For those of you who don’t know, Super Saturday is a quarterly event that Beachbody coaches host/attend all over the nation.  It is an opportunity to learn about new things coming from the company, to receive training and growth, connect with other coaches and challengers, to fellowship, and to workout together.  It’s a lot of fun. We have been hosting one here in my hometown for a while now. Sometimes they are big, and sometimes small. But it’s ALWAYS a good thing to be a part of ,and I always walk away invigorated and refreshed. 

But THIS Super Saturday, my coach asked me to come to Pittsburgh (which was painfully cold!) to speak at their special weekend training.  Which was a huge honor in itself!  But I also got to receive training, which always fills my cup!

I was asked to share my story of coaching and how I managed to grow my business in the past year.  You see, I have been a coach for 2.5 years, and to say that it was ALL uphill would not be true.  There have been really good times, low times and some in the middle.  But it has consistently been a blessing and a joy to be a coach.  To help others in their health and fitness. To be able to incorporate my faith into something that I love so much.  To be able to become a leader and to make some incredibly wonderful new friends through this. 

I have not always had success in this business, and it is so important for me to evaluate and recognize WHY!  And that is what I shared with some leaders on the dream team.  For a good year and a half after I was a coach, I allowed FEAR to dictate my actions in this business. 

• I wouldn’t post, because I was afraid what people would think.  
• I wouldn’t invite people to a challenge group or to try Shakeology or even coaching, because I was afraid they would say “no”.
• I was SO afraid of failure that I was missing the point.  

Speaking to Diamond Leaders

Once I recognized that, I made a commitment to grow my business and to live out the purpose that God gave me through this opportunity.  

• To teach other women that they are valuable, capable and worth the investment in themselves.
• To teach women that they don’t have to settle for less than God desires for themselves.
• To lead other women in building businesses for themselves and income with integrity and that same purpose. 
• To encourage and inspire women to trust God with their health and their wealth. 

Are there goals I don’t always meet? Yes

Are there setbacks? Yes

Are their late nights and long hours some days? Yes

But I am where God wants me.  Where I need to be for me and my family. I am so fulfilled by what I do as a coach.  And not the big, glamorous weekends filled with parties, recognition and all.

• I love that I can sit at home in my PJs with a cup of tea and lead my team. 
•  That I can work this business and help my Health Bet challengers get ready to kick off an exciting new start in their health tomorrow while sitting by my fire. 
•  That everyday is the opportunity to consistently do the small things- like sharing my workout selfie or sending an encouraging message or inviting someone to take advantage of something that has changed my life!
•  To model a strong work ethic for my children. 
• To lead my team on weekly team calls from my warm and cozy home while my babies sleep in their bed. 

It’s not the parties, the trips or the big shiny objects that make this business beautiful.

It’s the everyday, not so glamorous ones that happen when the world isn’t watching.
