Coaching= Financial
Stability
Have you ever had a job you just absolutely HATED? How about one you LOVE? Or do you have a dream that you will have a certain amazing job? Before
Beachbody, I was working at a factory, doing mundane work that I dreaded facing
every single day. I hated my body and life and saw no future in the factory.
This left me wondering how I was ever going to gain financial stability to be
free to do what I want with my life. I yearn to travel the world, give my daughter opportunities to go to college or begin her own business or whatever she wants to succeed in, to have a home that is MINE! So many things that I want.
I was at a point in my life where I was caring baby weight I just couldn't get rid of that was made worse by depression and a dislike of myself. I tried working out and eating better but just couldn't find the motivation to get off of the couch or put down the junk food. When I became a Beachbody coach, I
only did it to be a discount coach. I simply wanted the discount on my shakeology. I didn't make any money as a coach. I kept pushing forward though because being a
coach was helping me become healthier, fit, happy, and confident. Coaching
helps keep me motivated and holds me accountable to my fitness journey. I
wanted to help others feel that way too! I then began pushing and working the
coaching business, doing what I needed to. First, I sold one challenge pack! I was so excited! This gave me more drive to keep
going! I had a few girls on my team and ran a couple challenge groups. That was around the time when I hit a slump in my life that I allowed to
interfere with my business and my fitness journey. I was lost for
a month and spiraling down in all areas of my life.
Luckily, I had many
supportive coach friends, including my own coach! They helped motivate me and
pulled me back out of that horrible month. My business felt that the month that I disappeared. It hit hard, and my girls gave up on their journeys. I don't blame them because I was supposed to help them and failed. Once I realized what I had done to myself and the girls that were counting on me, I used that to fail forward. First, I was working super hard to get back on track with my own
journey. I began working out, reading personal development, and doing challenge
groups again. The personal development really did the trick for me, showing me
new ways to approach life and love myself more. I then felt I was ready to help
others again. I haven't looked back since!

While going through this entire journey, I have realized that this is something
I want to do for the rest of my life! This will give me financial stability
while also allowing me to do something I LOVE! I LOVE helping others! Before
this, I was driving a gas sucking 1997 van. Coaching has given me that extra
bit of financial stability where I was able to get a new car! I now have a 2006
VW Passat, and it is way better on gas. I love my car! I am now also a stay at
home mom and able to put full focus on the job of a lifetime. I am wanting a little part time work just to get out of the house more, but it is nice to have that stability that coaching gives. Now I am working on saving toward having a dream house, having my school loans paid off, and going on vacations whenever I want! I want to be able to just pick up and go on a whim! I will get there one day! Wouldn't you want to?
Thank you for sharing your story. You are an inspiration to me! I have suffered with the same feelings before and some of them still today. Reading your story proves to me that I actually can make a difference if I try and don't give up.
ReplyDeleteYou have been a great coach to me. Not only are you a personal friend but also my motivation when I just don't feel like loving myself or trying to change the things I can.
I just wanted to say thank you. Christine you truly are a great person, friend, and coach. We all have our ups and downs at times but the most important thing is you got up and have come back even harder. You are a true inspiration by believing in and loving yourself and helping others to do the same. Thank you and keep up the good work!!
