About Tardus

The Tardus Story

Our mission is to create a Wealth Revolution through coaching on unique cash flow and alternative investment strategies.

Our History

Helping People for Over 20 Years

From six figures of debt to a patented wealth-building system — this is how Tardus came to be.

2000

A Leap of Faith

Tanisha and Chris Souza were newlyweds with six figures of student loan debt and no way out. Tanisha was grinding through long, stressful hours as an attorney, feeling trapped in a career she didn't love — just to keep up with the bills. Determined to escape, they turned to real estate investing and achieved financial freedom within a few years.

2002

A New Opportunity

Determined to help others achieve the same freedom, they bought a Tardus franchise, which at the time focused on mortgage payoff strategies. They quickly realized paying off debt wasn't enough — people needed a way to create income.

2014

A Patented Breakthrough

Tanisha set out to design a system that didn't just eliminate debt but helped people generate self-sustaining passive income — giving them true financial freedom. After years of refinement, Tanisha was granted a U.S. patent for the Income Snowball, a revolutionary system for building wealth faster than traditional investing.

Today

Adopted Charity

Eliminating Homelessness

Our adopted charity is HomeAid Hawaii. Homelessness is a big problem — and Hawaii's homeless crisis became even more devastating after the Maui fires.

For the past several years, we have partnered with HomeAid Hawaii to provide tiny homes for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Now you can help us make a big impact — and build homes for our Maui neighbors.

Give what you can and watch it return to you many times over!
