What I've Learned Working From Home | Blam Bombshell Fitness

Time Management is Key
I figured I would start with the most important points first.  Without time management I would  be lost with my business. Working from home is both a blessing and dream come true, but it's not something that comes easy for a lot of people. I have no boss, I have no one telling me to be at work for 8 and if I don't show up there will be consequences. I have the luxury to sleep until noon and watch TV all day....but that's not going to help me with my business and it's not going to make me money to pay my bills and put food on the table. Time management is so key in business, it helps keep me on track and achieve my goals for the day.

I like to end my day by sitting down and writing out my next day's detailed schedule. This includes what time I plan on getting up, when I plan on taking breaks, working out, spending time with my family, ect. I write down everything and I assign a time line to my day. I make sure I cover everything I need to do for my business that day.

Then at the end of the day I evaluate what took longer than expected, what took less time, what still needs to be done, what are the most important things to be done and I make a new schedule for the next day. It's sort of a never ending cycle. I wont plan more than one day because you never know what's going to happen day to day. Sometimes I have emergency that will pull me away from my work and some items don't get done so I bump them to the next day.

There are so many fancy ways to plan and make schedules, I guess I'm old fashion because I use a pen and paper to make my day to day schedules. I date each page at the top and I write down my list of what needs to get done that day and I make a timeline. Throughout my day I will check things off as I go and make notes....find what works best for you.

Get Organized
Another key point! Organization is so important, when I'm making out my schedule for the day I give myself very limited time to complete tasks. For example I might only give myself 30min to respond to new customers. If I'm unorganized and I can't find my computer, loose my customer list, forget who's inquired about products it could eat away precision time from my 30min.

I need to be able to sit down and pick up where I left off to maximize my 30min to connect with my new customers and get them connected with products, signing them up for upcoming events, ect.

Moving seamlessly from one task to another will allow me to get the most out of my day.

Take breaks
I'm a workaholic...it's my best and worst skill. I will work and work and work and then realize that it's 1 in the afternoon and I haven't had a glass of water or stopped for a bathroom break all day! It's important for your health, your sanity and your concentration to stop and take breaks.

I found that when I'm at home I get distracted during my breaks so be careful with this. I might say ok between 10 - 10:15 I'm taking a 15min break....but then when I walk away from my computer I notice that the laundry isn't done and then the floor needs to be cleaned and by the time I realize it I've wasted 2hours cleaning my house.

To stop this from happening I'm very specific with my time. Instead of a 15min break I will say 15min snack break or 15min laundry break. If your like me I need to always have a clean house...so since your working from home give yourself some cleaning breaks. I think it's so therapeutic. That way I can work from a nice clean home and still stay on track. Just remember the more breaks you take the longer you have to stretch your work day. Instead of working 8-5 and taking minimal breaks you might work 8-8 but be taking several breaks throughout the day.

It will all balance out in the end, do what works best for you and your family. If you have small kids in school you might end up breaking up your day, for example work 5-7 before your kids get up, then 9-3 while they are in school and then 9-11 when they are in bed (for course you could shorten this by taking fewer breaks).

Working at home is a luxury, take advantage of the opportunity and make a schedule that works for you & your family.




I have to say that I LOVE working from home. For me and my family it is really a dream come true! It really is a gift that I have to take advantage of, these are just a few tips and advice I can give someone either starting out on their work from home journey or someone who is struggling with their current routine.

I would love to hear any advice that you have for me! If you work from home please let me know in the comments below, what have you learned working from home?

June Life Update | Ms Pam Blam & Blam Bombshell Fitness

Hey!

It's been a while since my last life update, June has been just a roller coaster ride of fun, stress and home projects.

If you saw my Facebook or Instagram post from today, I mentioned that I've missed a lot of my workouts this month.

The weather here finally cleared up and my husband & I took advantage of that to start building our fence. This is our first summer in our new house and there are a ton of outside projects we want to get done...but number one on the list was to get our fence up. What we thought would be a simple weekend project turned into a month long project. Let me tell you putting up a 54 foot fence was no picnic. It was a TON of manual labor and being a non stereotypical housewife I pitched in as much as my husband did when it came down to the actual work.

I feel that being a non stereotypical housewife gets me a lot of weird stares thrown my way when we're out working in our yard. People find it very hard to believe that I pitch in as much as I do when it comes to hard manual labor but it just how I was raised...everyone pitches in and helps when it comes to big projects like that.

Our fence is about 90% done, there are a few final touches we need to put on it.

The days that we spend on the fence were long and exhausting. There were many times that I would collapse at the end of the day into bed and fall asleep for a good 12 hours. Working out was out of the questions. But now that we are wrapping up the project I am getting back into the swing of things!

You would also know if you follow me on Facebook that my home business with Beachbody has been very quit. There have been little to no posts on my page and that's of course because my time has been directed else were...but I'm back now! Super excited to gear up my business and run some new online fitness groups!!

Big things are going to be happening in July! It's hard to believe that June is already over but July has to be my favorite month of the year. It's the month that I got married, it's my birthday month, the weather is always hot, there are a ton of festivals and events to go to, plus it's a great time to take summer vacation!

Leave in the comments below...what are you looking forward to in July?



7 Things Marriage Has Taught Me

1) Your a team but teamwork takes practice
In a marriage you have to work together, together you are stronger and will accomplish more. But like any team sometimes you have to practice working together. As much as I would love to say that working together comes naturally once your married - unfortunately it doesn't.

2) Communication is key
I don't know about your house....but my husband & I like to stay very busy and active. This means that I might not see my husband all day everyday so we have to communicate and let the other person know what's going on, where we are, who's responsible for making dinner that night, who's going to make sure they stop by the bank and pay the bills on time, who's going to be at home waiting for service call, ect. The only way a busy household can function effectively is if you communicate with each other.

3) Date night is still important
This is something that I like is so important. If your house is like ours and you are busy, busy, busy, it's good to take a night off together and go on a date night. It doesn't have to cost you a lot of money. Just staying in and having one person cook a romantic meal followed by a walk is nice. Sometimes you have to put the pause button on life and reconnect with your significant other. Catch up with them and ask how has their week been. Help them resolve any issues they may have stumbled across and praise them for all the hard work they've put in. I feel like some couples miss this step and they are so busy and wrapped up in what they are doing they sometimes forget to connect with their partner which can cause issues down the road.

4) Fight fair
Every couple has fights....if anyone claims they don't fight with their significant other than they are lying. A lot of couples fight differently, I know when I fight with my husband we don't tend to yell or throw things. We fight pretty civil but sometimes we get very heated and passionate about what we are fighting about and very hurtful words will come out of our mouths that we really don't mean. When you get into a heated argument present your side and why you are so passionate about it but also let your partner express their side. No one can win all the time - remember to compromise. If you find yourself at a dead end agree to take a 5min break - take a break and revisit the argument, sometimes you just need a few min to think about it and come up with an alternative solution

5) Show your appreciation
You are in this marriage together. It's nice to be appreciated for your hard work and effort so if you want your appreciation acknowledged then show your appreciation for your partner. Thank them for the little things they do that contribute to your household. Anything from picking up milk, unloading the dishwasher, mowing the lawn, washing your car, vacuuming, ect.

6) Life sometimes doesn't go as planned
I feel like this is the universes cruel joke. I feel like every time I make a plan something happens to derail us. Our vehicle brakes down, someone gets sick, the weather doesn't cooperate, the event we were going to gets cancelled. I guess after having an unpredictable life like ours you learn to let things go and try to laugh about it - I mean what else am I supposed to do? The old version on myself would have breakdown when plans fell through - the new me lets the little things go and moves with the flow. Instead of dwelling on the bad I try to problem solve and figure out what to do instead.

7) Support your spouse for who they are
My husband is who he is, I can't change that and nor would I want to. I feel in love with him for who he is and not who I wanted him to be. Yes he does things that annoy me....I'm sure I do many things that annoy him too...but those little things are part of the package and I love him for who he is. I feel that is it very important to support your spouse for who they are. Any goals or life dreams they have should be encouraged - never screw up your nose at your spouses dream no matter how out there their goals may be.

What Is Beachbody Coaching? | Being The CEO Of Your Own Business

Beachbody Coaching...

What the heck is it!?!

When I first started out as a Beachbody coach I never imagined that my life would change as much as it has. I truly believe that anyone can be a Beachbody coach but Beachbody coaching isn't for everyone.

As a Beachbody coach I've learned that you have to be committed to your health & fitness so that you can become a role model for everyone around you. Then Beachbody coaches must be committed to those around them and helping them committee to their own health & fitness through exercise, eating nutritiously & making positive changes.

Beachbody wants to pay me to workout!?!?!

OKAY! It was kind of a no brainier since I've been using their programs since 2011 anyway.

I never thought it a million years I would be CEO of my own business...but I am! I am the founder of Blam Bombshell Fitness, a small but growing group of Beachbody coaches committed to our health and helping others with their health.

I've learned very quickly that being CEO of your business with no guarantee of success unless you do things right. Just because you sign up as a Beachbody coach doesn't mean you will be entitled to instant success. I've had to work very hard everyday at growing my business, establishing relationships with customers and being sure that I stayed committed to my own health.

What my secret? It's all about how diligent, resistance and resilient you stay towards your business!

I feel  like working from home makes it very easy to get distracted and fall off track. Only those who stay focused and what to succeed in this business bad enough are successful.

This business is nothing like owning a coffee shop or some kind of retail store. You're not just unlocking a door and letting customers come, selling them a cup of coffee and wishing them well as they walk out the door.

This business is so much more than that!

You are showing up everyday on your social media, set goals and following through, gaining customers trust and helping me through their fitness journey.

How many people can honestly say they love their job? I can! I love being a Beachbody coach and I love being the founder/CEO of Blam Bombshell Fitness.

Beachbody Coaching Has Changed My Life | Celebrating my 1 Year Anniversary

It's official! I celebrated my one year anniversary as a Beachbody coach on January 13, 2016.

1 year ago I made a connection with my sponsor coach on Facebook and he presented me with this amazing opportunity. I never thought in just one year my life would change as much as it has. Throughout the past year I've heard all these amazing stories about how Beachbody coaching has changed some many lives and always thought...could that be me someday?

When I first started Beachbody coaching I was
-In a bad place emotionally
-I was always playing the role of the victim and constantly thinking...when am I going to catch a break?
-Struggling with healthy eating habits
-Constantly saying "I'm too busy"...for everything (even family)
-Planning a wedding...but was drowning in debt
-Unhappy in life
-Frustrated with finances
-Depressed
-Letting my anxiety get the best of me
-Drinking...a lot of drinking

In just one short year I can't believe how far I've come! This business is all about helping others become healthy, fit and happy. I believe that the only way to become a successful coach is to lead by example.

I had to ditch my bad attitude and stop blaming everyone and everything for my problems in life. I had to become accountable to my health and fitness. I had to take life into my own hands!

After 1 year I'm now
-Almost debt free
-Stronger than I've ever been
-Excited for life
-Living a happily married life with my family
-Finding time to appreciate the little things in life
-Building a better future for myself and my family
-Taking chances
-Finding my confidence
-Leading by example
-Complete 3 fitness certification courses
-Taking charge of my life
-Making new connections and friendships
-Happier than I've ever been

I am just so thankful for this opportunity. This year is going to be BETTER than 2015. I am ready to up my coaching game and take charge of my business. If you want to follow my Beachbody coaching more closely please go "like" my Facebook page.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope that your 2016 is full of health, happiness, and fitness.
