Success vs Significance

I want to share something that is on my heart tonight. I want you to realize there is a HUGE difference between being successful and being significant. Success is just temporary. Yea, it feels great and the status of being "successful" is nice. BUT: if that is all you are focusing on in life YOU WILL NEVER BE FULFILLED. Significance is the eternal difference you make in a person. It is the very stamp you mark your legacy with. How many people are you able to impact in a positive way? Who are you able to share Christ with? What is the CORE of who you are? What is most important to you? If tomorrow was your last day on earth who would you spend your time with? What would you spend your time doing? These are all things we too easily forget about during our crazy, fast-paced lives! What matters is family. relationships. spending quality time with those who are most precious to us. 

Don't get so wrapped up making a living that you forget to make a life. 

I am currently in the process of designing how I want my life to be written. I will NEVER strive to be successful because my purpose on earth is FAR greater than success. I can promise you I will strive to be SIGNIFICANT because THAT is why I am here. We have all been created with talents and passions that are specifically ours. Nobody else will be able to do the same thing you can do, the way you can do it - simply because nobody else is wonderful you! 

I want you to take a moment - less than three minutes and watch this video. When it is over I want you to WRITE DOWN what is most important to you. I want you to decide what you want your life to look like.......because you have the freedom and the ability to live it exactly how you want to, regardless of what others have told you that you are capable of. This coaching opportunity has completely BLOWN ME AWAY with what is possible. I am here to help you dream! To help you create a life you are proud of! To help you find happiness and freedom that does not come from chasing success! 

I wish you a fabulous Friday evening and enjoy your weekend with the ones you love! 

If you want to share your goals and dreams with me - you know I'm here and excited to talk to you! I'm a dreamer myself and love getting excited with you about where you want this life to take you! Get out of your own way and dream! Sky's the limit!

I share these thoughts with you because I genuinely care about you! 😘

While talking to a friend yesterday I had a flashback.....a rather important one to myself! Something I am SURE you can relate to......something I didn't know if I should share.....BUT. I believe it is important to be transparent to best help those around me!

Last summer during my maternity leave my husband and I were on a SUPER tight budget! 8 weeks of UNPAID maternity leave isn't exactly easy to catch up from. I knew I was going back to work and that we would be able to get caught up financially......the thing is, who likes to work full time and still feel that you live paycheck to paycheck? NOT ME! My husband and I are best friends so to have finances as a strain on our relationship is not helpful at all. I had heard about the Beachbody Coaching opportunity as a business in the past but didn't know if I could make it work, or could do that as a business.....I didn't even have any extra money to get my first challenge pack to start my own transformation and start my business.

My husband and I had two garage sales that summer to have money towards our house payment. In adding up our profit I looked at him and said, I really think this Coaching thing is worth a try. He agreed to let me take some of that money, which seemed really risky at the time, and I bought my challenge pack and started my own business. For the mamas who are reading this post I know you'll understand my next thought:

Besides feeling stressed over our money situation I was unhappy with how I looked when I looked in the mirror. Yes, I was still on maternity leave. No, there was not a single thing I regretted about having my sweet, sweet daughter! For some silly reason us women always look at ourselves with a critical eye!  I was ready to commit and make a positive change in my self esteem and in my fitness routine.

The moment I clicked "complete order"  my stomach sank. Thoughts of doubt filled my mind. What if I didn't finish the program? What if I didn't have time to plan clean eating meals? What if this whole business idea is a joke and waste of my time and money? THOSE ARE ALL NORMAL THOUGHTS!

Fast forward six months............

My daughter will be seven months old this month already! TIME GOES BY SO QUICKLY! Those silly doubts I had in July are reminders of how human we are to put our dreams in a box! I am currently 4 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight! I FEEL BETTER than before I was pregnant because my nutrition is dialed in with an entire new mindset of how I view food! My convenient and effective daily workouts have become a "norm" in my everyday routine besides working full time. Shakeology is at least ONE daily meal for me - sometimes two as it has helped me TREMENDOUSLY with my weight loss goals! I will NEVER stop drinking it and when my daughter is older she will be able to drink it also!

The exciting financial part? I no longer work full time just to live paycheck to paycheck! I am making AT LEAST  a couple hundred dollars extra each month! That's enough to cover my own monthly cost of Shakeology AND have money left over! The BEST PART? The amount doesn't stop there. As I continue to work my business, it continues to grow exponentially!

I am SO glad I decided to say "YES" and FIND A WAY to start my business! I totally understand the scary financial decision to start. Money DOES NOT grow on trees so to try something new on a new path can be terrifying.

All I can say is Beachbody has changed my life for the better! I am getting in the best shape of my life, I feel more confident than ever (that is worth A LOT) , and financially I am doing the best I ever have.

I share this with you not to brag, but to tell you THERE IS MORE for you than the daily grind and always feeling broke, tired, and unhappy with yourself. I am currently looking for FIVE ladies who want the same thing that I have found. I will be here to support you, encourage you, and help YOU grow your own business as well! The only way is up! We are a TEAM. I will do this WITH YOU. You can do it! I had my doubts - all the way until today when I realized my Beachbody account had more in it today for the first time than what my average regular checking account has in it during the week! I promise those doubts fade away when you get to the other side and see your dreams slowly come true! Stop limiting yourself and live by design!

Now.....who are those 5 ladies who want in? Let's do this! #girlboss

Every year about this time I begin thinking what I'd like to have as a New Year's Resolution...It seems like there is a common trend each year...eat healthier, lose weight, tone, pay off debt, etc....This year I am wanting to keep those things in mind, but I also have a new goal. It is to help AS MANY ladies as possible to start LOVING THEMSELVES again and get healthy and fit in the New Year! 

I know how it can be when we feel unattractive and feel lost as to where to turn for help.

**I know there are some of you ladies who took care of yourselves in the past but put yourselves on the back burner to care for your husbands, children, families, etc. While that is all wonderful it is STILL IMPORTANT to make time for YOU so that you're able to better care for them! 

**There are others who have wanted to eat better and get in better shape ALL of 2015 - BUT NEVER MADE A PLAN.....A goal without a plan is only A WISH. STOP WISHING! START DOING! We will talk via text, IM, phone call, etc and talk about your goals and MAKE THAT PLAN so you are able to transform yourself in 2016!

**There are also some of you who have recently finished your pregnancy and feel blah when you look in the mirror! That was ME last summer! (can you say frumpy post preggers butt? ah! lol.....) I can help you work back up to a fitness routine and kickstart your day with a CONVENIENT, healthy meal (that you can make with one hand while holding that baby in the other...lol) It will keep you on track while gradually easing back into that fit lifestyle! (safe for breastfeeding as well!)

**Also  - there are some of you who have completely blown it and derailed at the end of this year! HEY! It is OKAY! 2016 is a brand new year to start over again!!!! 

**I know there are also some of you reading this who have a workout routine in place and also eat clean most of the time! Maybe you are looking for that healthy meal replacement to BOOST your current routine and keep you on track for when you do cheat here and there! ;) Still gotta live!

ALL OF US ARE IN DIFFERENT PLACES IN OUR LIVES. ALL OF US ALSO HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON. WE WANT TO FEEL CONFIDENT AND LOVE WHO WE ARE! 

In 2016 I promise to help you start living the life you deserve, by offering my personal mentorship, plugging you into a group of amazing women who have and are learning to love themselves again. I will help you regain your self-confidence through fitness, nutrition, and sense of purpose! 

With my mentorship, you'll have your choice of fitness program ( I will help you find a program for you based on your needs) and a complete nutrition plan. You will be sharing the journey with a group of ladies just like yourself (THAT MEANS YOU ARE AMAZING YOURSELF!) And if you're interested in earning an additional income you'll have that option as well. 

You ARE beautiful inside and out and deserve to be happy and live an extraordinary life. If you are ready to get started please contact me! 2016 is going to be a HUGE year for us! It is time to make positive changes and I am really excited to gain more amazing ladies on my team! Know that who you were in 2015 does not define who you can be in 2016! It is a blank slate ready to be written.....what will you do?

I am excited to announce that I am looking for other motivated individuals who want to start a new lifestyle of being healthier. People who want to not only eat healthier, get into a convenient, at home workout routine, but get paid to help others do the same! When I started out with Beachbody's programs to lose my baby weight, I didn't know that it would lead to such a fulfilling lifestyle! My daily Shakeology shake and my daily workout (I have now completed Piyo, Brazil Butt Lift, and 21 Day Fix) helped me lose weight and tone in ways I could not have done by piecing together a random workout at a gym!

I signed up as a "coach" just for the discount and love the 25% off I get with anything I order! When a few people asked me how I was getting the results they were seeing, I told them about it and they purchased their own programs and Shakeology for themselves as well! Long story short, Since I've been telling people about this since July this year, I'm already making a couple hundred dollars extra a month! What would a few extra hundred do for you monthly? Help pay bills? Have "fun" money to go shopping or on a weekend trip? Save up for a yearly vacation you'd love to afford? Don't confine your dreams to in a box!

I am not stopping here! This train is leaving! lol......I'm taking EVERYONE with me who wants this lifestyle also. I am showing them the ropes, helping them take the same steps I did to get on track with healthier eating and feeling stronger with simple, yet effective workouts! I WILL HELP YOU.  It is totally doable! Promise. If I can do it while working full-time and with a baby - SO CAN YOU.

It is SO fun to be part of a network of other people who are all working towards the same thing- being healthy and helping others do the same! Such a positive force! It is so enjoyable. I like to pick and choose what I do with my little bit of free time after work and after baby is asleep. I can promise you one thing. Being a Beachbody coach is worth it. Every single minute of it.

Wanna join my team? Let's chat and see if it is a good fit for you!!!

*********************************************************************************

 There are THREE different types of coaches!  Who knew, right?  Let me elaborate... 

Discount Coach ~ or really a "preferred customer".  This is someone who LOVES the products but has no desire to sell or coach.  NO problem!  You can take full advantage of a 25% off discount just by signing up.  This is on your Shakeology, programs, apparel, supplements, equipment, etc.!  No selling and you literally do not have to ever talk about the fact you are a Beachbody coach.  There is a $15.95 monthly coach fee, but you are STILL saving $16 a month on your Shakeology order, which is a savings of over $200 a year.   

Hobby Coach ~ you LOVE Shakeology and Beachbody products, and think it would be nice if you could make just enough to cover your shakeology order each month.  Yes, that can be done and it's easy to reach that goal!  Or maybe you have a full-time job and you are just looking to make a little extra FUN money from talking to people about how the products have changed your life.

Business Builder ~ you love the products, drink Shakeology and use the programs every day.  You believe wholeheartedly in them and want to pay it forward while earning a significant income as a coach.  You are ALL IN and participate in trainings and other opportunities to grow your business.  You want to be a top coach and have a goal of a six-figure income or beyond!!

Hey there! This is just a quick post to remind you that it is NEVER to late to invest in yourself! This past week I've gotten off track a bit, I skipped a few workouts and made some food choices that didn't help me with my goal! Why? Because life happens and we are human and still have to live! What keeps me motivated is each day is a new chance to start over! A clean slate! I love that my Shakeology keeps me on track with my food choices - my 30 minute daily workouts are totally doable! My favorite thing: YOU!!!!!

I LOVE that I have other people on my team pushing towards the same goals!
1-Get healthier
2-Feel better
3-Make some money doing #'s 1&2

I feel inspired and motivated as I see my friends make the choice to work on themselves! It is truly a ball of positive energy and excitement! If you have not given it a try yet, I WOULD LOVE to see you invest in YOU and give it a try! All you have to lose is inches and a negative view of yourself! lol....

It is so easy for me to be critical of myself...unhealthy choices don't help how I feel about myself...It is crazy what an esteem booster it is to finish a thirty minute workout or drink my Shakeology....it is just knowing that I did something positive and healthy for myself....it is a great feeling! Positivity leads to more positivity - It is like a crazy runaway train with nothin' but greatness!!! haha....

Keep on keeping on and keep that chin of yours up! We all backslide here and there...what matters is that we make the decision to start over again!
