Some of my reasons for being a Beachbody Coach

Today was a rest day for me from working out.  I had to get up early this morning and fly, then traveled home and got to see a fairly entertaining show a friend of ours was in.  Got home after 1:00 a.m. and am wrapping up some computer stuff before bed.

Every day I contemplate my goals as a Team Beachbody Coach, and what I believe I can achieve.   One of the biggest things I've always wanted in my life is complete financial freedom.  What that means to everyone is individually different, but to me it means not having to worry about how I'm going to pay my bills, but it also means I can walk into a store and if there is something I really need or want, I can buy it without hesitation or worry that it's going to strap me for cash.

When I first started flying as an airline pilot in 1992, my salary was $950 per month.  In my first 3 years I earned less than $12k per year each year, so I struggled with simply paying bills and putting food in my mouth.  I could only afford to take $20 on a 4 day trip with me and that had to feed me for the whole time.  It's a good thing I never got really sick from some of the stuff I bought to eat from 7/11's  or gas stations.  Seriously.

I realized then how to live within my means, but I also knew I never wanted to be stretched so thin.  I do pretty well now, having been an airline pilot for nearly 19 years now, but I know I can and will have more.  There are people making in excess of $5,000 per week from Beachbody as Coaches, and I want to achieve that as well.

They say "Money doesn't buy happiness," and I think that's probably right, but I also think that most people who say that are not financially independent.  Jim Rohn said "money isn't everything, but it ranks right up there with air."  I believe that too.

So my goals are to help others achieve the same level of fitness and health, and improve their lives like I have, and to build a large income while doing that. 

What can I have and do with that kind of money?  A lot.  I can pay off any debt my parents have.  I can make sure that my family never has to worry about anything financial.   I can take a big group of my friends out to dinner and pay for it without batting an eye.  I can help a lot of people.  I can donate more to charity.  I can put solar panels on my house.   I can live where ever I want in the country.

I have never wanted an opulent life.  I don't expect or want to have 18 Mercedes and a 20,000 square foot house.   But I can have more, and more importantly, be more than I am now.  I can fulfill all of the potential I believe I have, and be the success I know I should be, and I can help others do the exact same thing.

That's why I do this, and that's what I'm working toward with my entire Team.   Want to come along for the ride?  I'm ready if you are.
