Allow me introduce you to my amazing friend, success partner, fellow coach, dedicated mom, devoted wife and brilliant leader. I hope I didn’t miss anything in that list. Amy and I are connected through marriage. We met briefly 9 years ago at my brother’s wedding. We weren’t friends right away, but thanks to the power of social media, we eventually became quite close. What a powerful tool Facebook is!
Together we have become a powerhouse – just two moms with a desire to live healthy, fulfilling lives and be the wives and moms God has called us to be. The past 3 years has proved that God has called us to be so much more and I am proud to say that this lady is making a huge splash in this world.
Amy’s Story
Just over 2 years ago Amy became a very cautious coach on my team. She bought the least expensive program available and only coached with the hopes of getting her Shakeology at a discount. No way did this tired mama plan on trying to build a business. She had never loved working out or eating healthy and she sure didn’t have the success story. Helping others become healthy and fit seemed unrealistic. If you are a new coach or considering coaching, you know exactly what she felt. It’s common.
But through time and consistency and her natural tendency to finish what she started, she began to see results- awesome results! But even better than what was showing on the outside was how she was feeling on the inside and the confidence she was building. It was an awesome experience for me as her coach. As a new coach myself, she was one of my first success stories. I can’t begin to tell you how amazing it feels to see your clients hit their goals and build that inner confidence. It changes who you are as a person.
Fast forward 2 years and Amy is just GLOWING! I have watched this girl build such a strong team of leaders. They have come together and designed phenomenal accountability groups where they offer support, motivation, recipes, prayers and advice. The focus on the needs of others is evident in everything they do and the results of their challengers are proof. Every month I hear of yet another success story coming from the coaches on her team and the accountability groups they run. It is just awesome.
Amy is just as amazing with her team and helping them build successful business. This is clear based on the fact that Amy has doubled her teacher’s salary in just 2 years! Say what? She could not have done that if she was not helping her team succeed and build strong business. She set a goal to stay home with her kids. She would have gone back to teaching this year but the wheels had been set in motion and she saw the momentum picking up. She knew she no longer had to be tied down to a job that kept her away from her true heart’s desire- her family.
The Skeptical Husband
I’d say most of us who start as coaches have one. It’s okay because Eric (Amy’s husband) was all smiles on the 5 night ALL EXPENSE PAID cruise Amy earned. He didn’t seem to mind at all that she had surpassed his income. Don’t worry Eric, you are still the bread winner – It is through your support and love that Amy has built her business the way she has.
I just wanted to share how proud I am of Amy. She did this all with just 10-15 hours a week of work and most of that was done while her kids slept. It makes me smile to see how the law of decision can make such a big impact. Never underestimate the power of what you can achieve. If you are a coach, let this message be an encouragement to you. If you are not a coach and feel a little skeptical, let that go and be willing to dream a little bigger. This life has a lot to offer- a whole lot! It really all begins with the willingness to shut off the negative voices, decide what you want, and be willing to sacrifice a little now to achieve a lot later.
What do you have to lose? I hope to hear your success story soon.
