Interview with Gwen Andersen, Independant Beach Body Rep/Coach

Tell us about yourself: I am a WAHM that loves God, my family, cooking, horses, and reading.  I have one husband, two kids (ages 10 & 12), two cats and one dog.  I worked full time until my son was born.  Then, we decided that it was much more important to be at home with the children.  It was not an easy decision and has not always been an easy road but the benefits have been HUGE as my kids are the true benefactors of our sacrifices

Give us a description of your company: Beachbody is the leader in home fitness.  They have a complete line of workout DVD’s and nutritional supplements including a state of the art meal replacement product.  Beachbody combines the power of television infomercials with a home business. 

This unique union provides optimal customer service to buying customers along with continual growth to the coach’s business.  Qualified coaches get paying customers from the infomercials placed into their business.  All support materials like ecards and videos are provided. 

How long have you been in business? 2 years

How long have you been a Christian & share a little about your faith: I have been a Christian my entire life.  I remember horseback riding in junior high and high school singing litergy and hymns with joy in my heart.  After our second child was born, we went through some very hard times with two layoffs and over two years of no income.  At this time, God brought us to a new town and a new church that changed our life.  Our relationship with God became real as He brought us through those trials.  We came out of it financially wiped out but renewed and full of life. 

 How has your faith in God inspired and helped grow your business? There have been many times that I have been tempted to get a job outside of the home to help with finances.  Every time I think about it or even go so far as to find a possible position, something happens in our life to make sure I stay at home.  After this happening over 6-8 times, I finally got the message that God wants me to stay here and that He will provide.  You think I would have learned that well enough during the layoffs but it is so easy to pickup the reins again and try things WE think are right! So, I am totally dedicated to listening to what God wants for our life and staying put in the home, providing what I can for the family financially but more importantly, as a MOM!

 What Advice can you give to other moms thinking about starting their own business?  When looking for something to do from home, first of all pray about it and then make sure it is something you feel passionately about.  If you want to help women with their self-esteem, maybe something in the beauty field. If you want to help people become healthy and fit, look into that.  If you want to bring fun to people, look into home parties.  But most of all, do not start with something that you are not totally committed to.  It will not do you or your sponsor any good.  There are so many good companies out there that everyone should be able to find a great fit for them and their family.

 What are the start up costs and required purchase to stay active:  Startup costs vary depending on the package selected.  The minimum requirements are a $39.95 startup fee and a monthly website fee of $14.95.  At this level coaches get product discounts and can add their own customers, getting paid on their orders.  To become a business builder and build a successful team of coaches, there is a 50pv monthly order requirement.  This can be met by personally ordering discounted DVD’s or nutritional supplements or by customer orders.

Are you willing to allow other Christian moms to contact you if they would like to know more about starting their own business?
