Tanisha and Chris Souza were newlywed, drowning in six figure student loan debt, and Tanisha desperate to escape her grueling career as an attorney. The Souzas took a leap of faith into real estate investing and achieved financial freedom. Soon after, Tanisha quit practicing law and Tardus was born, on a mission to help others achieve that same freedom.
Tanisha spent several years and dozens of prototypes developing and perfecting a system that could help a person create self sustaining passive income and eliminate debt simultaneously while projecting the person’s financial freedom date – in most cases within 5 to 10 years. Because of the speed in which a person could grow their income, Tanisha appropriately named it the Income Snowball. She was granted a patent for it in 2014.
Today Tardus Wealth Strategies is an international wealth-coaching company, headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii. Tardus Wealth Coaches work individually with members on a monthly basis to help them create a predictable system for creating passive income, paying off debt, and planning for their financial future.
Tanisha is the Chief Wealth Coach at Tardus. Formerly an attorney, Tanisha is the inventor of the patented Income Snowball System, best-selling author with Jack Canfield of Soul of Success Volume II, and author of the Multi-Million Dollar Real Estate Investing Course.
Chris is the Chief Operations Officer at Tardus. With more than a decade of experience in finance and sales for multi-million dollar corporations, he has parlayed that expertise into helping build the Tardus brand into a world-wide leader in financial coaching.
