When we began paying commissions on sales of Beachbody products to our customers, with an incentive for them to bring in additional reps to spread the word, the only customer complaints pertained to the seedy reputation of other multi-level marketers as a "pyramid scheme".

That reputation is largely due to the millions of families who are still stuck with inventory of soap, pills, and water filters from business ventures of the past, and the pressure to effectively become the sales manager to your own friends and family members.

After just six months of operation, I can proudly say, we are none of any of that. We are promoters of health and fitness. And for the people who get in and get active with Team Beachbody, the opportunity is anything but "traditional" network marketing, but with every bit of potential for financial reward.

Actually, I think I've probably offended more network marketers than we've signed up because of my convictions. (I sometimes speak my mind a little too freely. Ask me about the "Pyruvate Incident" sometime.) The reason we may not be immediately attractive to network marketing heavyweights is our commitment to making this home based business opportunity about getting people healthy and active - FOR REAL! That in itself is a multi-billion dollar opportunity if we stay focused on the real goal. The fact that I won't pitch the money potential first and the health benefits second makes me look foolish to those who have made their big bucks hawking business opportunities.

The fact that we don't require people to invest thousands of dollars in inventory looks counter-intuitive to the folks who are used just to selling "the next hot breakthrough". But imagine how many millions of people who need a friend to lend them a hand in getting more active would appreciate something that could also earn them an extra income! THAT'S OPPORTUNITY with REAL substance!

Beachbody Nutritional Supplements are one of the consumable products that fuel the ongoing residual income of your business.

This is one of the secrets behind the thousands of Beachbody success stories and the many highly successful Team Beachbody home business owners. It's all about developing new habits.

New fitness habits, new eating habits, new business habits. This is were you build momentum and then there is no stopping.

Success in your body transformation and success in your business feed each other.

Most people are comfortable making a 90 day commitment. It's more believable so their minds believe they can stick with it. And what the mind believes it can achieve. As people make a commitment to a 90 day programs like P90X or Power 90 or even a six week program like Slim in 6, they are able to make the same commitment to a healthier diet.

And in their enthusiasm to stand by their commitment, they will make the same commitment to supplementing their diets with Beachbody Nutritionals. Once they start to feel better and experience the benefits of supplementation they are once again establishing a new habit. And that new habit is the life blood of your business as a coach.
