Congratulations! You’ve become a Beachbody coach!
You’re about to join an amazing supportive community of people doing some of the most exciting and rewarding work out there. Go you! Your life is about to change in more ways than one and I know you’re just so excited to hit the ground running!
Before you get out there and change some lives, there are a few things you need to know, one being that your personal development is probably the MOST important of the Four Vital Behaviors of Beachbody coaches. And before you go crazy wondering where to start, let me tell you that it starts with the simple act of cracking open a book.
If that doesn’t sound terribly appealing to you, you’re not alone.
I was not a reader prior to coaching. Before I signed on as a Beachbody coach, I may have read maybe eight books in my life. Heck, I was an accountant, which basically meant that I didn’t even want to read textbooks. I was a numbers gal. But I understood the need and the value of my own personal development.
We were on a tight budget when I started coaching, so my husband and I couldn’t justify the expense of trips to the bookstore. But I found that a good old-fashioned library card made my professional development reading more affordable. I started reading a little bit here and there, but as my business took off I started grabbing audio books from the library and made my car “a rolling university.” I gave up the jams and used my road trips and commutes for learning and growing. I even apologized to my friends who had to listen to books in my car when they were riding as passengers. I just couldn’t get enough!
I’m now a 3-time Elite and 2-time Top 20 coach, and I’ve attained Millionaire Club status.
The five books below will absolutely blow your mind, and they’ve helped me in my own development and growth.
