Fear of Coaching.

coaching Jan 19, 2020

I'm having some amazing women coming to to me, hopping on phone calls and discussing their needs for physical health, emotional health, an outlet from motherhood, money for their family, theyare ready to sign up and be a part of our amazing Team Beachbody Team, Be Well Tribe, and then fear hits.

Fear that you won't "find enough people to help"
Fear that you don't know enough yet about the products we offer so you can't obviously "sell them"
Fear what your spouse & friends will think

Trust me girl, I had all those fears (and more), and I've found that none of them really mattered. I know WAY easier to say than to believe...but hear me out, what mattered was this...

I wanted a job that I liked.
I wanted flexibility.
I wanted to feel appreciated for my work.
I wanted to work on my own personal growth
I did not want to dread time away from my kids for work that I did not enjoy.

I had goals - big goals!

Retire Neal from corporate America (done - yes he'll be going back for a short time, but that's a story for another day!)
Not have to work a job for an income, but bc I LOVE it - done
Vacation with Neal in Fiji (planning it for a Tony Robbins event!)
Bring our parents on Vacation (done, AND brought Neal's sister)
Be more charitable (tears as I can say we are FINALLY tithing more and it FEELS RIGHT!!!!)

What did I need to focus on to get those goals. Myself. I had to grow myself. And in that I am working on striving to master the roles of best friend to Neal, mom to my girls, wellness coach to our community & business coach to my partners (team), joint home-keeper & caregiver to our fur babies (k I kinda suck at the home care, so I now have hire housekeeper on the goals ;) ) but you get it, right? I DREAM and I ENVISION and I TAKE ACTION - there is nothing, absolutely nothing about this that you cannot do too!

My coach had me go through all of those papers you see in the above photos on the day I signed up and those papers you're seeing, they are my original ones, still hanging on my wall right near where my kids play area is so I see them, I read them. I believe them. I have become them. I have become them because my desires, my goals, my dreams are bigger than my fears. God doesn't put something on our hearts this big that you don't at least try!

I really believe in you, more than you likely believe in yourself.

I'll bring a piece of my story now if you're ready to listen to really share with you the growth it took. I typed this as an IG post, but it was 1 paragraph too long and I'm not ready to cut out some of the story:

I used to be SO embarrassed. I remember the first time I turned about 50 shades of red was at a best friend's wedding. Some guests who were lawyers were seated at the table with Neal and myself. I was about 11 months postpartum and they asked the very common questions, what do you do? Stumbling over my words, as a 'baby coach' only about 2 months into the business, I think I blurted something like "I'm a umm a umm a umm, I help people with fitness and nutrition, well actually I'm just a stay-at-home mom." 50 colors deeper into that red face, skin crawling, and seriously I don't think it could have felt more awkward at the table as everyone went silent. My confidence was not there, my mindset was not strong, my pride...well I had none. I actually thought my job was still a bunch of bull s**t.

Belief in what I offer has always been my biggest struggle. It wasn't until I started working with a very very happy, heartfelt, energetic woman that I started to find that belief in what we were doing as coaches was exactly what God had me (and her) here on this earth to do. Everyone in our groups could feel that belief growing and we helped 100's of women (and men) since we first started about 5 years ago to have that confidence too in themselves and beliefs in not just the products (bc our fitness & nutrition work WAY better than the 1/2 dozen other things I tried in the past) and the coaching as a business - well it's not a bunch of bull s**t. It's allowed me to treat my family to an all-inclusive vacation for the past 4 years and I've already and booked my 2021 trip with my company. It's allowed me to be both a stay-at-home mom and have a job I love. It's allowed Neal to retire from corporate America for a little bit while we make some life transitions and he's had more daily time with the girls now in the past 6 months than he may have in the past almost 6 years of Braelyn's life!

I've come a loooooong way from that unconfident girl on the left to the proud mom on the right! Neal even asked me today before the kids swim lessons where'd I get my suit....umm High School Competitive Swim lessons lololol #confidence #proudAF

Now at swim class, when the mom next me was having to stay out of the pool to study for get this full circle....her law degree...I was proud when she asked what I did for work to say "oh I'm a wellness coach and business mentor!" as I popped into the pool beyond grateful for the path I've chosen and the job that's literally brought me back to life.
