Amy Musgrove: I Want to Make Money From Home

I Want to Make Money From Home

I have always had a natural ability to sell things, but to be honest, I don't LOVE being a salesman.

Once I became a SAHM (Stay-at-home Mom), I had the urge to want to do something extra. Something that didn't involve poopy diapers or runny noses.

I decided to start selling scrapbook supplies. Well, that lasted about 3.5 seconds (okay, about 3 months), and I quickly realized that it wasn't for me.

I swore I would never get involved with another at-home business after my first failed attempt with the scrapbook stuff. I figured that "at-home" stuff wasn't for me.

In comes Beachbody.

When I found out that I could do an at-home business dealing with fitness, I was very intrigued. I did a lot of research before finally realizing that Beachbody was the real deal.

It wasn't about selling magic "fixes" for weight loss. It wasn't a fad diet. It was real: fitness, nutrition, and accountability.

Those are the three KEY parts of getting healthy. Period.

So, here I am. Helping people get fit and healthy, while I can stay accountable to my own fitness. I couldn't ask for a better job.

Oh, and that selling thing...I don't feel like I'm "selling" when I'm offering solutions to help people change their lives. I really feel like this is the best job ever!

In fact, this week, I made over $90 just because I have a team of people who are also helping others get fit. I didn't sell one thing this week.

Could you use an extra $90 this week?

About Me

When I want something, I'll do whatever it takes to get there. Whether it's taking a huge road trip to get where I want to go, or hanging out by the tour bus to meet a famous person...I'll do what it takes!

I'm a natural born leader, and a great listener. I don't like drama or being around negative influences. It's all about positivity for me!

I dropped out of college. Maybe that's the free spirit in me, who knows?

I always joke that's why I became a Group Fitness Instructor...no college education required! That's only partly true, actually. Don't get me wrong...I had to bust my butt to get where I am today. I'm so proud of how hard I've had to work to do what I do, but mostly, I became a Group Fitness Instructor because I discovered that I was passionate about it.

Fitness hasn't always come easy to me though. I'm kind of lazy by nature. (Let's just call a spade a spade, shall we?!)

I got married when I was barely 20, and moved all over the world with my husband's military career. I spent my time baking because that's what I thought I was supposed to do.

I gained weight, lost self-esteem, all while trying to squeeze into my jeans. It was not pretty.

I spent the first 5 years of my marriage like this. Then I got pregnant.

I gained about 50 pounds during my pregnancy, exceeding the "recommended" weight gain for healthy pregnancy by about 20-30 pounds.

During my pregnancy, I vowed (in between pan-fulls of brownies) that I would get in the best shape of my life after I had my baby.

That was the motivation I needed to do something positive for myself.

I started running and taking aerobics classes. I was feeling great, gaining self-esteem back that I'd lost somewhere along the way, and I was losing my baby weight. I accomplished more in the first year after I had my baby than I ever thought possible of myself. I ran my first half-marathon (13.1 miles) and became a Group Fitness Instructor! Two things I never thought I'd do, let alone within the same year!

The rest is history, like they say.

If you saw me on the streets, you might not know that I'm super sarcastic, or that I love correct spelling and punctuation (and when things aren't spelled correctly, it's like nails on a chalkboard for me), or that I've got tattoos.

Three words I'd use to describe myself: fun, outgoing, caring.

I feel so grateful for many things in my life. First and foremost, my awesome husband and amazing son. I'm so happy that I've been able to discover what it is that I'm passionate about in life. Some people take their entire lives trying to figure that out.

Here's to good health!
