It's been over 4 years since I started my fitness journey, one that planted the seed for any of this to happen. One that I never even knew would blossom into the most amazing experience I'd ever live. No longer just a vision, but an actual reality that I get to live daily. I am so blessed to wake up every morning with a passion burning so bright inside of me that not only challenges me, but helps me grow and become a better person each day. To know that I am making a difference in at least one person's life and giving them the life they always dreamed of. One with happiness and confidence to be proud of who they are.
Yes, I get to do that every single day. But I want you to know...you could too.
During these 8 months of officially opening my doors to my online fitness business, I have had countless questions asked. Ones that I actually asked at one point also. To me, questions are good. Questions show interest, curiosity, but most of all they show that they want to know all the ins and outs of what they could possibly be committing themselves to.
I'm an oddball. I did things backwards...actually this explains my life completely. Never following the crowd, always doing my own thing, at my own time, in my own way...and yet still coming out alive. Thank you, God! I truly have to thank His guidance for all my crazy backwards choices I have made...but ones that have gotten me to where I am today!
I became a Beachbody Coach a little less than a year after starting my own fitness journey back in 2012. I became a Coach JUST for the discount on products since I had already fallen head over heals in love with the company. This company changed my life in ways I never even imagined...and they continue to do so every single day. Little did I know what I was getting myself into...
I had no idea what that "small" decision would ever turn into. After seeing that there was a chance at a business opportunity, one where I could BUILD my own business, BE my own boss, CREATE my own hours, and CREATE an income for my family that would help provide...I was SKEPTICAL.
Yep, I was! I am not a jump head first in the water type! My husband is, but not me! I am definitely an OCD planner, scheduled, Type A person...in other words CRAZY, but cautious. But you know what I learned about opportunities? Opportunities rarely come at the right time in the right way. And as the years passed, I could feel God's voice get stronger and stronger in my head. To go for it! What did I have to lose? I was already a coach, just not one with a business.
And here I am. I took that GIANT leap of Faith and 3 years later, I have a business that I have created from the ground up with God as my foundation.
So by now, I'm sure you're thinking...okay and what does becoming a Coach entail and how does this business opportunity work? Sit back and relax...maybe buckle up...just in case! Because you're about to go on an amazing ride!
These are the main 10 questions I often get asked:
1. How much is the investment?
Like every business, there is an investment, but this investment is so small compared to how much it actually costs most business owners.
Option 1: You can pay $40 to sign up as a Coach, which includes your first month's Business Service Fees and your Coach Business Kit, which comes with the necessary tools you need to begin.
Option 2: You can choose to purchase a challenge pack, where your signup fee is waived, you choose the program of YOUR choice, your 30-day supply of Shakeology, 30-day free trial of Beachbody on Demand, and your Coach Business Kit. I always suggest option 2 (that's how I started) because you get everything you need to start YOUR own personal journey that includes both fitness plus nutrition.
2. How much time does it take?
You can work your business for as little as you want or for as much as you want. How much time you put in, is how much you should expect to get in return. You can treat this as a hobby where you want to just work a few hours on it a week or you can treat it as a million dollar business, go all in and work full-time with it. I personally work full-time with it, because I have huge dreams and goals I have set and created for myself. I may have only paid $140 to start my business, but I treat it like a million dollar one. I put my heart and soul into this. I am so passionate about what I do and who I help. I have created lasting friendships through this. I'm an early riser, so I knock out 2 hours in the early morning, another hour in the early afternoon, and then another hour or 2 in the evening. I work about 4-5 hours a day. But I also have others on our team who work their business part-time, who only invest 1-2 hours a day because they also have a full-time job. You can make this business whatever you want it to be.
3. Will I see a return?
Of course! The biggest return you will get is within yourself. You will become happy, healthy, and feel like you're on top of the world. And in turn, you will share your own passion and journey with others...so they too can feel as amazing as you do. Earning an income will be an added bonus on top of the lives you will be changing and the happiness you will feel from making an impact in someone's life or even family. I have experienced this; however, money is NOT the driving force behind my business. It is God, my family, and helping others. Earning an income for my family is definitely a plus. I have big dreams and goals...one where I want to allow my husband to work less if he wanted to, so we could spend more time together alone and as a family. But it is not what motivates me and keeps me going. It's seeing the return in others and in my journey with myself.
4. I'm not a good "salesperson," do I need to be one?
Absolutely not! We share our story and journey with others. We share what we are most passionate about and what has helped us transform our lives. We do not force people into doing or buying things. We provide accountability. Anyone can get a workout dvd or a gym membership, but the missing component is the accountability. When you don't have anyone to hold you accountable, it's so easy to let life get in the way. We hold them accountable, encourage, and help them achieve their goals. Just like when we share what our favorite movie to see, restaurant to eat at, makeup, coffee, etc. We are sharing what we love and what has worked for us.
5. But what if I'm an introvert?
Great news! So am I and we are NOT the only ones! While I love talking and meeting new people, it can get overwhelming and even draining at times! I definitely need some alone time to reboot and recharge! But if you're NOT an introvert...that's also AWESOME! We are in the business of helping people and wanting to make a change/difference in their lives. Plus, I love that I can work my business from the comfort of my own home. I get to stay comfy and be in my own safe environment with my son, but still get to work with others.
6. How soon can I make money?
As I said previously, you get what you put in. My first month, I made around $400, which to me, was absolutely more than I ever expected. Being part of an amazing and supportive team is what I feel contributed to my success. Each Coach's journey is different as it is not a one size fits all. However, if making money is the main thing on your mind by becoming a Coach, then you are leading with the idea of money and not with your heart and integrity. People will see right through you. It's important to run your business genuinely, naturally, and authentically. Treat others as you'd like to be treated. Be compassionate, caring, and be genuinely interested in who you are wanting to help.
7. How much of a discount will I get on my own Beachbody products?
As a Beachbody Coach, you will receive a 25% discount on all Beachbody products available in the Team Beachbody store.
8. Do I need to be a Fitness Expert?
No, absolutely not! But if you are and have the credentials, that's great too! I, myself, am in no way an expert and definitely never portray myself as one. All you have to do is be ready to commit to changing your life, lead by example, and inspire others to do the same. Once you start transforming yourself internally, it will start showing externally as well.
9. Why are we called Coaches?
Because as a Coach, we are here to help others every step of the way. If you are only looking to become a Coach just for the discount, that is perfectly fine too...it doesn't mean you have to actively help coach others. We lead by example, we share our own trials, struggles, and triumphs...and show them that they are not alone. We support and encourage them through their own journey and celebrate every milestone they accomplish.
10. What kinds of help/support will I receive?
Once you become a coach with Team Living in Faith, you will be added to our closed Facebook team page, where you get to meet all of our other Coaches on the team. You will get the support you need from all of us. You will also get exclusive 1:1 and group training on how to run and build your business. I will also be there with you every step of the way. As I always tell my Coaches, if you want to run with this business, I will run with you...but if you want to walk with this business, I will walk with you. I am not only here for you as your mentor, but as your friend.
If you feel God is calling on you to do something BIGGER with your life...and you feel it might be Coaching, don't miss God's Purpose for your life. There's no such thing as a risk-free faith. Follow your dreams and don't retreat. Don't let your fear hold you back, because missed opportunities are what cause our greatest regrets. <3
If this sounds like something God is calling you to do or something you feel your own self telling you to take that BIG LEAP, shoot me an email at: beckypeterfitness@gmail.com or send me a friend request on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/trulybeckypeter.
