by  •  • 0 Comments

 
The Direct Selling Organization has published interesting statistics about the growth of the USA Direct Selling Sales Force.

The size of the direct selling sales force increased 5.7% to 16.8 million in 2013, a record high.
The industry experienced a surge of new direct selling independent representatives at the height of the recession.

The U.S. market increase of 3.3% in 2013 continued an upward trend that began after 2009 and brought the industry to a record high.

Fat: The War Is Over

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Time Magazine and MonaVie Nutrition Expert Mark Macdonald Call for Cease-Fire
The “Fat-Free” craze has been scientifically proven to be a bust!
Pathologist Ancel Keys appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in 1961, claiming that saturated fats in the diet clogged arteries and caused heart disease.
In stark contrast, the June 23, 2014, cover of Time Magazine reads, “Scientists labeled fat the enemy. Why they were wrong.”
Read the full article here: Ending the War on Fat
A little bit of vindication for those who have known for years—or all along—that the war on fat was misguided. But it was no easy task being heard over the media marketing campaign that has flooded the airways and our supermarket shelves over the past few decades.
So, today, it’s sweet validation for those—like MonaVie nutrition and fitness expert Mark Macdonald—who have preached moderation and promoted having a healthful balance of protein, fats, and carbs with each meal. “The Time Magazine piece keeps the conversation moving in our direction and helps show why having fat in each meal is so important,” says Macdonald.
Mark Macdonald appeared on Headline News (HLNTV.com) this week with host Mike Galanos to explain how fat can be your friend and why we

Ernest And Sherita Ross – ViSalus Hit $1 Million In Career Earnings

by  •  • 0 Comments

 

With no network marketing experience and no formal sales training, most people would find it easy to say “No” to entrepreneurial opportunities. But, Ernest and Sherita Ross said “Yes.”

They said “Yes” to passion. “Yes” to helping people become healthier through the PROJECT 10™ Challenge. “Yes” to leading team members towards financial freedom. “Yes” to quickly rising the ranks to become Vi (ViSalus)  5-Star Ambassadors and earn the Vi 2013 MVP Award.

And now, Ernest and Sherita can say “Yes” to… $1 million in Vi career earnings in only 24 months*.

Their story shows how dreams can become a reality. They’re the epitome of just keeping it simple, challenging people in inspirational ways, and having a whole lot of fun.

Ernest, in one word, what does becoming a Vi Millionaire mean to you?

Freedom.

Throughout the past couple of years, what’s been one of your most inspirational moments as Vi Promoters?

In March of last year, when we were standing on the Vi Event stage and looking out into the crowd, I [Ernest] realized that it wasn’t just about leading our team… We were now leading Vi. Huge responsibility and huge honor.

What advice would you give people who want to get to where you are?

I’d give them my ABC’s of marketing:

  • ‘A’ is for Ardent. That means you need to have passion.
  • ‘B’ is for Bulletproof. Don’t let the word ‘no’ deter you.
  • ‘C’ for Consistent. Continually work hard and share The Challenge.

What’s one thing that many people don’t know about you in terms of life before Vi?

At one point in my life, I quit dreaming. The best part about joining Vi is that it was the bridge to dream again. And not just dream…but dream bigger. I now have the lifestyle of a professional athlete but the impact of a humanitarian. 

*Results not typical. Achievement in rank and income depends upon many factors such as hard work, determination, financial resources and social contacts.
