The story of how I built a multiple six-figure health and fitness business from my $14.99 goodwill desk!
GOSH, we have been having so many surreal moments during this move!!!!! For those of you who follow me you KNOW, I built the business you see now from scratch, from home. IN THE BEGINNING, we were broke, like the kind of broke LIKE single income military family and 200k in defaulted debt broke. And I WANTED, no, NEEDED something to sink my teeth into, to make my own, with the kind of potential to not only make me happy but provide a way OUT for my family.
When I first started my business it was “IN THE CRACKS ” of life — I had THREE OTHER JOBS and girlfriend was hustling!! Haha! Up at 3 am and home at 11 pm. And I thought my life CAN’T BE LIKE THIS… There HAS GOT to be a better way.
So I worked at Beachbody coaching, SLOWLY but surely working on my BODY, MIND and learning the business in every extra second I got – FROM MY KITCHEN TABLE! No room for an office, and trust me, it took hard work and dedication!!!! As anything that gives you GREAT reward does!!!!
Then it came time for me to take some more responsibility and get serious about my business but we were still in phase 1 of building it. SO, the desk you are looking at in this picture I got for $14.99 at the thrift store!!!! We only had one tiny two-door car at the time (we drove cross country when we moved!) so a kind citizen drove it home for us!!!
Since then, Andrew Engle and I have built the team and business of our dreams. So many people think we had BIG BEGINNINGS or you have to have fancy things, knowledge, a leg up or SECRETS to be successful…. COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG but it is often what I see stopping people before they even try!!!
So today, it is only fair that we donate this “dream maker” back to that very same Goodwill store so that it can bring someone else the courage to follow their dreams, the ability to make sacrifices for their dreams, and the tenacity to keep going no matter what.
THIS IS the American Dream, being given an opportunity, NOT BEING HANDED ANYTHING, not starting ahead of anyone but having a dream and doing anything to get it! This opportunity has changed our lives in more way that I can count – now we pay it forward!!!!!
Because if anybody tells you it’s given to you ……. It’s so untrue! –Beachbody does not guarantee any level of success or income from the Team Beachbody Coach Opportunity.
