Failing Up As a Beachbody Coach

This has been on my mind and it isn't directed at any person, just something I have come across the past few weeks and I hope this helps someone reading this.....

I have had a lot of people coming to me with personal struggles... or just being able to see it in their eyes that they are hurting. I want you to know that you are not alone in what ever it is you are going through. That there is someone who has once or is currently going through the same thing... reach out and ask for help. And the one piece of advice I can give is that WE all have STRUGGLES.... but what we FOCUS on, is what we bring more of... if we are hurting, struggling and focusing on that or fearful and focusing on that we create more of that (don't know about you all but I don't need more PROBLEMS), if we STOP and change our FOCUS to that of opportunity, possibility, solutions and start taking action on those things we create MORE opportunity, solutions, possibility. When you change your focus you will feel a huge sense of relief.

I was in a depressing work situation and fearful that working for a corporation without a fulfilling purpose was all that there was in life.... i was looking for MORE and when I did find it, when I became a coach I was TERRIFIED.... fearful of failure, fearful of what others would think, but one thing I knew is that my FEAR of being stuck at a job with no PURPOSE was BIGGER than my fear of what others thought, or my fear of failure... My will to succeed was bigger than any FEAR standing in my way. I also knew the fear I had of failure and what others thought would always hold me back and I didn't want to be sitting in that same desk in another 5 years depressed because I was afraid of what others thought of me!

And that is when I started to realize if I wanted my life to change, I had to change..... if I wanted to help others I had to lead the way. If I was worried about what others thought that would hold me back from my own potential and would hold me back from helping someone. I am sure I post things that others judge, but that is okay, because hopefully when I post something it has an impact on helping just one person in a positive way. A friend reminded me of that the other day when I became FEARFUL to post something from my heart... she said if you have the ability to touch one person isn't that worth it, why would you let what others think stop you from helping one person, and she reminded me of something that I posted that had helped her.... that was all I needed. Know that you pushing through your fears and going after what you want in life will not only free you, but also help those around you, even if they do judge at first.... usually when someone judges it is because they don't understand. Bless and release them. 

Know that what ever it is that you are going through at the moment will pass.... and that you aren't alone. Know that you can change your focus, that you can find a solution. You just have to take that first step. I know that step is the toughest to take, but it will be worth it... then take another and another and before you know it you will be running. You can ACHIEVE everything you have ever dreamed of in life as soon as you give up the notion that you can't...... and BELIEVE that you CAN. Then start taking action. One step at a time.

If you know someone who needs this tag or share!! And if you are ready to take the next step in changing your health, fitness, finances or all of the above, don't hesitate to message me at www.facebook.com/klcurtis or at irongalteam@gmail.com. I love paying forward what I have learned and helping others to live a life by their own design!

Beachbody Coach Start up vs. Trainer Certification vs. College Degree

THIS is another one of those RANTS...... it's a doozy!

I spent $699 so that I can start studying and take a personal training certification exam and get certified as a trainer...... and I spent another $225 for an Insanity Certification...... WHY am I sharing this? 

Well I hear all the time that a business start up of $140 is too expensive.... and why would someone pay money to make money? Well for $140, you get a fitness program to try, 30 meals (count them 3-0) of Shakeology (I spend more than $100 on 30 meals anyways), 4 business websites, coach training, a mentor who has taken that $140 start up to over a SIX FIGURE INCOME... an intern program..... and help to guide you towards what needs to be done to get you from point A to YOUR DREAMS that seem so UNATTAINABLE one step at a time...... People are skeptical of this....

But then, pay $699 for a PT CERT program to get a bunch of books to study and take a test with in 6 months to get a Certification..... now I am obviously not putting that down. I just paid the $699 for the program ..... I am doing it because I love to learn more about the body, fitness, helping others, adding more tools to my toolbox so that I am able to benefit and help more people..... but the $699 is paying money to make money as well yet we don't find that SKEPTICAL!!!! and isn't that paying money to make money? As you can see the point here is the skepticism that we hold, that we are programmed through our culture that can hold us back from OUR OWN POTENTIAL...

We (not all of us..... and ME INCLUDED) pay over 50-100k to get a DEGREE... go in debt, spend 40+ hours a week studying for the debt that we got ourselves in to.... to finish school with a piece of paper and maybe a job. JOB NOT guaranteed. I graduated with a bachelors degree in finance, student loan debt and a job that started out at 28k a year. I couldn't AFFORD to pay the loans I had worked so hard to get...... so for 4 years I went in debt, I paid someone else to work for 40 hours a week.... i went in major debt, paid money to make money again (a lot more money was paid to make that 28k my first year and 32k my second)!! Again, I went to college and I am not putting it down.... I probably wouldn't do it again, but that is okay it is what led me here. 

I am sharing this with you to shed some light on what we as a culture are programmed to think. I paid money to work hard through college and no one was skeptical when I did that.... no one was skeptical when I graduated and paid 100k+ in debt for that piece of paper and 4 years of hard work towards school, no one was skeptical when I was earning 28k a year to start and couldn't afford the debt I had paid to get me the education to get the job..... no one is skeptical when I pay $699 to get a Personal Training Certification..... so then why is is that people are skeptical of $140 to get a fitness program, a workout, a business (YOUR OWN BB FRANCHISE), training, learning, mentor.... learning from someone who has taken the $140 to over six figures in less than 2 years. Then why is it that people doubt that $140??? when it comes in a business form?

There is nothing wrong with college. It's for some, it's not for everyone. There is nothing wrong with a personal training certification. It's for some, it's not for everyone. There is nothing wrong with a network marketing business that helps others through health and fitness. It's for some, it's not for everyone........ yet there are so many doubters and skeptics who want to speak negatively. Why is it that we are programmed to be skeptical of things we don't understand? How can we promote more research, more open mindedness..... even if something isn't for us? Or if we don't understand and it's not for us why put that down and speak negatively?

.........Off soap box now!
