If you want to know how to feel REALLY vulnerable, try answering questions about INCOME publicly. It's SO hard to have a job on social media, share openly your life, AND try to share what a blessing its been without it been awkward! ;)
But I'm going to try...
In a few days, I leave for my second Coach Summit trip ever. NASHVILLE this time, after my first being in Vegas! For those who don't know my story, let me do a little refresher as I know many of you have just started following me recently.
I absolutely LOVE coaching, but I didn't begin as a coach. 2.5 years ago I was an elementary teacher. I had gone to school, received my undergrad in marketing then pursued teaching because I loved helping others understand things and loved nurturing others. I got my masters in teaching and started what I thought would be my career! After struggling to get pregnant we finally conceived and the anxieties I had around leaving my little while heading off to work, was enough for us to decide to make some sacrifices and allow me to be home with our baby girl.
Fast forward to 5 months post partum and the moment I started with Beachbody products. Getting results and in the best shape of my life, at home, was the start of a new career and definitely fate. I began coaching shortly after, even with all the nerves and self doubts. Thank goodness for that nudge that allowed me to just go for it. What started with "Well maybe I could make enough to pay for our groceries" has become so much more than that! I've never led with income in the forefront, I've always just led with my heart, knowing that if I've helped just one person change their life, I've done my job.
My parents have ALWAYS taught me good work ethic, and I think thats honestly been the biggest reason I've succeeded. Working HARD even before the rewards were visible. My dad has ALWAYS been a huge supporter of me and me working toward my dreams, but what was "comfortable" was just getting an education and getting a mediocre job and working your way up. There was no thoughts of building my own dreams early on. My dad grew up knowing HUGE struggles. His family always struggled and the one big lesson my grandmother always taught him, was to always work HARD. And he has. He's built a business from the ground up and I'm SO proud of him. I wanted that. I wanted to be able to do MY thing and leave something great for my little ones behind. To build a LARGE savings early on, to not stress about the little things, to be able to give freely to others, and to be able to have FUN and go SEE places! I think for a long time, it was almost like I felt guilty finally feeling that freedom and success. It takes a while to take it all in and really understand that its OK to be successful and enjoy those successes and celebrate them!
So I was absolutely nervous about sharing this post, the posts about growth always freak me out. Because I never want you to assume that this is why I began coaching! But it's helped our family in so many ways. We have gotten in our best shape. My relationship with my husband has strengthened. Westley sees the importance of being healthy at a young age. Why would I not share this with w everyone? So whether you want to help a few people, help yourself, pay a few bills or create a six figure income, that all begins with learning more!
I'll be opening up a no risk, no obligation little intimate group to share with you all about the coaching opportunity after I return from our big coaching summit! We will begin Monday, and be sharing:
✔️ how do we earn?
✔️ how I grew my business from home on part time hours?
✔️ is this right for you?
✔️ what do coaches do?
✔️ is it the real deal?
✔️ what if I'm not in the best shape yet?
And lots more! You ready to see if it's your thing? Message me or comment below!
