The Force Is with You

By Dallas Carter

I believe the wise words of Yoda correctly sum up what Beachbody® has taught me over the last few years about health, fitness, and finance: "Do, or do not. There is no 'try.'" The wisdom of this 900-year-old Jedi master speaks to the heart of the Beachbody motto: Decide. Commit. Succeed.® It is with this mindset that I began my health journey more than three years ago, and it is with the same attitude that I approach coaching.

It's still surreal when I think of that night in March when I took home the Million Dollar Body Game® Grand Prize. It was a moment that transformed my direction in life. Not only had I been given the blessing of my health, but I also committed, at that moment, to helping others achieve their health goals! Being a Beachbody Coach has provided me with the honor of being able to doing that.

Together with a fellow Beachbody Coach, I began a weekly workout group, which we lovingly call the "Insane Asylum," to help people in the local community make a commitment to seizing control of their health and getting fit. Over the last several months, our group as grown substantially, and with the help of my upline, the local media, and the local Beachbody community, I have been able to expand my coaching business by hosting fitness challenges and fit clubs throughout the island. With the establishment of these fit clubs, I have been able to achieve Diamond ranking, and our Hawaiian Beachbody community continues to grow exponentially!

The members of our community continually challenge one another to achieve new goals—whether it's a challenge to see who can do more push-ups or a Coach race to see who can reach the next rank advancement! The accountability, support, and fellowship that these challenge groups and fit clubs provide allow for strong growth both in health and in our individual businesses. And the best part is most of those who join us to grab control of their health naturally start to want to help others do the same. Beachbody has allowed us to create an environment where personal health and financial rewards go hand in hand!

I will be forever grateful to Beachbody, not only for my health and the MDB Game™ Grand Prize, but for the opportunity to make the Beachbody lifestyle something I can live and share with others! I will continue to strive for the next summit and to help others reach theirs. Now I'm off to the "Insane Asylum," to work out with my fit club and to watch the newest members strive to be the next MDB Game Grand Prize winners!
