Success Story Zero

If a disease has it's traces to the so-called "Patient Zero", then perhaps I am "Success Story Zero" when it comes to the health benefits of Shakeology.

My family has a history of brutally high cholesterol. In June 2006 with a cholesterol reading of 258, far over the acceptable range of 120-200, my doctor put me on the drug Lipitor. By October, my cholesterol was down to 226. Then I married Isabelle, an admitted health nut, who brought to my attention some of the reported liver side effects of prolonged use of the drug, so I stopped. By September 2007 I was up to 262!
Then I started to take Shakeology every single day.

One year later, I am happy to report that my cholesterol is down well into the safe zone, 172, with no drugs! As the first guy to take Shakeology every day, I know that makes me the very first healthy success story!

Now, I will be the first to say, this is by no means scientific proof and every body is different. I exercise, I eat better, I take Fish Oil and Red Yeast Rice, and I consume less alcohol than I did a few years ago. But I know I am not living the "perfect cholesterol reducing lifestyle" either, so this performance is quite gratifying for me.

As we look at the cost of health care in this country, my nutritional supplements cost less and are better for my OVERALL health than the prescription I was taking. Each daily dose cost almost the same as one serving of Shakeology - and the Shake gives me an entire meal at the same time! It's crazy!

This week as we celebrate all we have to be thankful for, in addition to so many things, I am thankful to be affiliated with people that created a product that goes so far beyond good daily nutrition and weight loss, but which actually completely improves my health and energy.

Shakeology, I am exceptionally thankful!

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.
