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

These Distributors and their stories have been highlighted on ameo.com and they continue to reach new levels of success each week. Read their inspirational stories below:
Michael J. McLean:
“In 2005 I was introduced to the power of quality essential oils. Initially, I was a little skeptical about their use and the people who were using them. However, it didn’t take long before I was totally convinced of their power. I had several personal experiences that have changed the way I look at natural or alternative health solutions. Once I had these experiences I knew that I would forever be an evangelist for oils. I just needed to find the right company, with the right quality promise, that was committed to uniting the scientific world with the holistic world. When the concept of Améo was introduced to me, I immediately knew that my search was over and that Améo would be my home.
During the last 15 years I have had the opportunity to work within the direct sales industry. I have served in various leadership roles

MonaVie – MORE Project Artist Jhonatan Rolemberg Rises Out Of A Void
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
On May 10, 1993, was born into a kind of forsaken poverty.
In a city called São Gonçalo, outside of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Jhon grew up in an abandoned apartment without running water, energy, or a working toilet. That was the situation inside. Outside, in the bairro, prostitution, drug trafficking, and casualties surrounded him. Ever burned into Jhon’s mind was the time when he saw a person die right in front of him.
You can certainly see why others left this place behind. But, it was in this void that Jhon lived with his parents. Adding to the emptiness, Jhon had zero friends. His father was a bit of a handicap and a troublemaker, so the other kids steered clear of the Rolembergs—proof that ostracism can thrive anywhere.
“I’d always imagine myself getting out of that situation.”
As Jhon slunk into exclusion, two blessings emerged:
He was able to avoid the world of drugs and trafficking. He just never saw himself as being a part of that. “I’d always imagine myself getting out of that situation,” Jhon said.
His mind and dreams began to flourish as he started to draw.
As he continued to draw, the dreams became bigger and bigger.

Isagenix Makes Shape Magazine’s Top 10 Cleanse Diets
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
2014 was the year of the cleanse diet. Celebrities swear by them and more and more people have been getting in on the action, whether it’s to detox diet, brighten skin, lose weight, or get a fresh start. And nowhere is that more evident than in Yahoo’s Year in Review, where different health cleanses consistently topped the site’s most popular stories lists. Here, the year’s top 10 most popular cleanses:
1. A Colon Cleanse. Our colons have the important, albeit kind of icky, job of taking digested food from our stomachs, pulling the nutrients out, and excreting waste. While for most of us, our colons perform their duties just fine, every once in a while you might feel like giving a helping hand, er, enema. Colon cleanses come in many different types, methods, and prices, but the main idea is to use water, fiber, and/or supplements to flush all the gunk out of your intestines so you can start fresh. Considering a colonic? Read our expert’s take first.
2. A Liver Cleanse. Just like our colons, our livers play an important role in ridding our bodies of unwanted toxins. The three-pound organ sits just under your ribs and is responsible for cleaning your blood. Some people believe that eating
