Being a coach is so more than what it seems. You don't have to be in the best shape of your life, you don't have to know everything, all you have to do is try and to put your best food forward and want to help people. I decided to be a coach in October. My coach had asked me and I didn't believe I was coach material at all. I mean look at me. I am no where near my goal, I have a lot of work to do to get there, I am not perfect at all. What made me perfect was I was sharing my results and encouraging people that they could do whatever they put their mind to. I was showing others that it is possible to get to your goals and it is possible to lose 100+ lbs. It is possible to help others see that they are worth their effort and their needs and wants are important.
I started my weight loss journey long ago. My biggest issue is food. I have a problem twith overeating and with eating healthy. Everything that is not good for you I am known for loving. Being a coach helps keep me on track, knowing others are looking up to me and wanting me for guidance keeps me pushing forward. When my coach told me I was perfect for being a coach and should try it out, I was extremely hesitant. Hell I was nervous. How am I supposed to help others without even knowing how to help myself. My coach told me to just sign up and the rest would take care of itself. I was showing my photos, I was encouraging others and really that is all it takes to be a coach. All you have to do is want to help others!
I have always helped others. I work in healthcare and I am one of the few who actually enjoys my job and doesn't complain or hate it. I love my job, I love helping others. Coaching isn't about who has the most, or who can do this or do that. Coaching is about who I can help, and who I can influence to make the changes they actually want in their lives. Do you like and want to help others? If so coaching is for you! In no way do you need to perfect. All you need to do is try.
One common misconception is that coaching is a get rich scheme. That is a lie. A BIG LIE. Can you make a living off of it, sure you can but it takes time. It does not happen overnight and it isn't an automatic guarantee.I have been doing FREE coaching since October. I did not sell anything at all. I hosted free monthly challenge groups and helped people get up and get moving. I have helped a lot of people and that is what is important to me. In order to make money in this business you have to prove to others that you want to help them, that you believe in the products, and that you are always going to be there. People need to know that you will be there for them and that you won't give up on them. I will never give up on anyone.
Coaching is very beneficial to the coach also. Why? To me it brings me joy knowing I am helping someone. To hear their stories of success and know when they say thank you for helping them, that gives me a sense of personal accomplishment. Another reason coaching is beneficial to the coach is because they are a support system. they may not know it but they are. Being a coach you get to talk about your personal difficulties and accomplishments, which in turn, helps others. It is a win-win situation.
