As I have been working on building my Beachbody business I
realize that I have been forced to really look within myself more than ever
before. In order to achieve success in MLM businesses you have to work on your
personal development. As a psych minor I felt like I had a pretty clear
understanding of myself and a decent read on others. I wasn’t wrong, but there’s
so much more to it. Before I can grow my business, I need to grow me. I need to
know my “why”, I need to know what drives me. I need to reflect back and see
what the choices I have made are and how they have impacted my life and others.
Some are good, some are bad.
What makes me happy: This is easy, My children, my husband,
my extended family, my friends, my dog, helping people, working out, the beach.
The list could go on forever.
What makes me sad: Not having enough time with my children,
my husband, my extended family, my friends. Worrying about money, not having a
good workout, being stressed at work, not growing at my job, having a bad-eating
day so I feel crappy.
As I look at my list, it does define my “why”.
When I started coaching I simply wanted to pay for my
shakes. Then thought, hey, money is tight. Let me see if I can make enough to
pay for a vacation. I did it! I am so happy about this. But now what?
Another coach told me that there would come a point that I
will need to make a choice. To grow my beachbody business, it needs more than
the little time I give it now. Between my full time job that requires some
travel, my kids schedules, my husbands rotating work schedule..I am already
spread to thin. So now what, where to go from here?
My personality does not do well in grey area. I need black
or white. This line of grey as to what’s next is not only scary for me, it
makes me lose sleep! But as all learning processes go..I need to deal with it.
So I am paving my own road. I have defined it now so it’s
not quite so grey.
I want to build my team with people who are also unclear of
the future but know they want something more! I want hardworking fighters that
are willing to put in some extra time now so we can do less later and enjoy
those faces we don’t get to see enough of now. I want people that are inspired
by helping people but care enough about them selves to know they need to take
care of themselves first. I know I can’t
give this business my full day. It’s simply not feasible until I am financially
sound. But I can give it 100% of 30 min a day, some days may be only 15
minutes, another day it may be an hour. But during those times…I will give it
100%. Could you? If you think so, let me know…I want you! And I will help you
grow your business. I will give you all the tools you need and show you a path.
Because at the end of the day. I am clear on this. I love my beachbody business.
I love my team and I know I can build a dream off this business of helping
others.
