Hey teamRIPPED!!
Another month … another WINNER from teamRIPPED in the Beachbody Challenge!!! Actually, this month there were TWO winners from teamRIPPED!!. That brings our total to 12 winners of the Beachbody Challenge in the 10 months of the contest. We continue to CRUSH it! I haven’t gotten word yet of who our winners were this month, but I got a call from the Beachbody corporate office to congratulate me and all of our team for the amazing standard we are setting. Getting results is what we are about, and we GET THEM! Way to go gang! By next week I will know who our winners were this month and I’ll post their pics for y’all.
And if you think you are on your way to some results worthy of the cash prizes, be sure you enter the Beachbody Challenge yourself. To learn more, CLICK HERE.
As many of you who follow the comment threads have noticed, teamRIPPED has been attracting a lot of new folks lately …. many of them critics (my nice word for them LOL). Last week it was the “Protein” article that turned into an all out war, and then this week it was my “Comparing Bests” post that got really ugly in the comment threads. What gives?? LOL.
I guess that’s the benefit of becoming more and more visible on Google and search engines. Face it people, we are a big deal now!! :-) Our tight knit group of dedicated teamRIPPED members now gets to enjoy all sorts of comments from random trolls with all sorts of opinions on everything. I don’t mind. I’m here to help. And maybe we can inspire them to stop making excuses and start Bringing It like we do!
I hope that the negativity of some of these folks isn’t affecting your commitment though. I’ve always had the policy that I will not censor comments unless they are profane, so even if they have nothing but negative things to say about me, Beachbody, or teamRIPPED I will still approve the comment. I will of course reply and offer my take on the situation, but I don’t just trash their comment. I hope my teamRIPPED family is okay with that approach. Let me know if you aren’t and I will consider approaching it differently. A couple ideas I have for how to handle our hater-visitors are (feel free to vote for your preference) =
1) Let them do their hating right in the comment threads like they do now. But rather than me getting into an all day battle with them, I could just say “Hate on, Hater!” and leave it at that.
2) I could let them do their hating, but not let it happen on the comment thread. Instead, I could route them to a new tab called the “Hater Zone” (like my Excuse Zone) so they can hate without wasting our time.
3) I could trash their comments so no one sees them (but that’s not as fun LOL).
Let me know what you think!
The more famous our team gets, the more people will want to attack us. I say Bring it on! Our results speak for themselves and no one can hang with that!
And on a related note, what others say about us shouldn’t deter us or distract us from our goals and purpose. Negative people are a fact of life. It makes them feel better about themselves to criticize others. It’s a shame, but it’s the way it is. Don’t let it bug you. The problem isn’t us. It’s them. I don’t get mad at them. I feel sorry for them.
Like Tony says in P90X2, “I stopped caring what people think about me a long time ago”.
What awesome advice! That’s the key to staying focused on the goal and maintaining contentment. When we let what others say about us affect our self esteem, we are doomed! Cuz there will always be people — a LOT of them — who are more than anxious to tell us everything wrong with us. Are we going to listen to them, or are we going to press on?? I’m pressing on!! How about you?
Finally, lots of cool stuff has happened to me thanks to my journey with P90X — and now I’ve got yet another cool thing to add to the list. I’m a lyric in a music video! LOL! Check out this Beachbody / P90X music video. It’s pretty tight. And I didn’t even know I’d have my name dropped at 2:20 until I watched it. Pretty cool!
John actually did this rap as his entry in the talent show for the upcoming Beachbody Summit in Las Vegas. I’ll definitely cast my vote for him!!
Oh, and one more update for all of you who have taken the time to read this far ….. a little sneak peek of Body Beast! I know the few guys who ask me about it EVERY DAY will be glad to see this (and of course it will spark a whole bunch more questions LOL) =
I don’t know what the package options will be, or the pricing. And I don’t know the exact release date, but I can let you know that it is going to be sooner than you think … SUMMER 2012!!!
The required equipment to do Body Beast will be a curl bar with weight plates, dumbbells, a pullup bar, and either an adjustable bench or stability ball (the adjustable bench is handy but for those not wanting to buy one, a stability ball is an alternative). I know nothing more than that at the moment (that I’m allowed to share). I will share more details as the release gets closer! I can’t wait to do a Body Beast Challenge with teamRIPPED!
And 2 favors that I ask:
1) If you like the hard work I put into writing my articles and videos, PLEASE help me out by sharing them. Click the share links below them and share them on FB, twitter, etc. It really helps me get more exposure and grow teamRIPPED!
2) Also, as always, remember that the way I benefit from being your coach is that I earn a commission from any Beachbody products that you purchase, as long as you buy them through my site, www.teamRIPPED.com, or by logging in to www.teambeachbody.com to do your shopping (If you buy from the plain beachbody site I get no credit). It helps with the amount of time I spend answering all your questions and helping you out. Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Keep bringing it and inspiring others to do the same gang!!
