Apple on a stack of books

When you become a part of Team Beachbody by becoming a Team Beachbody Coach then you will quickly become familiarized with the Game Plan. The Game Plan is a blueprint that coaches can and should follow in order to help grow their business. One of the fundamentals of the Game Plan is personal development:

Read 10 pages a day of a good personal development book, and listen to 15 minutes of a good audio.

When I participate in our weekly webinars and conference calls, many coaches recommend personal development books that they have read. I have been adding them to my Amazon wish list so that I can eventually purchase and read them. Personal development books are some of my favorite to read so when someone recommends one, I take note.

Below is a list of books that have been recommended by various TBB Coaches:

Failing Forward: Turning Mistakes into Stepping Stones for Success

The Slight Edge: Secret to a Successful Life

Personality Plus: How to Understand Others by Understanding Yourself

Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion

These are more marketing/business oriented books but still highly recommended:

Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die

If My Product’s So Great How Come I Can’t Sell It

The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It (I’ve read this one – very good.)

Two I personally recommend:

Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money-That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not!

Cashflow Quadrant: Rich Dad’s Guide to Financial Freedom

Are there any personal development books you recommend? Please leave in the comments. :)

shakeology

When people find out about Shakeology® it is not uncommon to ask around or search around for whether it is worth buying. Ask any Team Beachbody Coach (including myself) and chances are you will get a resounding “Yes!” However, my goal with this article is to really break down why it is worth it and not simply for reasons like “I like it and so should you!” :)

What Do You Want to Use it For?

First off, I’d like for you to consider how much you value your good health. A whole lot right? Plenty of people feel the same way, I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t. This is why it isn’t uncommon for some folks to spend hundreds per month on protein shakes or other nutritional supplements without giving it a second thought. They use the products to help maintain good health.

They have a reason for using certain products and the same consideration should be taken with Shakeology. Here are some options you may consider as to how Shakeology may help you:

  • Lose weight
  • Stop cravings
  • Healthy snack
  • Meal replacement shake
  • Daily multivitamin
  • Dessert alternative
  • Post workout shake
  • Coffee replacement
  • Improve digestion
  • Boost energy

The Ingredients Make it Worth the Price

When I attended the 2010 Beachbody Coach Summit, I was able to attend the Shakeology session in which the creators of the product explained the love and care that was put into the product. The ingredients were not just thrown together from whatever other products use. This shake is made from whole food ingredients and exotic superfoods from around the world.

Consider just some of the ingredients and benefits:

  • Camu-camu – 60 times more vitamin C than an orange
  • Yacon root – Richest natural source of FOS, a powerful prebiotic for digestive health
  • Sacha Inchi – Highest concentration of omega 3 than any food on the planet
  • Maca root – Boosts energy, strength and libido
  • Adaptogen herbs – Helps the body cope with the negative effects of stress
  • Acts like a multi-vitamin
  • Certified low glycemic
  • Gluten-free, caffeine free, no artificial colors or sweeteners
  • Rigorous quality control

If price is really the issue for you, then let’s break that down too:

1. A 30-day supply averages out to about $3 – $4 a shake. I know people who spend that much per day on coffee — seriously. At least with Shakeology you are investing in your health!

2. You can save money in three ways:

  • Order on autoship and get it delivered to you each month with free shipping.
  • Become a Team Beachbody Coach like me and get 25% off
  • Join the Team Beachbody Club as a paid member and get 10% off.

Ask yourself how you want to use the product and what your goals are. If anything, you can try it for 30-days and experience the benefits for yourself.

As for my personal use, I drink it daily and use it as my daily multivitamin. I hope this article has helped you to make a more informed decision. Finally, when you do try it, get in touch with me and let me know what you think.

Delivery Man with Stack of Packages

One of the most popular ways to save money when purchasing Shakeology® is to order it on autoship. Shakeology autoship simply means that you will have the product delivered to you each month like clockwork. Two benefits of this convenient feature include free shipping and never having to worry about running short on your supply. You may wonder, why would anyone use autoship?

Well, it is actually a great service for people who drink the shake on a daily basis. Many health conscious people spend hundreds on protein shakes and other nutritional supplements each month. Depending on what they are using, they probably have to make special trips to purchase them or buy them in bulk just to prevent having to pick them up. Purchasing online is probably not a good option because of shipping fees.

If you are a Shakeology user, autoship may be a better solution for you because you get the free shipping and don’t have to worry about remembering to place another order.

Extra money saving tip: You may already be familiar with the Team Beachbody Coaching opportunity. By becoming a coach, you can save 25% off of Shakeology on every order.

Autoship + TBB Coach = Free shipping and 25% savings.

If you prefer this option just click here and I’ll be in touch with you after sign-up.

Otherwise when you order Shakeology, select your flavor and then “autoship” to get started.
