Our Approach and Focus in 2012
As we closed out 2011 and moved into 2012, Kevin and I spent careful time getting back to the basics of what we know to be true. With a collective career that spans more than 40 years in network marketing, we knew it was time to focus on activities that our team can learn and duplicate which build strength, not just numbers. It’s a hard shift because often times what everyone focuses on is numbers. It’s easy to do because they sound impressive. However, building something big doesn’t always mean it’s strong. Building it strong means your income and your growth are reliable and consistent.
What we know for sure is there are two core principles that build strength:
- Meet people where they are: If someone tells you their greatest pain point is their weight or fitness, then we offer them the Beachbody fitness solution; If they tell us they want more time, freedom and/or money to enjoy their life, then we invite them to read “The 45”. In either case, as they progress they experience both aspects of our offering, the opportunity to change their body, and own their life…but we always meet them where they are based on their need first.
- Teach people to teach: If you wonder why coaches come on board and go inactive, chances are they don’t know what to do. You may get them through their GSR, you may know their why, and you may even help them sponsor a few people…but you need to take it one step further and go to work teaching them how to teach their people those steps. Until your PS coaches become great teachers, and you see their PS coaches sponsoring…you’re not done. You are still in phase one with them.
We will cover these two principles in our Team calls and in our next two TeamTalk articles.

They also observed that the more subjects snacked, the more likely they were to eat both healthy snacks and meals. The downfall of 'snackers' is that they weren't eating enough vegetables, and that their diets still had room for improvement. So snacking is good as long as you are choosing healthy snacks partnered with health meals. Sorry, Doritos and taquitos do not constitute healthy habits.
