Bruce Grobbelaar, a Visalus Promoter and legendary goalkeeper for the world-renowned soccer team Liverpool FC, knows a thing or two about winning championships. For example, at Liverpool he won six First Division Leagues, three FA Cups, three League Cups, and one European Cup.
However, after retirement he faced a new challenge: being overweight. But the winning attitude that guided him through his soccer career, plus the support from the Visalus Community, helped him get back to his normal weight—and back to the soccer field.

No, there’s no typo in that last sentence. Monroe grew her business 1,900 percent in four years, with the help of 110,000 consultants in the U.S. and Canada.
The question you’re probably asking now is, How did she do it? It’s a good one, and of course one that doesn’t have a straight-line answer.
So let’s break down the major business decisions that got her to where she is today:
She launched: Monroe, 39, started her business 10 years ago. She was working in insurance and had noticed a bunch of boutiques popping up in her town in Tennessee. The shops had unique products and out-of-the-box gifts, but they all closed at 6 p.m. Monroe had two small children to get home to at night and could never find the time for a shopping trip.
During college, Monroe had worked as a rep selling Pampered Chef products, so she knew how the direct-sales business worked. She also knew no one had really tried it with fashion.
