Manage Your money, Manage Your Life.

 Money. It's pretty much the one thing that is on every ones mind constantly. We often live day to day, allowing the demands of the present to swallow up our money and time. We watch the money—usually not enough—come in, and we watch it go out. We often feel we don't have any control over it, so why should we worry about trying to manage it? Too often, people complain about "not having enough money." Growing up, like everyone I have witnessed my parents financial mistakes, and have learned from them. I was too often considered "spoiled" as a child, but I never had anything handed to me. I was taught to work for what I wanted; good grades, wash the car, clean my room, etc. They were the average chores, but now I realize that they meant so much more. They were helping to build the base to the start of my life (thanks mom!). My husband and I are very young, we live a very good and blessed life, but we work very hard for everything that we have. Yes, my job is not some corporate office job but i enjoy it, i enjoy knowing that every time that I work I am $1 closer to a better future for me and my family. 

 Which gets me on another subject, if we teach children at a very young age about the value of money, how much better would the outcome be? The benefits of teaching your children about money early on are both immediate and long term. In the short term, they may develop strong saving habits, learn how to make smart purchases, begin to understand the true meaning of "investment," and perhaps even learn why they can't immediately get everything they want. In the long term, you can help them avoid accumulating debt. And by teaching the value of saving for the future, you can help them plan for financial security. A high school teen that I know is excited about getting a long period of time off from his job, so now his weekends are always free. He's a dish washer. He said "Where does $23 get me anyways?" Ummm hello! Save! Maybe it's just me, but I can think of plenty of things to do with $23. That's just one of the million examples that I see on a daily basis that drive me crazy!

 Money, it may be the root of all evil, but you can't avoid it. Managing it can help reduce the stress in your life. It can help give you a plan to take care of unexpected events and expenses. Nobody ever said that the road to success was going to be simple, but you can make it easier.

On a Beachbody Note...

Can I Make Money as a Beachbody Coach?

 This is a question I hear all the time and I always say the question you need to be asking is, “Will you make money as a Beachbody coach?” Anyone can make money as a coach but not everyone makes money as a coach.  Let me put it to you this way, if you follow the system that has been put together for Beachbody coaches then there is a pretty good chance you will be successful.  As coaches we have the best tools, the best products (P90X, Shakeology, Insanity, TurboFire etc), and the best team and support. Having all of these things makes running a successful business easy, if you just

follow these steps.

1. You have to be willing. This is what we do. We help! We help people pick out fitness programs and nutrition, while keeping them motivated.

2. You have to commit to being a product of the product. If you don’t eat at your own restaurant you can’t expect others too. Choose a work out program or get on the HD order of Shakeology. (Darn, guess that means you are going to get in awesome shape.)

3. You have to treat your Beachbody business like a business. This is a real business and you need to treat it as if you just invested $250 thousand on a franchise.  You wouldn’t invest $250k and just see how it goes.  The same is true with your Beachbody business.  You need to commit to it and make it happen.

-You don not need to be a health or fitness professional to become a Beachbody coach.

-You do not need to be in the best shape of your life to become a Beachbody coach.

If you can do these things then you can make money as a Beachbody coach.  I can’t tell you how much as that depends on you.  Do you want to make a little? OK. Do you want to make a lot? OK, you can do that too. Once you get going your income can only go up and most of it will be residual.  Meaning you will get this week after week, month after month and year after year.

The average personal trainer makes $42,200 a year.

The average club owner makes $80,380 a year.

The average Star Diamond Beachbody Coach makes $164,166 a year in residual money.  So you could potentially take a month off and your income could potentially go up. Even if you were a 90% failure from this number you would still make over $16,000 a year. Contact me so we can talk and see if being a being a Beachbody coach is for you!
