I Am The Shy Guy
It's true...I Am Shy.
Not debilitatingly shy. I mean if someone introduces me or if someone says something to me and such, we're off to the races and having a conversation.
I talking about the kind of shy that makes it near impossible to just walk up to someone unknown to me and just strike up a conversation! Even, "Hi, how are you? Some weather we've been having." is stuck in my throat. Odd. I wonder what I think is going to happen? I mean, I'm pleasant. I'm not Hunchback of Notre Dame ugly. I can speak intellegently on a variety of topics.
What's holding me back?
Fear, I suppose. Fear of Rejection. Fear of Failure.
Which all boils down to Fear of Nothing, really. Ah Ha! An ephifany! What's the worst that could happen? Nothing ...to me. "No" can't hurt me. Rejection? Their loss, not mine. Failure? Failing leads to success. (I was going to say that "Failure is the shadow that Success casts" but that dosen't make any sense, does it?).
So I resolve to be less shy and more outgoing.
And if Rejection and/or Failure happen to follow, what do I do?
Say, "Isn't that Interesting." and take another step forward.

Integrity
Hi everyone!
This is going to be a bit longer than you're used to from me. Today I'm going to talk about Integrity...a little bit about Beachbody's and then about me.
Beachbody is a Multi Level Marketing company. I know what you're thinking...Amway. (sort of.) Pyramid scheme. (absolutely not!) The people at the bottom don't make the money the people at the top do. Well...that's true. I mean do you make as much as your supervisor/manager? Does he make as much as your company's Vice-President? Does he make as much as the CEO? So...technically...everywhere is a kind of multi level marketing.
The only difference is at Beachbody, if I put the effort in, I can make as much or more than your CEO! Let's face it...if you're making $10 an hour and you come in and are the hardest worker, doing more than everyone else, become the go to guy that the boss comes to every day...you're still making $10 an hour. There are Coaches here who are making thousands of dollars a week. Am I one of them? No. Do I want to be? Sure. But money is not the be all, end all to me or Beachbody.
True story. As you know, Shakeology, Beachbody's Ultra Premium health shake, is taking the industry by storm. Sales are through the roof and growing. It comes in two flavors...Greenberry and Chocolate. And everyone from the Coaches to the customers have been clamoring for another - Vanilla. And at the Coach Summit earlier this year they unveiled the Vanilla flavor. The crowd went wild. And then the CEO, Carl Daiekler, said, "And we're not going to do it. We may never be able to do it."
You see, Beachbody prides itself on making Shakeology completely natural. When the fella who formulated Shakeology asked the manufacturer how they were able to get this fantastic vanilla ice cream cone taste a dirty little secret came out. Because vanilla is such a delicate taste and very hard to get naturally, the FDA allows companies to insert a certain amount of chemicals to attain that taste and still call it "all natural." All well and good but some of these chemicals are unpronounceable and are even used in photographic processing!
So Beachbody said "no." They are going to keep the product pure and forgo hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars in sales. For Integrity's sake. That's the kind of company you and I are involved with.
Here's a link to the video of that moment.

As for me, every so often I'll post something at the end of one of these notes asking you to consider become a Beachbody Coach. It is a fantastic opportunity and, believe me, now is the time. Big things are happening here and they're only gonna get bigger. Would I like you to sign up as a coach on my team? Sure! By the way - you are all members of Team Transform - Transforming Mind*Body*Fortune. I think I'm gonna have some T-Shirts made! :)
But the most important thing to me is helping you. I was talking to Carl (yep...first name basis with the CEO!) and he said Beachbody is not a MLM (Multi Level Marketing) company. We're a PHP company. People Helping People. I want you to reach all your goals. If you want to get fit? I'm here. If you want to be a Coach? I'm here. If you have questions? I'll get the answers.
But my most important job as a Team Beachbody Coach is this - to believe in someone before they believe in themselves. I'm sitting on top of a wall and I've got my hand out to help you over. You can do it. You can achieve anything.
Stick with it. Keep pushing play. I believe in you.

Stick With It!
Hello everyone!
Hope all of you are having a great year (so far) and are pushing play regularly. I've really decided to commit to bringing it this year - eating clean, pushing play and leaving it all on the training room floor. Although I'm sweating so much my eyes are red! People must think I'm sick, stoned or crazy! (I'll never tell!)
Remember - 2010 is the year we stick with it. Just think - the summer season is literally right around the corner. I know I want to look good at the beach and the street and I'm sure y'all want to do the same. Show up, get outta your head about it and keep pushing play! As Mr. P90X Tony Horton says, "Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is your body." Consistency is the key!
Stick with it!
See me at www.beachbodycoach.com/josefk and learn how to get 25% of all your orders!
Keep at it!

You and 2010
Hello Everyone!
Its been a little while since I, your Beachbody coach, pestered you with a informational and (hopefully) motivational post so I sit here with keyboard in hand to touch base with all of you.
I had a terrible cold over the New Year's festivities. I must have swallowed a gallon or three of Orange juice and a box of Alka-Seltzer Cold medicine! See...even us healthy types succumb to the season! All better now although my workouts suffered from the cold weather, a cold and my visiting mother's cooking. I've determined my parents are enablers - "Oh, you're putting on weight. You should get up and do something. Here, eat more of this!" I survived.
Now then:
2010 is the year you stick with it!
You may have had your program for a while and due to the events of real life let things fall by the wayside. Now is the time to get back on that horse! Push Play and get into the shape you had or should of had in high school! You can do it!
Remember: Nothing works unless you do! Resolve to exercise. Resolve to eat clean. Resolve to do it. Take your Day 1 pictures (you don't have to show them to anybody!). The camera doesn't lie - that's you. Be better.
Take advantage of everything the Team Beachbody site has to offer. Complete your profile and set your goals. Join the Club and gain access to everything. Use WOWY. Use the Message boards. Use ME! That's why I'm here.
Please let me know how you're doing. If you have any questions please ask.

Shorter Days
Hello Everyone!
Crazy things happening at my 'regular' job. They're talking about 'excessing' maybe 100 people. Excessing means they have too many people in the jobs they have. Don't worry...no one can get fired but I found out they can move us to within a 750 mile radius! Sheesh. Oh well...plenty of things to think about but nothing to worry about. We'll have to see what happens. Thank goodness I'm the CEO of my own Beachbody company and the extra cash that provides.
Well, the days have gotten shorter. We all know what that means...Big Family Get-Togethers with Big Family Meals! For those of you have been working out for a while or just started and have seen great results just wait until family and friends who haven't seen you in a while get a load of you! Get ready for the oooh's and ahhh's! It happened to me, it'll happen to you! And, man, does it feel good!
Its also the season where you man eat a little more than you should and you may miss a work out or two. My advice...don't beat yourself up about it. Try to get out and take a walk, bring your bands with you (red, green, black...magenta!) and squeeze in a small session. You may even get someone to join you and spread the Beachbody word. When you get back, hit it hard again. You can do it!
Please let me know what I can do for you. Let me know how you're doing. Friend me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/josefk3). Take your pictures (don't worry...you don't have to show them to anyone...but you will when you see those results!).
You can reach your fitness goals. Keep pushing play!

You Are What You Eat
You Are What You Eat
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had this conversation:
“Yeah, I tried that but I didn’t lose any weight.”
“Really? Did you follow the program?”
“Yeah.”“Hmmm…did you eat clean?”
“Huh?”
“What did you eat? What did you have for breakfast?”
“Pancakes.”
“Ahh. How about lunch?”
“Big Mac and small fries…and a Diet Coke.” (because you all know the Diet Coke magically eliminates the fat intake of the Big Mac!)
“I see.”
Do you see? Getting out there and working out, pushing play, is only part of the equation. Actually, it’s only maybe 30% of it. But that 30% combined with eating clean and a healthy lifestyle will allow you to reach all your goals. And there are quite a few ways to do it.
Every Beachbody program comes with a healthy eating/diet guide…with lots of great recipes. Use sites like fitday.com and myfitnesspal.com to log in what you eat. Push play. Follow the program! That’s all you have to do.
You are what you eat. 5 words. 16 letters. 1 rule. Eat clean!
