Many viewers who tune in weekly to The Real Housewives of New Jersey television show can’t help but root for cast member, Rosie Pierri. Whether it’s because she’s outspoken and brassy, or just passionate about her family, there’s a refreshing realness about her that connects with a lot of people.
Rosie is not your typical bedazzled Hollywood Housewife—in fact, she’s not one at all. She’s stands up for what she believes, tells it like it is, and occasionally gets her hands dirty. And she’s not afraid to talk about her long-term struggles with being overweight.
Visalus interviews Rosie
Vi: What inspired you to start The Challenge?
ROSIE: I had already begun my weight-loss journey, and went on the ViSalus website and saw all the incredible results of people losing weight and getting fit. I mean, people were really losing a lot of weight! It looked like something that could be right for me. And, the whole charity component and the fact that those results help children (through PROJECT 10 Kids)… that was cool. So, I tried it.
Vi: You’ve definitely lost weight in the past few months. Is it difficult to juggle all that you’re doing with eating right and exercising?

Cala Stadel Is Xyngular’s Second Million Dollar Earner
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Xyngular recently announced their second million dollar earner, Cala Stadel. In an interview, Cala shares with Xyngular the secrets to her success:
My journey started 4 1/2 years ago with a phone call from Jill Yacobucci. Actually 8 calls. (Thank you for not giving up on me Jill!) I had seen success in the industry before but had to walk away when I realized that the dream I was selling just wasn’t attainable for everyone. I do everything from my heart, so I couldn’t bring people to the table unless I knew that they could succeed financially. Jill told me that Xyngular’s health and weight loss products really work and that the pay plan is designed to allow the average person to really make money!
I needed all of the above! I needed another income stream because all of our eggs were in one basket. The economy was down and I have 7 kids to feed. Treating them to a meal out wasn’t even an option. I was overweight and overwhelmed and I needed a way to make an income.
I took the plunge. I knew lots of people who needed energy, stress relief, and/or weight loss and I also knew that there

5 Things Herbalife Wants You To Know
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Over the past two years, shares of multi-level marketing giant Herbalife have been immensely volatile, largely due to the activities of activist hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who has been waging an aggressive campaign against Herbalife’s management, accusing the company of fraud.
At times, his accusations have prompted sharp sell-offs, but more recently, the focus seems to have shifted to Herbalife’s earnings. Last month, shares of Herbalife tumbled after its earnings report came in short of analysts’ expectations.
Management remains confident in its business, and in a subsequent earnings call, pointed out a number of factors investors should be aware of. Below are five of the most important quotes from Herbalife’s most recent earnings call, courtesy of S&P Capital IQ .
The market for its products is growing
Herbalife’s products are, broadly speaking, aimed at helping to facilitate weight loss. A meal replacement shake, Formula 1, is the cornerstone of its portfolio, while it also offers supplements such as metabolism-boosting tea and multivitamins.
So long as global obesity rates remain elevated, Herbalife’s management believes the market for its products is large. Citing a recent study, the company’s CEO Michael Johnson quantified the opportunity for Herbalife.
The Harvard School of Public Health estimates that the worldwide rate of obesity has nearly

Xyngular’s Robin Packard Gets To Executive Level In 3 Months And Loses 90 Pounds
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
In an interview on the Xyngular blog, Robin Packard shares her success story of how she went from Gold Director to Executive in only 3 months:
Robin Packard made over $11,000 last month because she knows how to set goals, and more importantly, how to reach them. In a recent interview we asked her to share a little bit about herself and how she accomplished so much in such a short time.
How were you able to achieve your success thus far?
I’m a highly driven person. Once I set my mind to something I work to make that happen by setting goals and meeting them. I knew that I wanted to be an Executive by the end of July. There were a few days in the end where I was sweating it but I put in the work and saw that dream achieved.
What has your income or Xyngular business provided you?
My family has an expensive hobby, we show cutting horses. We live on a ranch in southwest Kansas but we’re always traveling to shows. Caring for horses, maintaining horse trailers, and constant traveling are all a financial burden. When I first started with Xyngular I was just planning on getting healthy.

mynt welcomed industry leaders Bani and Rachael Holcombe as the newest brand promoters to join its growing company. Since its pre-launch in April, mynt has garnered more than $3 million in product sales and continues to gain momentum leading up to its official launch in early 2015.
Bani and Rachael bring more than 11 years’ industry experience to mynt and have cultivated successful teams in many countries throughout the world. Their focus on others’ success has led to their own, as they are former master distributors and top income earners with previous companies.
“We see a very unique opportunity with mynt,” says Bani. “In our more than 11 years in the industry, we haven’t come across a more effective combination of product, compensation plan, field leadership and company management. There is a level of commitment to individual and group success at mynt that we haven’t seen anywhere else.”
mynt is a new way of doing business in the direct selling industry, and one way that they differentiate themselves is through #myntmoments, which are, in essence, random acts of kindness. The Holcombes are certainly on board with this “pay it forward” mentality. “I absolutely love the way this company reaches out to the community to give
