Are you Happy In Your Job? Who Is?

If you asked any stranger on the street if they enjoy the work they do, the answer is most likely going to be a resounding HELL NO!  GO ahead, do a Google search on "I hate my job", and see how many returns you get.  Songs, blogs, images... they all come back proving that most of us hate what we do.  So why do we stay there?

We stay in our life sucking jobs for three reasons.  More may be in your head, but these are the three that ring true in everyone who says they hate their job.

1.  It is easier to stay than to leave and seek new employment
2.  Fear of losing something affiliated with the current job (ie: security, 401k, familiarity)
3.  Feeling inferior to the majority of the workforce, and therefore afraid to apply for the job you truly want.

There are a billion reasons why a person should not quit their job and apply for new work.  The economy, the unemployment rate, taxes, job security and the list goes on and on.  And imagine what life was like 10 years ago (hello 9/11).  People were afraid of change then as well... how about 20 years ago (The Gulf War)?  We will constantly try to find reasons to stay away from change.

For the select few who believe that there is something better out there for them, and they make the leap of faith... you will be met with many nay-sayers.  You will hear from people that you should not even bother applying for this job or that job because ______________(insert lame excuse here).  If you hate your job, you are wasting your life there.  You are wasting your energy on something that means nothing to you.  At the end of your life you will look back and see that you spent more time working in a place you dreaded, than living a life that could have been more fulfilling.

You will hear some people say that you need to be happy with what you have.  WHY?  If you have the ability to be better, then why not try?  You will have those who are so afraid of change in their own life that they will attempt to hold you back. Do NOT let them!

I want to know... in the comments below. Tell me about any friction you've met with when attempting a large life change?

The Power of Positive Thinking: A trip thru Summit

Coach Summit 2013... The Place to DREAM BIG in June, and I was there.

     All of 2012 I was hearing about this thing called Summit, and how important it was for all Beachbody Coaches to attend.  "What the hell is Summit?", you ask. And I reply,

The most inspirational, motivational, amazingly AWESOME time of my life!  For starters, it was in Las Vegas at the MGM. There were 7000 other coaches just like me in one place. We were all networking, talking, comparing ideas, and notes, learning, and encouraging one another in this difficult business of motivating people to get fit and healthy.  Rubbing elbows with the CEO and other executives of the same company that brings INSANITY, P90X and Shakeology to the homes of MILLIONS of people.  Meeting celebrity trainers, dancing all night, and making friendships that will last a lifetime.

There are times when the weight of the No's and the sting of the insults from skeptics and cynics take their toll.  And in those moments you really need to be able to pull some happiness and "Go GET EM" strength from your bag of tricks.  And this was the place that helped me recharge those batteries!

You know that feeling in a concert hall or stadium when your favorite band steps out onto the stage, and they play those first few notes of your FAVORITE song, and the entire place erupts into a mass of white noise screaming chaos?  That charge?  That amazing uplift of adrenaline and pure happiness?  THAT is what Summit is to a Beachbody Coach.

It is near impossible to explain the feeling of solidarity, and the sense that anything is possible.  Unless you were there you cannot understand it completely.  So, GET THERE!  Next year 2014, MGM Coach Summit!

Upon return from Summit, I hit Success Club 5 in 1 week.  You learn a lot, you understand where you need to be focusing your time, and you truly believe you can achieve anything... because YOU CAN!  It invades your mind, overwhelming it with potential, and positive thinking, and you truly understand what it means to DREAM BIG.

Over the course of the next few weeks, I'm going to blog about the various events from Summit that helped me realize exactly where I want to be by next year, and how to get there... and all the fun that went along with it.  If you have ever considered doing something that can change the course of some one's life, or to leave you mark on this world in a positive light... then you need to check out coaching.  If you want to know more, or get involved or Join my Team... contact me ASAP:
