Becoming a Diamond!

Hey Rockstars!


So many of you wonder why I push you to become a Diamond.  What's the difference?  Emerald is good--you get customers from the company and bonuses.  How could Diamond be so much better? Let me tell you...IT IS!  And here's why:
Melissa [my upline 4 Star Diamond] and I were talking about the upcoming Success Club Leadership Conference, which led me to blather on about how much my life (not just my business) has changed since becoming a Diamond.  She asked me to share with all of you what I shared with her.  So here's the deal. 

As an Emerald, I was making my investment back every month.  (I was earning enough to cover my personal use of Shakeology, and any business expenses I incurred).  That's awesome...but will it keep you in the business?  Maybe...if you really love Shakeology, sure it will.   But I know we all want more...at least I did.  So the day I became Emerald, I committed to 90 Days to Diamond.  I followed the Game Plan.  I invested time, I got in on the calls, I checked in with my accountability partner.  I followed up with customers from the company.  I got my daily exposures.  I kept a TO DO LIST, as well as a list of names and dates--who I contacted and when.  90 days later, violia, DIAMOND!  Did I see profit during that building process?  Yes, but it was slow.  And some weeks were painful.  Did I deal with nay-sayers and the like?  Sure!  But I kept plugging along.  The FIRST WEEK of being Diamond, my paycheck tripled.  TRIPLED.  I didn't do ANYTHING different that week...but my paycheck sure did.  The next week, it doubled from the previous week.  The third week, it grew by half again.  YOWSERS!  But I wasn't doing anything different than I was when I was working for Diamond...so what was the difference???  Lots of things! 
 1) I ooooooozed Beachbody confidence.  I made it to the next level baby--try and stop me!  :)  I have an incredible team underneath me that has trusted me, taken a leap of faith with me...and now their leader is moving up...you think that's motivating to them???  Do you think maybe they all of the sudden 'get it' and now want it too?  When I hit Diamond, my personally sponsored coaches TOOK OFF and they are working like crazy to pass me now.  That's one huge part of it. 
 2) Via social media, 'people' know I'm a coach.  Now they know I'm a 'successful' coach.  It got their attention!  All of these people that heard me yappin' away about Beachbody when I was working to get to Diamond came out of the woodwork to be my customers and coaches once I 'made it'.  All of the sudden I became more credible and they felt safe enough to trust me and ask and purchase when and what they wouldn't before. 
 3) Of course my cycle bonuses are bigger.  That's a no-brainer. 
 4) Everyone is motivated by money to a certain degree.  My new paychecks are extremely rewarding and incredible incentive.  It's a new game I play to see how much more my check is going to be each week than the week before!  Sound selfish?  Uh-uh.  Cuz you know you want to make money too.  For something.  For someone.  Remember your 'why'? 
 5) With more customers and more coaches, I see more and more lives change and more and more success stories.  I see the REAL reason why we all BELIEVE in Beachbody with all our heart.  Every day I am touched by the stories I hear and the lives I have helped change for the better.  Even better than that paycheck...we change lives...EVERY day.  And some other cool perks?  Got a personal phone call from Craig Holiday.  Got a personal phone call from Larry Zimberg.  Got invited to the Success Club Leadership Conference where I get to hang with and learn from the TOP people in this company, and even better, I get to bring that knowledge back to MY team, who can pass it on to THEIR team...which is only going to improve our business.  It's incredible.  And I would do it over again a million times.  Push through the 'no's, push through the negativity, tell the little voice in your head to go to a permanent time-out...cuz you got work to do.  Diamond is where it's at.  Don't stop til you get there.  It is SO worth it.
That's really all I got for ya on "being" a Diamond...are the wheels turning yet?  :D
