Do You Have What It Takes To Be a Champion?

I love getting older. I know that statement might seem odd to a world that is obsessed with youth. Do you have what it takes to be champion in life? The word in the dictionary says “a person who has defeated or surpassed all rivals in a competition”. What most of us begin to realize is that life itself is a competition; some of us participate and others walk away. For the purpose of my post today, I would like to talk about those that become champions and how at one time or another they must face overwhelming odds to persevere and to realize their goals. I’ve had the great opportunity to meet many successful people and the one thing I see in all of them is desire. That desire is so strong they will stop at nothing and no obstacle big or small will stand in their way. Are you a champion?

As I write this, my wife and I made a goal to run the TransRockies Run in August 2012. It is a 120-mile 6-day event that will test our inner champions. I’m now faced with one of those obstacles. Many ultra runners face repetitive motion injury; I’m faced with a right ankle that isn’t healing. I’m faced with that age old question: Are you a champion or are you going to quit? Quit! It makes me sick to my stomach to utter those words in this blog. But, do champions quit? The answer is NO. Watch this video. Diana Nayd, she set all kinds of long distant swimming records in 1970′s but hadn’t been swimming for years, one day began to look for purpose in her life again. I believe she was looking for that desire to do what all champions do. I also believe true champions build a habit of winning and the ups and downs don’t effect them as much as they might effect us “champions in training”. That’s right, we are all champions in training. Watch this video and really listen to her words. Have you walked away from a dream because the odds were against you? Do you wish you could be like Diana?

After watching this, I had to watch it again. I felt that desire to push though my problems and reach the next level. Did you feel that? While you were watching this, did you feel that you want and deserve more out of your life? Then you have it. The heart of a champion. But, champions don’t sit around waiting for something big to happen, they make it happen. All of us were so inspired by 3rd string quarterback Tim Tebow who lit up the mile high city with his desire to win. I don’t care if you like him or you don’t. Did you feel something watching his team pull out those amazing victories? Then you might just have the heart of a champion. Diana showed me the grace in falling short and the courage it takes to come back. I’ve felt that before – in early 2010 doctors found a tumor in my upper right chest. I was training for a Triathlon and it was killing me to stop all my training and undergo a 9-hour operation and 10 months of recovery. But what do champions do? They come back. I came back and finished that Triathlon on my terms and then set the goal to run the TransRockies with the most amazing woman on this planet. My wife has inspired me to reach for all my goals no matter how big or small. My wish for you today is that you will be a champion in all you do!

GO FOR IT!

Expanding successful Beachbody P90X to UK, Canada
million dollar earner David Tyler Martin
Beachbody, the makers of P90X, Insanity, and Shakeology is about to expand into Canada, UK, and other countries with their successful home based business opportunity. I am writing this information for the first time, because I am a founding coachin America and one of Team Beachbody’s top earners. I have been informed by the company that they are currently testing and selling P90X and other programs in Canada, UK, Mexico and other countries and soon they will launch their “Coaching Business”, as they call it. Expanding into the UK, Canada, and other counties is only a matter of time. When talking to top executives at the 2011 Summit, it’s clear that expanding into Canada, UK, and Mexico isn’t “if”, it’s “when”.In the last two years, their expanding coaching program has begun to catch on in America with over 50,000 coaches and is growing fast. Beachbody wants to expand to 1 million coaches in America and 3 million coaches world wide. The CEO Carl Deikeler believes that this is what we will need to reverse the tend of obesity world wide. From a business perspective, I believe that this rapidly expanding last two years is a turning point for you to consider becoming a coach and securing your position. A wise business move, and based on the awards that Beachbody is piling up in the direct selling industry, it is clearly time to get in. My business has been growing since the start and the company just reported that their highly rated Shakeology solution hit 1.5 million per week! When you look at other companies in the same position and development, it’s clear that Beachbody’s home based business or Coaching program is poised to be one of the biggest direct selling companies in the world.
When will Canada, Mexico, and UK be expanding?
Over the last 2 years the company has been adding key people to handle this expansion and is currently talking about it more and more. I am writing this blog because I believe now is the time to get ready and join me. The top program P90X has been translated into Spanish and our Team Beachbody coaching sites are all in Spanish. Will they open Mexico soon? My feeling is “yes”, and that is why I’m looking for 15 top bi-lingual coaches now! I also have coaches in the UK who are ready for the expansion and believe that we are currently the best prepared for the global expansion.
The final word on Expanding in Canada, UK, and Mexico
The company hasn’t at the time of this posting made any official announcement that they are opening Canada, the UK, or Mexico, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that it is going to happen and that you should be on “The D Train” (my best friend Todd Saylor calls me) if you want to know first. Because of my great relationship with the top executives and the fact that I am one of the founding coaches and top earners, if I were reading this and was a business man or woman, then I would want to consider being with a top earner and someone that has a proven track record. Below I have provided you with a form to request doing business with me. I would enjoy connecting with you and discussing partnering with you when the time comes for expanding Team Beachbody into Canada, UK and Mexico.

Companies using incentives to help employees loose…

American Companies Battle Obesity

This news got me excited. I’m always glad when I see people taking responsibility and helping others.

Today in USA Today Kelly Kennedy wrote a great article about how over the last two years companies have adopted financial incentives to encourage people to lose weight, join a fitness program or get a physical exam, according to a survey last month by the National Business Group on Health.

Helen Darling the president of NBGH said “There was a long time when employers felt this was a personal issue, but in the last five years, the dramatically increasing health care cost of obesity have changed their minds.”

Some serious problems related to obesity she said, including higher rates of depression, absenteeism, low productivity and more medical claims. An overweight employee costs employers $5000 more a year in health costs then a healthy-weight individual.

It pays off to help employees loose weight

These were some interesting findings. They surveyed 335 employers and found that the share of companies that used financial rewards in health management programs increased to 54% in 2011 from 36% in 2009. Its expected that 80% of companies plan to offer financial rewards.

The survey also revealed that the percentage using penalties, such as for smoking, more then doubled from 8% in 2009 to 19% in 2011. Nearly 40% of the companies surveyed plan to use penalties next year.

Because of the Affordable Care Act that allows employers to spend 30% of employees health insurance or up to 505 with Department of Health and Human services approval – on wellness incentives starting in 2014.

Some employers are seeing behaviors changing with these incentives.

Health Care Service Corp., a health benefits company made up of four Blue Cross and Blue Shield programs and Dearboarn National, medical claim costs fell more the $1 million in a year, according to Lauren Plugas, spokesworman for HCSC

Employees who workout one to two times a week have 8% lower medical cost then those who don’t work out; those who work out two to three times a week have 28% lower medical cost; and those who work out more then three times a week have a 44% lower medical costs.

Companies are paying co-pays and giving cash incentives for weight lost.

Win $100,000 for doing what you need to do

One of the countries largest in-home fitness companies Beachbody is giving away more then $800,000 in one night to help everyone get healthy and fit. Carl Daikeler the CEO of Beachbody has rented the MGM Grand and will be personally giving away the money in 2012. (SEE His Video Here) Corporations are signing up their employees for FREE and in some cases paying for these low cost solutions. Beachbody provides Coaches to help their member’s success. Beachbody is the maker of P90X, Insanity, Brazil Butt Lift, Turbo Fire and many other workouts.

It’s good business to help people. Good for our country and for everyone. I’m actively helping corporations find and implement solutions. Please reach out to me if you would like to get more information.

Do Dreams Really Come True?

Growing up we we’re exposed to so much, Disney for instance would make you believe that there are always happy endings. I think we are exposed to marketing, when we are small that would make us believe that someday soon our fairy tail ending will be coming. Then the realities of the world set in and we forget about it all, we are running from place to place trying to make money, we experience divorce, death and our local news media telling us how horrible the world is. For me, I forgot about dreams in my twenties and got caught up in life and it wasn’t until I was 35 that I realized that I needed a new way to think. I began to write out my goals in life and created a vision board. Today I’m 47 and that was 12 years of more ups and downs and failed relationships, but I kept saying that I wouldn’t give in to the negative no matter what.

I have good news to report to you. On Friday 11/11/11 at sunset, in a private, wonderful 9 miles of secluded beach in Mexico, I married the love of my life, the princess, as Disney would have us all believe. She came into my life and really loved me, made me believe that dreams do come true and life can be what you want it to be.

What I’ve leaned is that, dreams are our own responsibility to make come true and it took me to the age of 47 to find the man that I am and love I wanted to have in my life. Don’t settle in your life. If you don’t like where you are today then fix it. It will not happen over night. It took me 12 years of working on myself to make this happen in my life and it doesn’t stop here, I need to keep on this path of self-improvement and discovery to make my life the best it can be. My hope is that you are reading this and will want to begin that journey for yourself and begin to change just a few little things about you life today! Dreams do come true in the journey of your life, but you must not just dream but do actionable things everyday to change you first. It was clear to me now, as I look back. Life is energy and you attract who you are inside. So, if you are attacking bad things, then it might be a good idea to look at yourself first. It’s a hard thing to do, to make a personal assessment of yourself, but it will help you begin a life changing solution.

I wish you only the best for you in this life.
