Life Priorities

I have been listening to Chalene Johnson's CarSmart for my personal development this week, and she talks a lot about life priorities. I have been thinking for the past few days about my top five life priorities, and I think I'm finally ready to write them down and share them with my closest "friends."

My Top Five Life Priorities

1. To be financially successful, and easily provide for my family.

2. To be at a point financially that I can stay home with my son.

3. Be a good mother for my son, providing everything he deserves.

4. Be physically fit and healthy, while motivating those closest to me to do the same.

5. Be available to my friends and family at a minutes notice.

What are your top five life priorities? You should seriously think about what your priorities are...it is a huge part of setting goals and accomplishing them. When I first thought about my priorities, I always thought that my son was my first priority. Then I listened to Chalene talk about priorities. She said, "Don't say your family is your priority when you are spending most of your time working or trying to build your business." I know that I was saying my son was my priority because if I didn't say that I was a bad mother...but, really I am being a good mother by putting my financial success first.

If I am financially successful and am able to stay home with him, I will eventually be putting him first. Isn't that what all single parents want? I have to put my financial success first so that I can provide, and stay home with him like I truly want to. Then I won't miss one soccer game, be able to take him to swimming lessons, be able to afford to take him to Disney World, buy a home that we can both enjoy. These are all things that I want, and can accomplish thanks to Beachbody. Before starting coaching for Beachbody, I never thought I would be financially free...but now I am seriously seeing it happening in the next two years. Don't you want financial freedom for yourself and your family like I do?

Success

I know that I've been scarce with my blogs, especially my video blogs...but I do have an excuse! I have been sick with a sinus infection since Friday...I have even taken that leap and am taking a sick day at work today. I have been laying in my bed, thinking about what success means to me. To me, I find success in being able to provide for my family. I don't feel that I am at that point yet. True...the Beachbody business is going great, ad I love my career in child protection, but I consistently want more! I have a non-typical living situation as I am living with parents and my 4-year-old son. As a single parent, I think I always want more for myself and my son. I want to be able to buy my first home, I want to go one week without having to put either groceries or gas on my credit card. It is true that I now have a fairly well paying job, but I was so in the hole when I began that I haven't been able to dig myself out yet.

I mostly wanted to talk about my ultimate goal in life, and share it with my friends. My ultimate goal is for Beachbody to help me obtain the ability to stay at home with my son. I want to be well-off financially, have the ability to purchase a home and new car, and pay off all of my debt. I want to be able to provide for my son what I had growing up. My Beachbody business is going well, and if it continues in this direction I should be able to quit my job November 2012...making more money in one year than I've made in my whole lifetime.

Beachbody is an amazing company that already has twelve millionaires, with the hope of having many more. CEO, Carl Daikeler, wants all of his coaches to succeed. This is why he has implemented free sign-up to any new coach that signs up between now and December 31st...but why wait? I want to have all of my new coaches trained and at the Emerald rank before the January rush starts. Wouldn't you much rather know how to run you business successfully and take advantage of the huge influx of customers we are going to get with the new year? I know a lot of people that don't want to start their new exercise regime until the new year, but why are you waiting? If you sign-up to be a coach today, you can take advantage of the 25% discount on Shakeology and workout programs. Why not buy a new workout program for your loved one for Christmas? Again...why are you waiting?

This business is changing lives. It has changed my life into a life that is so much better!!! I now have self-confidence, have no problem talking to strangers about what Beachbody has done for me. I love to share why I got into this business, and I just want to help others to loose weight and change lives. I am a social worker, so I feel that my calling in life is to help people. Why not help someone save their own life by loosing that weight that is killing them every single day. I love all of my coaches and customers, and honestly know them all individually. I have met so many great people, and am changing lives every day. Please contact me about how you can change not only your life, but the life of others. Don't wait until the end of the year...start now!!!

Beachbody Goals for 2010

My goals for this week are to sign one more coach, and help one of my coaches sign a coach. I also intend to connect with each of my coaches once this week, and I'm totally on track with that.

For the month of November I am going to sign a total of four of my own coaches, and get four of my coaches to Emerald...hence, making me Diamond! I'm also working on following up with my current coaches to get them all active. I am going to continue with the Game Plan and attempt to do one Team Call a month directly with my downline.

By the end of the year I am going to have 10 of my coaches to Emerald, have a total of 20 personally sponsored coaches, and be on my way to one-star diamond by Summit. I also plan on loosing 15 more pounds in the next two months, making me 10 pounds from my goal. I am going to stick with my P90X/ChaLEAN Extreme/TurboFire hybrid and work on my Turbo Kick certification so I can start teaching in January.

My long-term goal is to be able to quit my full-time job November 2012...two years from now!
