GIVE vs. GET

Why did I become a Beachbody Coach? So I could try to share a gift that I had been given, the gift of improved health. While this may not be a popular philosophy, it is my philosophy. There are MANY opportunities that come along with Coaching and everyone is free to choose which opportunity they want to pursue, which opportunity they want to identify as their “WHY” for becoming a Coach. It was very easy for me to identify my WHY. The difference I felt physically, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually after my health started to improve was so AMAZING to me, I knew I wanted to do what I could to pass it along to everyone!

Recently, I have posted a few things on my Facebook account about what is important to me when it comes to Coaching. Getting feedback from others who want me to know that I have helped inspire, motivate, or support them in some way means SO MUCH MORE than any commission or bonus payout EVER could! Hearing things like: “Thank you for taking an interest in me!”, “Thanks for being there.”, “You have really helped and supported me, and I thank you.”, “Thank you Brett for your kind words. I appreciate it a lot.” doesn’t put one dime into my pocket, but it gives me a feeling inside that I wouldn't sell for any price!

I want to be sure to focus on what I can GIVE to others and not what I can GET out of them…

This is just my take on things, but I may be totally wrong. It wouldn’t be the first time and it certainly won’t be the last. If I’m wrong, then I guess I’ll continue to be wrong, because, in this case, it is SO REWARDING!

DON'T GET ME STARTED...

Don’t get me started on what’s wrong with my job…
Don’t get me started on what’s wrong with my boss…
Don’t get me started on what’s wrong with my wife…
Don’t get me started on what’s wrong with my kids…
Don’t get me started on what’s wrong with my friends…
Don’t get me started on what’s wrong with my neighbors…
Don’t get me started on what’s wrong with my government…
Don’t get me started on what’s wrong with my country…

I DON’T HAVE TIME TO TALK ABOUT ANY OF THESE, BECAUSE I NEED TO BE CONCERNED ON WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME!!! IF I CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT, I WON’T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE OTHER THINGS…

NO EXCUSES! IT'S TIME TO STEP UP AND BE ACCOUNTABLE!
