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?

Why People Quit Beachbody Coaching

Well this can get really heated ha ha =)

Firstly, for those of you who know me, I'm the type of person who always tries to find the good in everything, and with this topic considered to be a "negative" for some, it is still my goal to find the brighter side of things. So let's dig in and find out why some Beachbody Coaches Quit.

With anything in life, it's all about finding something that can benefit us. Our primal instincts as humans is to survive, so when we come across something that we deem as too difficult or not pertinent to the path that we would like to take, we quit and either go another route, or unfortunately for many, the same route which leads to mediocrity .

Surviving in life and business today is complicated. Back in the paleolithic days, man had one goal in mind, and that was to survive. And the only way to do that was to hunt and gather food for their family. If they slept in, or decided to not go out and hunt, they would die.

In today's society, things are much different, but surprisingly still the same. Yes, the times have changed with technology and the standards of luxury living, but the goal of surviving hasn't changed. If we do not go out and hunt, we will still die. Today's hunting can mean working or looking for a job, running a successful business to provide for our family. Creating a tribe (company) to help other tribal members provide for their families so that we can take care of ours.

But somewhere in the mix of today's society, we have become lazy and less focused.

Cavemen had no time to be lazy. If they fell asleep during the hunt, they would be hunted and killed in a split second. If we fell asleep today, we could get fired from our jobs, and/or our businesses would fail due to not being productive or innovative.

What does this have to do with Beachbody Coaches?

It has a lot to do with Beachbody Coaches and today's entrepreneurs because the decisions we make can make us or break us.

These are 4 main reasons that I feel from my own experience why most Beachbody Coaches quit: (Please note that this can apply to anything in life)

1.  Difficulty Factor - Some people are just not meant to be Entrepreneurs. They may not have the drive to be a leader of a tribe, even though training is available to them literally 24/7. They may not have found a reason to fight for. Or they might just be plain lazy. DISTRACTION is also part of this. People see shiny objects (hobbies that take away from productivity, surrounding yourself with toxic or unsupportive, non-goal driven people etc) and take them away from what they wanted to accomplish in the first place. But here's the deal, Beachbody Coaching can be difficult for some, and easy for another. It's all about going out and trying something that you've never done before, and doing it 100% for at least 2-5 years. If you can honestly say that you have done that, and the business still hasn't work for you, then yes, it is definitely smart to move on and find where your passion lies elsewhere.

"If you care about what people think about you, you will never make it"

2.  Heart for Helping Others - Some people just don't have it. I know people who can barely support themselves, let along motivate others to become successful. Although there is superior training for this, it's all about people making a decision to really want to make that change. If you're heart is not really into bettering yourself first, then holy crap, it will be very difficult to help others. Most people don't ever pass the barrier of devoting time to making themselves successful in happiness through personal development, so they never get the idea of helping others. Yes, I know that everyone doesn't have the goal of saving the world =), and that's ok. As long as you learn to make yourself happy, then I'm pretty sure that any Beachbody Coach out there would appreciate the fact that you are spreading good vibes. It's all about respecting and being happy for others, Beachbody Coach or not.

3.  Money - I've seen this a lot. Ok, I know that this is a business. Becoming a Beachbody Coach is like owning your own business, so yes, it is a "for-profit" enterprise. But it starts with something called INTEGRITY. In order to really become successful as a Beachbody Coach, you really have to change lives. If you are not making an impact in the community and coaching people through their fitness and financial journey, you will not make it. It's about investing a lot of your time into people. And unfortunately, most people aren't dedicated enough to do that, and I find that to be really sad. If you are a successful Beachbody Coach, that only means that you have helped thousands of people, and that's something to be proud of. Beachbody Coaching is not about selling materialistic items, it's really about selling a lifestyle. The fitness and health products are designed to help people become better humans, and what a movement that is! So I don't know about you, but I would rather be a part of something that is helping people become more happy and healthy versus just selling them something that just makes money. Reality check, if you're a greedy person, you will not last very long in this business, and that's a fact. Success is about putting people first, always has been. It's a relationship building business, just like any other business out there. Without people, we have no business. And trust me, I didn't make that up, just ask the people at Apple or Facebook if they need people to build a business =)

4.  Opportunity - As humans, it's about surviving right. So there will always be opportunities that will present itself to us. For me, I believe in diversifying my income, as any entrepreneur should. Some people feel it necessary to quit something and go towards what they feel is a better opportunity. This is my take on that, it's your life, do with it as you wish. If you feel that quitting something and moving on to the "next big thing" is something that will help you become successful, then by all means go for it. But how many times are you going to do this? Most people do not understand that it doesn't really matter what they do because they already have what it takes to become successful within themselves. It's not about a company or a new compensation plan, it's about your commitment, determination, and integrity. It's about the fight in you. Everywhere we go, there will always be challenges, and I'm sure that most of you would agree that quitting is not going to make things better. Instead of quitting, how about diversifying? Maybe try getting strong inside before making a decision to just repeat the same old process of searching for something that you already have. Now don't get me wrong, people have become successful leaving jobs to start businesses, or leaving other businesses to start larger empires, and that's great! All I'm saying is that it isn't about a company, it's all about bettering you. Without the right mindset, success will always be one step ahead. Change that mindset, change your life.

#IAmTeamBeachbody - The Global Impact is Coming!

I've been a Beachbody Coach for over 6 years now. I absolutely love it. From the products to the people, there is something to be said about a company who's main focus is to help people live healthy and more fulfilling lives. We are on the path to making a global impact, and I cannot begin to tell you how exciting that is. If you are all about bettering yourself, helping others, building a business with integrity, and making an impact, I'd love to chat with you about the possibilities. We need more people like you =)

#IAmTeamBeachbody - The time is now!

My Favorite Part Of What I Do

The man who taught me about Entrepreneurship - my father

At a very young age, I remember helping my father with his restaurant and food concession business. I would wake up everyday, and I would witness my father working all the time. It's almost as if that's all he did. He was still in the Navy at the time, and on the weekends, he would be selling food at festivals and fairs all over the USA.

I'm on the very far right with my Stretch Armstrong

I didn't know what an Entrepreneur was, all I knew was that my father believed in working for himself. He told me one day that if you want something, you have to go and get it yourself, and that by working for someone else, you would never be able to achieve your fullest potential.

As I got older, I began to understand what my father was teaching me. I started to find work on my own and ventured out of the family business, but I always felt out of place. I always felt like I should be the owner of the companies that I worked for, or at least, that's what I envisioned. My father planted a seed in me that I could one day be an Entrepreneur and build my own business just like he did.

My father came from poverty in the Philippines. He is not college educated, and never considered himself as a professional. He's a hustler. He's a family man. He's my inspiration.

My father is my inspiration

Spartan Race with Dad

To see my father come from a 3rd world country and become successful in a 1st world country is inspiring. If he could do it, why not me?

As the years went by, I took on plenty of jobs, and even started businesses that either failed, or became successful, but I somehow lost my passion.

As humans, we are always looking for happiness. Some people find happiness and success at a very young age......I didn't. I took me awhile to find something that I was truly passionate about.

6 years ago, I found my passion in health and fitness and helping others along the way. Prior to that, I was out of shape, miserable, and was a borderline alcoholic. P90X changed my life.

Never forget where you came from

Everything that my father taught me at an early age started to come back to me in full swing. With my life in shambles, it was time to rebuild.....mind you I was already in my late 30's to early 40's. It has taken me all this time to find my true calling.

You see, life is mysterious. It doesn't work like you always want it too, but in the end, with patience, and the willingness to learn, things happen when you don't give up. Was it hard? YES. Is it still hard? ABSOLUTELY!

Anything worth doing will bring on many challenges. It's really about finding something that helps you propel forward. It's about finding a reason to believe, and finding that thing or person to fight for. In this case, it's my daughter and my family. Yes, I have goals and hobbies, and things that I like to do for myself, but my family will always be number one.

I work hard everyday for my family

There are a lot of things that I love about what I do. But if you were to ask me what my favorite part of what I do is......it would be the FREEDOM. It was never about the money, never was.....it was always about living my life on my own terms.

That's my favorite part.

During Coach Summit in New Orleans, I had a couple of my coaches join me for my Day 4, Abs Workout, yes, they are so nice! Also, as you know, my core and flexibility are the weakest (if you've been following my journey), so it was awesome to have some motivation alongside with me =)
