THE                      TAKEOVER TUESDAYS                          social media




              Becoming an entrepreneur is an incredible privilege.
          It takes inspiration. It’s about learning from others. It’s about listening to yourself.

      How are you aligning your dreams with the Body by Vi™ Challenge?
                            This month’s issue explores belief and change.

          You’re invited to believe. To be passionate. To take action.
                           To face your fears. To step into your own power.
                                   And to know, it’s all your choice.

                           	 This summer, the Body by Vi™ Community hosted the World’s Largest Magazine Debut Party to
                           celebrate the latest issue of Success From Home magazine! Over 300 Challenge parties were thrown
                           simultaneously, as more than 75,000 happy people partied across the U.S. and Canada.


                           Here’s what some Promoters had to say about the event…
                           “Around 750 in Charlotte, NC. Only 300 were expected. Had to expand
                           the room.”

                           “Love it! What a great opportunity for us all to improve ourselves and the
                           lives of others! I believe!!!”

Body by Vi Challenge™ goals can be (or include) weight-loss, building lean muscle or improving energy and endurance. Every participant should consider his or her personal circumstances and create goals that are both reasonable and achievable. ViSalus™ discourages
rapid and extreme weight-loss, which can actually be unhealthy, and emphasizes that safe and sustainable weight-loss is never achieved without exercise and sensible eating. Persons with preexisting medical conditions should consult a health care professional
before embarking on any fitness, health or weight-loss program.

  • 10. 5-star corner Sarah & barry midthun Entrepreneurial Minds Sarah and Barry Midthun always have had entrepreneurial minds. They strategized, tried different marketing opportunities and delved into more traditional self-employment options, before discovering Sarah & Barry Midthun never gave up on the Body by Vi™ Challenge. “For seven, eight, nine years, we sat in the hot tub every night, wondering what we could do to get ahead,” becoming successful entrepreneurs. says Barry. “We’ve done a lot of things. All of our experiences—ups by WENDY RUDMAN and downs—have led us to the perfect opportunity, with the perfect product. We just had to find the right vehicle.” At the time, Barry was a full-time police officer and Sarah a stay-at-home mom with three children under the age of 5. “It’s been our dream to get Barry home, so we could do something together,” Sarah says. “We imagined it but now it’s here and it’s reality.” “ We pay a lot for ward. The more you give, the more you get back.” —Sarah Retiring Early ViSalus™ not only energized their finances, it helped them each lose 15 pounds in their first 90-Day Challenge. “It really surprised us,” Sarah says of their success both financially and in losing weight. “Twenty-seven days in, we earned our BMW. In 60 days, we matched my husband’s annual income as a police officer.” After less than a year, Barry, who was only 45 at the time, walked into the police station where he’d worked for 15 years and announced he was retiring. Now, they bring in more in one month with ViSalus than he earned in a year. “We decided this was something we were passionate about,” Sarah says. “We loved what it all stood for.” “It’s life-changing,” Barry adds. “We imagined it but now it’s here and it’s reality.”­—Sarah Giving Back The couple and their three young children spent much of the summer and Fall 2011 driving across the country to support their team members, living out of the RV they bought with their Challenge Promoter bonus checks. “We decided to help our team launch in different states and get them going,” Barry says. And as they reached out to their team, their own business grew, taking them up the ranks until they hit 5-Star Ambassador status in March. We reinvest AT A GLANCE quite a bit into our team,” Sarah says. “We pay a lot forward. The Status: Five-Star Ambassadors more you give, the more you get back.” Their days and weeks focus State: Minnesota around promoting The Challenge, but their income has brought them Key to Success: Post positive on Facebook.
