by Ted Nuyten • January 11, 2015 • 0 Comments

The ViSalus Co-Founders, Ryan Blair, Blake Mallen and Nick Sarnicola, have often maintained that “equity” is the most valuable asset one can have in business. Starting in 2015 they made 6% of the shares available for distributors.
According to the ViSalus website:
“Beginning in 2015, the year we celebrate our 10th year, leading Promoters will have an opportunity to earn from a special Founders’ Equity Incentive Plan and share in the company’s future success together.
The Founders Equity Incentive Plan provides Promoters with an ownership opportunity equivalent to 6% of the company, awarded over 2 years (3% allocated in 2015, and 3% allocated in 2016).
The Plan is shared among 4 Equity Groups, based on your Paid Rank each month.
This is a once in a lifetime chance to own your legacy and create something truly great – not only for today, but for your future. By personally reaching and maintaining leadership ranks of National Director and above, then helping your personally enrolled team do the same, you’ll earn equity in the plan and be able to proudly call yourself a Vi Equity Holder”.

Visalus’ Damien Canerot On Building A Legacy

by Tina Williams • December 9, 2014 • 0 Comments

Damien Canerot was first introduced to Nick Sarnicola and Blake Mallen when he was a student in college. That’s also when he attended his first National event—almost a decade ago.
Years of loyal perseverance have gotten him to where he is today—a thriving 1-Star Ambassador worth over $500K, living in California’s Bay Area. Here are 14 of our favorite Damien Canerot quotes… dare we say many of which are words to live by.
1. It’s been special to see the evolution of ViSalus over the years, from very modest beginnings to everything we’ve now established as a Challenge culture.
2. I made the decision to go for it. I admit to achieving slower success as a first-time Promoter, but I had the opportunity to be mentored and surrounded by aspiring entrepreneurs.
3. I’ve faced challenges and success as a Promoter over the last decade. It’s been both rewarding and humbling at the same time.
4. The Vi-Life has been rewarding to say the least. I’ve traveled to many new cities across the country, taken cruises, and had countless celebrations.
5. Vi provides a big gift people don’t always talk about: an atmosphere for personal growth and development.
6. My advice for anyone looking to achieve success in any area of life is to be clear about what you

Visalus’ 3-Star Ambassador & New $1 Million Lifetime Earner Neil Bellville On Not Quitting

by Tina Williams • November 22, 2014 • 0 Comments

Perhaps just as strong as Neil Bellville’s ‘Why’ is his favorite saying: “It’s always too early to quit.” It’s a powerful motivational force that has led this 3-Star Ambassador to achieve over $1 million in lifetime earnings with Vi.
In asking Neil about his success, and how his story embodies each of the three Vi Foundational Pillars of Life, Health & Prosperity.
On Prosperity
To put things in perspective, what took Neil 14 years to make a little over a million in the industry took him just four years to make a million with Vi. He credits his success to his passionate team dedicated toChallenging the World… 10 lbs. at a Time.
“I was taught a long time ago that it takes teamwork to make dream work,” said Neil. In fact, he values his team so much that helping them achieve their goals is way more important than his.
He also believes in Vi events and the impact they’ve had on his life and business—whether it’s on a local, regional or national level. “I do not miss an event, period. It’s the #1 belief-building tool that we can have. It’s filled with positive energy from likeminded people. There’s nothing else that will build the belief tank like an

Industry Veterans, Todd And Christina Perry, Return To ViSalus: “We’ve Come Home.”

by Tina Williams • November 13, 2014 • 0 Comments

A lot can change in a year. Just ask Todd and Christina Perry. As longtime network marketers, this power couple from North Carolina has seen their fair share of opportunities, learning experiences and challenges. And the past 12 months, in particular, have brought many of them—some of which were quite painful.
In November 2013, Todd and Christina, who had joined ViSalus in June 2011 and were 5-Star Ambassadors, decided to leave the company to pursue other interests and opportunities. “When we initially came aboard, we were in a partnership with another couple,” says Christina. “But, it wasn’t a healthy business relationship with them, and we became disillusioned. We made the mistake of listening to negative noise from companies and talking to people we shouldn’t have. And so we left.”
During the months that followed, as Todd and Christina pursued other industry opportunities and tried to focus forward, they couldn’t help but continually look back. With hindsight came feelings of regret.

“In our exit, we felt that our team would really be taken care of,” says Christina, “but what we didn’t anticipate was the pain we had caused our team. This isn’t a traditional business we’re in… it’s a people business. And we realized

Leadership Interview With Visalus’ 1-Star Ambassadors Lattoia Andrews & Cornelius Massey

by Tina Williams • November 8, 2014 • 0 Comments

Lattoia Andrews & Cornelius Massey speak about their “all in” mindset and how the possibility of reaching the $250K Lifetime Earnings mark was closer than ever.
Today, they’re past that goal and still rising.
Vi: What does it mean to be $250K Vi Lifetime Earners?
Lattoia & Cornelius: It’s an amazing feeling. It shows our hard work… but most importantly it means that for every dollar we’ve earned, someone else’s life was impacted, someone else on our team is one step closer to hitting his or her Challenge goal, and someone else is one step closer to generating additional income. It’s not just about the earnings, but whose life are you looking to impact?
Vi: How has achieving this milestone made an impact on your Vi business?
L&C: Hitting this milestone is truly a blessing, and it has inspired so many people that it can be done. We were just regular individuals with a military background, but we had a hunger for more and helping others. We went all in. We’ve been able to show people that the possibilities are endless when you dedicate as much effort as possible to something you believe in. Belief plus action will always equal results!
