Why the Beachbody Business is Dominated by Females, and How the Guys Can Still Profit and Succeed

I've been wanting to write about this topic for quite some time now, so coming back from Coach Summit in Indianapolis recently, I felt it was fitting to do so.

My take on COACH SUMMIT INDY 2019

I've been attending Coach Summit since I became a Beachbody Coach in 2011, I have only missed one CS event which was last year. If you do not know what Coach Summit is all about, it's pretty much the SUPER BOWL of all Beachbody Coach Events, it's a game-changing event jam packed with learning experiences, workshops, inspirational speakers, lavish parties, networking, and tons of workouts. Every person interested in having any kind of success, big or small attends this exclusive event.

Over 20,000 Beachbody Coaches Working Out - Indy 

So with that being said, I had a blast! But one thing that I wanted to point out is that, the girl to guy ratio has definitely changed drastically. When I began my coaching business in 2011-2012, I would say that there seemed to be an equal amount of males and females in the business, but since around 2015, I have noticed a drop in male participation. So my experience with the recent Coach Summit in Indianapolis Indiana was that I realized that this business has become a female dominated business. Is there anything wrong with this? (Read On)

Now I cannot give you and exact ratio during this event, but visually, it was apparent that it was an easy 50 females (or more) to one male. Now guys, don't get any ideas and start jumping into this opportunity and think that it would be a great place to find your soul mate, it doesn't work that way =)  These women are focused, driven, and thrive on entrepreneurial success, so the last thing they are thinking about is "hooking up", trust me, they will smell your wrong intentions miles away! =)

HOW DID THE FEMALE COACHES DOMINATE THIS BUSINESS?

I'm going to be honest with all of you, because for me, this is a no-brainer. It's called the "Domino Effect". You see, it only takes a few strong women with BIG GOALS to make this happen. For Example, my Coach is amazing! She has pretty much dominated this business since 2012 when she made a decision to be successful. The story was that.......She asked her partner if he could give her ONE YEAR to try to make it happen, and if it didn't work out for her, then she would quit and start bartending again (they were both bartenders) to help pay the bills, and mind you, they had a lot of bills! I'm sure you know what happened next. It took less than a year, and her business began to grow exponentially, and she has pretty much made the Top 10 Coach List every year since then.

You see, she had a goal and above average vision...and instead of just sitting on her ass and having her partner support the family, she busted her butt, retired him from his job, and now they are both sitting pretty living the simple family life with no financial worries.

Now I know what you're thinking....."I know guys that have done that", well I do too. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that in this case, the females were the ones who were more persistent. It was the females in this business who kept going when times got tough. It was the females who did not quit.

Of course I cannot speak for all the men in this business. All I can say is that I am still here, but will also admit that I am not 100% doing what it takes like a lot of the female coaches in this business. I'm sure the male coaches on my team will agree that we all love this business, we love the products, and we understand that this business model is friggin amazing, but there will always be someone else who loves it more than you do, and in this case, again.....it's the females who love it more than anything. Can and will this ever change? It's definitely possible!

SO HOW DID THEY DO IT?

You see, the females have it down to a science. While most of the men are at the gym looking at all of their muscles, and window shopping for their next date, the girls have already done the following:

-  Finished their workout at home
-  Prepared their post workout meal
-  Checked their messages and did some follow ups
-  And for the women with children, they have more than likely served them breakfast and already sending them off to school.

Do you see something that some of us guys are missing? These women are super productive and organized, at least the ones who are HUNGRY for success. While us guys are taking our time and doing one task at a time, the females are running laps around us and doing something called "multi-tasking".

There are a small percentage of guys in this industry who can pull off what the females do with multi-tasking, and have also been reaping the full benefits of this business along with their female counterparts. The men who understands, respects, supports their female counterparts and does not discriminate against women who have the DNA (determined natural ambition) will ultimately succeed in this business.

WHAT ARE THE GUYS DOING WRONG?

First things first, I am not an expert on this topic. I am merely sharing my thoughts on the matter. So if you disagree with me, you of course have a right to your opinion, and I will respect that. But to answer the question, "what are the guys doing wrong", this is what i have to say:

-  Ego, especially about the idea that home workouts are only for females, and real men only workout at the gym.
-  The thinking that men are more superior over women
-  The thinking that men cannot learn from women
-  The thinking that home workouts are easy, and don't work
-  Being uneducated in the networking industry, and being set on traditional business practices and ideas
-  Being intimidated by the success of not just females, but everyone around them
-  Not allowing yourself to become humble and accepting of your own faults
-  Not allowing yourself to learn something new. Something that used to work sometimes won't work all the time, so learning to be open and honest is something that all men have to work on

Again, I cannot speak for all men, only what I have seen in the 9 years I have been in this business. I also cannot say that it is only the men who deal with the above, I have also seen women with similar issues, but again, the women seem to deal with it, and learn from their mistakes much quicker and move on to becoming successful, while the men tend to never learn, make it more complicated, and just eventually quit.

HOW CAN MEN SUCCEED AS A BEACHBODY COACH TODAY?

If I had the exact answer to that question, then I would probably be a millionaire many times over. All I can say is that there are many successful men in this business, so it is possible. But if I was to give my opinion on the matter, this is what I would say:

-  Don't be afraid to learn from women
-  Do your research on the workouts and nutrition and give it your 100% commitment
-  Get away from the thinking that only men workout at gyms and do crossfit, that is far from the truth
-  Respect the fact that everyone can succeed in this business, it's not just a business for woman, it's for everyone
-  Be yourself, speak the truth, lift people up around you especially the woman who are killing it in this business. What you do says a lot about you and your future business
-  Just MAN UP

LAST WORDS

It doesn't matter if the business that you are in is a male dominated or female dominated business. It's about how you deal with it and make the best out of it. Rather then thinking about who is dominating, why not think about the next person you can genuinely help? Why not think about your success? Why not think about the future of your family?

The bottom line is that, Beachbody is a community of people who just want to live better, and be happier. It's always been that way! It's about transforming into a better human inside and out, and helping others along the way.

Become a Coach Today!

Yes, there are currently a lot more women then men in this business, but when's the last time a man ever complained about too many females? =) Give me a break LOL! Let's quit thinking and start doing! I look forward to your success my friends!

10 Things That Beachbody Isn't

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?

Get Shakeology Samples here!

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

Ask me about my FREE Fitness Accountability Group via Smartphone App

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.

To find out how to get started in improving your fitness or finances, or both, give me a buzz, I'll share some stuff with you and it will be up to you to see what is best for you! =)

The NETFLIX of Fitness - Business Opportunity

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.

The Truth About Jealousy And How To Overcome It

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?"

From Night Life to Fit Life - My Short Story

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

The BRUTAL Truth About Those Pyramid Schemes

I am not going to take credit for this AMAZING article "The Brutal Truth About Those Pyramid Schemes" which was published by the Huffington Post, but I would like to put my TWO CENTS into one of the most misunderstood, but TOTALLY LEGIT businesses in the world.

Currently, I have been in the industry for almost 6 years now. I have seen plenty of people, many from my own team leave and/or quit this industry because they lacked the UNDERSTANDING of:

- How long it takes to be successful

- What it really takes to make it

- Why most people do not have the knowledge of how this industry works

- Why it's not about selling
- Why it's not important about what people think about you

- How this can be a blessing in their own life if they just DON'T QUIT

Here's the thing, I've been in this industry for awhile now, and just like most people, I have thought about QUITTING plenty of times. But if you understand that this is what AVERAGE PEOPLE do, then you will hopefully tell yourself that YOU ARE NOT AVERAGE, and do whatever it takes to make it work for you and your family. 

The well-written article that I am sharing with you was published by the Huffington Post, and really talks about the REAL TRUTH and the purpose of what this industry is all about, and why everyone is so intrigued by the opportunity.

"I am NOT a Rockstar, but I am living an AMAZING life "free from a BOSS", I do whatever I want, travel the world, and love it, if I can do it, I know that you can do it"

If you have a OPEN MIND, I encourage you to read the article below, and if you have any questions, concerns, or anything, please do not hesitate to message me. From my experience when I began with 5 "clueless" team members on our team with NO IDEA what to expect, my team and I have built an organization of 70,000+ members and growing faster everyday! We'd love for you to be a part of this EXCITING time =) 

It doesn't happen overnight, it happens by NOT QUITTING. So if you are looking for the BEST business in the world that allows anyone to be a CEO of their own company from the comfort of their home with using something as small as a smartphone, then it's time to stop looking and start doing, because it's here for you, and I'd be happy to share some information with you.

Beachbody Coach Travel

Success Club Trip - Walt Disney World

So you like to TRAVEL ehh =) Me too! 

I wanted to conjure up (not even sure if I am using the word correctly lol) this quick blog post because there isn't very many people who know about the TRAVEL INCENTIVES as a Beachbody Coach. So let me explain as much as I can, and as QUICK as I can!

Based on your performance as a Beachbody Coach/Entrepreneur, the company provides you with some amazing trips, here are some of the most popular ones:

- Success Club Trip: Any coach can register for this trip and eventually get their whole trip paid for. The incentive program allows you to set certain goals, and if met, the trip itself which most of the time is a cruise, can be paid in full, or partially paid for based on how you meet your goals, as well as the minimum requirements from the company.

- Leadership Retreat: This trip is for 5 Star Diamond QUALIFIED Coaches and above. In a nutshell, if you have helped 5 of your friends become entrepreneurs, you earn this trip which consists of some exclusive training and a lot of time for fun, exploring luxury destinations, and camaraderie with other leaders in the business.

- Elite Adventure: Now this trip is like the SUPER BOWl of all Beachbody Coach EARNED travel. If you are among the TOP 10 in the company, you have an exclusive invitation! The qualifications are pretty tough, but are definitely doable. With hard work, anyone can do this, but not very many coaches will. The elite adventure trip takes the Top Ten Coaches to exotic or far-away places. Some past trips have been in Europe and South America. Oh, and trust me, you get PAMPERED like royalty, maybe even better ha ha!

Quick video from the 2013 Elite Adventure in Tahiti

So those are the 3 top earned travel trips that the Beachbody Company offers to their Coach Network. Now don't let this list limit you to think that this is it....NO WAY JOSE! When you build your Beachbody Coaching business, you are building something that will continue to provide you and your family with RESIDUAL INCOME (google it lol). What does this mean? It means that your income will continue to come in, even when you are sleeping, not working, traveling etc. So let's say that you're in South East Asia, this means that you can literally stay as long as you want, or continue to jet set around the world because you can literally work your business from anywhere (there is internet)!

Like right now, I'm actually in Gothenburg, Sweden. This city is absolutely amazing! I'll be in Europe for a little over 2 months, I can't believe it, but that's what happens when you are consistent with building an online Beachbody Coaching business, you can travel for as long or short as you like =)

Do you enjoy traveling? Are you looking for a way to do something that can help you become more healthy, happy, and financially independent? Well, look no further, it's right here =) Message me and I can help you get started, you're going to love the journey!

5 Reasons Why Obstacle Racing Athletes Should Consider Beachbody Coaching

1.  Living the Lifestyle - Most obstacle racing athletes that I've met have told me that they would love to race every weekend if they could. Athletes are everyday people like you and I who have families, full time jobs and for the most part, live healthy and active lifestyles. By taking the advantage of becoming a Beachbody Coach, these athletes can continue living their current lifestyles and create an extra stream of cash flow part-time. I have known many athletes who have started coaching on the side and have built full time online fitness empires. Imagine racing anytime you want, and getting your races and travel paid for with no sponsorships needed.

2.  Extra Income for Races - Obstacle course races can be an expensive hobby. With registrations starting from $30 up to $200+ per race, this can take a toll on anyone, and this doesn't include travel. By choosing a Beachbody Coaching option that suits your existing lifestyle, athletes can earn income by helping others train for a race with online fitness challenges. Let's say you help 5 people begin an Online P90X challenge, the athlete can earn upwards to $350, now I don't know about you, but that is a few races taken care of right there just for helping others become more active.

3.  Travel Expenses - Most athletes who fall into the OCR addiction tend to travel and participate in races outside of their local city. Transportation can range from airline tickets, buses, car rentals etc. If an athlete used their passion for helping people with the Beachbody Coaching model, they can earn a significant amount of spending cash to assist in travel expenses, and guess what? You may also be able to write off your travel as a business expense at the end of the year. Having a coaching business does have some tax benefits and can save you money, and who doesn't like to save?

4.  Inspiration to Others - Most obstacle racing athletes that I know are pretty active with their workouts and nutrition, and by doing so, they tend to attract a lot of social media influence because people are inspired by others who live healthy lifestyles. With Beachbody Coaching, obstacle racing athletes can earn while doing something they love, being active.

5.  Thinking Beyond OCR - I believe that obstacle course racing is here to stay. It's one of the fastest growing extreme sports today. But as much as we all love the sport, there are just some weekends where we need recovery or a vacation with the family. With the Beachbody Coaching Opportunity, and obstacle racing athlete can still earn income even if they are not racing or working out. When an athlete decides to build a full time Beachbody Coaching business, eventually the income derived from helping others can yield a 6/7 figure residual. So let's say that you happen to need a break from obstacle racing, or you just don't want to do it anymore, or maybe doctors orders says that you can't, your income from your consistent hard work building your Beachbody Business can help you pursue other hobbies, passions and activities or you can just travel the world.

Beachbody Performance for Athletes:

Finding Your Niche as a Beachbody Coach

Finding Your Niche

A lot of people think that when you become a Beachbody Coach that you have to try to cater to EVERYONE! That is somewhat true, but it's really more about finding your NICHE, and once you've done that, it makes it much easier to brand yourself, along with your future fitness empire. Here are some examples of what some Beachbody Coaches specialize in and who they cater to:

- Single Parents
- College Students
- Families
- Young Professionals
- Athletes
- Personal Trainers who are interested in providing more options to their clients
- People with Weight Loss Goals
- Obstacle Course Racers
- Vegans
- Business Owners who want to diversify
- Over 50 and Fit
- Aspiring Entrepreneurs
- Pregnant Women
- Health Nuts

These are just a few examples of some NICHE MARKETS as a Beachbody Coach. As you can see, Beachbody Coaches can be anyone, and they are! What's even more exciting is that Beachbody Coaches can provide solutions to anyone who simply wants to be happy, healthy, and even financially free! Every Coach will have their own specialty, but that does not mean that they cannot help other people who have other goals. For example, I mostly help people who want to become better athletes and would like to train and prepare for an obstacle course race, endurance event or a 5K etc. But I can also help people who want to shed some pounds or want to get super ripped, that's because we (the company who we are affiliated with, Beachbody) have fitness and nutrition programs for everyone! As a Beachbody Coach, it is very important to find your niche because you will be able to make better use of your time in regards to the way that you post things on social media, how you relate to people, and all of this will come to play with your time management and productivity as a Beachbody Coach.

Here are some things to ask yourself that can maybe help you find your niche:

- What are you passionate about?
- Who do you hang around with?
- What social media channel are you savvy with?
- Which Beachbody fitness and nutrition programs have you done?
- What are your hobbies?
- Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Finding your Niche is very important! 

I have been a Beachbody Coach since late 2010, and I didn't really find my niche until I found my passion in obstacle course racing (about a year into it), so it may take some time to find your niche, but that's ok, it will happen. I absolutely love helping people become better athletes, but at the same time, I am also heavily focused on finding aspiring entrepreneurs who love living the healthy lifestyle and has a little business savviness in their blood, because it's not all about helping people with their health and fitness goals (that's only the beginning), it's also about helping them get financially fit as well, and when you put two and two together, you get one heck of an awesome lifestyle!

I have seen people who were miserable, 100 pounds overweight, and unemployed who later became super healthy and amazingly ripped, and most inspiring of all, they became successful entrepreneurs by simply sharing what Beachbody has done for them. There are so many amazing stories of success with this Beachbody Coaching Opportunity that it would take a bazillion years to tell you =) I know, I'm being a little ridiculous, but it's true, there are so many lives being changed by this fitness movement, the question is, WHY NOT YOU? Why not now?

Straight Up Facts on Beachbody Coaching

So if you are already a Beachbody Coach, then I encourage you to focus on your niche and continue to brand yourself according to that. It will be a TIME SAVER! And if you are not a Beachbody Coach, I think it's time that we talk, because the growth of this opportunity is insane, and if you don't hop onboard, guess what? Someone else will, so it might as well be you! =) Of course I am pretty selective with whom I bring on to my team, but if you have BIG GOALS and you love helping people, then that's definitely a start!

TOP 5 Struggles of Beachbody Coaching

TOP 5 Struggles of Beachbody Coaching

First of all, I just wanted to let you know that I am not magnifying the negatives of Beachbody Coaching, I am merely sharing the reality of what happens, and simply offering simple solutions based on what I have done, and what many other successful coaches have done before me.  As with any business venture, there are challenges, but with adversity comes opportunity, remember that =) The people who stick it out and fight their battles to the end will reign supreme. Beachbody Coaching is one of the most rewarding things that you will ever experience, it just takes some hard work and dedication. Let's face it, most people work hard and super long hours for a boss day in and day out, so why not do it for you and your family?

Straight Up Facts on Beachbody Coaching

Please take note of the struggles below, but most importantly, know that these struggles are meant to challenge you, not defeat you.

-  BELIEF
When you tell your children that they can do, or be whatever they want to be when they grow up, most parents really mean it because they truly BELIEVE in their kids. One of the BIGGEST reasons why a Beachbody Coach succeeds is because they become a product of the product by using the fitness programs and drinking Shakeology. Have you ever seen Steve Jobs with an Android Phone or PC? Or what about Bill Gates with an iPad? I think not! If you use your own products, you will get better results and be more willing to share it with people successfully, and that's what Beachbody Coaching is all about, sharing....NOT selling.

-  WHAT OTHERS THINK
Ask yourself this question: Are the people who you are worried about sharing this opportunity with paying your bills? Do they put food on your table and support your kids? Do they pay for your vacations, and do they really care if you actually succeed or not? I knew from the very beginning as a Beachbody Coach that it doesn't matter what other people think about what I do, because what I do has nothing to do with them, and everything to do with my family. When you start thinking about what other people think, just go back to what is the most important thing in your life, because that's what matters most. I recommend surrounding yourself with POSITIVE people who only want success for you and truly understand what your goals are, it really makes a big difference!

Living Digitally Nomadic as a Beachbody Coach

-  CONSISTENCY
Most people quit way too early before they achieve something great. Everyone wants to be more healthy and fit, make more money, travel the world etc. but they aren't willing to do the work everyday to get the results. Beachbody Coaching is all about sharing your healthy lifestyle, and helping others do the same thing. Success as a Beachbody Coach is not about tackling huge projects everyday, it's about doing SMALL THINGS DAILY. I think it all boils down to how big your dreams and goals are, and trust me, I used to think that dreams and goals were "cheesy", but that's because of the people I surrounded myself with, they just weren't goal-orientated. If you want change in your life, then it's simple, you have to change some things in your life, and this means doing more than you're doing right now, and connecting with trustworthy people who will keep you accountable to your goals. Being consistent is a challenge for everyone, and it's tough to do it on your own. As a Beachbody Coach, you are not alone, you have a team to help you during your good and bad days. Heck, I will help you, that's what Coaches do! =)

-  TEACHABLE
"You can't teach an old dog new tricks", that is totally false. It's more like, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks if they don't want to". I've seen people come into the Beachbody Coaching Business with some great ideas, but if it didn't work, they would get discouraged and just quit. Just a quick example on Franchising. There are thousands of franchising opportunities out there, and all of them offer a system of success, and all you have to do is follow the guidelines. Beachbody Coaching is very similar, but guess what, you're not paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in franchise fees. It's only $39.95 to become a Coach and own your own online fitness empire, and that fee is waived when you become a Coach with one of the many Fitness Challenge Packs. Imagine building a 6 or 7 figure income business in less than 2-5 years, with virtually no employees! Yes, it's totally possible, and you can do this with Beachbody Coaching by simply following the system that is in place for you. Be teachable, and see what happens! =)

-  REJECTION 
I once watched motivational speaker John C Maxwell at a Beachbody Coach Summit event in Las Vegas as he shared a story about someone who came up to him after one of his speaking engagements. This person said, "John, you are really good at speaking and motivating the crowd", and John said, "it took a lot of practice!" =) John C Maxwell has made millions speaking all over the world, but it wasn't always that easy for him. What if he quit in the very beginning when people told him that he would never make it, or told him that he was not good enough? Rejection happens to the best of us, and the people who learn to embrace it will be the ones who come out on top. When someone says NO to me, I simply just say NEXT because the NO'S really just don't matter. It might take some time to realize that, but it will happen I promise. Yes, being rejected from family and friends hurt, but that's mostly because they don't fully understand what you are doing, and they cannot see the big picture. That's completely normal =). Not everyone will understand or care about what you are doing, and it's not about that. It's about the people who see your vision, support you, and eventually join you in your venture. The most successful people in the world have clearly gone through the most rejections. If you desire success as a Beachbody Coach, or in any business or challenge for that matter, it's all about changing your focus, and treating rejection as a means to getting closer to your goal. Embrace the SUCK, it will be worth it.

In closing, we hear this all the time, but yes, the struggle is all so real. But you either let it destroy you, or you let it define you, it's your choice. Beachbody Coaching is a very powerful opportunity. It has made a huge impact in my life, and I know that it can for you too. If you're ready to live a better life for you and your family, please don't hesitate to message me, I'd love to meet you!
