You are welcome Iris, Wanda here you have the Carl's message. I have posted two smilies faces to mark the update :
A Million Reasons To Get Fit In 2007
If you are a Beachbody success story, or even thinking about submitting your photos and story for consideration, this post is for you!
Let's imagine you were visiting the Beachbody headquarters in the next couple of weeks, and I see you in the hall while you admire the hundreds of customer before-and-after photos lining the walls...
Carl: "Welcome to Beachbody!"
You: "Nice to be here. I was just looking at all these people. Amazing!"
Carl: "You should be on these walls too. We're going to start adding eight a month at least."
You: "Eight new people a month? You think it's time for me to submit my success story to you guys, or should I wait until I'm done with P90X?"
Carl: "You're a subscriber to the MyBeachbody club right?"
You: "Of course."
Carl: "Starting January 1st we're going to choose a male and female MyBeachbody success story in four age groups, and pay $1,000 to six of them, and $10,000 to the BEST male and female submissions of the month!"
You: "Wait... You're picking the best eight in four different age groups, and giving ten grand to the best male and female submission each month? That's incredible!"
Carl: "But wait - here's where it gets really interesting: Once you win a monthly prize, you're automatically one of the finalists of the year in contention for the annual Grand Prize - $250,000 to the best male and female success stories of the year!
You: "A quarter of a million bucks?!"
Carl: "And it's called..."
You: "What?"
Carl: "Wait for it... "
You: "Tell me!"
Carl: "The Million Dollar Body Game!"
You: "The Million Dollar Body Game! So you're choosing eight winners a month, all who get at least $1,000, and the two best get $10,000. And all eight winners qualify for the annual $250,000? Just one person a year gets that, right?"
Carl: "No! $250,000 to the best male, and $250,000 to the best female success story. We're giving away over one million dollars a year! So based on how well you have done and your great story, I think you should submit your success story when the new submission system is launched at the end of December, and no later than JANUARY 1st. The submission process will be handled straight through your MyBeachbody member page -- no mail-in submissions will be accepted. Of course, of all the months, I imagine that this first one will get the fewest submissions because so few people will know about the game. But it doesn't matter if you don't submit yours by January first because you can submit every month as your results get better and better."
You: "Tell me more!"
Carl: "The Success Story contest is for MyBeachbody members only. In fact, as of the first we're going to change the name to the Million Dollar Body Club. But we also want to encourage everyone to participate. So you know how we've picked a few days a year to select someone in WOWY to win $300 bucks right?"
You: "Yeah a friend of mine won the last time you did that. I wish you did that more often."
Carl: "Starting Jan 1. we will be choosing someone at random every day from WOWY to win $300 in cash or prizes, just for entering their workout in WOWY! As long as they have a photo uploaded to their WOWY profile. Oh - but one day each week we'll give away $1,000 - THAT'S THE $1,000 WOWY MYSTERY DAY!"
You: "That way everyone gets motivated - That makes it more fun!"
Carl "What I enjoy most about being CEO of this business is seeing and celebrating customers who achieve their goals. And the more people who achieve real, visible transformations, the more customers we attract. Success Stories become walking billboards for us, and that's how everybody wins."
You: "I guess I better keep working out!"
Carl: "And make sure you are taking your photos. I cannot stress enough how important that is. And stay focused on your intent to succeed, because now you have the added incentive that, as of Jan 1, you could win ten thousands bucks, and get
yourself in the running for a quarter of a million bucks!"
You: "I can't wait to talk about this in my next chat. How will we submit our stories?"
Carl: "As soon as we turn the MyBeachbody club into the revamped Million Dollar Body club, your member page we'll have a Success Story submission button. So the before-and-after pictures plus your "about me" transformation story you feature there will get sent to the submission center. As long as you send your story on January 1st, you have a chance at the first round!"
You: "Do you have anything else up your sleeve?"
Carl: "Plenty. But I'll let you in on that in January."
The age groups we'll choose winners from are: 18-29, 30-39, 40-49, and 50+
MyBeachbody members shouldn't submit until you get more information.
Note: If you have already been acknowledged as a success story - YOU ARE STILL ELIGIBLE TO SUBMIT! Submissions will be accepted using the before/after photos and transformation stories which appear on your MyBeachbody member page. Those submissions will start being accepted around December 27th, and the first month deadline is January 1st.
PS: Turbo Jam ball workout video release announcement coming next week!
