Since becoming a Team Beachbody Coach, a lot of my friends and people I meet are curious about what I do as a coach and why I decided to become one. After answering this question hundreds of times, I decided I would write a short note to explain the basic premise of the Beachbody Coaching opportunity and why I became a coach.
Many are surprised to find that I actually stumbled into the business opportunity and wasn’t “recruited” by one of the coaches in the network. I was doing a few of the workout programs and was getting better results from home than I had in years of going to the gym. I was also using some of the supplements, including the Core Nutrition Pack, the P90X recovery formula and the protein bars. I also started drinking Shakeology every day and I hate paying retail if I can get it for less. Since I was on “home direct” for my core nutrition pack and the Shakeology, I get a 25% discount on those products as a coach. Being on “home direct” also gets me free shipping so I am saving about $50-60 dollars a month with the discount and the free shipping. To me, that was a no-brainer. I also knew I was going to be buying other workout programs in the future, so I wanted to get them at the discounted price. Over the past couple of years, I have purchased a number of the Beachbody workout programs as well as tried most of their supplements and there is no telling how much money being a coach has saved me.
In hind sight, just randomly signing up as a “coach” could have been disastrous because I was assigned to a random coach in the network. Fortunately, I got assigned to a group of active leaders in the coaching network and they have all been great helping me build my business without being a pain in the butt. I do my coaching part-time and have grown my business more slowly than a lot of people on my team or in the overall network. The great thing about it is that you can do it at your own pace. There are many who just sign up as a coach just to get the discount like I did and there are others who have signed up as a coach and really worked their business to the point where they have retired from their careers and are doing the coaching business full-time. A number have already grown their businesses to becoming millionaires. Others do it full time and make a good living, and others do it part-time and make a good part-time income.
Every Thursday, I get a check directly from the company deposited into my savings account. Since I don’t rely on that income for my livelihood, it is like a bonus every week. I have used that additional income to pay off a new car and a truck in 8 months and 14 months respectively. My wife and I have also used that money to help fund our vacations every May, which reduced our overall expenses significantly. All for just a few hours a week telling others what I am doing and how they can do the same. I don’t even try to sell anything. I am not a salesman. I am a facility manager by profession. The coaching is a way for me to help other people realize their potential and get themselves healthy and fit just like I have done.
Since becoming a part of the coaching network and Beachbody community, I have been fortunate to meet a lot of great people from all over the country. These people are like me in that they want to help others and love the lifestyle of being a Beachbody coach. Everyone I have met has been very gracious and helped me anyway they can. I am not even in their group, yet they still reach out to help. It is an awesome company with great people, and I am very happy I decided to join. Here are some of the most common questions I have been asked about the business.
What is the Beachbody Business? The company Beachbody was founded by the Carl Daikeler and Jon Congdon in Los Angeles and their company was growing and successful. They specialize in in-home workout programs like Power 90, Slim in 6, P90X, TurboFire, Insanity and many other programs to help people improve their health and fitness from the privacy of their homes. Along the way, they noticed people were helping others on the community message boards and recommending the products to others. They realized that this organic network was a great way to share the products and wanted to give back to those who were having success and sharing. Carl and Jon decided to create a unique network marketing system to support the customers and community members. In 2007, they invited a number of customers to become founding coaches in the network. Since these customers were already achieving success with the programs and sharing with others, it was easy to start getting paid to do what they already were doing. Thus, the Team Beachbody Coaching opportunity was created.
What do the coaches do? We do several things. First, we all use the products ourselves to get healthy and stay healthy. We also recommend products we have used and we provide support to others who are doing the programs and also provide an opportunity for those who are interested in changing their lives financially with the business opportunity. We focus on helping others to build their physical and financial future for the better of the community. As a result, the company rewards us with compensation.
How do coaches get paid? There are a number of ways to earn income with the Beachbody coach’s compensation plan. But basically we earn a 25% commission on any Beachbody product we recommend and someone purchases from our coach websites. We also earn bonuses for the effort of our teams as we grow our business. As you move up in rank in the network, there are a number of other ways to make money.
Do I have to be an expert or a certified fitness professional? No, you don’t have to be an expert or certified. You don’t have to be a registered dietitian, fitness expert, personal coach, or anything of the sort. The only requirement is to be willing to reach out and help people live a better lifestyle through Beachbody workout programs, supplements and nutrition. You can also lead them into the business opportunity if they are interested in getting paid to help others.
So, what do I have to do to become a Beachbody Coach? First, you need to find a group of active coaches in the network so you get on a good team. You also want to make sure you join up with a success partner who will be supportive, available, and able to help you get the training necessary to build your business to the level you want to achieve. The team I am fortunate enough to be on is called Team Genesis, a very successful team with several leaders who have already achieved great wealth and who reach out to train everyone in their down line on how to be successful and achieve any level in the business you are willing to work for. Team Genesis is one of the largest and most successful teams in the organization and continues to grow rapidly. Our team provides a balance of corporate training as well as team training from the most successful and experienced coaches in the company. By following the simple steps taught by our leaders, you can achieve any level of success you are willing to work for. Remember, this is a real business where you will only get out of it what you put into it.
Before you sign up with our team, we need to have a phone interview to see if you are a good fit with the team. If you are interested, and would like to schedule a call, contact me at jimwyatt556@gmail.com.
To your health and fitness,
Jim

My Health and Fitness Journey and My Why
In Jan 2009, I made a life decision to improve my health and fitness because my health had declined since retiring from the military and I was on the verge of becoming a type 2 diabetic. I was warned by my family doctor that I had to exercise and eat better or be put on diabetes medication. This was a turning point for me.
I decided to order a in-home workout program called P90X, but during my research and subsequent failure of the “fit test” I decided to start with the Power 90 (P90) boot camp workout. I set a goal in Jan 2009 to lose 30 pounds. Fortunately, I was able to lose 41 pounds from Jan – Oct 2009 using 3 Beachbody programs including Power 90, Power 90 Master Series, and finally P90X. I was able to keep that weight off since Oct 09 until just recently when I let my priorities go haywire. I fell off my program of exercise and nutrition and have declined in my health and gained back 8 pounds of body fat! Yikes!
During this time, I decided to become a Beachbody Coach. My reason at the time was to be able to get the 25% discount on the products offered by the company. I had no real interest in building the business; I just wanted to save money. However, I told my brother about signing up as a coach and he was excited and said he had thought about becoming a coach also, so he decided to let me sponsor him as a member of my team. Once he signed up, I signed my wife up and became what we call an Emerald Coach in the business plan.
Becoming an Emerald coach is the first step to being successful in the Coaching business. The reason is because Beachbody has a unique marketing business model where they give Coaches paying customers once you qualify as an Emerald coach. That is, the company gives you new paying customers every week. Whenever these customers purchase anything in the future from the company, you get a commission. It’s just that simple. I have about 385 customers at this time. The commissions I get from these customers have allowed me to pay off both of my 2010 vehicles, one in 10 months and the other in 14 months. Both vehicles were financed with no money down from the dealers. We have also paid for several vacations in the past 2 years that cost us very little. As an example, my wife and I went on a SCUBA diving trip in the Bahamas in May 2011 and only had to pay for the diving. Everything else was paid with profits we made from our Beachbody business. Even better, two of the trips we have taken are almost totally tax deductable so my total tax liability is greatly reduced. That’s a secret the wealthy have been hiding from the rest of us!
Don’t get me wrong, I have built my business up to what is called a Diamond level business. I get additional bonuses from what the coaches on my team produce. I average anywhere from $400 to $1200 dollars per month doing my business part-time. Not bad for a $39.95 initial investment. That may not seem like much, but it really comes in handy and gives me the freedom to buy things I want, when I want them. I don’t really need much, but it’s good to know I have the extra money if I need it. I do, however, work my business and treat it like a business, not a hobby. Too many people start a Beachbody coaching business and wait around for something to happen. The problem with that strategy is that when you are President and CEO of your own business, if you do nothing, you make nothing. It’s the same as if you invested $500 thousand dollars into a franchise and never showed up for the training or work. You will quickly be out of business and a half-million poorer if you don’t take action. You get out of your Beachbody Coaching business exactly what you put into it.
Fortunately, I’m in an established career and make a fair sum of money, so money doesn’t need to be my primary focus for my business. I want to help others be successful and help them lose weight and get fit and healthy. If they want to make some extra money, I can help them do that also. One of the main reasons I joined the military was to serve others. Being a Beachbody Coach is a natural extension of that desire to serve. I am also competitive by nature and want to achieve what others have done in the business. However, lately I have found myself trying to “sell” our products and the business opportunity. In my effort to achieve “success” in the business, I have lost track of what is really important to me.
My own health and fitness MUST come first. Then second, I want to help others lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle. Then, if they want to find out about the business opportunity and learn how to make some extra money, great. If not, that is great too. Not everyone can understand how, or is willing to do the work necessary to build personal wealth. The Coaching opportunity might not be what they want to do. Fortunately, there is still unlimited opportunity in our society for industrious people to make extra money.
I will say one thing though, whatever you do, make sure you are working for yourself instead of someone else. Working for others even part time is building their wealth on the back of your labor. Jim Rohn said it is better to work harder on yourself than you do on your job. This is the way to build a solid financial future, by working for you. But it will take commitment and effort on your part, or nothing will happen. If you’re not willing to work as hard for yourself as you do on your job, then you will probably waste your time and money. Nothing worth having will come without effort. So, whatever you decide to do, make sure you are willing to commit to it and stick with it for the long term. Facebook or Microsoft opportunities only come around rarely. I wouldn’t expect that kind of fortune to fall in your lap, though it is possible.
I am making a new commitment to myself starting today. I will recommit myself to improving my health and overall fitness by following a program I already know will work for me. I will start a new round of P90 and redo each program I completed in the past over the next 12 months. I will learn all I can about proper nutrition and be more disciplined about what I eat on a daily basis. I will enter the Beachbody $100,000 Challenge and work to transform my body and have a chance to win all the cash! I will log my workouts in the WOWY Super Gym for a chance to win $500 each day I workout.
And finally, I will help anyone who wants to improve their health and fitness. If you are interested in joining me on my journey, maybe we can go on it together. Just send me a message and we can start whenever you are ready. Let’s get started.
To your health and fitness,

Embracing Change
I am sitting at my desk, 30 minutes before I am scheduled to start work. At 4 a.m. my alarm clock kicked off and by 430 a.m. I was pushing play and completing my Day 9 workout of P90X. Today was Plyometrics X. It is arguably the toughest workout in the program and is very taxing on my legs, knees and feet. It is, however, an awsome workout and I was able to burn 831 calories and maintain my heart rate between 141 and 169 beats per minute. Not bad for a 52 year old dude who's had two heart attacks and carries a stent in his chest from past poor lifestyle habits. Prior to the Beachbody lifestyle, my life was a perfect example of what NOT to do if you want to live a healthy and fulfilling life.
The biggest challenge I'm facing now is getting used to the 4 a.m. wakeup. For those of you who know me, I have been doing Beachbody workout programs since Jan 2009, lost 41 pounds and have kept it off for over 2 years now. Until this round, I have always done my workouts at 6 p.m. after getting home from a long day of work and a tough commute. For over 25 years, I have gotten out of bed on weekdays at 5 a.m. That one hour change has been more difficult than I expected but this morning, I was ready to go and felt pretty good about it.
I have never been a morning person but it feels good to get the workout out of the way first thing. It makes the rest of the day more relaxed and I know once I get home from work, I am finished for the day and can relax and enjoy time with my wonderful wife. Hopefully, I will adjust to the morning workout routines and will be OK with it. Right now, I feel pretty good even though I am a little tired from the program.
I know so many people who are doing Beachbody workouts. All of them are getting positive results based on their goals and the different objectives of the individual programs available. Some go on to get superior physiques in a short time. Others take longer due to the difference in age, body type, past health issues, metabolism, etc. The one consistent thing is that you can be healthier and more fit than you have ever been if you just get one of the many programs that will suit you and just start pushing play every day. It will literally change your life as it has mine and millions of other people in the US and around the globe.
There is no magic pill or gizmo that will suddenly make you fit and healthy. The truth is that if you want to lose weight and feel better, sleep better, have more energy, and just have a better lifestyle, you have to work for it. Beachbody programs are designed to work if you follow the program as it is laid out. There are programs for every level of fitness and age group from children to seniors, you can find a program that will work for you. These programs are time tested and proven to work, or Beachbody will give you your money back. I don't know any way to make it simpler for you. The mission of Beachbody is to help people live more healthy and fulfilling lives. The company also wants to end the trend of obesity in the US and is recruiting 1 million coaches to make this happen.
We all know the federal government cannot legislate good health. "We the People" are going to have to do it ourselved. It will require a pretty significant paradyme shift in the mentality of the citizens if it will be successful. The cards are stacked against us with big food, health, and pharmarcy conglamorates veying for every dollar they can extract from you by promoting unhealthy food, need for medications, and new drugs being created by the hour to keep the money machine flowing to their pockets.
It is up to YOU to change your lifestyle. As a Team Beachbody Coach, I can help you. I do it for free because I believe in the mission and goal of the company. I know that together, we can change our nation and get our health back. Wanna help? We can use you. Join my team today and start making a change in your local community as a leader in our fight to reverse and end the trend of obesity.

Why I chose Network Marketing to build Financial Security
I have spent most of my life in either the military or my present profession as a Facilities Manager. Although I have always made enough money to support my family and a good lifestyle, I have always worked part-time to make extra money to pay down debt or take that dream vacation, or buy some luxury I normally wouldn't be able to afford.
I also lived a conservative lifestyle and mostly below my means so I have been lucky and have extra spending capital to use as I please. This comes in handy when someone in your family has a need for money quickly and there is no one else to turn to. It is very rewarding to be able to support your loved ones when needed. My wife and I have always been able to give out of abundance and not worry about when the money would be paid back, if at all.
I have done all sorts of part time work, from working at a gas station, to plumbing, to carpentry. I never worked at a fast food resturaunt for some reason. Not that I wouldn't, but I always found someting else to do. I guess that work ethic has stayed with me from the beginning. I don't think I just wanted more money, I just wanted to have money to spend when I wanted it.
My mother raised six children alone after my father was killed in a car accident so there was never any extra money available unless we worked for it. I never felt a sense of lack in my life. We had the richness of love in our family and I know love will take you a long way unless you needed something material like a new pair of shoes or clothes. Then you had to go out and find some sort of enterprise you could do to make some cash to buy what you needed. I learned very early on that I had to rely on myself if I wanted to improve my lifestyle.
I know money doesn't buy happiness but over time, I also learned that money is a really good down payment to happiness because it takes away financial stress, incidentally one of the major causes of divorce in the US. Financial stress in the home magnifies other issues resulting in the breakdown of commmunication between the family unit. Once communicaton breaks down, the slope is pretty steep from that point. The negative words start to build up and soon, there is nothing left. Love is killed and the relationship dies. I have seen it hundreds of times. That doesn't mean people of great wealth don't have problems, they do. However, most of them are not related to financial issues unless they are irresponsible and living well above their means. It happens to us all if we are not vigilent. That's my take on it anyway.
Sorry for the digression.
So, as I have gotten older, I got tired of the physical labor at a relatively low return for the extra spending money. I was also knocked down by two heart attacks in 1999 and 2001, which caused me to slow down a lot and the recovery from those experiences have taken 12 years. But my desire to make "extra" income has stayed with me, I just had to find a different way to do it.
On Jan 2009 I started working on my health and fitness and as you know, I have been able to change my life dramatically using Beachbody in-home workout programs and following the nutrition guides they provide as well as drinking Shakeology, my favorite. My health has greatly improved and as I was going through my physical transformation (still on that journey by the way) I stumbled across their business opportunity as a Team Beachbody Coach.
When I started using the workout programs, I wanted to do P90X, which I had seen on the TV infomercials many times. But once I took the "Fit Test" I failed it and the company recommended I not purchase that program. So I looked at their "foundation" programs and started with the Power 90 Boot Camp DVDs. That turned out to be a good decision for me personally because I was really out of shape. Once I finished with P90, I moved to the P90 Master Series DVDs to continue to improve my health and fitness. At this time, I started using their Core Nutrition Pack, which was cheaper than the vitamins I was using from GNC, plus I got the Omega 3s and the Calcium for less than the GNC vitamins I was using. Taking it one step further, if I signed up as a coach, I would get my supplements and any other future product at wholesale prices and would be buying from myself instead of some other company. To me this was a "no brainer" since I had already made up my mind to continue the lifestyle anyway.
So, I made a decision to become a Beachbody distributor without being recruited by anyone. This could have been a disaster if you understand the Network Marketing business model. Fortunately, I was assigned to a team of active coaches and have great leaders who reach out and help you build your business. I never thought anything about doing the business to make money, but before I knew it, Beachbody was sending me commission checks every week and it has steadily grown over the past year and a half to a pretty good part-time income. Once I started seeing regular checks coming every Thursday, I decided to take the business a little more seriously.
I decided to at least try to build a "Diamond" business using the Beachbody "Game Plan" that is available to all coaches in the company. It is a step-by-step process for building a business from scratch. It is simple and easy to learn. The hard part is that you have to consistently do the actions the plan spells out for you if you want to make any money. On top of the corporate training, my team leaders are all successful business owners and teach coaches in their network how to do even better with weekly training and web training offered at your convenience. It is just up to me to do the work if I want to make more money. The bottom line is that the company has created millionaires in only 3 years using our business model.
Not all of them are founding members either. Many of them became coaches in the past year or two and have passed the founding members in income and organization size. This is one of the best things about the business model, you can pass your sponsor whenever you want to if you are willing to work harder for yourself than you do on your regular job. I have passed my sponsoring coach and built my Diamond business while she is still working on hers. Not a problem because the more successful I am, the more successful she will be because she bonuses on my effort as I do on the effort of my team. Everyone benefits by the success of the others on the team so it is the most progressive method to make a living than in any business model in existence. Everyone profits from the effort of each other. No one is better than anyone else. The individual can progress as fast or as slow as they want. Your personal results are directly related to your effort.
Think about this. In my present Facility Management career, I am pretty much at the top of my earning potential. Someone literally has to retire or die for me to make more money and then it is very cmpetitive to get the position. By starting my Beachbody business, I was able to give myself a raise of about $12K per year in just over 8 months of effort. Even if I got the promotion in my career, the pay raise would only be about 5 or 6 thousand a year! Plus more responsibility, stress, longer hours, etc. So working for myself has been a better decision for me personally and financially.
I can give myself a pay raise anytime I want. Nobody can fire me. I set my own hours. I can take off and go scuba diving in the Bahamas in May and I will still get paid on the Thursday I am down there! That is a great feeling because I am getting paid that day for the work I have done in the past that keeps repeating and growing over time. You can't find that in the traditional private sector work environment. This is why profit is better than wages!
Your wage, the money you get paid to work like a slave every day, pays your bills. When you make a profit, you are building wealth and finacial security and freedom. You have to work for both of them but profit will always win out over wages because you have all the control over your profit. You can work like a dog all day, every day at your job and never make one penny more. Increasing your profit in your business is directly related to how hard you are willing to work for yourself. You should always work harder for yourself than for someone else. Then you are making a better life for yourself and your family, not the president or owner of the company you work for now.
The bottom line is that network marketing is one of the best, if not THE best ways to build fiancial security for you and your family. There are opportunities in network marketing everywhere! I chose Beachbody as my tool to build my wealth because I know the programs work and I like to help other people realize their full potential. There are hundreds of network marketing companies out there. You should be able to find something you like to do and build your own business. It is the best way to go!

I also lived a conservative lifestyle and mostly below my means so I have been lucky and have extra spending capital to use as I please. This comes in handy when someone in your family has a need for money quickly and there is no one else to turn to. It is very rewarding to be able to support your loved ones when needed. My wife and I have always been able to give out of abundance and not worry about when the money would be paid back, if at all.
I have done all sorts of part time work, from working at a gas station, to plumbing, to carpentry. I never worked at a fast food resturaunt for some reason. Not that I wouldn't, but I always found someting else to do. I guess that work ethic has stayed with me from the beginning. I don't think I just wanted more money, I just wanted to have money to spend when I wanted it.
My mother raised six children alone after my father was killed in a car accident so there was never any extra money available unless we worked for it. I never felt a sense of lack in my life. We had the richness of love in our family and I know love will take you a long way unless you needed something material like a new pair of shoes or clothes. Then you had to go out and find some sort of enterprise you could do to make some cash to buy what you needed. I learned very early on that I had to rely on myself if I wanted to improve my lifestyle.
I know money doesn't buy happiness but over time, I also learned that money is a really good down payment to happiness because it takes away financial stress, incidentally one of the major causes of divorce in the US. Financial stress in the home magnifies other issues resulting in the breakdown of commmunication between the family unit. Once communicaton breaks down, the slope is pretty steep from that point. The negative words start to build up and soon, there is nothing left. Love is killed and the relationship dies. I have seen it hundreds of times. That doesn't mean people of great wealth don't have problems, they do. However, most of them are not related to financial issues unless they are irresponsible and living well above their means. It happens to us all if we are not vigilent. That's my take on it anyway.
Sorry for the digression.
So, as I have gotten older, I got tired of the physical labor at a relatively low return for the extra spending money. I was also knocked down by two heart attacks in 1999 and 2001, which caused me to slow down a lot and the recovery from those experiences have taken 12 years. But my desire to make "extra" income has stayed with me, I just had to find a different way to do it.
On Jan 2009 I started working on my health and fitness and as you know, I have been able to change my life dramatically using Beachbody in-home workout programs and following the nutrition guides they provide as well as drinking Shakeology, my favorite. My health has greatly improved and as I was going through my physical transformation (still on that journey by the way) I stumbled across their business opportunity as a Team Beachbody Coach.
When I started using the workout programs, I wanted to do P90X, which I had seen on the TV infomercials many times. But once I took the "Fit Test" I failed it and the company recommended I not purchase that program. So I looked at their "foundation" programs and started with the Power 90 Boot Camp DVDs. That turned out to be a good decision for me personally because I was really out of shape. Once I finished with P90, I moved to the P90 Master Series DVDs to continue to improve my health and fitness. At this time, I started using their Core Nutrition Pack, which was cheaper than the vitamins I was using from GNC, plus I got the Omega 3s and the Calcium for less than the GNC vitamins I was using. Taking it one step further, if I signed up as a coach, I would get my supplements and any other future product at wholesale prices and would be buying from myself instead of some other company. To me this was a "no brainer" since I had already made up my mind to continue the lifestyle anyway.
So, I made a decision to become a Beachbody distributor without being recruited by anyone. This could have been a disaster if you understand the Network Marketing business model. Fortunately, I was assigned to a team of active coaches and have great leaders who reach out and help you build your business. I never thought anything about doing the business to make money, but before I knew it, Beachbody was sending me commission checks every week and it has steadily grown over the past year and a half to a pretty good part-time income. Once I started seeing regular checks coming every Thursday, I decided to take the business a little more seriously.
I decided to at least try to build a "Diamond" business using the Beachbody "Game Plan" that is available to all coaches in the company. It is a step-by-step process for building a business from scratch. It is simple and easy to learn. The hard part is that you have to consistently do the actions the plan spells out for you if you want to make any money. On top of the corporate training, my team leaders are all successful business owners and teach coaches in their network how to do even better with weekly training and web training offered at your convenience. It is just up to me to do the work if I want to make more money. The bottom line is that the company has created millionaires in only 3 years using our business model.
Not all of them are founding members either. Many of them became coaches in the past year or two and have passed the founding members in income and organization size. This is one of the best things about the business model, you can pass your sponsor whenever you want to if you are willing to work harder for yourself than you do on your regular job. I have passed my sponsoring coach and built my Diamond business while she is still working on hers. Not a problem because the more successful I am, the more successful she will be because she bonuses on my effort as I do on the effort of my team. Everyone benefits by the success of the others on the team so it is the most progressive method to make a living than in any business model in existence. Everyone profits from the effort of each other. No one is better than anyone else. The individual can progress as fast or as slow as they want.
