My
Summit Experience 2015
Wow
I still can't believe that over 2 weeks has gone by since my first
Beachbody Summit. It still feels like it was just the other day.
For a year now I have been hearing stories about Summit and listening
to the Monday morning wake up calls. It seemed like every coach I
heard speak on the wake up call said that summit was their AHA
moment. Well now I can see why!!!!! I wish I could explain the
feeling that came over me at opening ceremony and closing ceremony.
It was like I wanted to cry but my heart was beating out of my chest
because I wanted to be that person that walked across that stage or
even stood on that stage. Then it turned into I am going to walk
across that stage or stand on that stage next year summit 2016. I
listened to Melanie Mitro, Lindsay Matway and several other top
coaches say that they started where I started and in just 4 or 5
years they are now top coaches or elite.
They
make it all real and make it possible for me to say that I will be
there. You have a dream for yourself and your team by helping others
with there fitness and nutritional goals. What more can I say my
team and I do this because we love what we do by keeping up with our
fitness and nutritional goals and most importantly helping the people
that need us most. So I speak of goals for myself but I have big
goals for my team, Team Believers as well. I have taken away so much
from my summit experience and the work shops I attended. With this I
will build Team Believers and offer them the same experience and the
entire notebook full of notes that I have brought home with me. I
listened to some pretty amazing men and women during the days spent
at summit. Each one of them start where we start and each one of
them have a pretty amazing story to tell. Not only do they share
there personal stories but they share what has worked for them as a
coach.
I had the pleasure to attend Melanie Mitro's class on How to create
a marketing strategy for your business with over a 1,000 other
determined coaches. Each speaker from each workshop and each speaker
at all the events I was able to pick up a little information from
each one of them. Some of them hit close to home and could no have
been any more perfect for me. I met so many new friends and can't
wait to meet up with them at next summit or sooner. Some of which we
shared stories with and some we made plans to meet at the same
location at the same time next year to share our stories and what we
accomplished during the year. One person I connected with I know
that some day I will be sharing my story and he will be part of that
story. Just the day before I attended a workshop that talked about
how important everyone story was and everyone had one you just had to
put it into motion and figure out how you were going to tell it.
I
walked away telling my friends that it was important for me to find
my story or better yet find how I was going to tell it. Then the
next day I was talking to a complete stranger who I had just met
while in intermission. Near the end of our conversation he told me
“I hope you are journaling this and said no really I hope you are
writing all of this down that you are telling me. Because your story
is so different and unlike any other story I have heard before.” I
took that to heart and was in amazement afterward. I realized then
that I did have a story and it was different from any one that I have
heard at summit. Next year summit is going to rock and I am so
excited that some of my team is going to be there with me to share
these incredible moments that they too will never forget. I would
like to share some of the awesome pictures of everything we did while
in Nashville, Tennessee.
Our
first morning at summit we were up bright and early to get a good
spot in line for the opening of Core. Core is where you can go and
shop for some of the newest clothing and products that you have not
seen on line yet. We were amazed by the line already when we got
there, but when the doors opened we were right where we needed to be
to get a good spot into Core. Needless to say we all spent some
money but with the discount you get as coach it is well worth it and
the clothing was pretty amazing too. The new products that were
released at summit (Cize, Boost and the Perfomance Line) were all
available for us to purchase first.
Then
it was time to check in and receive all of our wrist bands and name
badges to get us through the next few days.
Then
from there we were off to our first live workout with none other than
the man Shaun T and T25. I love all of his programs but nothing
compared to the intensity of his live workout.
We
rushed back to our rooms to get ready for a picture with the
Bombshell Dynasty team members which we thought for sure we were not
going to make it too. But we did and we were early. We got the
chance to see a pretty amazing team that we are part of and see
Lindsay Matway.
We
also got a chance to meet Scotty Hobbs which was pretty great because
I had learned and watched many of his you tube videos. From there we
went to LP Field for the opening ceremony. Man was it hot and we
could not wait for the sun to go down.
That
was my first experience with how Beachbody makes you feel like you
are part of an amazing business and that EVERY ONE MATTERS (the theme
this year).
Friday
morning was no different we were up bright and early again to join
Chalene Johnson in another live workout. Chalene was real as well
and I was proud to be able to stand in front of her and bring my
sweat on live instead of my living room. She inspires me every day
through fitness and personal development.
After
the workout we were starved and decided it was Shakeology time and
why not try the new boost with it. We sure needed it after that
workout.
Next was our class with Melanie Mitro and then general
sessions. At General Sessions and workshops we were able to hear
from CEO Carl Deikler, celebrity trainers Janelle Summers, Chalene
Johnson, Daren Olien and Isabelle Deikler the creators of shakeology.
At each of the workshops we listened to several top coaches who
share how they make there business work from day to day. So when I
say I brought home a notebook full of notes, I DID. Friday us girls
went out to eat an amazing place that I love to go to and could not
wait to share it with them.
Then
we partook in some bars on Broadway where I met a number of great
coaches that I can't wait to meet up with next year.
We did not stay
out long cause it was going to be an even earlier morning to get a
good spot on Broadway for the Super Workout with all of the celebrity
trainers. (Sagi, Tony Horton, Autumn Calabrese, Chalene Johnson and
Shaun T) On our way back to our room we had heard that gates were
going to open at 3am and we were only a few short hours away from
that. There was no way we could get there at that time, but we got
up and headed that way not knowing what to expect and where we would
be at on Broadway. Knowing that more than 20,000 coaches were there
to do the same thing we were.
We
made out well and were close to the stage. We loved it after seeing
how many people were behind us we made out great being on 2nd
Avenue. The super workout was over an hour long and we all were
feeling it with the heat. But it was well worth the experience no
matter how tired we were. Then it was off to workshops again to hear
some amazing people speak. After workshops I went and picked up
Delaney for closing ceremony and was so happy that she was there with
me.
I
am certain that she truly enjoyed being there with me. Closing
ceremony was pretty amazing from recognizing the millionaires club,
to financial freedom club, the 100,000 dollar winner and the top
coach presentation of Melanie Mitro. Delaney's most memoriable
moment was seeing Chalene Johnson from Turbo Fire. She tells
everyone all about it. As we were leaving closing ceremony she said
that she wished she could meet Shaun T and I promised her that one of
these times she will get that chance to meet him face to face.
Then
it was off to Broadway again for the after party celebration. I had
seen Broadway several times in my past, but nothing like what I had
seen this week in Nashville. I was said it was over and glad I was
there with a pretty amazing group of women. We all purchased our
tickets for next year Summit to be held in Nashville again 2016 and
happy to hear that some of my own team coaches will be joining me
next years. Team Believers is looking up and we are going to do some
pretty amazing things this year and we will be recognized for it at
Summit next year.
If
YOU want to become a coach on Team Believers and be a part of an
amazing team fill out the form below. You are on your way to
making your dreams and others dreams come true.
