Hey Everyone!

Today, I’m thrilled to announce my amazing new (to me) company, Visalus.

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned about being in the health and wellness business for 3.5 years, and joined a company with a KILLER system and KILLER product.

The Visalus 90 Day challenge takes the guesswork out of knowing what to eat, when to eat, how to eat, and how to be supported when you “fall off the wagon”. It is brilliant in it’s simplicity.

Visalus has really added some cool features to this program, (e.g. online support groups, tons of Facebook support, daily phone calls, a great “team” support atmosphere, a robust website where you can get any information you need, when you need it, a great iPhone and mobile app, etc.) and we’re giving away bonus gifts to anyone who joins our team. Be sure to read the bottom of this post for more details.

The company has been around for a long time — nearly 8 years. However, 3 years ago, they shifted gears and created the famous Visalus Body by Vi 90 Day Challenge.  It’s as mainstream as it gets, with celebrities, athletes, and people just like you on the program.

At the time, I was with another company (You remember…you were on my team) and very busy making sure people had success there.  I loved being in that business…the business of helping people.

After a while though, I kept seeing all of these references to “Body by Vi”, and “90 day challenge”.  I kept seeing testimonials, all over Twitter.

Enter the Visalus Social Media Juggernaut

It seemed like every time I’d open Twitter, I’d see this constant stream of how great people were doing/feeling on the Visalus Body by Vi 90 Day Challenge:

Tough to resist, huh? 

I’d helped hundreds (almost 800, in fact) of people lose over 7200 lbs in 3 years, and helped athletes be better/stronger/faster.  Heck, anything that good nutrition could solve, I was busy solving. The problem was, the process itself was complicated. The products were doing some pretty complex things in the body, and required a certain amount of knowledge and understanding just to complete the system.  Even if you were fully committed to it, which a lot of people had a problem doing.  We had a lot of mom’s in our business, and asking someone to do a two-day cleanse, however healthy, was a burden when they were trying to feed a whole family on a budget, and fit it into their schedule.

The process was great, but it made me think: “If the entire system were simpler, it would be easier for people to adopt it into their lives, and consequently, stick with it and achieve their goals.”

It’s gotta be “compact”, portable, and less-restricted than what I’m currently doing.

It’s gotta be easy to use, and easy for my people to share it with their friends when they have success.

It’s got to be affordable, even to the point of getting it for free every month.

I had some reservations though.  After all, the products I was using were the best, most premium ingredients on the market, right?

I was worried that Visalus products wouldn’t be perceived as being as premium, or as good.  I compared them, ingredient by ingredient, with my previous company.

But then I had an epiphany:  These products aren’t fighting against each other.  They are fighting, in tandem, against obesity.

The Visalus war on obesity

People gain weight due to a number of reasons.  Some are physical.  Most are psychological.  We relate things in our life as “stressful”, and eat when we’re stressed.  Somehow that has become a thing that’s readily accepted in society.  You can say things like “I lost my job, and was really stressed, so I gained 25 lbs”, and people accept that as a reasonable explanation.  That wasn’t always the case.  Do you remember what life was like when you were a kid?  We were outside a lot more.  We spoke a lot more.  We supported each other more.

There are a number of obstacles that many people perceive are in the way of losing the weight they’ve put on in the last few years:

Time
They don’t have the “time” to eat well.  They are running out the door to their work, or trying to manage a family of four, get the kids to school, the spouse to their work, make sure the house is clean, etc.  Often, these “heroes of the homefront” put themselves last in a long list of caretaking.

Money
Often, people will cite not having enough money as the reason they aren’t eating nutritious food.  In a way, they have a point:  non-GMO, organic foods can be 30%-50% more expensive than their processed counterparts.  When faced between a $20 lunch at Whole Foods that takes 20 minutes, how much more appealing is a $6 meal at a fast-food place in 5 minutes.  We’re a lazy culture, and the path of least resistance often wins.

Motivation
Motivation and consistency is a killer of any type of lifestyle change.  It’s very difficult to change one’s lifestyle, especially with little to no support at home.  People are generally resistant to change, so when an eating program wants you to change your schedule entirely, or prepackage a number of healthy meals on a Sunday to eat throughout the week, it can be a tall order.

Cultural Acceptance
If you were the one person in your hometown that was overweight, you’d be really self-conscious about it.  That’s human nature.  But because a huge number of us are also overweight or obese, it has reached a level of cultural acceptance that makes it less likely that you’re going to want to do something about it.

So, my challenge was to find a system or company that was quick and easy to use, was affordable, kept people motivated and “in the game”, and provided a culture of support and service for when people needed it.

Enter, the Visalus 90 Day Challenge

Third Party Validation

For me, everywhere I went, I kept seeing references to The 90 Day Challenge, even amongst celebrities and professional athletes.  Keep in mind that these aren’t paid endorsements, and they just used the products because they like what they do to their bodies!  Celebs like Jessica Biel, Jenny McCarthy, Athletes like Shannon Sharpe & Kris Humphries, rockers like Chris Daughtry, and hundreds more…there was no escape!

Working with this team

The thing that ultimately attracted me to Visalus was this incredible team that’s been assembled.  Some of the best internet marketers in the business are my direct team.  I mean, people that are making a staggering 100k/month in residual income.  To be mentored by those people is absolutely incredible, and awe-inspiring! I literally learn something new every day with them, not only in traditional network marketing techniques, but more modern internet marketing and automatic recruiting.  And that is something I’m not used to…Visalus doesn’t require a bunch of coaching to get through the program.  It’s very self-contained in that way.  Plus, I can’t believe how unbelievably supportive everyone is.  For instance…if someone on the team is up for a promotion to the next “level”, the entire team will rally and do whatever they can to make sure they hit it.  It’s really awesome, and quite refreshing!  Visalus definitely means teamwork.

Seeing the results

Literally, I had so many hundreds of “before and after” photos I could have put here, so I just randomly chose a few.  The bottom line?  This stuff works. 

Pricing

One thing I love about Visalus is how affordable it is.  With my previous company, most of the incentives were wrapped around the $300 package.  I like that people can jump in and get healthy for whatever it is they can afford at that time.  Here’s a quick picture of the lineup:

Empower Network…good for network marketers?  I’ve been in network marketing for a few years now.  My journey to this world is pretty well-documented.  I think it’s a great way for someone (especially if they’re struggling with finances) to start a good business from home.  If you want to find out a bit about my journey, you can watch this video.  One of the greatest things about network marketing is that it really pushes you to learn relevant business skills. I feel like I’ve been on this great path of personal development for many years now, and I’m a better person for it.  One of the absolute requirements of starting a network marketing business is being open to new things. If I’m not in a constant state of learning, then something is wrong.

Recently, I was introduced to Empower Network.  At first I “poo-poo’ed” it, because I was already busy enough with my transition from one company to another (I had just recently joined Visalus) and didn’t want to learn anything new.  Besides…I didn’t really “get” it.  But, after a fortunate “bounce”, Empower Network had their annual rah-rah event right here in my hometown of San Diego, so I went and checked it out.  Needless to say, I was very impressed, and decided that I would be missing a huge opportunity if I didn’t use Empower Network to drive traffic to my Visalus business.  So far, it’s been phenomenal, both in the learning aspects and the lead-generation aspect.

Here are 5 reasons why everyone in network marketing should consider Empower Network.

1.  Empower Network teaches you the basics of internet marketing - Internet marketing (or IM) is the process of using the internet to (duh) market your business.  But there’s a lot to it.  It’s basically the art of learning the techniques so that when someone types a word into a search engine, your page is one of the first pages that comes up.  The more people that see your page, the more people will click on your “offer” and give your their email address.  Once you have their email address, you have a lead that you can follow up with.  Sounds easier than it is, believe me.  I’ve been studying internet marketing for years now, and very intensely for the last 8 months or so since I moved here to San Diego and started producing this podcast.  However, it seemed like, while I had a grasp on the entire concept, it was only getting me 80% of the way there.  But the 20% was where all the money was being made.  Despite all of the courses I spent hundreds of dollars on, the “powers that be” were hanging onto the real secrets of how they make their money.  When I joined Empower Network and went all in (That means I signed up for all of the courses) I learned the very things that had eluded me for months.  It was the “secret sauce”, if you will.  Finally, I learned the true way of getting complete strangers to be engaged with my website and want to find out more about what I was doing.  I was finally generating multiple leads per day online.  All because Empower Network taught me the basics of internet marketing.
2. Empower Network Provides KILLER backlinks -  The process of linking back to one website from another is called a backlink. The more backlinks from important sites that are pointing back to your site, the more important Google thinks you are, and thus ranks you higher when people search for your keywords.  In fact, I did a whole post on this on my Passive Income Newbie website. See what I did there?  I just gave myself a backlink from this website to my other website.  Backlinks are very important in how your page ranks with Google. In fact, those words, “Page Rank”, are very important to know.  You see, each larger website is assigned a PR (Page Rank) number.  The higher the number, the more “link juice” that website has, meaning that Google pays more attention to it.  The problem is, it’s not easy to get a high PR website to link back to your little blog.  They know how powerful their website is, so they don’t just give that kind of stuff away.  Imagine this…Apple.com is a PR 9 website, which is about as powerful as it gets.  If they said “Hey Mike…we’re going to post a link to your blog on our homepage, and leave it up there for a while”, my website would blow up beyond belief, and I’d be sipping margs on an island somewhere.  So, the idea is to get as many high PR websites to link to your blog as you can.  That’s where Empower comes in.  Empower is a high PR website that you have complete control of . Meaning, you can write a blog post on Empower, link it back to your blog, and enjoy all the benefits (and search engine juice) that a high-profile link can provide. And you can do it as much as you want!!!  Link a million links if you want to! They’ll all help!  That right there, is worth the price of admission, folks.
3. Empower Network always keeps people in the funnel – Remember, just like your network marketing business, having people in the “sales funnel”  (or pipeline) is critical to your success.  Sometimes people drop away from your products or services, and you want to make sure you have someone to replace them.  Empower network is a really turn-key solution built by some of the most genius internet marketers in the business.  There are a few things to connect at the beginning, but then it’s just plug & play! You’ll always have another lead to follow up on.  In fact, I didn’t even realize it, but I’d had 6 people fill out my form and their information was just waiting for me last night.  I had no idea!
4. Empower Network provides an excellent, quick additional income stream – Empower Network is an affiliate network, meaning that when one person purchases it from another, the seller gets a commission. But…here’s the rub:  Empower Network pays out 100% commissions.  For example.  Lets say you just dip your foot in the water and only sign up for the $25/month blogging platform, with the affiliate program.  If you find one single person on your team (We do it in order of our downline…if we enroll someone in our business and they want to do Empower, we follow the same upline/downline hierarchy to keep things simple) who gets the same package, yours is free.  No fuss, no muss.  It’s just…free every month.  And that pay structure goes all the way up the line.  If you have someone that comes in “all in”, and pays the $1625 (it’s sooooooooo worth it), that $1625 goes right up to you.  There’s a little more nuance to it, but that’s the jist of it.  It’s a great incentive to get your team on it…you could be making hundreds and thousands of dollars in your first month if your whole team does it with you.
5. Empower Network is completely passive. – You know how, in your network marketing company, everything requires a lot of “hands on” and follow up?  Not the case with Empower.  It’s completely automated.  It’s designed specifically to keep you off the phone and automate everything.  Once it’s set up initially, you just let it rip, and as long as you keep up with your blog posting (which you want to be doing anyway since it provides such nice backlinks) then it will do what it’s intended to do:  Capture leads.

Join the Simple Freedom Empower Network Team

Our Empower Network team is very unique.  We have the top income earners in Empower on our team, and they’ve built a complete system for us to plug into.  You get your Empower Account, then go to the team website, follow the steps laid out, and then walk away. They’ve taken something that might seem complicated to a brand new person and made it a complete no-brainer. If all you did was test the water for a few months, you’d see how powerful it was.  I’ve learned more in this last month or so than in the years of studying internet marketing.

Does Empower Network Make Sense for Everyone?

Well, no. Not if you’re a person that doesn’t like new things.  Not if you’re a person that doesn’t like to learn.  And believe me…if you are a person that doesn’t like online leads, and the ability to build your list and create a proven sales funnel, then Empower Network is definitely not for you.

As for me…I’m going to keep loving that Empower Network link juice, and the hundreds of dollars flowing into my bank account on a weekly basis!

Buy Visalus San Diego California

First of all…I’m obligated to tell you that I’m a slacker.  I am by NO means the most disciplined person on earth when it comes to this kind of thing.  I like my fries, I like my burgers.  If you have no idea what this article is about, start here and follow along.

5 Weeks ago, I was doing a social media training in Kelowna, Canada, and I got a Groupon for a 10 punch pass to a local gym for $35.  This was a gym I was going to join anyway, so it was a no-brainer.  I decided to do a little experiment on myself.  Combining the ideas of the book The Four Hour Body by Tim Ferriss, a nutritional program by Visalus, and a Groupon for a local gym, how might it transform my body in 5 weeks?

For reference, here’s where I started on April 25th, 2011.

I mean…I wasn’t terrible. But there was work to be done, and I was more fascinated with what might happen if I stayed consistent with a program.

I have to say, I wasn’t GREAT in the afternoons.  I always started my days with an Visalus Shake. That was my lifeblood for the day. It gave me consistent energy, and no afternoon crash.  If that day was a gym day, I would usually have the shake first, then head to the gym.  On those workout days, I really got into a routine and had a GREAT workout that was efficient and fast.  In fact, in the time I did this experiment, I spent no more than 20 minutes at the gym each time.  That’s right, I’m saying I spent less than 4 hours TOTAL at the gym in 5 weeks. (20 minutes X 10 trips = 3 hours, 20 minutes total at the gym).  The purpose of this experiment was to show people that you didn’t have to invest a ton of time (or money) to get the results that you are looking for.  What it requires, more than raw hours or money, is consistency.

Anyway, back to “not being great”.  My lunches were very consistent.  I had a steady diet of Qdoba, Illegal Pete’s, or Chipotle for lunch.  Burrito bowls, with no rice, black and pinto beans, a protein, a bunch of vegetables, and usually no cheese or sour cream.  Towards the end I added some light cheese to it, and didn’t notice much of a negative impact.  (As seen by the “After” pictures below.)

The afternoons, however, were a little rough for me.  Because I like working in coffee shops, I was quite tempted by a sweet treat after lunch sometimes.  A piece of coffee cake, the occasional doughnut, a chocolate chunk cookie.  I love me a chai, and sometimes you just have to dip, you know?  I usually tried to compensate for said “failure to adhere” by doing it on a day where I knew I was going to play racquetball or go for a run.  SOMETHING to negate the calories I just took in.  Anyway, here’s a shot of about 3/4 of the way through the program.  At this point, I’d lost about 2.5/3% bodyfat, and could definitely see the leanness in my face:

At this point there were definitive contours around my body, and people were definitely noticing.  My clothes were fitting better, so that was a plus.   I had about 2 weeks left at this point, and was determined to see it through.  In fact, the whole process was absolutely routine, which was what I was shooting for.  Becoming healthier and fit (want to?) doesn’t have to be this arduous process.  It just requires a little commitment.  Those office parties with the cupcakes, or that happy hour with a few beers after work…that will still be there once you get to your goal weight.  It’s far easier to MAINTAIN once you’ve gone through the process, rather than fight yourself as you’re going through the process.  Make sense?

Anyway, the moment you’ve all been waiting for…the after picture:

It really gave me a lot of that “Brad Pitt in Fight Club” body that I was looking for.  I was down about 4% bodyfat (in 5 weeks), feel fantastic, and definitely am hearing some positive compliments from people.  More importantly, having gone through the process, I know what I need to do, and will always be able to “tune” myself to a particular event or tournament.  Needless to say, I’ll never go into a racquetball tournament with a few lbs to lose.  Having the ability to do this is nothing short of amazing…I now have a clear roadmap of products, timing, and routine to follow, and I hope you do to.

If you’d like any information on Visalus, the Four Hour Body, or Groupon, please reach out and say hello.

I’m well into week three of my 5 week experiment, and I have to say, it’s easy.  I’ve completely adapted my lifestyle to this, and am finding it really easy to have an Visalus shake in the morning, a healthy lunch, and a shake for dinner.
