A Special Birthday Request



Dear Team Beachbody Coach:

I am having a birthday party and you're invited! I am asking for a special birthday present too. No, not a pretty new pony. I would like to break the record for the most coaches present on a Game Plan call since we started them. (I think the first call had 300 on it.) I am hoping you will be there to make that happen for me.

My birthday party Game Plan call is at 8AM PT Monday, Nov 23rd. All I ask is that you and as many coaches in your up and downline can join me for my Game Plan party, and help me celebrate our growth (and my receding hairline and increasing age.)

Please mark this in your calendar: 1(605) 475-6400 passcode: 354-5248

I hope to see you on the call!

Carl

Great Idea for the Gift of Health

We had a great coach call this morning discussing the big training in Dallas, the upcoming event in Vegas on Dec 5th (be there and get people there!), the importance of home parties, and the opportunity to use the products in the Beachbody catalogue as healthy gift ideas this year.
After the call I was thinking how smart it would be for people to give Shakeology instead of a bottle of wine.
What if you committed to give at least two bags of Shakeology to two people who you would otherwise struggle to find "the right gift" for? A gift that is actually good for the recipient... That's the real spirit of giving isn't it?
And when I arrived at the office, I got into the elevator with our Senior Director of Training and Development, Sandi Bouhadana who trumped my idea with her own: Between her kids and their school and activities, she has ten teachers who she will buy gifts for this year. Instead of the traditional "basket of soaps," she has decided to give each of the teachers a sampler pack of Shakeology.
As an idea for a coach, that's a great one for a few reasons:
(1) You are showing you truly care about someone when you give them this special, healthy shake. Bio-available nutrition for healthy energy. It doesn't get better than that.
(2) People who try it as a gift are very likely to want to buy more.
(3) Teachers are great coaches - They need and appreciate the extra money and they are great at networking. You might find that gift leads to a mutually productive business relationship. But that is a distant third to the top priority of giving someone a gift that is truly meaningful this year. That's the point!
I think it's a great idea. From giving Shakeology or a program P90X, Insanity or Chalean Extreme to anyone on your gift list, I am sure there are a thousand other ideas that our coaches will come up with.
But the important thing right now - like, today - is to get the word to your team of coaches ASAP. There truly is no better or more timely gift, than the gift of health! Coaches just might not think of it - until it's too late! Don't let that happen - our mission needs your energy and focus right now!
Every little action we all take toward getting people focused on healthy behavior vs. a neutral or negative habits is productivity toward our goal. That's what this is about. "Slight Edge" thinking, where we gradually gather improvements in our productivity and health and that of the people around us. That's what this is about!
Pass this great holiday concept on, and let's keep the momentum growing!

Are You Serious About Success?


If you REALLY want to make extra money, you need to get serious. If you REALLY want to help more people get healthy and fit, you need to get serious.

Are you willing to invest just six hours to learn the steps that will put you on the same path as our top coaches? We are seeing impressive, compelling evidence that the Game Plan is generating new coaches, new sales, and a lot more awareness about the health and fitness movement that is Team Beachbody. But it's important that get trained on it so you get the most from this powerful tool.
The guy to learn it from is Larry Zimberg.

What sets the successful people from the everybody else? I know first hand - the difference is going the extra step, doing more than "normal", going the extra mile. This is one of those defining moments. What are you willing to do to succeed?

Larry is holding a Game Plan Training this Saturday (11/14) in Dallas, TX. People who attended the Leadership Event a month ago or the first stop on the Game Plan tour in Tacoma, WA compared it to a seminar for which they would have paid thousands of dollars. We're charging $10. Six hours of step-by-step training in how to apply the proven action steps of network marketing to getting out the word of our health-changing, life-transforming programs!

If you would have been willing to go to a four year college that was a long drive or a plane ride away to secure your future, why not make an investment in one road trip, one plane ticket to Dallas, and one day to absorb the information that could completely, and quickly, get your business on track?

Maybe it's just my nature, and maybe it's why I have been successful, but take from this CEO: If I were you, I would get to the very next training possible. No excuses. And I would lean on my primary leaders to meet me there. I would take pages of notes. I would review the information with my team immediately after the event, so we all worked the system together. And then I would work my tail off to use the system to generate the most productivity. I would not accept anything less from myself than that. So why not you? Now is the time to get serious about YOUR success.

Now That's a Plan!


What a week, and what a plan! Team Beachbody is on fire and the new Game Plan protocol, modeled on decades of success from some of the most successful network marketing organizations ever. It is a complete revelation!
And what blows me away is how this simple ten point system has already become a foundation coaches are using to plan day-to-day activities and even pursue business building ideas that have been brewing within the business for years.

The people who qualified for our Leadership Event at the Ritz in Dana Point were deluged with reinforcement on the ten points, proof that with just two months of application it really works.
Plus we launched a challenge to put it into action for an unprecedented 60 day push. If you're a coach and you're not participating in the 60 day challenge, I suggest you go for it and recommit to your success!
Almost 1,000 coaches have already signed up on the Facebook page to share their experiences using the Game Plan. People are updating on every facet of the plan, including productivity at soccer games, birthday parties, listening to great audiobooks, exploring the new 3rd party tools, starting home parties... It's on!

Coaches are once again using the network to help cash strapped charities raise funds, because now they have a system to hand off to the leaders of PTA's, church groups, and others who are motivated, but never knew how to apply our programs and products in order to make serious money. We even have a coach planning on holding a regular Sunday "Open House" complete with signs just like the real estate folks use. Imagine the flags and balloons around the neighborhood: "Healthy Open House - Free Shake!"

Coaches who have been watching the rest of the team have success while they struggled to sign their first coach are shocked to see how powerful the step by step system is.
Even coaches at the event, who were unsure what it would be like to commit to "Two Exposures a Day" were so encouraged when they started a conversation with the hotel maid, or the waitress at the restaurant, got interest, and they were not demoralized if they heard "no"!
I am so excited about the future I can barely contain my enthusiasm. This is how we increase the decibel level of healthy habits! Two exposures a day!
Do the Game Plan faithfully, and your business will finally get traction.
And I am so proud of the work that the company did to prepare these tools, especially Larry "Game Plan" Zimberg, Denise Needham, Sandi Bouhadonna and the rest of the team all under the guidance of GM Michael Neimand. The "3rd party tools" created by Natalie Barandes and the production team are world class. The new coach starter kit (especially the requisite "Getting Started Right" guide) created by Maria Gitto and her creative group are simple and easy to follow. And the new website finally brings the coach landing pages inside the Team Beachbody look and feel.
Shakeology sales are taking off using the sample packets and "Watch This" DVD, as more and more coaches are discovering how much better they feel within days of starting this daily health program. Coaches are showing their confidence in Shakeology by challenging prospects to try it by adding; "You will feel amazing in 30 days, or you don't pay!"

That's the way to leverage Team Beachbody's 30 day money guarantee guys! Nice work!
Thanks to all our coaches who have had faith in us to this major launch into stage two of our growth. It's the right time to get in position as start to look ahead to stage three; international expansion. That's when you'll be glad you got in, got your friends in, and properly positioned yourself for the spike.
And the Game Plan tour is about to hit the road. I'll be there to help kick off the first stop in Tacoma, WA. It's a combination of opportunity-meeting for prospects in the morning, and then an intensive training in the Game Plan the rest of the day. Do you know someone in the Northwest - Get 'em there!
It's time to make things happen, and I am proud to work beside you to rebuild the health of our country, and in the process rebuild the middle class by creating a million "CEO/coaches", running their own health and fitness business as part of Team Beachbody!

"That's my son, P90X"

I am hearing more and more things about how the fervor around P90X has become even more iconic than any of us could have imagined.

A prominent investment banker got in touch with me to tell me how big a fan he is of P90X, and that he knew we were doing something big when he saw a guy at his gym sporting an actual tattoo across his arm with the P90X logo! A permanent tattoo of our product, on his body! And since then, I've received a couple emails of customers who prove the premise... people are more committed to this program than ever!



Yesterday I read on Twitter about Donny Osmond saying ballroom dancing is harder than a P90X workout. And I also heard rumor that American Idol David Archuletta is now twittering about the program.

This week a customer contacted me through Facebook and told me that he and his wife are so pleased with the program and how Tony Horton presents the workouts that they are giving their soon-to-be-born son the middle name "Anthony" in honor of Mr. Horton himself. (I suggest they make his first name "P90X"... doubt he'll go for it.)

It's really unbelievable, and the new show about P90X should be out by the end of the year which demonstrates even more unbelievably how amazing this program is and how it has transformed what people think of home DVD workouts. I am grateful to every customer, to Tony, and to everyone at the company who never gave up to create the greatest fitness program ever put on DVD!

One scoop of The Fiber

6 oz of Organic Lemonade (organic matters)

2 oz of Rice Milk(also organic)

8 oz of ice

Half a Banana


Blend. Enjoy.


I swear, Ava downed this in minutes. And now I know my nine year old got a complete dose of fruits/vegetables nutrition today!
