Meet  Force fitness business owners Alysha and Lucas Hall. They are sharing their story of how they got started with us.

In January of 2013, I realized that I had put on about 40 pounds since giving up playing sports year-round in high school. Not only that, I was very unhealthy and needed to make some changes. I never worked out, and very rarely put the correct foods into my body. I started making a few changes here and there; switching to diet soda, counting calories, and purchasing a stationary bike. A close friend, and a pharmacist, introduced me to some products that she had been taking. She said that her and her husband both started on 24 day challenges and were having amazing results. She was losing weight, and had enough energy to keep up with her four kids! Since I had tried about every “diet” in the book, I decided to go ahead and give this a whirl. I soon found out that AdvoCare wasn’t a diet or a fad that I was just going to do for a few weeks and then give up on. I soon realized that my entire AdvoCare team was there to help me along to be the healthiest person I could be. I not only was introduced to amazing supplements, but an amazing team of champions that were NOT going to let me fail. I realized that AdvoCare was changing my life.
 Since starting my wellness journey, I have dropped over 50 pounds and 5 dress sizes. I am no longer self conscious with my body, and am much more “fit” not only physically but mentally as well. Even though I have achieved my original goal weight, I still intend to stay on the amazing supplements offered by AdvoCare. They are helping me to stay in great shape and have more energy than ever.
 Since starting with AdvoCare in June of 2013, we have been able to expand our business much more. My husband has become a certified personal trainer and we are launching an online personal training business called Forge Fitness. Our ultimate goal is to help as many people achieve overall wellness as possible. From extensive studying and training, Lucas and I understand that not everyone knows exactly what foods are best to fuel their body and what exercises are going to be the most beneficial to achieve the results that they want.
 Lucas not only has the knowledge of a personal trainer, but he has the first hand experience of dropping 60 pounds and 15% body fat. Lucas has such a passion for helping others achieve their “better body” because he too was at a point in his life where he was not happy with the body that he had and was ready to make the changes necessary to have the healthiest body that he could.
 We feel that with Forge Fitness and AdvoCare combined we are going to be able to help as many people as possible. With two of the most significant pillars of health being nutrition and exercise we feel that incorporating amazing supplements with top notch exercises is going to allow people to achieve their best health possible.

We all have to start somewhere, so just start

My name is Erin Rogers. I am a native to Sedalia, MO but now reside in Louisville, KY with my husband. My company is It Works! Global. I was introduced to this company 2 years ago. During this time I was working as a Personal Trainer and thought that what they called “this Crazy Wrap Thing” was exactly that, crazy and a scam. After all, I had a Bachelor’s Degree in Athletic Training, I “knew” how the body worked! I knew there was no magic fix, and you could not ‘spot-treat’ an area. But my curiosity was still intrigued. For the next year and a half I began to slowly research this company. I found that what I thought I knew…was WRONG! The Crazy Wrap Thing, and all the other supplements actually complimented that healthy lifestyle I was training people to have! Plus, it was all organic!

So, at the beginning of April this year, I made the plunge and signed up as a Distributor. There was no risk in signing up. I could basically sign up for FREE! I got my own website that people could order from and the money in just the first month was GREAT! Now I am ending my second month, and days away from being promoted which will TRIPLE my income! This Crazy Wrap Thing sells itself!
What is this Crazy Wrap Thing? It a no mess wrap that you wear on any body part from the neck down! (We also have face wraps!) Wear it at least 45 minutes and see tightening, toning, and reduction of cellulite in the skin! The results have been AMAZING and people are coming back for more!

 

The reason I signed up with It Works! is for a few reasons. The first reason is I BELIEVE in this company! This is a Christian organization that is dedicated to Team Work! I can’t do well unless I help my distributors do well! And I have a TEAM that encourages me every day! The second reason is because I’m HELPING people! If you have had a baby, lost a bunch of weight, or are just looking for a flat tummy- it doesn’t matter how many crunches you do, that loose skin isn’t going to get tighter. This Crazy Wrap Thing is helping people love their bodies again. With its Tightening and Toning properties it’s giving back a self confidence that ever woman (and man) needs! Lastly, I signed up to get OUT OF DEBT! The compensation and mad hunger for this product is helping me become debt free!! School Loans and Life have piled up since getting married and this company helping to eliminate it!

God truly placed this company in my lap, and it has been the best decision I’ve made in a long time! I am so excited where this company will go and where it will take me!!! If you are looking to make some extra income, want to work the hours you want, make the money you deserve, and be the mom you want to be, THIS is your company! It truly lives life with you instead of being the center of your life! Let me teach AND help you get your $10,000 bonus in your first 90 days!! You have what it takes!!!

How To Start a Small Business

   We all know the basics, Find your passion, research the market, write a business plan, and get to work. What we don't know is how to we make sense of it all  What is legal required and what is not.

 1. Determine the legal structure of your business such as sole proprietor, C-corp, S- corp, Or LLC
       
             Having a hard time figuring this out Check out:    legalzoom.com  and    corpnet.com .

 2. Find out if you  need an  Employer Identification Number ( EIN).  This is often determined based on the business structure that best fits your business. 

 The IRS website is the best resource for determining if you need an EIN or  not and you may also  obtain you EIN through their website by filling out SS-4 Form. The Best new yet is  it FREE
http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Small-Businesses-&-Self-Employed/Employer-ID-Numbers-EINs


3.  It is important to remember the legal requirements for small business vary based on county, city, and state.  Federal requirements are all the same no matter were you are located
                  
So contact you local city hall first find out what the licensing process is.
In most cases contractors and other small business require the basic business issued by the county.       Business license vary by county but generally range between $12.50-$200.00

4.  Register for state and local taxes if  you are selling a product you are often required to charge sales tax.  When offer a service in most cases you are not required to charge taxes on the service rendered. 

This is often something that is done at the same place you apply for you business license, so save yourself a trip and get them both at the same time.   

****  Remember that if you have a store front you must display your business license and you tax licenses , Along with the owners name, Address, and contact information.

5.Now that you have your business name, EIN and city license. Start a bank account just for your business. This makes the accounting so much easier

6. Start keeping records (  I will be bringing you details on this soon)

 7. Use your time wisely
These steps can be a time consuming process, so while you are waiting ( AND YOU WILL BE WAITING )  start advertising, spreading the word about the product or services that you are planning to offer. Start making business contacts and getting to know other business owners in your area.  It is important that you begin to form relationships with your local news paper and radio station they help get the word out and may throw you a bone.

 Take to social media it is a free resource that  will help get the word out about your business.

Also find out if your area has a  local chamber of commerce they will often help highlight new business in the paper or on their website.      

By definition

 By definition what is life, what is happiness, what is love, what is success?!
 Who creates this definition?
    For me growing up, if someone told me I couldn't do something I was going to show them that I could and not only was  I going to do it, I was going to do it the best that I could. I never  let anything stop me, As a teen I know I wanted to be something great. I wanted to help people, I have always had a passion for help other succeed. I  had an idea but no plan and I honestly not sure that I would have  come up with a plan if it was not for the inspiration of my now husband. He is the true definition of an Entrepreneur. He created something from nothing and in the process inspired me to fellow my dreams. I  feel that some people are born with the passion for entrepreneurship and some people have it created in them.    We never know what we might do to inspire someone else, I believe  what is truly important is creating you own DEFINITION of who you are and who you wanted to be and making it happen.


       Entrepreneurs,  in the purest sense,  are those who identify a
                             need—any need—and fill it.
   It’s a primordial urge, independent of product, service, industry or market
