Brittnae got me involved in a few other groups to keep me on track and then the day I had been dreading finally came. She emailed me and told me that I should really consider becoming a Coach. Ugh. AWKWARD. How do I politely say "no way Jose!" to someone who had helped me so much. So, I threw my book of excuses at her.
- I don't have time. I have 6 month old twins at home. I barely have time to shower.
- I don't have the $39.95 sign up fee in our budget
- There's no way in heck I'm going to PAY to be a Coach - that's just stupid - total pyramid scheme.
- I don't have time
- I'm not at my goal weight. Who in their right mind would take fitness advice from me?
- I don't have time
- I don't think I'd be any good at it.
- I don't have time
She never once pressured me. BUT, she did email me every few weeks, just to see if I had changed my mind. And after like the 4th time I was like "LOOK. I'm not interested. If I change my mind, I promise, you'll be the first to know." And she let it go.
I'd watch all of her posts. I'd see what she was doing. I kind of had a feel for what it was to be a Coach, but I still wasn't buying it.
Until she posted her paychecks. That's what really made me re-evaluate the business opportunity. I've always enjoyed fitness. I love helping people. But, I'd been in the fitness industry before and it's HARD to make a living doing that. But, somehow, these Beachbody Coaches were making some decent money by fulfilling their PASSION TO HELP OTHERS. Hmmm...
I argued with myself for MONTHS over it. Part of me wanted to do it. Part of me was terrified of failing at it. And I really didn't want to ask my husband, Justin, for the dang $39.95 to sign-up for something that I'd probably fail at anyway. We were on a tight budget & there just wasn't room for frivolous things like that.
And then, for Mother's Day, my in-laws gave me $60. Woohoo!!! Some "me" money!!! Time to hit the mall or Target!!! Or...
Coach. Coach. Coach. That's all that I kept hearing in my head. Here was my opportunity. I had the money. I wouldn't have to ask my husband for it. If I completely sucked at this and ended up losing the money, at least I wouldn't feel bad because it didn't come out of the budget.
So, I messaged Brittnae and was firing off questions left & right. I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to get scammed. She assured me - try it for the first month. If you decide it's not for you, you can quit & get your money back. So, I, with butterflies in my tummy, signed up before I changed my mind again.
There are some things in life I have regretted doing. Becoming a Coach IS NOT one of them. It truly has been one of the best decisions of my life. It makes my heart swell with happiness to wake up to texts like this...

I have been able to travel & meet the most amazing people. I am able to work from home - setting my own hours & being my own boss. I've been able to help other people embark on their own fitness journeys & reach their goals. I have been able to reach my own fitness goals & do things I never thought possible.
My Beachbody family - fellow Coaches as well as clients - are such blessings in my life.
