"Shani, what is this Challenge Group you speak of?"

Before I dive to deep into what is a Challenge Group? I'd like to share a little about my story and how I became a Beach Body Coach. It all started in the summer of '71...HAHA I kid! ;)

Really...I am an infomercial junkie! I LOVE them! I don't know why, I just do. I learned later in life that my Grandmother loved them too. I have made a few purchases over the years. Seriously, it's like an addiction. A couple of those purchases are part of this story: P90X and Hip Hop Abs. I don't even remember when I bought them. I just know I've had them so long they had a THICK layer of dust on the covers.

I am also a multi-level marketing junkie! I don't know what it is but I love them. I have tried a number of them! You name it: Tupperware, Premier Jewelry, Creative Memories, Miche, and yes, the dreaded Amway/QuickStar.

During August I was looking for a new shake. As someone who fights MS I wanted something to get much needed nutrition without having to juice. I hate having to clean the mess that comes with juicing! I also know that if I have to doctor the shake of the week just so it is palatable there is NO WAY I'm going to be consistent.

Over the past 9 months or so I had been watching a young woman I have known for a VERY LONG time. She had become a Beach Body Coach and I was intrigued!

I started to inquire about her challenge groups, Shakeology was a requirement. Like most folks we have been pinching pennies here at Prine Manor and spending the money on Shakeology just didn't seem like something I could do at the time. Something in me kept drawing me back to Beach Body. It could have been my obsession with MLMs or I prefer to think it was G-d. He just had a better plan. Finally I decided to try the the Sampler pack. It couldn't hurt. I could find what I liked, test them all, and if they weren't a winner it was no real loss.

I shared my adventure on FB. The shakes were kid tested and mom approved! That is how my Shakeology habit began! Oh, wait that wasn't the question was it? ;)

My Coach is pretty awesome. She invited me to a no pressure week long, virtual look, into Beach Body as a business. I of course was HOOKED 2 minutes in. My husband (the more practical of the two of us) took a little longer. In the end it came down to coach discount. Really, how could I say no to the CHEAPEST start up fee I have EVER seen AND they were going to give me a discount on my Shakeology (and other products too) on top of that! It wasn't long though and I wanted to do EVERYTHING and in moments where I think I have lost my mind something awesome always happens. The very first thing was a random Shakeology sampler purchase. I made a commission of $6.73. You would have thought I'd made a $1,000! I was encouraged enough to keep going. I made my goals for September and I'm no longer a coach in for the discount I WANT to build my business! I WANT to help people succeed at their goals! How do I do that? I talk with you about your goals, I offer business opportunity, and I offer challenge groups. Ah, FINALLY What is a Challenge Group!?!

Challenge Groups are an opportunity for you to join in with a like minded community to have support and encouragement as you conquer the challenge! (examples: P90, 21 Day fix, PiYo) I want to be your coach! I want to help keep your copies of great work outs from gathering dust like mine did. Christmas is coming and New Years too! These are perfect times to search for gifts and gear up for resolutions. I will have NEW challenge groups starting soon! Let me know how I can help YOU!
