Visalus 2 Star Ambassador’s, Dallas And Wendy Gareau, Earn 500k In Lifetime Earnings

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Dallas and Wendy Gareau accepted the PROJECT 10™ Challenge in 2011 because they wanted to lose weight and feel better—but what resulted was much more than a health transformation.
In 2014, the couple broke more than $500K in lifetime earnings. It’s a milestone that marks an impressive achievement, as they’re driven by more than monetary rewards.

“We never started promoting The Challenge for money or to build a business,” says Dallas. “We only started because we wanted to see if our 90-day Challenge and drinking the Vi-Shape® Shake would work for us.”  

Dallas has dropped 46 lbs. and Wendy has shed 30 lbs.* since starting their Challenge. This incredible transformation inspired them to share their story with every person they could.

“With zero to minimal experience, we built an entirely organic business,” stated Wendy. “We have been blessed so abundantly, and we want to pay it forward.”

Prosperity for Others
“The biggest reward promoting Vi is working with others and knowing our own success is revealed through helping those we care about,” says Wendy.
In fact, she has helped her sister and uncle lose more than 200 lbs. collectively* and gain financial freedom by introducing them to the same PROJECT 10 Challenge that changed her own life.

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Houston resident Tania Rivera always had problems maintaining her weight. She especially struggled mentally and physically after losing her stepfather and the family’s home in a short period of time.
After that, Tania lost her purpose in life, gained weight, and became anti-social.

“I was a size 12, weighed 177 lbs., and lacked confidence in myself,” says Tania.

However, having been raised by a single mother, Tania learned to overcome adversity. She switched her mentality and was determined to lose weight.
“I decided to stop creating barriers for myself. I wanted to see how far I could go,” she says.
Tania blocked herself from all distractions, hit the gym, and pushed herself passed her limits until she went down to 148 lbs. But during the holiday season, she had trouble maintaining her weight again.
It was then when she saw Buddy Rivera, the 2013 North American Vi Model, on Facebook. His amazing results immediately inspired her to accept The Challenge.
Tania joined Vi and realized she was able to maintain her weight thanks to the support of Vi’s Community and diverse line of products.

Visalus Germany’s Youngest Regional Director Speaks On Excuses

When Lucas Hoffmann first heard of Vi in North America, he felt like the Vi system would make all the difference in his life. As soon as Vi pre-launched in Germany, Lucas was excited and determined to take part in Challenging the World.
With the money he got for Christmas and some of his savings, Lucas went to the Influencer Summit where he met Vi Co-Founder and Global Ambassador Nick Sarnicola. Nick was so charismatic and convincing that Lucas spent all of his savings for an Executive Promoter System, and accepted The Challenge.
Inspired by Nick Sarnicola and IFBB Pro Bodybuilding Champion and Regional Director Daniel Hill, Lucas—at only 18 years old—quickly became Germany’s youngest Regional Director. He earned his BMW… and he didn’t even have his driver’s license yet!
Lucas has always been very active and interested in helping people lead healthy lifestyles, but he knew that many health and fitness programs were too complicated and time-consuming.
However, he felt that The Challenge was something everyone could do, and tried it out for himself. He took on his first Challenge with the goal to become fit and more active. He soon built 10 lbs. of lean muscle, which made it even easier to
