So.. Why did I get into Network Marketing and Beachbody?

As many of you have noticed if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter. I tend to post links and information quite often in regards to a company called Beachbody, P90X, or whatever workout I'm doing for that day. I'm sure there are some of you that think " Cripes here's another Spammer in the making'. And to be honest with you, I had the same opinion of others when I would see these sort of things pop up in the past.

But then I realized it's more important that someone knows the background behind the actions before making a judgement. I started getting involved in Beachbody as what they would call a "Coach" back in December of 2009. This was not an easy decision for me to make and took quite a while to take the plunge to be honest. But I had started using the Beachbody products ( aka P90X ) about a year before that after getting completely fed up with how I looked and felt everyday. And I will never stand here and tell you that was not the "best" decision I made for me at the time. Getting in shape with P90X that is.
And my experience in the beginning with aquiring my own "coach" was mixed from the start. Because what happens is if you order a workout program from say "a coach and their website", or you buy it from an infomercial you see on late night tv or the weekends. You are automatically assigned either the coach whose site you went on, or Beachbody assigns one if you order from the commecials. This does NOT happen if you order from say, Craigslist, Ebay, QVC.
And sometimes you may not quite care for the person that you are assigned to for a number of different reasons.
What a coaches job is, is to be your support mechanism while you are working your way through your newly aquired workout program. This includes answering general "program related questions", help with issues, or simply "being there to help motivate the person along the way. SO THAT'S WHAT REALLY TURNED ME ON TO DOING THIS.
Did I think I was going to get RICH doing this? Not really.. I will admit in the beginning I got stars in my eyes and tried to concentrate on the avenues of making money while being this "coach that I was" for Beachbody. But I found out in a short time that that's not the real way to approach this. And honestly,, Who is going to want to be associated with you if they see your only in it for the $$$$$? I wouldn't want to be. Because I know in the long run that persons going to simply look at me as a "$number$" and not a person. That's not my way or belief and never will be. Does that mean maybe it will hold me back from making the kind of money some others do at businesses like this? Perhaps.. But at least I can go to sleep at night with a clear mind knowing I'm in it for the right reasons, which is helping others.

Now I know half of you have stopped reading this by now. Because you've been pulled away to do your daily events. Or you have "short attention span like I have at times". That's ok I forgive you :). But if you are reading still, I will wrap this up. I wanted people to know why I decided to do this Network Marketing business last year. And why I stick with it, even if I'm not making a six figure income within a year. Am I making money for the company in the process. Sure I am. But it's not necessarily hurting me financially to do so. And aside from the fees I pay for the websites I'm provided. I get actual physical products and materials for what I pay for.

And yes if your wondering at this point. Have I made any money doing this? Yes I have made some money doing this. Could I make more over time? Yes I could do that as well. But I have chosen the road of honestly and integrity. Which for me can take a little longer to reach some goals but I do it the right way for me and anyone else I'm involved with. There may come a day when I decide that this venture has run it's coarse for me and I make the choice to move on. But for now I remain "interested" and intrigued by the company and their mission to spread good health. Some look at this as a "headhunter" business. It's not if your engaged in it the "right way". Its a business of fitness. So those that choose to be engaged in it have to live the lifestyle regularly. Or you better be a "damn good" photoshop master and hope noone ever catches you out eatin donuts at the local coffee shop. hahaha!

Ok enough said for now. If you made it this far, I blessed and very appreciative of your time. And now a moment for our sponsors www.beachbodycoach.com/jayburd73
