Team Beachbody – Tell the readers what you were doing before Beachbody and how you learned about the products and opportunity.
Rich Dafter – Before Beachbody, I had a successful Internet fitness site and I was a Polar authorized Internet dealer. Throughout the site, I also had banner advertising and I was a Beachbody affiliate. I had banners for P90X, MyBeachbody and other products and made some income from those banners and text links. I became an affiliate when Beachbody first started the program. In about November of 2006, I received an email from Beachbody saying that the affiliate program was ending and I immediately sent an email asking if there was any way that I could stay on as an affiliate, since it was my best affiliate program (I had others like REI, Roadrunner Sports and Performance Bicycle). I was told no, but I did get an email from Neil Evans at Beachbody saying, “If you click on this link after December 28, 2006, you will be able to promote Beachbody in a big way” and I clicked on that link on January 8, 2007.

Team Beachbody – How did following the Game Plan’s philosophies help you achieve this title of Top Coach? Site specific activities which you did to help you achieve this title.
Rich Dafter – I actually became a top coach before we had a Game Plan. What I did was to promote Million Dollar Body and then Team Beachbody in every way that I could on my www.howtobefit.com website and two blogs. I am brand loyal and promote nothing else except Team Beachbody and I am very passionate about what Team Beachbody can do for people and how it can change their lives. I now use Twitter and Facebook extensively to promote Team Beachbody in addition to my website and blogs. The real key to success, though, is to unceasingly support your Team Beachbody members and constantly promote your own dedicated team of Team Beachbody coaches.

Team Beachbody – What’s has been your most memorable experience as a Team Beachbody Coach?
Rich Dafter – Getting a call from Chris Simonian, then president of the company, when I first started as a coach. Emailing Carl Daikeler, CEO of Team Beachbody with an idea and having him email back and the idea eventually being adopted. Being friends with Carl and everyone else in Team Beachbody on Facebook and Twitter. Being so close to Traci Morrow as a friend. Probably the most memorable, though, is getting a call from Michael Neimand telling me that I won top coach while I was sitting in a dentist’s chair waiting to have a root canal done.

Team Beachbody – If you were to give one tip to a new Coach to have a successful business, what would it be?
Rich Dafter – Be a product of the product and be passionate, have patience and persevere no matter what.

Team Beachbody - Describe how your health has improved since using Beachbody products.
Rich Dafter – I actually wrote a blog today that sums it up – http://www.focused-on-fitness.com/coach-blog/?p=970

Team Beachbody – How has the title of Top Coach improved your business?
Rich Dafter – It is always good when you have unwavering faith in something to be rewarded for your passion and persistence.

Team Beachbody – What was your WHY when you got started with the Team Beachbody business?
Rich Dafter – I wanted to be a coach and be able to offer the Team Beachbody Club membership and my coaching to all of my Polar heart rate monitor customers. They bought a fitness tool, but this would give them the support and guidance they needed to achieve their health and fitness goals.

Team Beachbody – What have you been able to do or afford since becoming a Team Beachbody Coach? Has your WHY been realized?
Rich Dafter – The opportunity to be an independent Polar authorized dealer (without a store) became extremely difficult because of management decisions at Polar and that opportunity ended about 2 ½ years ago. I was exceptionally fortunate to have the Team Beachbody business because it allowed me to continue to be a full time work at home Dad and to be with my two young daughters, Grace, 5 and Carly, 3, all day every day. That is the absolute best thing of all about being a Team Beachbody Coach.

Well, everyone, one year ago today, there were 18 vitamin and supplement bottles lined up on my kitchen counter and I took all of them every day.  That was thanks to a car accident that left me chronically ill for over 20 years and then finding someone who could suggest the right combination of vitamins and supplements to at least keep me healthy and active for the last 5 years.

A year ago, of the 18 bottles on the shelf, 8 were Team Beachbody nutritional products and they had replaced other health food store products that I had been using.  I actually had each one analyzed so that before I switched to Team Beachbody products, I knew that I would be getting the same or better quality.  The results of the analysis were “excellent” for every one and switching to them meant that I felt the same or even better.

Then along came Shakeology in March of last year and I of course got it and started drinking it – and got it analyzed.  Before starting to drink it, I even had blood work done for baseline information.  When you have been chronically ill for 20 years and you start feeling okay, believe me, you don’t do anything to screw it up.

Now, one year later, my blood work remains excellent and what was once a space for 18 bottles, now only has 4.  They are:  Betaine to help digest protein, lutein for my computer screen weary (and 59 year old) eyes and saw palmetto for prostate health.  The fourth is the Team Beachbody Performance Formula and I take 1 every morning with a big glass of water before I work out.

And, of course, a big bag of Shakeology.   Shakeology wins 18 – 4 and I am a big winner, too!

Let me start by thanking all of my Team Beachbody members and telling you how much I appreciate the opportunity that you have given me to help you achieve your health and fitness goals.  But it is precisely that opportunity which is my biggest regret as a Team Beachbody coach.  I wish with all my heart that I could connect with each and every one of you on a regular basis, but I simply can’t.  Yes, I answer emails from you almost immediately and the occasional phone call, but what I would like to be able to do is check all of your profiles to see your progress and challenges, successes and failures and connect with you in social media and work out with you in WOWY.  Wouldn’t that be awesome!

But the reality is that I have almost 900 new members this year and approaching 9,000 members in the last 3 years.  I’ve seen and read in your profiles heartwarming stories and heartbreaking stories and everything in between and it makes me want to reach out to you in an ongoing basis and get to know you better.  Even if I worked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, though, I probably wouldn’t be able to do that.

That is why having a dedicated team of Beachbody coaches has become so essential to your success.  You can find a coach among the 20 or so active coaches on the team, switch to them as your coach and get not only the more personalized support that they can offer, but also all of the information and advice that I provide.  With social media and blogs, you and I may not be able to connect in the traditional sense, but we can get to know each other through our posts and tweets.  In that sense, we are always connected and I feel a whole lot better about you getting the most out of your Team Beachbody membership.

I know that exclamation is welcome news to some, but to some of my friends it may make them wish they had a little more time.

Before you know it the “unofficial start of summer” will be upon us.  There are a few reason why I like working out and getting ready for the spring and summer.  My first reason isn’t what you might consider obvious.  I want to make sure my body is strong and healthy for my kids.  I want to be able to play, swim, run, wrestle and just be goofy with my kids.  I don’t want to worry if I’ll have enough energy, or if my body won’t be able to take some horse-play.  I want to be strong enough to pick up my 10 and 9 year old sons and throw them in the pool.

Now I know that looking good is also important to a lot of people.  But I want you to consider the less obvious reasons why its important to exercise all year long.  Sometimes those less obvious reasons are more important the the obvious ones.

I’ll keep this post brief.  If you spent the entire winter hibernating, its not too late to stick to your resolutions and get busy with some healthy activities.  There are a lot of things you can start now and notice new strength, lost inches and better cardiovascular function in just a few weeks.

And of course I am available to coach you online for FREE through http://teambeachbody.com/fitwithjessica.

Think about what is important to you and why good health and a strong, flexible body can make that more enjoyable.

Have a great day!

Yesterday, I sent out an newsletter to almost 10,000 subscribers and had the most unsubscribes and complaints of any newsletter that I have ever sent out. The title of the blog was, “When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going”. Honestly, I can’t imagine what turned people off. My only thought was that it was either mentioning that we had a health care crisis or that people should put their physical houses in order.

The newsletter is pasted in its entirety below and if you know what got people fired up, then send me an email at howtobefit@aol.com, otherwise, I will remain, “Puzzled in Albuquerque”!

I saw, “When the going gets tough the tough get going” printed on the tag of a Tetley Tea bag when I was a child and I have always remembered the phrase.

I grew up hearing about the hardships my parents faced having both gone through the Great Depression as children and World War II in England as adults. In fact, they came here in 1949 with the allowed amount of luggage and the allowed amount of money and started life here with a young son and an unborn child. They knew what it was like when the going got tough and they were tough enough to get going in response.

I’ve never experienced the true hardships that our parents and grandparents faced and most of us haven’t. But the Great Recession, although it paled in comparison in terms of struggles, should have taught us a number of lessons and reminded us of what our parents and grandparents told us when we were growing up.

What prompted me to send out a newsletter about the struggles that we all face was seeing a moving and beautiful video entitled, “The Essence of Leadership“. What do leadership and struggles have in common? I believe that if we all became stronger as individuals and leaders instead of followers, perhaps the crisis that we faced could have been averted. Oswald Sanders said, “The world is run by tired people” and that is primarily because so few have to do so much.

I believe that it is time that we all stepped up and did the things that we grew up hearing. From, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going” to “Many hands make light work” to “Where there’s a will, there’s a way “and all of the others that we’ve heard so often, and start pitching in to solve the problems that need to be solved.

After my family, my world revolves completely around helping you achieve and maintain the health and fitness that you deserve. We do have a crisis in health, health care and health care costs and taking charge of your own health and wellness would have a huge impact on lessening the impact in dollar terms of the crisis. That in turn would have a far reaching impact on the health of our economy and our nation’s and our own personal security.

I know what has worked for me over the last few years as a Team Beachbody member and coach. Whether it is right for you, I don’t know. What I do know is that today is the day to start changing your life if you haven’t already, putting your physical house in order and that you, too, can be a leader that instead of being part of the problem is part of the solution. If you are already a Team Beachbody member, let’s get going together with the help of my team of great coaches. If not, join us and together we will change our world.

A couple of nights ago, a tweet popped up on Twitter from Carl Daikeler, CEO of Team Beachbody, that said, “Andrea Horton makes over $400k a wk part time!” My first thought was, “Carl, you need to correct that” and my second thought was “must be Tony Horton’s (creater of P90X) sister”.  Carl corrected his typo a couple of tweets later and I didn’t give it another thought, except that a Team Beachbody Coach working part time was making $400.00 a week.

This morning, though, I saw a new Top Coach video and it is none other than Andrea Horton.  From the video, this is what I know:

Andrea is probably not Tony’s sister
She is not a founding Team Beachbody coach
She has a full time job and says that she works a “few hours” a week as a coach
She became a Team Beachbody Top Coach for Fall 2009 in 9 months

If you want some Fired Up Friday inspiration, click on the image and watch her Top Coach video and see how she ended up with an all expense paid trip to Hawaii!

So many people tend to look at stretching with dread.  But as Tony Horton says in his P90X Yoga X disc, he does the things he can do at his age, not because of pull-ups but because of yoga.  He knows that gaining flexibility is an important key to good health.  My friend Mary Hope from The Yoga Generation was kind enough to write an article for my blog.  In it she explains the joy of stretching and benefits that it can bring to your life.  Yoga is a great way to get your body flexible and to also relax.  But you can also get energy and burn calories while doing yoga.

BeachBody makes an awesome workout called Yoga Booty Ballet.  Yoga Booty Ballet is a whole series of DVDs that are geared to making over your body or just relaxing.  And even P90X includes a powerful yoga workout.

Thanks!

I don’t have the 60 or 90 day results from Power 90 yet to show on the outside, but the way Shakeology has made me feel on the inside has really made me a believer in it.  Here’s a video that explains how Shakeology “works on the inside”

You may not like to think about it, but digestion, intestinal health and regularity are all linked to your overall health and immune system.  Eliminating toxins is an important part of being healthy and Shakeology aids in that healthy process.  Click here to learn more about Shakeology and how you can try it for 30 days with a full money back guarantee.
