How to Find Your Vehicle to Success

Define SUCCESS?

For me, success is happiness, and being able to live life on my own terms. Success is not about monetary goals, it's more about knowing that the more wealth that you create, the more you can ultimately make a big impact whether it be giving back to a charity, church, your family, or even yourself.

Do you want to make an impact?

Making a difference in this world is not for everyone, but making a difference for you....well, most people would agree on that. But how do you do that right?

Through my years "on the job", I was always searching for the BEST business opportunity, the best way to make money, and even the fastest way to earn it. I learned a lot, what not to do, what works for me etc. Now, I cannot say that I am an expert, but what I can do is share with you what I've done and how it can benefit you.

Network Marketing. Yeah, let's go straight to the point. This is my sole source of income, and I believe that it is the best type of residual income out there, other than buying into a franchise which most people rarely even have the income to make a half million dollar investment to succeed.

The first time that I was introduced into the network marketing industry was through a company that developed consumable products such as soap and laundry detergent. They were a great company, and I loved the people and the camaraderie, but I just wasn't passionate about the products. Yes, the products were amazing, but not enough for me to get excited to share them with my friends.

Many years passed by, and I kept searching for other business opportunities, not necessarily network marketing businesses, but just anything that I can try my luck at. I've dabbled in online casinos, travel concierge services, nightlife marketing, eCommerce, affiliate marketing, and even day trading. But guess what I went back to? Network Marketing! Why? Because it works! And here's why:

It's all about finding a product or service that you love and use. It's not about the selling, it's about the belief. Is it something that you would share with your family and friends? If not, then it's not a product or service that is right for you. Do you believe in the company's ethics code? That's very important too! It's also about educating yourself about the Network Marketing industry itself, and how it works, what makes it legit etc. There is a reason why network marketing is a WHOPPING billion dollar industry, and why it also creates more millionaires than any other industry out there. Do you know why?

Because it's a PEOPLE BUSINESS. It's about people helping people. It's about building relationships, making friends, camaraderie, helping people because you love doing it, not because you can make money from them. That's where people fail in this industry.....they make it all about money, and that's the worst thing that you can do. People aren't stupid, they know if they are trying to be sold to, that's where most people fail, they're doing it all wrong!

The people who are successful in network marketing are true professionals who came from nothing and learned the ropes, and the one's that you see flooding your Facebook feed with annoying products and fake posts, well......those are the amateurs.

Ok, for all of you who are not "people persons", trust me, I know where you are coming from. I can be anti-social at times (well maybe a lot ha ha), but we're human, we need human interaction, I know...it sucks lol =). But what I've found in what I do with network marketing is that, you can impact lives without even talking to people. I have learned many ways to do this, but one of my best avenues for success have been from blogging, and I am not even a writer, I'm actually terrible at it, but it is the best way that I've learned how to express myself and connect with others. Do you relate? Trust me, there's something for everyone in this industry, and I'm here to help you find what works best for you!

With technology these days, you can potentially build a multi-million dollar business from your smartphone or laptop. Training systems are at your finger tips 24/7! There are so many ways to connect with people without doing the traditional old way of home meetings and using a white board....yuck! This may be great for people who love being in front of people, but I've met a lot of people like me (hates being a salesman), and it's all about finding your strength and running with it. As technology changes, so does the network marketing industry, and mind you, for the better!!!

So how can you use this as a vehicle to success? Here are my success points to using today's Network Marketing business concepts as a vehicle to your success in anything that you want to do:

-  Find a company that has products and services that you love
-  Make sure that the company has integrity and has good ratings with the Better Business Bureau
-  Start small by just learning about the industry, the long term benefits, and incorporate the business into your lifestyle
-  Don't sell, do share
-  Start a blog about anything that you love, and incorporate online banners and links from the products that you love and use from the company that you have chosen to partner with.
-  Don't change who you are (NO, NO, NO!!!), use the products and services to enhance your life and share it
-  Be consistent. If you make it part of your life on a daily basis, it will be organic with your network of friends. Don't do "sudden burst" business posts, like all of a sudden you're a business consultant yeah right, that's fake....just be upfront with people and let them know that you are testing the waters and don't be afraid to get their opinions.
-  Your job is still a priority while you are just getting started with a new business, but treat your business like a business, and it will be a business. Treat it like a hobby, and it will always be a hobby.
-  Believe in what you do, get rid of toxic people in your life. Find true supporters and surround yourself with people who want "REAL" (and I quote) real success for you.

All the above is what I've personally done with my network marketing business and it has allowed me to expand my ideas into other business projects that I am passionate about. You may not like the idea of network marketing as a financial vehicle, and that's ok, this was the vehicle that I used and love and what has taken me to the next journey in my life. If you choose network marketing, or you are on the fence about it, feel free to message me, I can help. If you decide to go another route and choose a different vehicle to help you with your success, then that's great too! It's all about respecting and supporting each other, and I'll be honest, there just aren't enough people doing this. Keep moving forward, and I hope to see you somewhere around this beautiful planet =)

Thanks to Network Marketing, I am able to travel the world and pursue my passion in filming 

obstacle course racing events, it's been a blessing!

When I Became A Beachbody Coach back in 2010, I Never Thought....

Yes, I've been a Beachbody Coach for almost 7 years now!

And although I am far from being where I envision myself, I have to say that it's been an amazing journey. They say that in order to stay focused and happy, it is encouraged to always point out the things that are GREAT in our lives. So let me start my day by sharing what my Beachbody Coaching Business has given me, I am so thankful!

1.  I haven't had a job working for a boss in almost 5 years.

2.  I've visited almost 40 countries.

3.  I started a cause-related video media project which brings in millions of social media views and helps me raise awareness for charities around the world.

Thanks to my Online Coaching Business, I am able to travel around the world,

and spread the word about my OCRTUBE media project

4.  The FREEDOM to spend as much time with my daughter and family without a job telling me when I can.

5.  I am in better shape than I was in high school.

I would like to point out that it may seem like I am bragging, but I honestly have to tell you that I am not. I am celebrating my successes just like I would like to encourage you to celebrate yours. By putting this in writing, it makes a bigger difference in not just making bigger goals for yourself, but it can inspire others to achieve more. I've learned that it's not just about me, it's about truly helping others.

Was it easy?

If I told you all the things that I had to go through to get the things listed above, you probably would say, "no thank you". Here's the thing, I was tired of being told what to do. I was tired of working for someone else's dreams, and not mine. I was tired of having to go back home when I was having so much fun on vacation. I was tired of not having quality time with my family.

I was tired of just being tired.

It took a lot out of me....blood, sweat and tears to create a life by design, but if you were to ask me if it was worth it, I would say.....ABSOLUTELY!

So based on the things that I have listed above, I have created more goals on top of that, and here they are. Again, I am putting this out there to hold me accountable, and to maybe find others that have similar goals so that I can make new connections. Did I do this on my own, heck no! There were hundreds of people responsible for creating my life by design, they know who they are =). But I have new goals, bigger goals, and I'm searching for more people with VISION. Do you have vision? Are you ready to live your life?

1.  I haven't had a job in almost 5 years, now my goal is to create opportunities for people whether it be a job or a chance to become an entrepreneur.

(2011)

2.  I've visited almost 40 countries, but there are 196 countries, so I have a long ways to go!

3.  I started a cause-related media project called OCRTUBE.com, my goal is to continue my mission of spreading the benefits of obstacle course racing (along with health and fitness in general) around the world through social media efforts, and eventually donate millions to global causes. I aspire to become a Philanthropist. 

4.  I have more freedom to spend time with my family, that's the most important thing to me. But how awesome would it be if I can show others how to gain physical and financial freedom for themselves? For me, that's one of the most meaningful things anyone could do.

5.  Yes, I am in better shape than I was in high school. Now it's time to help others! From this point forward, I would like to help at least 3-5 people per month get in the best shape possible. So if you're ready to start a fitness journey, please feel free to contact me, I promise to always be there for you.

When I became a Beachbody Coach back in 2010, I never thought that I would accomplish half of these things because I was an extreme introvert, and I still am, but this business really changes you, and that's addicting. Once you begin to see some positive changes, it's really hard to look back, so what do you do? You continue moving forward. What about you? Are you ready for change?

Opportunity to Make a Difference {Health & Fitness}

It's time to Make a Difference!

LAST NIGHT, I had the opportunity to be on a video conference call with some of the TOP leaders in the fitness industry, as well as the amazing CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler.

First and foremost, I just wanted to let you know that this post is NOT trying to sell you, recruit you, or even try MOTIVATE you. The goal for this LAST MINUTE post is simply just to throw some ideas and numbers by you, especially if you've ever thought of getting involved with the health and fitness industry as an ENTREPRENEUR focused on really making a difference.

And not just any entrepreneur who sells products and services, I'm talking about owning your own internet company that is truly based on helping people achieve some big goals - fitness and financial. You see, as an online Beachbody Coach, financial success is based on how many people you help, not about how many fitness products you sell.

I've been involved with companies in the past where in order to be successful, you had to sell things like soap, make up, and phone services just to name a few, and while some of these products are consumable and just made sense because we were all doing it anyway, I was really never passionate about it. During the process of selling, I didn't experience any REAL life-changing events, and although I loved the concept, my heart just wasn't in it.

When I finally found Beachbody, the company that I am affiliated with, that all changed. I actually found success before earning a decent income. It wasn't about the money, it was more about making changes in my health and fitness and sharing it with others. You see, I experienced LIFE-CHANGING events and I wasn't even making any money. As time went on, I began to just focus on helping people with their health and fitness goals, and all of a sudden, I had a business, and I began receiving paychecks every week....just for sharing my lifestyle with people!

Never considering what I did as a business (I always thought of what I did as a Beachbody Coach as a hobby because I loved it so much), I began to realize that there is potential in creating a life by design, you know.....doing something that you are actually PASSIONATE about, and making a living out of it. I never knew anything like that existed, I thought that athletes and celebrities only lived this type of lifestyle....I was wrong.

If you look at the photo above. The CEO of Beachbody displayed some average health and fitness stats from just North America alone. According to the numbers above, there are currently more than 226 MILLION people who still need help. 226 MILLION people who are out of shape and miserable. 226 MILLION people who are looking for people like you and I to help them live a better life for themselves and their families.

With Beachbody CEO Carl Daikeler

Do you have Entrepreneur Tendencies, but just don't know where to start? Do you really want to make a difference by helping people? Then WHY NOT YOU? Why not help me and thousands of others who are part of this movement to END THE TREND OF OBESITY, why not you, and why not now?

You've heard of companies like Uber who is the largest taxi company in the world, but does not own ONE TAXI. You've heard of the company Airbnb, who is considered a real estate and hotel company, but doesn't own any hotels at all. What about this company called AirDine founded in Sweden. They are one of the fastest-growing restaurant companies, and they don't even own ONE RESTAURANT! These companies are making BILLIONS for providing a service to people, and at the same time, also helping people with their financial goals as well.

Now imagine yourself owning one of the biggest health and fitness related internet companies with the potential to earn millions by helping millions, and GUESS WHAT, you can do this from anywhere around the world with a laptop or smartphone, and you don't even have to own a single GYM! That's the power behind owning your own Online Beachbody Coaching Business. WHY NOT YOU, WHY NOT NOW?

Message me here, and let me help you get started, there are people waiting for us, let's make a difference together! =)

You are the average of the 5 people that you spend most of your time with,

surround yourself with people who will only lift you up and help you grow

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.

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.

Whatever you decide, the Beachbody Coaching Business is an option for you to use in helping you fund your passion and your future. If you would like to see what this business vehicle can do for you, then message me and I'll help you find the best coaching option for you. 

See you at the next race!

Beachbody Performance for Athletes:

Why Become a Beachbody Coach?

What's the big deal? 

Just to set the record straight, I wanted to let you know that this post is by no means focused on trying to "RECRUIT" everyone into the Beachbody Coach lifestyle. In fact, I'll be honest with you, I am pretty darn picky on who I would like on my coach team anyways, but if you're reading this, I'm sure that you are amazing =)

To build a successful online fitness empire, it takes the right people, with the right attitude, and the right vision. Those are the people who I find that I connect with on a personal and business stand point. 

Personal Trainer VS Online Beachbody Coaching

Personal Trainer - Limited territory and clients, you have to be there to make money

Online Beachbody Coach - Unlimited territory/customers, work from anywhere around the world

If helping people is your goal, then isn't helping the masses more in-line with your goals?

Another point here. I am not someone who needs constant recognition, I am not flashy, and I don't get excited about materialistic rewards, or fancy tourist trap trips or BMW's. BUT......I do have goals, I love to travel, I love culture, I love to spend time with my family, I love staying active, I love being without a boss, I love volunteering, and I absolutely love helping people. Oh, and I love to eat....A LOT =)

"There is no such thing as a PERFECT Beachbody Coach, so don't think that you have to be"

Now I totally understand that it's ok to splurge every now and again, and trust me, I do just that sometimes, but through the years, I have learned to appreciate what I have, and everything else I receive is just a sheer bonus in my life. For me, it's not about what you have, it's about experiencing the special moments in your life with the people who matter most. 

So why become a Beachbody Coach?

I have to ask WHY NOT? If I shared the things that my coach family and I have done with the freedom that came from this opportunity, then and only then will you be able fully understand and visualize the BIG PICTURE of what Beachbody Coaching is all about. 

I cannot speak for everyone, but I have met so many amazing people with inspiring stories. I have come to understand that everyone has their own reasons, just like I have my own. No two dreams and goals are the same, there is always something different. But one thing is for sure, I have found that most people want to be more happy, more healthy, have more time in the day, and be more financially stable. Now I don't know about you, but if you throw away all the excuses, and open your mind to the possibilities, this can be the vehicle to help you with those 4 simple things. For me, it's totally worth the risk to achieve that.

But again, this is not for everyone. If you're LAZY, forget it! But if you have the right attitude, and posess a strong vision for your future, then that's a start.

"Beachbody Coaches are NOT Personal Trainers, we are merely people who enjoy the healthy lifestyle, and we simply share it with people, that's it"

What separates Beachbody Coaching from other similar opportunities? 

So I am not a comparison type of person because I know that there are so many amazing opportunities and products out there. But in a nutshell, here are some things to consider:

-  Beachbody Coaching allows you to work towards gaining the 4 simple things above: happiness, health, more time, and financial stability. 

- With a ton of amazing companies out there providing great health products and services, the Beachbody Coaching Business provides a one-stop shop solution for health and fitness. It's not about getting a Crossfit membership at a box, and then buying a supplement from another company. The opportunity provides fitness programs along with premium supplements for your nutritional goals. And on top of all of this, the top notch support from your very own coach family puts everything together. You're in business for yourself (Entrepreneur, CEO etc) but never by yourself. 

- Beachbody Coaching provides a healthy lifestyle that can be monetized by sharing it with people. 

- Unlimited Passive Income, which means having the ability to earn while you are pretty much sleeping. Nope, this is not a sales tactic, I do this all the time, and I'm still amazed! We are all brainwashed to thinking that the only way to make a living is to find a safe, secure job or being a slave to a traditional business. I'm sorry, but I don't want to make a living, I want to live my life! 

So one last time, why become a Beachbody Coach?

Hmmm, I don't know, you tell me =)
