Work with the BEST, Forget the rest!!

I have been asked this question over and over again. What do I do about my coaches who don't want to work??? My answer is always the same...Let them know you are there, keep feeding them information, but do not, I REPEAT do not lose any sleep over it!!
To many times I have seen people come and go in this type of business. It is all about timing and if you try to force people to work, they will disappear faster then they appeared. The one thing we tend to forget as we get fired up and get going is that this is a volunteer army and the people who are in our downline don't have to be??
The best thing to do is drip on them, let them know what you and your team are doing. Don't be pushy or try to be a boss. We signed up for this because we didn't want a boss or a supervisor. By pushing someone who isn't working, you tend to give them a feeling of being in a job job, if you know what i mean. The main reason people do network marketing is that they want freedom, not to be told "get to work!!"
So next time you feel the need to tell someone who is not working the business like they should to get to it, take a deep breath, count to 5, then tell them that you are having a blast and you wish they were working so they could join you at the top!! Till next time!!

Great things to come!!!

Hey to everyone in the Beach Body Community!! Check back here for great tips, ideas and more to help grow your team!! Over 10 years ago I got out of this type of home based biz and swore I would never do it again! Then I found Beach Body. I didn't go looking for another business opportunity, I was looking for a way to lose weight and get healthy. I started doing a program called Slim In 6 and the pounds started to fall off but I quit less then 3 weeks in!

Then around Christmas of 2008 with my marraige falling apart and just about everything else in my life going wrong, my wife told me about a new program she ordered from Beach Body. It was called ChaLEAN Extreme and it saved my marraige, and my life! Now just over 6 weeks into the program I have lost over 20lbs and changed my life forever!! After we started the program I got on the phone with my coach, a wonderful person I became aquainted with when I tried SI6. Her name is Barbie, yes I know like the doll and she is one!! I asked her about the BeachBody Revolution and the rest is what we will call history!! Now you need to understand, my wife and I already have a successful business in the archery industry and we were not looking for anything else to do. After looking at the entire program we decided we couldn't lose, Heck we could save 25% on the products we were going to buy anyway!!

But then I spent some time looking into the entire program and realized that there had never been a multi-level marketing company with the program that Beach Body had put together. That's when I got excited!! And I mean really excited. See, heres the deal, we were high level directors in the last network biz we were in. Now that company had over 100,000 people involved when we joined so it was no where as young as BB and the program never did any advertising on TV, much less spend $90 million dollars a year. Plus BB puts customers into your business!! Folks there has never been a home business like this before and I mean never!! The other thing is that it is based around programs that work, not magnets or discounts on shampoo. This program is built on one of the largest industries in our beloved USA!! Well that is all for now, check back here soon for more on how to make this an unbelievable business, because it is and I am!! Later!
