Priorities, Goals, and To Do Lists

Okay...here's the deal! In January I am joining a challenge being led by Chalene Johnson, my mentor, to focus on setting goals and making to do lists. Here is a little bit more info on the challenge:
 
The first week ...of January I will send to anyone who takes the challenge the rules and the tools!
 
First, I will create a quick video explaining how we will use several free resources to keep us on track (like to-do list apps, and a few forms that i use and will give you access to download). I will share with you my exact to-do list, the form I use to keep it and the super quick system that I personally follow to stay organized.
 
I will also give you the forms I use to develop my priorities and goals at the beginning of each new year!
 
This is an accountability group! No strings attached... Well.. just one! You will be asked to make a daily to-do list for 21 days and log in to "prove" that you made yours! But don't worry...I'm going to show you how to make one and master it in under 10 minutes a day.
 
Look...I've been preaching about this stuff for 15 years. I realize from your comments and feedback that people know they need to be more organized they just don't know where to start or how to keep themselves accountable.
 
I'll explain in detail how I organize and balance my responsibilities between work and family and share with your the system I use to create and then obtain my top 10 goals for the year.
 
I'll send a facebook email as soon as I have all the "rules" for our 30Day Challenge put together (just came up with this today)! (BE ON THE LOOK-OUT!)
 
Studies show that when you involve a loved one or friend in your efforts to keep yourself accountable, you have greater success. It's true! So pass this on to your significant other, your co-workers, your team or the people who you know will actually kick your butt and help keep you on track!
 
NO matter what your goals are, financial, spiritual, family, business or fitness...when you use a system of accountability your only option is success!
 
Talk to you soon!
 
Pass it on!

Chalene

What coaching is really about...

I've been hearing from frustrations from many coaches lately about the difficulties of signing new coaches, even with the free coach sign-up. I figured my blog would be a great place to address them. I of all people know how hard it is to sign new coaches. The business goes in spurts for me. There are some points in time where I'll be signing two coaches a week, and then I can go a few weeks without signing any coaches at all. This month is a tough time to sign coaches because everyone is just so busy in December. I have a few tips on how I go about it, and I hope it helps!!!

1. If you're talking to someone and they just don't seem interested in coaching move one. Larry Zimberg says, "Instead of talking to the same 20 people five times, talk to 100 new people." Some people just aren't ready to be a coach, and that's just fine. Work with the willing.
2. If you have talked to all your friends and family already that's okay, meet new people and make new friends. I do talk to my friends and family, but I also really really concentrate on meeting new people with the same interests as me online...Facebook, Twitter, MySpace...they all work. Don't just pitch them the business...get to know them on a personal level.
3. Be a product of the product. Maybe you don't think you've lost enough weight yet to sign new coaches. If you feel that way, other people will sense that and feel it too. If you started this business to be accountable to your own weight loss, tell people that! Tell them, "I'm really doing this business to work on myself. Why don't you join me?" Maybe you don't pitch them the coaching "opportunity"...pitch it as a way to get a great discount on products that will really help them get fit and healthy. Talk them into being your accountability partner.
4. If someone doesn't want to join you team, don't take it personal. I get many "no's," and I know that they're saying "no" to the business, not me. If they're not interested, I don't really care. Then I need to find someone new to replace them on my list.
5. If they seemed interested at one point, and then decided they weren't interested keep them as a friend on Facebook. As you succeed (in your business or your own weight loss), they will come back and talk to you. People want to be involved with people that are successful.
6. The most important thing is to stay positive!!! If you are posting negative things on facebook or replying to other people's posts in a negative manner, people will see it. Would you want to join someone's team if they are always putting themselves or others down. Let's stay positive, and concentrate on changing people's lives instead of concentrating on signing coaches and making money. I haven't signed a new coach in almost two weeks, but I know that I am having an impact on my current coaches, customers, and friends. By running fitness challenges and giving people positive fitness advice, you are truly making a difference.

I hope this has been helpful to my frustrated coaches, or my friends that are considering doing this business. It is true that this business has ups and downs, but if you can stick with it you will find success. I have failed at a dozen Network Marketing opportunities in the past...Team Beachbody is the only one I've been successful at. It is challenging and takes a lot of work, but the rewards are what keeps me doing it. I love helping people be successful in their business, as well as their fitness. Helping people is why I do this business, and I'm hoping that by this summer I will be working in fitness full-time. There is no bigger high for me than hearing how the people in my fitness challenge are loosing weight, exercising, and eating clean. I love what I'm doing, and I just want people to realize how amazing this business is...even with all he frustrations and challenges.

If you are willing to help other people get fit and healthy...join my team! There are 16 more days of free coach sign-up, so you need to take action soon! Do you just want to be a coach for the 25% off discount and the fitness aspect of it? If that's what you want make sure you sign-up and order your new fitness program by December 21st so you get started on your fitness January 1st.

I am still giving that free bag of Chocolate Shakeology away to someone who signs up on my team before the end of the year. Also, don't forget about this week's Virtual Home Parties! Tonight (Thursday) at 8pm CST and Sunday at 7pm CST. Be sure that you register at http://my.dimdim.com/eringettingfit. If you have any questions about Beachbody, fitness, nutrition, etc...you know the drill!

It's been a long time!

It's been a really long time since I last blogged. I know I have talked a lot on my facebook page about being in a "funk" lately, but I think I'm finally out of it. I had some good things happen in my life these past few days that have helped to pull me out of my "low," as some people would call it. Especially for someone who suffers from depression. I do have a pretty big decision to make in the next week, but after having the support I needed from a few special friends I feel much better.

I might as well say it...a huge career change just might be in the horizon. Tomorrow I have a meeting/interview at the Elkhorn Curves for Women. There is talk of starting Curves Circuit with Zumba Fitness in January. There is also another nearby Curves club that is interested in starting around the same time. This is a huge opportunity for me...since I do want to eventually work full-time in fitness. Luckily I'm already a certified Zumba instructor, so it would be an easy transition.

Since becoming a Beachbody coach almost six months ago, I set an ultimate goal of "firing" my boss and doing fitness and Beachbody full-time. If I could reach this goal by next month, I would be eternally grateful. I know what everyone's thinking...what about your social work job? Well...I don't have any answers right now and I probably won't have many more answers tomorrow night after my meeting. I am just hoping that after my meeting tomorrow things will be clearer, and I will know what to do. I know that I can count on my family, friends, and Beachbody family to make this decision.

I am just so happy that all my dreams are coming true, and I'm providing for my son. If buying a house has to get postponed another year so I can pursue my dreams that will be okay by me. Shouldn't I be striving to reach those goals instead of being "okay" with being mediocre? Hmm...some things to think about......

Shakeology: From the Fields

Getting..."personal"

I'm typically a very private person, and don't often share a lot about myself personally. I decided that I need to connect more with my "friends" on Facebook, and try to show how very "real" I am. Well...time for a little personal disclosure!!! :)

I am a 30-year-old single mother of one little boy, my 4-year-old son Jake. He is my world, and everything I have accomplished in my life has been (mostly) for him. I am as single as they get, and plan on keeping it that way for awhile. I do have my Bachelor's and  Master's in Social Work, and currently work for the State of Wisconsin doing Initial Assessments for child protection. It is a very stressful job, but I use fitness and Beachbody as my stress-relief!

I have some past issues with anxiety and depression, but my exercise regime keeps me positive, focused, and off medication. I have many aspirations for my life that include personal training, teaching fitness classes, and being a foster parent to children that have been abused and neglected. I love my job in child protection, but I don't plan on doing it forever. I hope to be able to quit my full-time job and do fitness full-time in the next few years.

I also hope to soon own my own home that has room for my horses. I have ridden horses for the past 23 years, owned horses for the past 20 years, and have trained Arabians in Arizona for a whole year. My love for animals and children is my livelihood, and I plan on surrounding myself with both for the rest of my life.

A lot of who I am is my Beachbody business. To me, the business is not about making money! It's about helping people get physically fit, inspiring people to make healthy choices, and helping my team to be successful at the business. I make pretty good money doing it, but I also invest a lot of time and money helping others to be successful doing this business. If I can be successful, ANYONE can! I honestly do care about my coaches, my customers, and my friends...I am a "helper" by nature which is what makes every aspect of my everyday life enjoyable and fulfilling!!!

New Diamond Coach!

Do you want to win a FREE bag of Chocolate Shakeology?

I have now been a Diamond coach for two days...a goal I set for myself since I signed up to be a coach. I became a Diamond coach in five months, and I want to help the people I care about to reach Diamond within five months too! I am going to personally help you to build your team using team calls and virtual home parties. I also wanted to remind you that the free coach sign-up only goes until December 31st, and you should really sign up now so you can get some of the people you care about the same deal!

3-Day Shakeology Cleanse

SHAKEOLOGY 3-DAY CLEANSE:

Shakeology is a meal replacement shake designed to be enjoyed every day, one meal a day. But for this cleanse, it will be used three times a day for three days.

Here's a quick clip about Shakeology: Click Here And see what doctors are saying about this! ~ 

http://beachbodycoach.com/esuite/home/eringettingfit?bctid=637719395001

The Shakeology Cleanse is meant to jump start you in your fitness, break a plateau or shred pounds fast & effectively in a healthy way. The key is caloric efficiency; getting the most nutrients possible out of the fewest number of calories. It’s too fat restrictive for a lifestyle plan, but perfect for a three day jump-start to looking and feeling better.

This can help you become healthier from the inside out. Internal health is the foundation to external beauty.

People are getting fantastic results ~ Lose weight, feel great!I personally just lost 8 pounds and 9 inches in just 3 days!

IMPORTANT: This is to jump-start your health and weight loss goals... so PLEASE DO NOT PIG OUT after you do this! Transition from here into a healthy eating plan to continue your success. After this cleanse, it's recommended to continue replacing one meal a day with Shakeology.

The basics are as follows:

3 SHAKEOLOGY Shakes a day (blended with water and ice) 1 piece of fruit a day (Apple, pear, orange, banana, mango, etc) 1 salad for dinner (lettuce, veggies, lean protein) - 4 oz lean protein in salad (WHITE poultry or fish) - Only Low Fat Dressings.

NO: Dairy (no almond, soy, or rice milk) or extra sugars. If it’s not on the list, don’t eat it!

Sample Menu (Repeat all three days):

BREAKFAST: Shakeology - 1 scoop, blended with ice & 8-10 oz of water Optional: ½ cup of fruit (only for the super conditioned – not the weight challenged)

SNACK: 1 piece of fruit

LUNCH: Shakeology - 1 scoop, blended with ice & 8-10 oz of water

SNACK: Shakeology - 1 scoop, blended with ice & 8-10 oz of water (This snack can be before or after dinner)

DINNER: Salad - Lettuce/veggies - 4 oz lean protein (WHITE fish or poultry) - Light Dressing

________________________________________________

Contact me if you have any questions and/or if you want to get started! I sell the nine packets (chocolate flavor) for the cleanse for only $25!!! This is a savings of $11!
