Throwback Thursday: Cheating

CHEATING, INTEGRITY, AND ETHICS

I have always done what I think works for me, and this is no exception……

I want to try something new.  I want to experiment.

I have decided to become a cheater.

RELAX!!!

I have just decided to try another program.

Now you know you knew better than that.

Since I am a person of integrity, I feel that it is unethical to promote one program and falsely attribute any successful results to it while secretly using (and achieving results) with another. Soโ€ฆ.. I am putting it out there!

You know that I love being a Team Beachbody Coach. I LOVE to promote healthier living and overall well-being in any/every way possible, even though Coaching is not a full-time career for me today. I also enjoy just being a member of Beachbody. I love the community support and accountability, the workout programs, and Shakeology specifically has helped me to improve my familyโ€™s health (and lives!) through better nutrition.

This decision is IN NO WAY a negative reflection on Beachbody! I am still a huge fan of the workout programs and many of the products. There will probably never come a day when Shakeology is not in my house, and a major part of our regular diet. I may decide to remain a Team Beachbody Coach indefinitely!

If you decide that you need help with Beachbody, then I will of course happily refer one of my friends or associates for you. I also have friends and family involved in other programs, so I can point the way with a referral in those cases, too.

As always, my relationships are still more important than commission checks.

I AM AN ENCOURAGER. I WANT YOU TO DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU.

We all know that there are many different kinds of programs/products out there, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. One is better for rapid weight loss, while another is better for strength training and still another is for increased energy and mental focus. The success of one relies on dedication to exercise, while another relies on portion control and supplements, and still another relies on pre-packaged meals. What works for one person may not work for another. A personโ€™s needs and motivations will change, and one coach can develop a different kind of relationship than another can.

I encourage YOU to BE AN ENCOURAGER, TOO!

When someone is improving themselves and doing it safely โ€“ DONโ€™T SHAME THEIR METHOD. Donโ€™t bash other programs, donโ€™t shame other coaches/consultants, and donโ€™t bash someone for finding what works for them.

I hope you are finding what works for you!

…..but if you’re NOT – what are you waiting for?!?

UPDATE: I DO still have Shakeology in my house! 02/20/2020
