Back on October 2, 2011 we challenged ourselves with a 90 Day Challenge which has been tons of fun!

Yesterday we hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and get to check another item off the list.

We did a 17 mile loop starting out on the South Kaibab Trail which takes you to the bottom of the Grand Canyon where you cross the Colorado River. From there you trek along side the Colorado River then head up the Bright Angel Trail for a killer climb out of the canyon. The total trek is about 17 miles.

We were a little nervous starting out because of the weather. It was cold, snowy and 25 degrees at the top of the rim with clouds in the sky. We debated on going but said…

What the heck it will only make for a good story if some serious weather rolls in!

It turned out to be a great day. It stayed over cast and cloudy. Once we started down the trail and got out of the snow it was beautiful. At the bottom of the canyon it was in the high 50′s. As we got to the top we ended with snow flurries. We finished up just in time. The total trek took us about 5 1/2 hours.

For those of you into the outdoors and up for an awesome hike this is one thing you should put on your bucket list of things to do.

One of the neat things about going to the Grand Canyon is there are people all over the world that come to visit the canyon. We meet some really cool people out on the trail.

We stopped to fill up our water bottles at Indian Garden and there was a group of guys on a man trip from Poland that we visited with. They are pictured below and on the video above.  They said they would visit our blog so if you are reading this HELLO from Tyler & Mimi!

Question For The Post: Who is up for the challenge?

We did a 90 Day Challenge post back on Oct 2, 2011 and Mimi gets to check one thing off the list in a big way.

Today was the 3rd race of a 3 race triathlon series in Tucson, AZ called the Tinfoilman Triathlon put on by Tri Tucson. Mimi’s goal was to win her age  group and not only did she win her age group she was the top female finisher. Awesome job Mimi!

Also a big shout-out and congrats to Susy Bacal, Susan Patterson, and Diane Dedek for a great race.

This coming Saturday we are off to the Grand Canyon to do a 17 to 20 mile one day trek to the bottom of the canyon and back to check off the next thing on our 90 Day Challenge list.

A key to success is spotting trends. As an entrepreneur it is your role to spot trends and get in the way of the trend. That is what entrepreneurs do, well the good ones, they spot trends and get in the way of the trend.

What if you could not only take advantage of 1 trend but 5 trends? How exciting and lucrative would that be?

ViSalus is making a huge impact on 5 trends which are:

1. Direct Sales / Network Marketing - There are over 250,000 people per day getting involved with a home based business. The economy is not getting any better and people are looking for ways to create other streams of income to make ends meet. ViSalus is leading the charge and has become the fastest growing Direct Sales company in North America growing by double digit growth for 18 months straight which is unheard of in the industry.  ViSalus has just began and has yet to start their international expansion which is under way.

As a result, ViSalus has had many other Direct Sales companies try to Copy Cat them which only helps ViSalus.

2. Weight Loss Fitness Industry – Turn on the radio and every other ad you hear is about weight loss. Lets face it; America is FAT! The numbers are staggering and predicted to get even worse.

Weight loss and fitness is a huge trend and will only get bigger. The Body by Vi Challenge is all about a 90 day challenge to lose weight and get fit. Who is up for a challenge?

4. Mobile Commerce – Smart phones have become computers and very easy to do business on. ViSalus has cutting edge mobile commerce technology resulting in over 1 million in sales per month from their mobile commerce platform. ViSalus does more sales per month from their mobile app than most MLM companies do in one month in entire sales.

5. Direct Marketing (Customer to Customer) – Word of month customer sharing is huge part of the ViSalus model. There are many people that don’t want to work the business but do want to take the 90 Day Challenge to lose weight and get fit. Customer to Customer sales is more natural and less awkward. Plus as customers go out and share the challenge with others they get their product for FREE.
