Being a leader in any business is not about knowledge, perception or toughness. Leadership is about putting others in position to be successful. They say in this world that a leader with no follower is a guy just out for a walk. I try to be a leader in my beachbody business. These are my principles.
1) My business is about helping people reach their fitness goals - I try to make people realize that being their coach is about their goals, their programs and their dreams. I never want my business to be about my personal benefits to their success. It's about them living a healthier lifetstyle. It's about helping them. Everything else is non sense.
2) Being personal - When someone tells me they are struggling, it is my job to listen and offer advice, no more no less. I never offer a program, that is inpersonal. What I try to do is talk about a plan. Maybe it's not p90X or insanity, maybe it is just, get off the couch and take a walk. People are much more grateful when you offer baby steps and not a sales pitch
3) Never be jealous of other people's success - When you hear about 10 star diamonds in four different business centers it can be frustrating, you are positive and helping or at least you think you are just as much as they are but your are not getting results. focus on you and your personal development. Remember Rome was not built in a Day.
4) It's is ultimately about doing - Whatever it takes for you to break out of your comfort zone, you have to do it. Leaders lead others. Praying is great and wishing is great but not taking action will lead you no where. At the end of the day, you are offering a solution,, putting that solution in front of people can be hard and rejection will happen, but you must take action.
5) Get in shape yourself. - Leaders are people you can count on and are looked up to. If you are offering a solution and you have not even developed your own program of success, how will you expect people to follow you. Be passionate about getting in shape. If you don't, no one will want to work with you!!, that is fact!!
6) Different media - Leaders will find any and all ways to market their solution and personal brand. (Blogs, emails, videos, chats. How do you connect with others in a positive, motivating way will lead and draw people to you. Make it personal, make it real. My business is about fighting obesity. This could be life or death for someone. If a certain program has worked for you, let it out.
7) Rejection of the Beachbody Coaching concept - This must be a scheme and you can't make real money doing it. Leaders set the example of what can truly happen. The people i have as coaches in my business are like family to me. Many people are simply not ready for your business and that is OK. Rejection comes with any business. Leaders do not take it personally, they work like dogs for other ways to get people fired up. When 5 people tell you no, find the one person who will say yes.
Finally, If all else fails, be a leader for your body. You are the CEO of the greatest tool God have given you, your body. You can decide, right now, today, that you are ready to start the journey. You will be afraid and not know things but leaders are always looking to take their game to the next level even if they don't know what results will come about.
Leaders look at rejection as part of the process not the end of the process. Here is to you finding your leadership soul and crushing your beachbody business
