What I Learned At The Summit

What I took away from the summit sessions is that you need to have “purpose”, you need to have “goals”, you need to have a “plan” of what you want to achieve. You need to “see” or envision what you what, not just in yourself, but for your Beachbody coaching business as well. I dreamed big, or extremely.

My dream is simple – achieve all of my fitness goals, be a better coach, return to the 2010 coach summit as a diamond (or higher) coach. I remembered how the coaches have described the coaching system with Beachbody as “people helping people”. As I remembered this, I started brainstorming. Help, support, giving time, giving support, utilizing energy for workouts, eating well… everything that I’ve experienced as a Beachbody member has come to fruition at this summit. Then two words hit me – give back. I thought ‘to whom?’

Then I remembered Beachbody’s work with the American Diabetes Association, and how together they developed the program Project You: Type 2 for people with type two diabetes. That is when I made the connection. I looked at my wrist to see my Medic Alert bracelet, which is for my anti-seizure disorder (epilepsy).
Epilepsy.
What is the one event each year in Washington, DC to support people with epilepsy? The National Epilepsy Foundation’s Walk For Epilepsy on the National Mall. I knew THAT is how I could give back.

I am writing another blog about this because that is how passionate I am about it.

Then I developed a plan of action. Establish and develop a team of Beachbody coaches, and members to support this cause – fighting epilepsy, and searching for a cure. Actor Greg Grunberg is the chairman for the National Walk For Epilepsy. He has done this for three years.

I believe that one person can make a difference no matter how small or great. What matters is you DID it, and that you gave it your best shot, striving towards that goal.
