I'm not a coach but I do another MLM business and I was thinking wow this paints a pretty ugly picture of it and my personal experience is so different and I truly do everything on my own time and don't just think about the next sale etc. It makes me sad that you had such a bad experience because for some I think it's quite opposite. Glad you were able to walk away and regain your happiness.

I love your realness and transparency. I l...Lauren,<br />I love your realness and transparency. I love your thoughts and your opinions, and a real look into what your life was like. However, I can't help thinking that this ISNT a blanket statement. As a Beachbody coach, I couldn't feel more opposite about some of it. And honestly, it kinda makes me sad/hurts my feelings. I don't ever want people to think I'm just messaging them or meeting them "to do business". I have so many amazing new friends and relationships BECAUSE OF Beachbody. Its totally transformed ALL aspects of my life, but especially my outlook and perspective. I always wanted to be a SAHM, and that was always the plan. But this opportunity has given me so much PURPOSE. The ability to be a part of something far greater than myself. It's truly not about the money for me. I know thats not true for a lot of coaches, but honestly I hardly ever look. For me, its about meeting those people who really do need help. When one of my girls comes to me saying they are wearing shorts they haven't worn in years, or are finally confident enough to walk around the house naked in front of their husband (TMI?) or that their blood work came back normal for the first time in years...THAT'S what makes me love this job. Finding a balance is hard. The balance between work and family and hobbies and just LIFE. I totally get that. But I'm not on my computer or on calls all the time. And I refuse to be. Anyway, I'm ranting at this point. I just wanted to say thank you for your honesty. But also to know that while your perspective is a great one, a behind the scenes look, and a lot of that is true and factual, the opinions and feelings arent the same for everyone. And not every Beachbody coach is constantly thinking about their next customer and the money :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16267662632934449421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679828416224110300.post-64756091723182550042017-06-15T13:39:24.173-04:002017-06-15T13:39:24.173-04:00Oh my gosh girl, this just made my heart hurt read...Oh my gosh girl, this just made my heart hurt reading this! I've loved following your blog and IG, and I remember when you started posting all the sales I was like whaaaaat no! Haha but you still seemed so sweet and real that I stayed following. I know when you messaged me a few times I really hoped it wasn't all strictly business. I 100% see how you got sucked in though. It's hard being a mama and not feeling secure post baby. I can imagine how nice it was to feel good, get compliments, and make money too! The insanity and obsession behind it that's pushed on you though is too much. As a SAHM I always wish there was a way to make money from home, but I know I would never have it in me to do a "sales" program.. or the time! I can't wait to read the rest and see how you changed your mind. It's so good to have the real Lauren back in the online world! :)Alicia Rowlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13653373917295489882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679828416224110300.post-20888475589057268832017-06-15T12:05:11.700-04:002017-06-15T12:05:11.700-04:00I love how real, raw and open you are about this! ...I love how real, raw and open you are about this! I know this will help others that may be in the same boat. I have to commend you for noticing what it was doing to your personal life. So many are driven by money and forfeit the family for that.

I signed up mainly for a discount for myself but also I thought...why not make a little money on the side. I saw how many texts and things the people further up the totem pole were sending out about how to do this or that and all the meetings that they wanted us to attend and I was like..I have a full time job, I told you I was signing up for the discount only. Man the pressure!!! I can imagine it taking over your life so quickly. I think you did an excellent job of being motivational and inspiring on Instagram with your posts and stories though. I knew you were trying to sell, but you were also more real than other coaches I see out there. And you really did have amazing results from the program! I am looking for that thing to push me back over the edge to get this baby weight off. I just didn't realize how much behind the scenes work you were doing to keep up with all of that.

I have no drive to be a coach or work in any of the MLM businesses really..mainly because I didn't want to spend the time to make the profit (#lazy) but I had no idea there was THIS much behind the scenes going on.
