What is a WHY- What reasons do you have to go after your dreams

What is a WHY

Jillian Kaplan

results may vary

I want to share with the amazing results of my friend Jillian who recently became an Elite Coach with Team Beachbody.  There are only a couple hundred Elite Coaches in the entire company so her message is so powerful which is WHY I wanted to share it with you today.  Often times you hear stories in Beachbody like mine where we didn’t know how to provide for our three little girl back in 2011 and that was my WHY.  The thing that DROVE me to go all in with my journey with Beachbody.  Jillian was told her WHY was not big enough.  What is a why anyway? I think the word WHY in the terms of going after your dreams is often misleading and that is why I like to call it your reason.  The reason that Jillian became an Elite coach even though she had a great career and no children is because she wanted to take care of herself and help others do the same.  I hope that this story inspires YOU to find your reasons and to begin your journey.

Before I started on my journey, I felt uncomfortable in my own skin. I would get on the elliptical for an hour every day and was NO results. I have NO idea how to portion my meals and I was a self diagnosed carb addict. While I don’t believe a size 2 is in my future, I am now comfortable in my skin and I have the confidence to help others. It’s a total 180 for me.”

“Here is my WHY,  I ended 2015 as an Elite Coach, it’s an accomplishment I am proud of:  When I first started coaching I was told I needed a ‘why’ like WHY I wanted and needed this business to work for me. A deep down reason, something that kept me up at night. The best thing I could come up with is that I had struggled with my weight my whole life, I didn’t want to struggle anymore and I wanted to help others. In a lot of people’s eyes that wasn’t a big enough why. I watched all of these top coaches pour their heart out about their huge why’s and none of them fit me. I am not a Mom so I don’t spend 10+hours a day away from my kids and yearned to be home, I don’t hate my 9-5 job (in fact I really like it and feel like a valued employee, I am not riddled in debt without anyway out and the list goes on. I am amazed by all the adversity these amazing men and women have overcome to get to where they are but the truth is I was raised in an upper middle class family with amazing parents who have always helped me follow my dreams and made sure I was provided for and got the education I needed.

I simply wanted to help myself and others on this journey but so many times I was told that wasn’t enough. I am glad I didn’t listen. I KNEW in my heart that it IS enough and if you work hard and keep your own why in mind, no matter how basic it may seem you will be successful. I know we all play the comparison game but I am no longer concentrating on what I am not but rather on WHAT I AM. 

 I am a passionate, married adult who has TWO jobs she loves and a passion for helping others.”
