Start acting on what you DO have

/in , , /by

🤦🏼‍♀️Who’s gonna care what I post
🤦🏼‍♀️I’m so awkward
🤦🏼‍♀️My life is too boring to be interesting
🤦🏼‍♀️___is probably talking behind my back
🤦🏼‍♀️I hate how I look/sound

How I felt starting this business and getting on social media. I hear it from my new coaches now. I can promise you they’re all normal thoughts.

I can also promise you they’re all ego and fear talking. None of it’s relevant.

You started on this endeavor because you knew, deep down, you had something to offer.

It’s time to stop dwelling on what you don’t have, and start acting on what you DO have🤜🏼🤛🏼

Any REALLY inspirational person you know also had a rough start BUT THEY ENDURED it… hence the label “inspirational” 😉

Be that person for someone else.

Workout Variety

/in , , /by

Yes I have a Peloton! I also run, row, CrossFit, and make up my own workouts.

I just LOVE different things; fitness is like a sport to me!

I LOVE to mix things up in between BB programs.

I think there’s this misconception that you can’t be a BB coach unless that’s the ONLY workouts you ever do.

Nothing wrong with it if it IS all you do. And there’s nothing wrong if that’s NOT the only thing you ever do.

Right?! 🤷🏼‍♀️☺️🙌🏼

Work WHERE you want, WHEN you want, and with WHOM you want

/in , /by

Work WHERE you want, WHEN you want, and with WHOM you want. Sounded too good!

And the earning potential? I was like NO WAY, not possible😂! I didn’t get it …so I initially filled my brain with pre-conceived notions to reject what I thought was NOT a REAL business. But then I asked Q’s, understood the facts, & went ALL IN.

I started at ground zero. NO time -a mom working my full time job. NO following. NO extra $ to spare.

I didn’t START with this awesome squad. And I wasn’t on social media either.

I didn’t START with a transformation. I didn’t START with a CLUE of what to do and I certainly was NOT making sales out of the gate. NOPE, none of the above☺️.

I just FREAKIN STARTED & stayed ridiculously consistent despite LIFE happening at every turn. I put my head down 🙇🏼‍♀️before and after my REAL job☺️and took it 1 day at a time. I didn’t try to compare myself to others or fit a mold.

I was disorganized, awkward, & made a $hit TON of mistakes. It was messy🤪 & sometimes it still is!☺️ But I learned so that I could shortcut the process for others🏃‍♀️

But if you’re not going for what you WANT, taking risks, falling & getting back up, girrrrrl…. what are you ACTUALLY doing?! 🤔If you feel you’re missing something, you probably ARE. Your comfort zone is comfortable, but it’s also either very stressful or BORING😒which is FINE if it’s all for a better end in sight, but is there??🧐

I knew I could develop my OWN thing but WHY put my self thru that STRESS🤦🏼‍♀️ when this is MUCH faster & i can make it my OWN .. not to mention a proven successful business model! A comment below to get more info is step 1 😉

p.s. I Thank God I get to do this with my husband💗, fueled by this beautiful team of LEADERS that grows DAILY👭👭 and serving all of you!🙏🏻 But you don’t need to have that to START.
You BUILD to that 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Congratulations, Robin!

You need heart, patience, purpose, & a DECISION

/in , /by

These were my thoughts then… can you relate ?

I don’t have spare time
I’m not comfortable posting pics
I’m not good enough
I wouldn’t attract people like she can
I wouldn’t know how to find clients
I don’t have any following
I don’t have an amazing story or transformation
I want to help but not sell
Friends/family would be annoyed…

Those are FEARS I had, not reality. You need NONE of that list above👆🏼 to start & build your own thing successfully. ☝ You need heart, patience, purpose, & a DECISION believe in yourself💥

Which, if any, best describes your hesitations…
1. Social media🤳
2. Judgement🙈
3. Spouse/SO doesn’t support 🚫
4. Time constraints ⏰
5. Concerned about cost 💴

Tips and Tricks to Build Your Online Business

/in , /by

My trainings cover this stuff but in case it helps anyone else wanting to build their online business, here are a few of the apps/tips/tricks I use to save time & build my business which helps me help more people!
.
1️⃣ Apps:

📲Word Swag for text on a white backdrop or photo
.
📲iMovie & PicPlayPost for video editing & adding music🎧 & lifting the exposure 💡(ie takes a video in a dark space to a brighter room)
.
📲Lightroom CC (to brighten the pic, sharpen it, .. I don’t use filter presets (yet) but just bought some from @alexajeanfitness that I may try!)
.
📲CutStory when I have a longer video but want it automatically sliced into 15 second videos for IG stories
.
2️⃣ Tripod for iPhone with base from Amazon. Make sure you get a tall one! Mine is almost as tall as me; most are super short 👎🏼
.
3️⃣ Ring Light🔘 is KEY for lighting your face for LIVE’s & my trainings with my team! ( from StellarLightingSystems website but Amazon has some too).
.
4️⃣ The edits within IG aren’t bad! Stick to a consistent filter if you’re going to use one. I often just use the brightness + sharpness & sometimes click the sun ☀️ icon at the top that says “LUX”. With food, I use the brightness & sharpness edits FOR SURE🍃
.
5️⃣ Film from your phone on your tripod (don’t use the front facing camera; it’s not as good IMHO) and then play it back, hit pause and then slowly scroll thru the video, then screen shot the angle/moment you wanted to capture.
.
6️⃣ Voice to text for texts, comments, DM’s, emails, etc. So much faster than typing it all out. Warning ⚠️ tho: proofread it😂
.
7️⃣ Canva app or their website for creating pretty graphics🌸
.
8️⃣ Hautestock for amazing graphics if u join as a member
.
9️⃣ Try to avoid these things if you’re trying to grow your account: dark pics or videos, blurry pics, using the same type of image or video for all your posts, picture collages, a bunch of different colored borders or font on pics.
.
I’m certainly not the best at any of these but thought it might be helpful to share😊

Use & appreciate what you have

/in , , /by

I’m about average height, average weight, probably average intelligence🤷🏼‍♀️🤔, less-than-average hair😆, practically no lips😐, average athleticism🏄‍♀️, no natural organizational skills, a scarred face, I’m always running late🏃‍♀️, I suck at cooking🤦🏼‍♀️, & the list goes on😂.. but I feel incredibly grateful, happy, and NONE of this keeps me from hustling or achieving success.
.
SO MANY of you in DM’s tell me you’d love to do what I do but proceed to tell me what you DON’T have... as *if* that matters🤷🏼‍♀️ We could have a contest of “dont have’s”!

But all that matters is that we use & appreciate what we DO have. That means taking some risks when you’re not quite sure what that is yet! Throwing some spaghetti on the wall to see what sticks🍝! Yep! Do it! Build the tribe you wish you had! Only thing stopping you is YOU believing the “dont have’s” actually matter.
.
Most people are NOT willing to put themselves out there.. too much pride, not enough purpose. You don’t have any competition bcuz no one is you (unless you’re copying someone else).
.
Be so busy creating value & fun that you don’t have time to wish you had more💃🏼

DEAL ???😁

Are You Pursuing Your Ideal Life?

/in , , /by

I used to sleep with a tennis racket next to my bed in case I was attacked by a bat🦇
.
Let me explain ..and first please know, my parents gave me an AMAZING childhood with love, lessons & belief in myself!
.
But when I was in 1st grade, we had moved into a 100-year old Victorian home/mansion that had been trashed; everything inside broken, smelly, rats, mice, bats. It had 3 floors, elevators, a ballroom, 6 chimneys (perfect for bats) and again, it had been trashed by previous owners.
.
My parents wanted to restore the house to its original state.
.
In the years of restoration of this house, we had break-ins, my bedroom window was shot-3 bullet holes, my dad’s van was stolen from our driveway, constant battling w/bats- I remember dad attempting to kill a bat flying over my little brother napping😮, my parents cars vandalized & the list goes on.
.
In the coming years we were on the news for the amazing restoration mom & dad had done and I *think* we may have been perceived as “rich”. I don’t know. I didn’t care about money, I just wanted safety & normalcy.
.
When we moved years later, we had no money and moved into a small house in a normal neighborhood.. ahh, my basic need for safety was met!! (except for aggressive fights with Chalene🤼‍♀️😆)
.
But I’m so grateful for that 6 yrs of my life bcuz it taught me SO much!
.
Sometimes someone will say to me, “I know this will sound weird to you but I’m not motivated by money” .. as if *i* am🤔
.
Believe me, I’ve been poor and rich and back & forth thru my life. I know full well that money doesn’t buy happiness☺️
.
It’s the small things.. being home when my son gets off school, having control of my schedule, working my passion, living each day not just weekends. Earning the money to be able to make choices for myself & my family is a major bonus. Gratitude at every stage is KEY.
.
Stay consistent, surround yourself with an awesome FitSister tribe🤸🏼‍♂️🏄‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️ who empowers you to be better, don’t even TRY to please everyone or DO every thing, leverage your strengths & trust the ups & downs🎢 of your path are necessary!
.
What’s your IDEAL life ….& are you pursuing that??
