in Ometepe Island filming the 2017 Fuego y Agua Survival Run (you can watch my video here), and within the time I was there, I hiked both Maderas and Concepcion. I actually did Maderas at night while filming the endurance athletes from the Survival Run, it took me 9 1/2 hours of filming and hiking on Maderas. After editing and uploading the Survival Run video (total race miles for the athletes across the island was about 60 miles covering two volcanos and a vast amount of the island), I hiked up Concepcion a few days later with a couple that I met on the island.

Total hike is about 1,600 meters or 5300 feet in elevation. Average hike time ranges from 8-12 hours depending on your fitness level.

Here is a quick video from our Volcon Concepcion Hike which took us 7 1/2 hours R/T. We started at the main entrance which if you go early in the day, they require you to have a guide which I was not fond of, but they would not allow us to hike up without one. The guides range from $10-$20 per person. I recommend asking a Tuk Tuk Driver for a guide ($10) instead of trying to book an actual volcano hike tour ($20).



Are you looking for a way to stay active and workout while traveling? I highly recommend the Beachbody on Demand App (click here for a Free 30 Day Trial). (If you reside out of the USA and Canada, message me here) I use this all the time when I travel, in my hostel, Airbnb, Hotel, Outdoors, Gym, or pretty much anywhere. I do enjoy going different gyms all over the world, but sometimes they are difficult to find, or they are a trek away, so BOD helps me stick with my goals on the go. I also enjoy running, then using the Beachbody Online Yoga Studio within the app, it's so good! =) 

Also, if you would like to join my FREE online accountability group for more health and fitness motivation and free workouts, feel free to message me here! Looking forward to meeting you!

10 Things That Beachbody Isn't

10 Things That Beachbody Isn't, Beachbody Facts, Beachbody on Demand Free Trial, Shakeology Samples, Become a Beachbody Coach, Beachbody Coach Benefits, Network Marketing Facts, Beachbody Free Accountability Group


So let's dig right into this shall we! NO INTRO REQUIRED.

1.  QUICK FIX - There are over 400 workouts, and $6,000 worth of fitness programs within the Beachbody Library. There are 3 to 90 day "all-in-one" challenge packs that include both fitness and nutrition. It's not about selling shortcuts, it's about helping people learn the benefits of living a health and fitness lifestyle the proper way. If you're looking for a quick fix, unfortunately.....you will never reach your goals.

2.  PYRAMID SCAM - If you did not know, "pyramid schemes and/or scams" are illegal. blah blah blah! I highly encourage you to try talking to people who are successful in this industry, and who are truly making an impact in this world with their philanthropic and political projects. Network Marketing is a billion dollar industry, and is even bigger than the NFL. Bottom line, do your research and make an informed decision.

3.  MAGIC PILL - Shakeology is not a magic pill. It's like having a salad that tastes like a dessert. Most people who try to eat healthy incorporate salads as part of their nutrition. When is the last time that you had a meal with over 70+ superfoods from around the world. You're busy, I'm busy, we're all busy......with Shakeology, you can get one of the most nutrient-dense meals anytime, anywhere...and it only costs $5 per meal, not bad at all when you see people paying $10+ for pressed juices...why?


4.  FOR EVERYONE - With so many health and fitness options, it's all about finding which program works best or you. If you haven't tried incorporating Beachbody into your life, why not give it a go. Most of the products have a money-back guarantee or a free trial, so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. As far as the business side is concerned, if you are teachable, consistent, and have big goals, then you will rock it. Like anything, if you work hard (and are not afraid to fail forward), any business can be rewarding, and this also goes for having a Beachbody Coaching Business.

5.  TREND - Working out and eating healthy is not a trend, it's a lifestyle. This is not about inventing or buying the latest shake weight, ab roller or one hit wonder, it's as simple as tweaking the way that you fuel your body, and committing to your daily activities so that you can make big changes in your life.

6.  GET RICH QUICK - It takes an average of 2-5 years for a legitimate business to become profitable. Beachbody Coaching is a real business that takes time to build just like any business. Would you open up a restaurant, nightclub, hotel or tech company for only a month and give up? I think not. If you treat this business like a real business, it will be one. If someone tells you that a business is easy, be very cautious, it's most likely illegal or too good to be true. Hard work does pays off, but if you work hard and smart, it will yield more success!

7.  EASY - Ask anyone who is healthy and fit if it was easy. Ask any Entrepreneur if building a million-dollar empire was easy. People who have found the best results in fitness and/or business surround themselves with people who lift them up and support them. So if your goals are important to you, it's pretty darn important to be extra picky with the people that you surround yourself with. If your inner-circle does not believe in you, it will be very difficult to get to the next level of your life.

Life isn't easy, but not doing anything about it makes it harder

8.  COOKIE CUTTER - With the growing online fitness library that Beachbody has every month, it is far from being cookie cutter. When people tell you that Beachbody is cookie cutter, it's probably because they are not familiar with what's going on with the company and the technology, or simply put, they just want your business. Everyone deserves the right to choose their own health and fitness preference. I would definitely think twice about anyone, or any fitness professional who is talking smack about another fitness regiment. Whether you are doing Zumba, Crossfit, P90X, or Swimming....you deserve to be praised for just being active.


9.  ABOUT SALES - If you think that life is not trying to sell you on anything, then it might be time to wake up =). These days, if you want something, it isn't possible without buying something, that is if you are living in the civilized world. If you want to talk to relatives, you talk on the phone, that takes money. If you want to eat clean, you go to an organic grocery and buy food. If you want to workout, you pay for a gym or equipment, or workout clothes, there's just not going anywhere around it. The question is, are you investing in something that will give you a return. Are you using something that will help you achieve your goals? We live in a "sales" world, from restaurants, to endurance races, to movies, to real estate etc. The world we live in is all about sales, and people selling (or sharing), but the good thing is that you choose where you invest your money in. Beachbody is not about getting sold, it's about choosing an option that works, that is.... if you allow it too.

10.  WHAT YOU THINK - Forget about what you've heard, forget about the negative things that people say, forget about what you don't know, and try opening your mind to learning about something meaningful and exciting. Too many people are listening to people who have no interest in their success...why? Because they are embarrassed about what people will think about them? Do you think Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk cared about what people thought? People who succeeded in life do it for themselves and their family, NOT for the people who have no bearing on their success or happiness. Whether you are curious about Beachbody in regards to fitness or finance, the buck stops here, take that risk, take that chance...it may be that ONE THING that will change your life.

The NETFLIX of Fitness - Business Opportunity

The Netflix of Fitness, Sneak Peek to Beachbody Coaching, Become a Beachbody Coach, Beachbody Coaching UK, Beachbody Coaching Australia, Beachbody on Demand Free Trial, What is Beachbody Coaching?
Where Netflix Meets Fitness and how you can EARN!


What!!! And I love Netflix...., I SHO do =)

Anyways, so where were you when Facebook, Amazon, Ebay, and Apple started? Do you remember Blockbuster Video before Netflix took over!

A lot of these businesses started in garages, dorm rooms, basements, and even car trunks. Some of the founders and visionaries of these billion dollar empires were even college drop outs. Technology is moving so fast that every time that I purchase something, another product or service launches just months later. Times are changing, especially for business. Let's face it, it's really the coming age of the entrepreneurs! What does this mean for you? OPPORTUNITY.

Back in the days, the only way to connect with people was through writing letters or talking on the phone. Thanks to Mark Zuckerberg, we can now connect with old family and friends in real time via social networking. Before eCommerce, it was all about driving to the nearest shopping center or grocery store. I remember how excited I was to hop in the car and go to a Blockbuster Video and pick out a couple movies, now we don't have to leave our homes! That's kinda good, but kinda bad too because our society is getting too comfortable.....comfortable sitting on their asses! Processed foods are abundant, and people are too busy to purchase fresh produce to prepare family dinners.

IT'S GETTING OUT OF CONTROL

Technology has made it very convenient to stay at home and be lazy, at least until now. One of the top reasons why people do not make it to the gym is because of the hassle of getting there. People are working harder these days, and with today's economy, families are forced to work dual jobs just to make ends meet. This explains why some people go straight home and bypass the gym because they're just plain tired of working crazy long hours, and they miss their families so much, they are simply rushing home to be with them.

THE AGE OF FREE ENTERPRISE

Hotel and car rental business revenue has gone down due to the advent of companies like Airbnb and Turo. Taxi companies are struggling because of new ridesharing concepts such as Uber and Lyft. And soon, restaurants will be impacted with the upcoming in-home supper clubs via AirDine.

Work from anywhere, anytime! 
Immediate and Residual Income - Part-time or Full-Time

THE TIME IS NOW

There might never be another Facebook or Google, but with the exciting new technologies with Free Enterprise, there are companies who are focused on helping society hone up and become Entrepreneurs. Gyms and Outdoor Training facilities will probably never go away, but people are always looking for convenience. More and more, people want to be with their families, and start a business using the latest in mobility such as smartphones, tablets, and streamlined 2 in 1 laptops.

THE NETFLIX OF FITNESS Opportunity....

is here!!! You do not have to come up with thousands of dollars to open up your own gym. You don't even have to be a personal trainer. You can be with your family, and guess what....you can start an online fitness business from the palm of your hand, ANYWHERE AROUND THE WORLD, yeah.....even in Patagonia and the Galapagos Islands! =) Just like all of these companies who have become extinct because of the advent of free enterprise and technology, you can now benefit and be part of the movement that is focused on helping people become more active, more healthy, and become their own boss.

My TOP 10 Travel Apps of All Time

Top 10 Travel Apps, Top Ten Travel Apps, Travel App Top Lists, Beachbody on Demand Free Trial, Uber Discount Code, Turo Discount Code, Airbnb Discount Code


A lot of my friends ask me how I plan, book, and organize my travel, even how I exercise while I'm on the go....so I decided instead of repeating myself a millions times, why not post a blog and just share the link...HA, brilliant! =)

I DO NOT USE TRAVEL AGENCIES OR BOOK TRAVEL PACKAGES

No way Jose! If you travel a lot, that can become very, BERRY expensive. I've learned many years ago about traveling independently, and with the advent of APPS, it's makes planning my travels so much easier.

YES, I HAVE AN IPHONE

But I'm pretty sure that the apps below will have Android versions, in fact as popular as they are, I want to say that I am positive that they do.

MY TOP TEN (not in order as pertaining to favorites)

1.  Airbnb - I rarely stay at hotels these days unless I get a super good deal. When I travel, I enjoy meeting other people, and staying with the locals. Hotels are very touristy, and that is something that I try to avoid. With Airbnb, I have the opportunity to stay with some amazing locals and save a lot of money.

2.  Uber - I like the fact that when I use Uber, I am supporting a regular person just like you and I with having their own business. I can also save up to 50% or more on my fares and have much better conversations with Uber drivers. Thank you Travis and Garrett for inventing this!


3.  Hostel World - When I travel, I really don't care about how fancy my accommodations are, so many times I stay at hostels. And don't think for a minute that hostels are gross, yes...there are some sketchy ones, but I've stayed at many boutique hostels that were way better than a 5 star hotel, seriously! With hostels, you have the option of dorm-style or private room accommodations, and you meet so many people from around the world. 50% of my friends I've met from hostels, so if you enjoy meeting travel-minded people, than this might be right up your alley. This app rates the hostels and provides reviews which makes it easy to choose the best accommodation for you.

4.  Kayak - I book 90% of my flights with this app. It's searches hundreds of sites to help you find the best deal. If you like saving time and being more productive like I do, than this app will save your life! This app also searches multiple sites for car rentals and hotels.

5.  Turo - This app is like the Airbnb for car rentals. You rent from verified car owners instead of corporations. The cars are comparable to what you would get from your typical car rental agency, but with less the hassle and hidden fees. What I like best about Turo is the selection of cars from economy all the way up to high end Tesla's and Maserati's. I don't own a car anymore so most of my cars I rent from Turo when I need a car for a hot date (lol JK). One time I rented from a Jamaican family and when I returned the car, they had Jerk Chicken prepared for me! When's the last time Hertz, Alamo, Enterprise or Dollar did that for you.....NEVER!


6.  Skyscanner - This is the app that I primarily use to book my air tickets all over Europe. I once bought a ticket from England to Norway for $15, yup....I'm not kidding!

7.  XE Currency - I use this app all the time! When you visit different countries, you have to be smart and understand their currency and the conversion rates, and this app can help you with that. If I didn't have this app, I would've probably been ripped off many times over. If you don't like getting ripped of, then get this app.

8.  iTranslate - Ok, I'm embarrassed to say that I only know and speak one language! Yes, I am filipino, but I can only say the bad words LOL. So what do I do to get by when I travel to different parts of the world, I have my handy dandy translator on my iPhone. I may not have perfect pronunciation, but at least I try to speak their language, and the locals really like that. When you visit different countries, I encourage you to learn the basic greetings such as: thank you, have a good day, hello, good bye, and where's the bathroom....that's important =)

iTranslate

9.  Maps.me - This is the best app when exploring the city on foot or hiking trails. It's amazing how this app can find small single tracks behind people's back yards. This is the ultimate off-the-beaten path app, google maps doesn't have nothing on this one. I once got lost in the Norwegian forest and guess who saved my life? This app!

10.  Beachbody on Demand - Ok this is not really a travel app, but I have to say that it is one of the most important apps while I travel because it helps me stay active and in shape during my back to back trips. With over $6,000 worth of online workouts, I can do everything from yoga on the beach to Insanity in the jungle, to P90X at the gym. This app is like the Netflix of fitness, how else can I be strong enough to hike strenuous mountains, chase top athletes when I'm filming endurance races, or run away from bandits who think I'm rich =)

So there you have it! I hope that you find this to be super helpful with your travels, and if you have any questions at all, please feel free to connect with me, I'd be happy to share more tips and even learn from some of you!

The Truth About Jealousy And How To Overcome It

Truth About Jealousy, How to Overcome Jealousy, Jealousy Tips, Beachbody Coach Tips, Becoming a Beachbody Coach, Don't Be Jealous


Before you begin to assume that I am an expert, let me assure you that I am far from that =) The main reason why I wanted to post a quick blog about this is because it's actually something that I struggled with for many years, but with a lot of work and the right support, I was able to overcome it.

JEALOUSY SUCKS, and you know it, so don't be a SUCKER.

I don't think there is anything wrong with a little jealousy, but if taken to the extreme where it begins to damage yourself on the inside, it can be hurtful to a lot of people around you, but ultimately, it will only hurt YOU (the jealous one) the most.

Jealousy happens everywhere: sports, business, relationships, and family to name a few.

WHY ARE PEOPLE JEALOUS?

Well, that's the million dollar question because there are so many factors that may be involved. I think that it's safe to say that most people who take jealousy to the extreme are the people who probably need the most help, but may also be the ones too afraid to admit it.....oh yeah, that was me.

Jealousy stems from mostly things like insecurity, and not being able to overcome something that happened to you in the past. It's not impossible to overcome, but in order to get passed it, the first step is to make a conscious decision to try.

LET ME GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES of how I used to get jealous, and what I did to overcome my negative behavior:

- When my girlfriend seemed to have an interest (not in a intimate way) with another man.

SOLUTION: Know that there are still genuine and kind people out there who just want to be friends, and people will always have the same interests no matter what the gender is. Being a confident man will make your wife or girlfriend respect and love you more than you know.

- When I saw someone who was more healthy and fit than I was.

SOLUTION: They worked hard to get to where they are, and if I wanted to do that, I needed to stop wasting my time being negative, and start being more positive at the gym and my workouts.

- When someone traveled to more places than I did

SOLUTION: Just ask questions or advice as to how they are able to travel as much as they do, and use those tips to help you incorporate that into your life so eventually you can do the same thing.

- When someone was more successful or committed to success than I was

SOLUTION:  Again, don't be afraid to ask questions and become an apprentice to learn more. Some of the best education out there is NOT taught in school, it's learned from others who have failed before us and are wiling to help us if we would just open ourselves to being vulnerable.

- When people were hands down more good-looking than I was

SOLUTION: Some people look good on the inside, and some look better on the outside. Judging a book by it's cover is never the best way to look at things. I used to envy this Ferrari that I saw in my neighborhood all the time, come to find out, it was a Kit Car, not the real thing. People and things are not always what it seems. Looks aren't everything, it's what's on the inside that counts.

- When someone has more talent than I do

SOLUTION: Some people are book smart, while some are street smart. It's all about finding out what you're good at, and taking your talents and teaching it to others. Some people may look like they have all the talent in the world, but if they are not using it to make a difference, it will be useless in the future. Whatever you do, be passionate and help others along the way. Talent is nothing without sharing it with others.

So these are just a few examples of what I went through, and some solutions to what I did to overcome them. Now whether you relate to any of this or not, you may be going through your own struggles. If you are, and you are not happy with this negative part in your life, then I encourage you to first start with admitting your faults, that was the hardest part for me because I had such a huge ego problem in the past.

Once you have acknowledged that you have a jealousy issue, just make a point to slowly start understanding and analyzing the situation before making negative assumptions. The negative assumptions again come from insecurity and past experiences, so I encourage you to work past what you are feeling inside, and really work on understanding the positives first. One thing that helped me see more light in a dark situation was just thinking or looking at a photo of my daughter. Thinking of something that makes you smile or happy will more than likely help you eliminate negative thoughts.

Other things that have helped me overcome jealousy was surrounding myself with positive and uplifting people. Specifically, people who actually care about what you do, and encourage you to become better. I started getting serious in my walk with God, and started reading personal and professional development. We all have things that will help us become better in our own way, it's your responsibility to search for these things, and ask loved ones and REAL FRIENDS to help keep you accountable.

WARNING

Whenever you start to make a decision to do BIG THINGS with your life, it's no surprise at all that you will be attacked by people you thought were your friends.

When I started my P90X journey back in 2010, I wanted to get more healthy and fit for me, but also to be there for my daughter for years to come. But when I started working out, some of my friends made fun of me, and told me that I was wasting my time. They didn't support me, and the only encouragement that they gave me was to go drinking at the bar. I mean, "WTF?"


THEN I WOKE UP

Struggle will always be there. Dealing with negative friends, overcoming your ego, and transitioning to a more positive life will take some time, but ask yourself this question, "how important is it for you to be happy?" Happiness is when you are happy for someone else's success and not your own, and if you continue to work hard, you will achieve YOUR SUCCESS, by not comparing yourself with someone else.

THE JOURNEY

.....is long and hard towards living a more happy and healthy life, but as cliche as it can get....it will be worth it. Just know that when people are jealous of you, then you must be doing something right, KEEP DOING IT!  hashtag #jelly


It's time to get more happy and healthy, get some samples of goodness here:

TOP 10 Benefits Having Network Marketing in Your Life

10 Benefits of Network Marketing, Benefits of Beachbody Coaching, Become a Beachbody Coach, Network Marketing Life, 10 Reasons to Become a Beachbody Coach


If you would've told me growing up that my primary business and my venture calling would be in Network Marketing, I would probably tell you that you were out of your mind. I mean, who wants to sell things and recruit family and friends into a scam right?

I WAS SO MISINFORMED

Just like the majority of us, I was lied too (millions of times), and was led to believe that the business of Network Marketing was bad news, and only the people at the top were successful. I was told so many lies from people who were either clueless about the industry, or "dabbled" in the business and never took it seriously, or got burned from a fly by night company.

AND THEN I DID MY OWN RESEARCH

It wasn't until I did my own research that I found this business to be a multi-billion dollar industry. Like anything, it's all about getting educated and learning about how something can benefit you and your family. My first MLM that I was involved with was Amway. And although I have nothing but great things to say about the company, I was just never passionate about selling soap. The business plan made total sense, but getting people healthy and fit was more of what I wanted to do, and so I became an affiliate with the biggest and the best health and fitness company around, and I am still with them until this day.

My Amway Days with my family (far left)
10 Benefits of Network Marketing, Benefits of Beachbody Coaching, Become a Beachbody Coach, Network Marketing Life, 10 Reasons to Become a Beachbody Coach


YOU CHOOSE YOUR SUCCESS

And so it's all about choosing the right company for you. Keep in mind that if you choose a company based on their compensation plan and car plan (which I really despise), than you will most likely be disappointed. I highly recommend that you join a company where you are using the products because they have helped you, or are helping you....not because you can get a good commission on it. If you do the latter, than that just makes you out to be "that guy", the salesman. And no one wants any part of that. If you believe in what you do, it will happen organically. 

LET'S MOVE ON

So I've been in Network Marketing for 9 years now, 6 years with my current primary company which is Beachbody, and I cannot tell you how much freedom I have to do what I want. If I can just take some of you with me all over the world and experience what type of lifestyle that I have, I'm sure that it would open your eyes to a different world. Oh, and I know that travel is not for everyone, but just imagine what you love, then now envision doing that without anyone else telling you when or how to do it. Imagine spending as much time with your family as you want, not because your boss says you can, I mean....who are they to tell you how to run and live your life right? Oh and if you love your job, that's fantastic, but imagine now being able to do it when you want to, not because you have to. Yeah, I am totally honest with experience, but Network Marketing is truly the best business in the world. But you just have to believe that you can do it, and forget about the haters that will knock you. What do they know? Do they pay your bills? Nope, so go for it! 

One last thing on this topic, I am just as normal as all of you. I still struggle with life. I am not what people call "money bags", but Network Marketing has given me a better life. It's not about making millions, but if you play your cards right, whether you like it or not, millions may come your way. And what would I do with millions you ask? I would probably give it all away and dedicate myself to philanthropy because that's what it's all about for me. Check out my OCRTUBE media project here. 

OK REALLY, THIS IS IT

Here are the TOP 10 Benefits of Having Network Marketing in Your Life:

1.  Low Risk - This one is pretty easy to understand. Only 2-5% of the general population have the ability to invest half a million and up for a successful franchise like McDonalds etc. Not that this is a good example, but its true. With Network Marketing, you only risk is your time and the money that you spend familiarizing yourself with your own products. By spending roughly around $200 per month with your products and online marketing campaigns, your business can eventually grow to an income which most can only be attained by investing millions, or having a college education (and academics doesn't even promise you a bright future) Oh also, if you think that you can get involved with Network Marketing without investing any money, then you're missing the point. It's still a business, marketing on your own without the leverage of marketing dollars will leave you in the hole with the rest of the Network Marketing failure stories. If you treat your business like a business, it will be a business. 

2.  Huge Demand for High Quality Products - Do you know what the difference between a Rolls Royce and a Chrysler? A LOT!!! You will always find products that cost less, but keep in mind that the value goes down as well. You get what you pay for! I've had a number of people who tell me that my Shakeology is way too expensive, and I'm like, "compared to what?". Know what you have, and know the benefits, but also know that you don't have to be an expert, the truth will be shown with your results both physically and financially. 

3.  Residual Income - Do you earn while you are asleep? What about this....does your income grow significantly when you get back from vacation? If not, it's time to learn more about residual income =). To learn more about residual income, one must learn about delayed gratification. 

4.  No Cap on Income Potential - How many of you out there have capped out on your salary? What about traditional business owners out there, when you leave, are you earning more revenue? With Network Marketing "done right", you will never receive a cap. If you work hard consistently, just like athletics, you will eventually hit the podium. When there is unlimited income potential imagine how your thinking of life would change. We all think and make choices based on our income, now imagine that income is not an issue, how far would you take your life? Yup, pretty exciting right!

5.  Virtually No Employees - There are many people in this industry who earn 6 and 7 figures with no employees, it's definitely possible. Once you begin to earn some decent income, it may be a good idea to hire a part time assistant though. I've found that when you hire someone to do the small things (which are still important), it can help you become more productive with the more important things such as prospecting: one on one, online campaigns, and training sessions with your leaders etc. 

6.  No Inventory - Although there are still companies out there who require you to have inventory, it's really a thing of the past these days. Most companies, especially my affiliate company does all the shipping for me all over the world with just a click of a button. 

7.  Low Overhead - This is not a bricks and mortar type of business. With Network Marketing, you already save thousands of dollars by not having to rent office space. You can conveniently run your business from a smartphone or laptop. The only overhead is product use which isn't really considered overhead, and whatever marketing campaigns that you have within your budget. Remember, in any business it will take an investment, big or small, depends on your goals. There is training for all of this, but again, technology makes having an online business very, very cost effective. You can literally spend $500 per month on your business and get the same return if not more versus spending millions with a franchise. All income figures are based on your performance. 

8.  Leverage with Passive Income - One of my favorite quotes by Jim Rohn, he says, "I work full time at my job, and part time for my fortune". Leveraging your income with something on the side is crucial if you want to stay ahead. Eventually, your part time Network Marketing business will surpass your full time job, that's the idea. I've done this along with hundreds of my friends on my team. You are the average of the 5 people that you surround yourself with, so hanging around people who will keep you accountable will speed up the process of your success!

9.  Global and Portability - As mentioned above, there is no limits to where you can work your Network Marketing business. For most companies, you can work anywhere around the world as long as you have an internet connection or smartphone. Now how's that for freedom? No cubicle, and you can wear whatever you want =)  

10.  Anything is Possible with Freedom - Money doesn't buy freedom, I am a believer in that. It's all about GENUINELY helping people get what they want, so eventually you can get what you deserve. If you focus on materialism, you will be disappointed. I encourage you to find a company or product  that you believe in, and then focus on truly helping people. I promise that when you do that, anything is possible!

EXCITING NEWS!!! I just can't.......

Beachbody International, Beachbody Global, Becoming a Beachbody Coach outside of the USA, Beachbody UK, Beachbody Australia, Beachbody Coaching International Opportunity, Beachbody Global Expansion, Beachbody Ground Floor Opportunity


Let's see, I really do not know where to begin! Firstly, let me give you an idea about my excitement, but before I do that, let me share with you what I've been doing since 2011. And I promise not to write a book =).

Well, before 2011....I was working in the night life and hospitality industry. It was a great learning experience, I made a lot of money, but I was a totally different person back then. I don't want to bore you with all the details, but in a nutshell, I needed to find a way to change my lifestyle to a much healthier one, not that I wasn't having fun, I was.....but I wasn't responsible, and at the rate that I was going, I had maybe another 10 years or less of living. My habits consisted of drinking, partying, creating bad relationships, and spending money like there was no tomorrow. Some people call this a dream life, I called it a disguise. The truth is, I wasn't happy, I was searching for something more...aren't we all? 

The idea of NOT being on this planet to watch my daughter grow and live her life was a wake up call to change my life, so what did I do? I committed to living a more healthy lifestyle. 

Fast forward to present day. I am still not a millionaire lol, but that was NEVER my goal. I would love to be able to donate a million dollars to my church and charities one day, that would be too cool! And of course, my commitment to being the best father to my daughter will always be NUMBER ONE, oh and another small goal....to just have enough income to travel and see all 196 countries one day.

I've been a Beachbody Coach for a little over 6 years now, and although I am not considered a TOP COACH, I am happy to say that I do this for a living. What is it that I do? It's simple, I live a healthy lifestyle and share it with people, and I do this all from the convenience of my smartphone and macbook. I've been traveling the world for years now, and just recently have been focused on my cause related media project where I create obstacle racing videos to benefit charity. I do P90X in my hotel, campsites or wherever I sleep. This is how I've been able to live healthy and fit and travel the world for my project. I mean, I can't be sharing my OCRTUBE project with people, and not be taking care of my body right? Thank goodness for Beachbody on Demand Digital, and shipping companies (my family) for sending me my Shakeology wherever I am around the world! 

Nothing better than learning about different cultures, and meeting people from all over the world

Ok yeah, enough about me right! Well, it was never about me to be honest. I could not be where I am today with my happiness if it weren't for the people that I've met through my coaching business. I wanted to share and meet more people like me around the world, and although I was able to work my online coaching business from anywhere around the world, I was not able to create partnerships with the people that I met because my affiliate company was only doing business in the USA and Canada....but this is about to change.


We are finally opening markets outside of the USA, US Trust Territories, and Canada! I am unsure of the countries that will be added at this point, but I'm pretty excited to share what I've been doing with the people that I've met from all the countries that I have visited. Most of these people have been either world travelers, corporate drop outs, missionaries, digital nomads, obstacle racers, and just straight up all around good people. 

What does all of this mean? Well, remember when I told you that what changed my life in 2011 was when I committed to a more health and fit lifestyle? This means that I can also help others around the world that want to be more happy, more healthy, and even start their own company. YES, I know that I can do this now (with or without my affiliate company), but trust me guys, this vehicle makes it ONE MILLION times better, and can make a bigger difference!

I cannot begin to tell you how this makes me feel. To be able to help people become more happy, healthy, and financially fit, I mean.....what else is there? Think of the impact that this would make around the world! Are you feeling my vibe? Read more on how you can join my tribe!
