What's Beachbody About?

This email was sent to all Beachbody employees. Whether you are already a coach, a customer considering it, or a person wondering what Beachbody is about, this is it:

Good morning Beachbody!

If you are wondering what the focus of all this work is, now is a good time to look at the mission statement as we push into a major phase of growth: Help People Achieve Their Goals to Lead Healthy Fulfilling Lives.

Our rapid growth is directly related to expanding the force of those focused on our mission.

We help people in many ways, but mostly it’s:
(1) providing products and peer-support that is helping people get healthy and fit
(2) providing products that are helping people achieve/maintain healthy skin without applying ingredients with serious health consequences
(3) providing a system by which we are helping people achieve financial independence
(4) providing a structure in which we are helping our fellow “Dudes” achieve their career goals (like by giving them candid and productive feedback in the 360 evaluations)
(5) taking action and giving money to help people in need get access to clean water, plus other “Beachbody Acts Of Kindness”

Right now we have 321 employees who are a thriving part of this force of People Helping People Achieve Their Goals to Lead Healthy Fulfilling Lives.

We have 31,178 coaches doing the same.

That makes a total of 31,499 People Helping People. Check that out!

My goal for our business is one million people helping 100 million people.
I will be providing updated totals weekly (at least).

I will also be refocusing much of my efforts on building those numbers specifically and directly. I will be revisiting objectives and investment in new initiatives based on how they contribute to that specific objective.

I look forward to you taking at look at your specific role within the company, and how you can manage your efforts to help us add and retain coaches as well.

A force of people-helping-people is a pretty exciting thing to build and be a part of. It’s not a slogan to me, this is for real. This is the basis for decisions I make for this company. I appreciate your initiative to improve everything we do, and your passion, enthusiasm, and common sense to make it a reality with real critical mass!

Here's the real scoop about how Shakeology came to be and what medical professionals say about it.   Get ready to feel great, have more energy & lose unwanted weight HEALTHFULLY!

It's no surprise that exercise makes us all feel calmer and better able to tackle stressful situations, but WHY it's so helpful wasn't clear.  Well, another anatomical mystery has been solved!   Take a look at this article in the New York Times discussing the latest research in this field.  In a nutshell, exercise creates new new cells (neurons) in the brain that are impervious to stress.  For mice, it took between 3-6 weeks of regular activity to see marked improvement.  So, start exercising today and see how much less stressed you feel by Jan. 1st!

Here's a link to an interview of Tony Horton by Craig Ballentyne.  It gives some great information on Tony's background in fitness, who he's worked with, how he developed his techniques & how they've evolved over time.  Vintage Tony wit & wisdom! http://instantteleseminar.com/?eventid=9738003

Here we are, screaming towards Thanksgiving w/ more holiday celebrations hot on its heels.  Before we know it, it'll be New Year's Day.  We'll wake up, take a shower, walk into the closet and put on a pair of jeans.  Uh oh.  They don't zip.  They didn't shrink--you grew! 

How did that happen?  Hmmm, the extra helping of stuffing w/ gravy on Thanksgiving?  Maybe that last piece of pumpking pie we "didn't want to go to waste."  (It didn't--it went ON our WAIST!)  Then, there were the parties.  A nibble here, A taste there.  A few cubes of cheese in between.   Oooh, the cookies!  They're a holiday tradition--just a couple though.  Another holiday feast and the leftovers are even yummier.  No time to exercise--too much to do!  You get the picture.  It all adds up and it shows up faster than we'd like. 

This year, do something different. Acknowledge that it's hard to say "No thanks" to something unhealthy when you're tired, you're hungry, and you don't have enough time to fix a balanced meal.  Try Shakeology!  It's willpower in a glass!  Drink one in the morning to start your day by giving your body the nutrition it needs, wants and actually craves!  You'll have more energy all day long.  You won't feel as helpless to resist the siren song of those high calorie sweets and fattening treats.   

Shakeology contains nutrients from over 70 of the healthiest plants, fruits and vegetables on the planet.  You don't have become an expert in what vegetable gives you what vitamins and which phytonutrient and how much of that you have to eat to get the optimal amount.  Who has time for that???  Beachbody's team of experts did the work for you.  All you need to do is pour a glass and enjoy the benefits.

With Beachbody's 30 day guarantee, you can try Shakeology for yourself and discover first hand how much better you'll look January 1.  You might even need to go shopping for new jeans--in a SMALLER size. :)  Wouldn't that be a great way to start the new year?!

Shakeology.  You'll feel good and you'll look good.
