Visalus | ViSalus By Shay

Starting Over, It’s Time For Me

Sometimes as a mom, girlfriend, blogger, social media guru and everything in between you lose sight of your goals. We had a loss in the family and going through old things,moving and just forgetting about myself I have kind of “let go.” So here I am. Back from New York because we went to kind of renew us, see if we could really work and for his birthday too. Either way, I’m back and New York really got to me. It made me realize that I am a serious slacker and hanging out with Chad’s lawyer and doctor friends made me feel very sad. As they talked about going on vacation after vacation. I realized that I wanted that. I wanted to go to Australia, England, San Diego, on a cruise and so much more is on my bucket list. I want to take my kids to Disney World and to other places that they will remember and if we continue like this, its just not possible. As I was leaving the city, I realized 2 things.

I never want to tell my children that we don’t have money for something. I remember hearing that with my kids and that is not fair to them. It’s not their fault that I was/am irresponsible. They shouldn’t have to lack the traveling, finer things of life and honestly, I don’t want to lack that either.
I need to stop being lazy. I want to lose this last 15-20lbs I have, I want to be a better mother, writer, Visalian, friend, and so much more. I have been living kind of half-assed through life and I don’t want to be like everyone who is doing the same thing. I want to help people get over their fears and to stop sabotaging themselves.

I will start with my body and weight loss. I know I cannot control where my weight loss comes from, but I can control my eating habits, working out and how I take care of myself. So I will be restarting my 90 Day Challenge. I will post my new measurements tomorrow. I’m going to prove to myself that I’m not going to quit and I’m going to take care of myself. If you feel like you are ready to start your challenge, to push yourself please message me. Like me, talk is just talk until you put actions in to place. You deserve more than just wanting to lose weight, stop making the excuse of I dont’ have self-control. You do, I do, and we choose to make excuses. Come with me on this no excuses challenge and bust your butt with me before the holiday season to look great in front of your family and friends. While I would love for you to choose my challenge, the Visalus challenge, I ultimately want you to challenge yourself. You deserve life, not just waking up and doing the same thing over and over again, but to wake up excited! To wake up happy, feel good and to be motivated. I challenge you to explore yourself, your passions and what you want as a person. Not a mother, brother, sister, son, daughter or whatever…. but as you. Create a “to-live” list. Not a bucket list, but a live list, a be happy list or whatever you want to call it. Create it! Create you . Stay tuned for some awesomeness coming your way!

But You Don’t Know What I’ve Been Through….

By Shay 2 Comments

I hate hearing that. You’re right, I don’t know what you have been through. I don’t live your life every day. I don’t even know where you live, LOL. But I have been through my own stuff. You don’t know where I’ve been and I’ve been through a lot.

At one point, I didn’t know how I was going to pay my electricity and it even got shut off. I was on food stamps, I didn’t know how I was going to pay for gas to get to work, I racked up credit cards and my credit was shot. Who cares where you were… where are you going? It doesn’t matter what I did back them, I am focused on what I am going to create for my health, future and my kids.

Something had to click inside of me. I deserved more, my kids deserved more. This weekend, Jason O’Toole (he went from being over $100,000 in debt to making over $100,000 PER MONTH) from ViSalus gave the best speech about people.

He said something that really sat with me and I hoe it sits with you. He said, “How you do this, is how you do everything else.” If you give up on this, I bet you’ve tried to start and stop 1000x times. Stop giving up, stop quitting on yourself, stop quitting on your kids.

Oh now here you go right? But that’s not what I’m doing and I am certainly NOT giving up on my kids. Bull shit. Every time you tell your kids you can’t do something, you can’t afford it, you can’t go out to play with them because you’re tired, you can’t do this, you can’t do that, then you’re giving up on them.

Stop living in the past, stop giving up, stop MAKING EXCUSES.

Want to lose weight and you want someone to hold you accountable? I’m here. I’m not going to listen to your excuses, but I am here to help you become better. Create your opportunities for you, for your family and for your health.

Why Should I Promote The Challenge?

By Shay Leave a Comment

I usually share every few months why I promote the Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge and why I share this with people. I think if people have someone who is completely transparent about their why, it helps them to make an informed decision.

Before promoting the challenge I did Melaleuca, Ameriplan, Avon, Mary Kay and I looked in to Shaklee, Advocare, Thirty-One, Pink Zebra, Isagenix and Reliv and I researched many others. I already invested hundreds of dollars in to other companies and there was no way in hell Chad would let me “waste” money on something I was not going to do.

The Decision

My friend Jennifer sent it to me and I was skeptical to take it, but I did and I joined Visalus because of how tasty they were. Yes, they really do taste like cake . I tried it while I was pregnant and I took it while I was breastfeeding. But when I did my true 90 Day Challenge I lost 19lbs in 3 months and I didn’t even do what I was supposed to do the whole time. So I knew they worked and after going to an event and seeing the people, seeing the founders, it really hit me. I have a product that can change lives — how amazing is that?

The Business

Anyway, I wanted to talk about the business side a little bit and why its so successful. ViSalus has done nothing but grow. While other companies are excited about 50,000 new members each month, we are boasting over 100,000 new members each month. For the first quarter of 2012 we have over 500,000 people join the challenge. Not to mention, those are just for the US and Canada, we haven’t even gotten in to foreign countries yet. Just imagine where we’re going to go once that happens.

Here is why you want to work with us

We are recession proof. People will ALWAYS need/want to lose weight. The shakes give you energy, give you so much nutrition and guess what? They really do taste like cake
Because of our social media tools, we are leading competition. Avon is a 12 billion dollar company (not just from the US, that is from worldwide) we are striving for 1 billion in the US and Canada alone. No other direct sales company has done that. Social media has truly brought us out. People think that ViSalus is everywhere because it is all over their Facebook from so many people. Jump on before we go global and enjoy helping people while earning money
In 27 months we have created over 600 six or seven figure income earners. What other company has done that? Jump on while we have momentum, this is definitely where you should be.
The founders are so transparent and heartfelt. I have never seen such genuine founders. They really do care about people and are clearly showing it. Seeing Ryan Blair on stage talking about his mom and his son still brings tears to my eyes.
We have one of the best compensation plans out there, want to know more about it, contact me at (262) 372-2140.
You will get great support. My team and I will walk you through hosting your first party and show you how to utilize social media to make a great profit.

Those are just a few reasons I am sooooo grateful for this company. And yes, I needed all the o’s to signify how grateful I am . Not only are we changing lives with weight loss, but we are changing lives with the business side. I went to the Chicago event last weekend and one of the Ambassadors on stage said that she was pregnant with baby number 4 and they were going in to foreclosure on their house before they found Visalus, now they are making over 10,000/month and helping people do the same, helping charities and even best, their children do not have to go through the financial struggles they were going through a year or two ago.

Are You Ready?

You need to ask yourself:

Do you want to make more money? Or bring a spouse home? Or stop working outside the home to take care of your kids?
Are you willing to do something different to get the results you want? Are you ready to conquer your fears, are you ready to take control and truly show yourself what you’re capable of?

Now I want to say, I love all the products above or I wouldn’t have looked at their companies to promote. However, I do believe with the training, young and experienced ownership and how we utilize social media, relationships, what we teach and believe — well that is why we are truly successful.

If you are ready to be better, want more or take control please check out this video, it is a little longer, about 25 minutes and if you are really ready to change your life, message me or call me at (262) 372-2140.

Don’t Miss Your Life

By Shay Leave a Comment

This song really hit home with me. I hope it resonates with you too. So many of us feel that the 9-5 is what we are supposed to do. But what do we miss with our kids? Our life?

I know some of us don’t have it to the extent Phil Vassar would, but still. We go through these motions believing that we need to do so much, be so much for our kids. All our kids want is for us to be there. That is what they want, for us to BE THERE.

This opportunity that ViSalus and the Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge has given me is my life back. I love being able to stay home with my kids. We are so close to qualifying for our BMW. That means that ViSalus would give us $600/month for our BMW that we choose or for Chad, since he wants his dream truck, he would get $300/month towards any car that he wants. Pretty cool, right?

We get paid weekly, with bonuses and we get to help people. One of my friends lost 9lbs in one week from taking 2 shakes, 3 snacks and one meal of whatever she wanted. Because of me helping people and not being afraid, she lost that weight. BOOM!

All of that to say, there are some amazing opportunities out there for you, for your family. I know its scary trying something new and putting yourself out there, but remember your why. Don’t be afraid to take the next step if you want to start your own business or promote something as easy as the challenge and make money while helping people.

I would love to hear about your dreams. If working is your dream, what is your dream job? If owning your own business is your dream, what kind of business? Share with me, would love to hear it!
