Melanie Milletics can be found on page 69 of the September issue of Success From Home Magazine, as a member of the Bimmer Club.

When interviewed for being a top promoter of the Body by Vi Challenge, Melanie Milletics was asked to speak on what being a member of the Bimmer Club meant to her, as a successful Work at Home Mom & entrepreneur.

“Told U So” ! That really says it all for this work at home mom. I’ve been working in the home based business industry since 2000 – but it wasn’t until I came “home” to ViSalus that I finally got the ultimate answer to all of those people along the way who doubted that I’d be successful! The Bimmer club, and its clear message of success is an incredible way to put promoters of the Body By Vi Challenge on a fast track to leadership with confidence that what they are doing is truly phenomenal. And it silences the naysayers… even opening their eyes to the potential of the business plan!

Melanie Milletics qualified for the Bimmer Club in October 2009 and immediately went to work to get a second BMW qualifier in her household. In February 2010 she qualified her husband for the BMW Club as well! ViSalus is all about having twin BMWs in the family driveway! Many husband and wife teams are BMW qualified – effectively wiping out car payments and instead getting $600 a month from ViSalus to pay for their black BMW of choice!

The BMW qualification is actually very ‘low’ in the compensation plan, at just the second level of qualification, Regional Director. This allows those who are just getting started promoting the Body By Vi Challenge to drive a symbol of their success very early on. Promoters of the Challenge say that having the black BMW typically increases their business by 45% right away!

Melanie Milletics is now on a mission to help as many others who are ready to take on their goals to reach a level of success only dreamed of!

Qualifying for the Bimmer Club is really just the beginning of my incredible journey with ViSalus. From the moment I made the decision that this company was the one that I would secure my family’s future with, I knew I’d take this business to 7 figures and beyond! Thanks to incredible support and training from the Success Academy, I’ve learned more over the last few months about how to be successful in this industry than I had in all the years prior.

When asked about her future with ViSalus, Melanie replied:

I will be a 5 Star Ambassador one day ~ its written in the stars! And how will I achieve that goal? Helping others get into the Bimmer Club, of course! I’m looking forward to handing hundreds of people their “Told U So” Plates!

In May of 2010, ViSalus Sciences sent the winners of the Body By Vi Challenge and the top promoters of the Challenge on a free cruise to Baja Mexico with stops in Catalina and Ensenada.
It was truly an incredible time spent with some of the most positive people on the planet!

I flew out to LAX, where I was met by my good friend Susan Moss – whom I happen to have met on Twitter last year! We drove down to the Port at Long Beach and went to the Queen Mary for lunch before I boarded. Susan is one of the most fun & honest people I know, and I’m thrilled to have good people like her in Hollywood!

I hopped on the ship… the second to the last to board and found my cabin so I could prepare for the ViSalus Cocktail reception.
It was wonderful to meet the winners of the first round of the Body By Vi Challenge – the people I’d be spending the next 4 days with!

From a fun day at sea, dinner with conversation so fun my cheeks hurt, to dancing all night – the Vi-Cruise was absolutely incredible!

On Catalina we spent the day with our toes in the sand. We walked the short distance from the dock into town to get some provisions… then made our way to a stretch of sand that we had virtually to ourselves! Our friends went snorkeling… but the waters were a bit cold for this Floridian. Instead I hiked among the rocks and got a good look at the crazy kelp growing thick in the waters. I really think I saw an otter… but I was called crazy woman, so I cant say for sure

Ensenada was wonderful as well! We traveled from the dock to La Bufadora – one of only 4 blowholes on the planet.
The colors were incredible – the algae, the blue waters, kelp- and the contrast of desert flowers. It was totally awesome!

I was with a bunch of crazy adults on vacation… and thus it was inevitable that we would find the biggest & best bar in Ensenada – Pappas & Beer.

Every city across the world should have a spot this cool. The DJ totally rocked – and spending the afternoon dancing in the sun was probably the highlight of the entire trip for me… maybe

Spending the week with the Body By Vi Challenge winners and top promoters was a trip I feel very blessed to have experienced ~ and one I’d love to repeat each and every year! Join me next time

The Body By Vi Community Challenge to feed hungry children was launched in November of 2009. As of April 2010, the Body By Vi Community Challenge has provided over 139,000 meals to children in need across the US, Jamaica and Haiti.  Ryan Blair, CEO of ViSalus, was interviewed by Direct Selling News regarding the Community Challenge.

Excerpt from the Direct Selling News:

“We comprise a diverse community of distributors, so for us, one cause doesn’t fit all,” says Ryan Blair, Founder and CEO of ViSalus. “Instead, we help out locally, wherever our distributors are located.” Their Body by Vi Community Challenge launched last November with a goal to purchase 100,000 meals for local food pantries and Boys & Girls Clubs, wherever their distributors see a need. “This project has exceeded my wildest dreams,” Blair says. “It aligns with the absolute core message to our field, so it is one that really resonates with them.”

The truth is, there really is no way to measure the benefits, because there is no proven connection between a company’s philanthropy and their recruitment and retention numbers. However, most executives will admit there is an intangible benefit, nonetheless. “From an entrepreneurial perspective, it raises the profile of our individual distributor within the community—increases their social capital—and spreads the word about ViSalus and all the good we’re doing,” Blair says.

The bottom line is that, innately, people want to belong to something bigger than themselves. “At ViSalus, we do consider it a tool of sorts,” Blair says. “Everyone’s selling something. If you stand for a cause and stand for helping someone, it helps to differentiate you from the crowd.”

Right from the start, the team of founders at ViSalus set out to create a company that was about more than just profits. The spirit of helping others is a thread that has run through the company from Day One. “Our causes help to shape people’s ‘whys,’ ” Blair says. “Above and beyond running their ViSalus business, our distributors host drives and events to help raise money to send our meal-replacement products to children. We have had overwhelming responses from people that their involvement has made a significant impact on their lives.”

With over 139,000 meals served already – it is clear that the  Body By Vi Community Challenge is a massive success.  If you would like to know how you can participate in the Community Challenge, please contact Community Challenge Leader Melanie Milletics on 727-565-2053.

For those that want all the life enhancing components of the Vi-pak, we have a simple ‘upgrade’ option that can easily be added for a discount, too.

3. What is in the kit?
There are three kits in the Body by Vi™ program.

A. The most preferred kit is the “Transformation” Kit, which gives you the best value and the most product and tools to help you towards your total body transformation. This kit combines 2 pouches of Vi-Shape® Nutritional Shake Mix (60 servings for 2 meals per day, for 30 days), 1 bottle of Vi-Slim® to help burn fat and support lean muscle, 1 box of Vi-Trim® to control hunger, 3 of our most popular Health Flavors for variety, convenience and flavor, Omega Vitals to provide essential oil benefits, and 2 boxes of ViSalus NEURO™ (1 of each flavor) to assist in energy and hydration. The kit also includes a simple log on process and free access to the Vi-Net™ Health Membership site for 30 days, to provide tips, tools recipes, exercise videos and more.

B. The “Shape” Kit is for someone looking to use the Vi-Shape® shake from our TSS Program to help them slim down or tone up. This kit combines 2 Vi-Shape® Nutritional Shake mix pouches to provide 60 balanced meals over 60 days. It also includes two boxes of Health Flavor Mix-Ins for variety and nutritional support, along with the Vi-Net™ Health Membership site for 30 days, to provide tips, tools, recipes, exercise videos and more.

5. Is it expensive?
No. In fact, it can SAVE you money. The program provides 2 full meals, and all the nutrition you need to be healthy and help transform your body. The cost per day for the program is less than many people spend on ONE fast food lunch, or breakfast on the go. And it provides much more nutrition and health support, for maximum transformation.

6. Do I need to exercise?
The program is designed to help you lose weight, even if you don’t exercise. However, to really transform your body and get in great shape, we do recommend exercise. This is why we provide two types of exercise plans – one for the person just getting started, and one for the person that wants a firmer physique. There are also instructional videos online for more information and education on how to exercise.

7. How do I maintain my weight?
It’s simple! Once you have reached your goal, transition to our “Core” Kit, and save $105 off normal retail prices. The Core kit provides one 30 Serving Vi-Shape® Nutritional Shake Mix to help provide balanced nutrition to start your day. Starting your day with the shake for breakfast helps fuel the body, and helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. The “Core” Kit also includes one box of our Chocolate Cardia Care Health Flavor Mix-In, and one box of Banana Energy Charge Health Flavor Mix-In for added flavor, variety, and nutritional support. There are 2 boxes of ViSalus NEURO™ (one of each flavor) to help you maintain healthy energy and stamina. We then combined this with the life enhancing Vi-pak® for cellular support and defense against aging free radicals, with omega rich oils, glutathione, grape seed extract and more to help you live healthier, and live younger. Once you are at your desired goal, this “Core” Kit can help keep you vitalized.

8. Can I buy the products separately, and not in the kit?
For the best value, the kits provide savings from $32-$123 off normal retail prices. Should you wish to add more products, you can always do so.

9. Can I use only water for the shake?
The shake is great mixed in water for a low calorie, nutrition rich snack. For meals, we suggest that it be blended with non-fat milk, or soy milk for extra protein and nutrient support.

10. Who should take this product?

2009 is officially gone, and I could very easily simply leave it behind me. There were some major personal upheavals that happened, and in the sake of sanity… sometimes you just have to look forward, right? I mean, isn’t that what every personal development book under the sun tells you? Forgive, forget, and move on, lest your own baggage will keep you way, way down?

Sometimes, but not in the case of the story of 2009, and isn’t Melanie Milletics just incredibly LUCKY???

Ha, no way – the harder I work, the luckier I get.

First, a brief explanation of who I am, what I do, and how all the pieces of this 2009 story fit together. I’m a wife, mother, and primary bread winner in the household. Mom’s little home based business became awfully profitable after she learned a the power of List Building. I’m a Network Marketer who generates her own leads online through what people now call Web 2.0, and more recently ‘attraction marketing‘. In plain speak, I have a large subscriber base that is primarily made up of people who are either home business buyers, seekers, or simply curious. I work to entertain said subscribers by posting informative lessons on this here blog… and a good number of those people decide they like me enough to work with me in my Network Marketing company. Those that don’t may decide to buy one of the information products or services I review for them. I’m extremely careful about what I recommend to my subscribers… after all, I want them to like me and stay subscribed I only share those things I have personally used and found to be beneficial, or educational and of value. I’ve been building this list of subscribers since 2006 … and that list is literally GOLD. Its because of that list that much of what you see below was made possible.

So, without further ado, 2009 in video review.

The first video was actually taken in November of ‘08, but its very applicable to this story. See, its all about my getting the best home based business tax course in existence for FREE. Yep, my ‘lucky star’ was shining while I was cruising, and Sandy Botkins handed me Tax Strategies for Business Professionals, a course worth about a grand. I won it – and it really made a difference in how I tracked my business income and expenses in 2009. After all, I want to KEEP as much of the money I earn as possible.

I actually am pretty ‘lucky’. I just expect that great things will happen to me, and that life will be sweet. Most of the time I get what I expect. Imagine that…

In early 2009 I decided to expand ‘Me Inc’ and my online real estate. Since I had been building my own list since 2006, it made perfect sense to start MLM List Building Secrets. I also started to provide training webinars for my subscribers to teach them the methods I had used to become the top enroller in my company using 100% online marketing methods.

In the spring of 2009 the Renegade Network Marketer, Ann Sieg, announced the merging of the Renegade System with with Mike Klinglers Marketing Merge. She asked me to be a coach for the system and to provide exclusive training on my expertise, MLM list building. They ran a affiliate promotion to enroll Renegade Professional students, and I was the #1 affiliate for leads generated, and in the top 3 for sales.

The video is actually a thank you to my friend Mike Dillard ~ for it was his Magnetic Sponsoring course that I purchased back in 2005 that really changed my money pit of a home business into a cash cow. It’s also what helped me to become the #1 woman affiliate in the MLM niche

As the Renegade Professional and the launch of Mike Dillard’s Better Networker increased the number of Network Marketers who were attempting to build their business online, it became clear to me that there was alot of confusion about ‘best practices’. Since I had been studying top internet marketers since 2001, I had a very clear idea of how to best set up a home based business online. I felt an overwhelming need to tell everything I knew, and knew I could help those who were struggling to establish themselves online to get it done right the first time. I created a free membership site at www.SponsoringSuccess.net and provided clear instructions on how to build a Network Marketing business online.

In probably the most technically complex tasks of my life, I launched SponsoringSuccess.net membership site, a web based resource to help the home based business owner succeed wildly online.

In the summer of 2009 Mike Dillard announced the release of the Traffic Formula 2 course, and an incredible affiliate contest.  While traveling to Los Angeles to investigate my potential new Network Marketing home, I participated in the affiliate launch and was the only woman on the top 10 leaderboard.  Ultimately, I ended up in lucky 13th place… but hey, I was traveling!

Mike Dillard used my video on the sales page – and subsequently asked me to be an Instructor at Better Networker.

In June I officially made my move to work with ViSalus Sciences, a Network Marketing company who’s marketing system, the Vi-Net, is actually a social networking site that directly integrates with sites like Facebook and Twitter to make Social Media Marketing easy.  In July, ViSalus launched the Nationwide Body By Vi Challenge, and I launched my own 90 Day Challenge Vlog at www.my-body-by-vi.com .

I set out to transform my body – and spent the next 90 days focused on my own health.  You can see the videos I created in the archives at www.my-body-by-vi.com .

I put all of my effort and focus into building up ViSalus, and by the time the ViSalus Fusion Academy came to Tampa, I had a couple of excellent accomplishments recognized!

I had achieved the rank of Regional Director, and the BMW Bonus!

I also earned a Free Cruise for being a Top Producer in the Body By Vi Challenge.

The end of 2010 was all about helping those people I had gotten started in the fall to get up to speed and making money… after all, thats how this business model works!

2009 was pretty spectacular, considering all that I set my mind to accomplish.  The bar is now raised, and the first set goals for 2010 are already on paper.  I’ll continue to grow my list and provide valuable training to those who seek to have a profitable internet based business. I’ll continue to climb the ranks in ViSalus by training others with the methods of the Fusion Academy.   I know the goals I have written will come to pass, for I am unstoppable.

Faith is a spiritual gifting that is present in the Entrepreneur. It is obedience to a calling, risk taking in response to a vision – a believing wholeheartedly in the unseen. You have been called to greatness ~ it is time to step out in faith. http://budurl.com/liveyourdreams

What are your goals for 2010? Have you taken the time to examine what you have achieved and how you can build on your successes?  Please tell me your goals for 2010, in the comments below!

The video is actually a thank you to my friend Mike Dillard ~ for it was his Magnetic Sponsoring course that I purchased back in 2005 that really changed my money pit of a home business into a cash cow. It’s also what helped me to become the #1 woman affiliate in the MLM niche

As the Renegade Professional and the launch of Mike Dillard’s Better Networker increased the number of Network Marketers who were attempting to build their business online, it became clear to me that there was alot of confusion about ‘best practices’. Since I had been studying top internet marketers since 2001, I had a very clear idea of how to best set up a home based business online. I felt an overwhelming need to tell everything I knew, and knew I could help those who were struggling to establish themselves online to get it done right the first time. I created a free membership site at www.SponsoringSuccess.net and provided clear instructions on how to build a Network Marketing business online.

In probably the most technically complex tasks of my life, I launched SponsoringSuccess.net membership site, a web based resource to help the home based business owner succeed wildly online.

In the summer of 2009 Mike Dillard announced the release of the Traffic Formula 2 course, and an incredible affiliate contest.  While traveling to Los Angeles to investigate my potential new Network Marketing home, I participated in the affiliate launch and was the only woman on the top 10 leaderboard.  Ultimately, I ended up in lucky 13th place… but hey, I was traveling!

Mike Dillard used my video on the sales page – and subsequently asked me to be an Instructor at Better Networker.

In June I officially made my move to work with ViSalus Sciences, a Network Marketing company who’s marketing system, the Vi-Net, is actually a social networking site that directly integrates with sites like Facebook and Twitter to make Social Media Marketing easy.  In July, ViSalus launched the Nationwide Body By Vi Challenge, and I launched my own 90 Day Challenge Vlog at www.my-body-by-vi.com .

I set out to transform my body – and spent the next 90 days focused on my own health.  You can see the videos I created in the archives at www.my-body-by-vi.com .

I put all of my effort and focus into building up ViSalus, and by the time the ViSalus Fusion Academy came to Tampa, I had a couple of excellent accomplishments recognized!

I had achieved the rank of Regional Director, and the BMW Bonus!

I also earned a Free Cruise for being a Top Producer in the Body By Vi Challenge.

The end of 2010 was all about helping those people I had gotten started in the fall to get up to speed and making money… after all, thats how this business model works!

2009 was pretty spectacular, considering all that I set my mind to accomplish.  The bar is now raised, and the first set goals for 2010 are already on paper.  I’ll continue to grow my list and provide valuable training to those who seek to have a profitable internet based business. I’ll continue to climb the ranks in ViSalus by training others with the methods of the Fusion Academy.   I know the goals I have written will come to pass, for I am unstoppable.

Faith is a spiritual gifting that is present in the Entrepreneur. It is obedience to a calling, risk taking in response to a vision – a believing wholeheartedly in the unseen. You have been called to greatness ~ it is time to step out in faith. http://budurl.com/liveyourdreams
