Expectations Exceeded

Perhaps the obvious reasons for becoming a Beachbody coach... 1. Financial gain - yep, you are going to make money. 2. Helping others with their health & fitness goals (fantastic, but obvious...you know that is what we do!). Here are some aspects of Beachbody coaching, though, that I had never expected and that I am so thankful for. 1. Ultimate accountability - not only do you have your customers, friends, family, challenge groups, and all of the people out there that just happen to read or listen to what you are sharing, but you also have a team of Beachbody coaches that you are working with.   It would be so much easier to give up if it was >>me and only me<< working on my health and fitness goals!  I'm in it and I won't give up now, no way!   2. Personal development - I really can't even put into words how this has changed my life.  Personal development is learning and working on me.  I commit to one hour of personal development per day.

The conclusion that I've come to is that it isn't necessarily that I think the world doesn't stop talking, but it is that I am content in observing.  I am happy to process in my own mind before I speak, and then, finally, I am happy to write it all out.  I have always hated being called shy or quiet.  Mostly
