a message from the president Are You Ready to be a Participant in Your Life…Not Just a Spectator?

Hello and welcome to ACN! Many of you may be looking at ACN for the very first time, while perhaps some of you are taking a second look. Regardless of where you are in your decision making process, rest assured you’ve made the right decision to take a further look at ACN. We’ve had a tremendous amount of success during the past 25 years.

For starters, ACN is the world’s largest direct seller of telecommunications, energy and essential services for home and business. We’re operating in 25 countries and growing across 4 continents, providing a home-based business opportunity for tens of thousands of people with millions of satisfied customers. But even with all that, we’ve still just barely scratched the surface of what we plan to accomplish in the future. In fact, today ACN has less than 1% market share in any area in which we are doing business, and to us, it feels like we’re just getting started. The fact is: There has never been a better time to be a part of ACN than right here, right now. So what does all of that mean for you? Well, I’m glad you asked!

At ACN, we believe there are two types of people. First there are people content to go through life as a spectator. They sit in the stands, clap at other’s success and just take life as it comes – satisfied to let someone else determine how much or how little they’re worth. But then there are people that have made a decision to participate in their own lives.

They’re not content to sit on the sidelines and watch life pass them by. They want to get in the game, get their hands dirty and have a direct impact on their life and their future. And that’s exactly what ACN is all about. ACN provides an opportunity for people just like you – perhaps for the first time ever – to do extraordinary things, to have a say in your own future, and to finally get in the game called life.

I realize you may be reading this and asking yourself some questions like, “Do I have want it takes to be successful?” Or maybe, “Can I really do this?” And of course some of you are asking, “What if I fail?” Maybe you already doubt yourself before you’ve even gotten through this introduction. Well, there’s no reason to worry or question yourself, because at ACN, we’re going to be with you every step of the way. When you join ACN, you become part of a team and our family. We believe in supporting each other, looking out for each other and raising each other up. After all, a rising tide lifts all boats.

Regardless of what you’ve done or haven’t done in the past; how much or how little experience you have; how old or how young you are – or anything else in between – you can write your own success story in ACN. Regardless of what success looks like to you – whether it’s more time to do the things you enjoy most, more money, the ability to give back to others or all of the above – it’s possible with ACN. Our business is about people from all walks of life, all backgrounds, coming together with a common purpose. At ACN, we believe it’s our differences that make us great. Because when we all come together, We Are ACN – and we would love for you to be a part of it. The seed has been planted, and now it’s time to go to harvest – for yourself, your family and your future. Life isn’t a spectator sport – and your future shouldn’t be either.

I look forward to welcoming you to the ACN family!

God Bless,

Greg Provenzano ACN President and Co-Founder

Live A Life

WITHOUT BOUNDARIES It’s Possible with ACN Sometimes, when people can’t find what they’re really looking for, they give up and settle for something less. Fortunately, when ACN’s Co-Founders went in search of a direct selling company to align themselves with over 24 years ago, it wasn’t one of those times. Instead they rose to the challenge and created the kind of company they wanted – a kind of company the world deserved.

ACN Co-Founders Greg Provenzano, Robert Stevanovski, Tony Cupisz and Mike Cupisz didn’t set out to start their own company. Instead, they were simply searching for a company they could put their faith, trust and work ethic into. They knew what a successful direct selling company should look like, and more importantly, they knew what it shouldn’t. So when they couldn’t find the kind of company that met their incredibly high standards, they decided to create one.

The four took one piece of paper and divided it into two sides. On one side, they wrote what they believed worked best for a direct selling company; on the other side, they wrote everything they knew didn’t work.

Then they tore the piece of paper in half, and kept only the side with

the list of things that worked. The final list contained the principles that were most important to the four men, principles that could never be compromised: Integrity, a commitment to giving back, and the necessity of putting the needs of the masses above their own needs, 100 percent of the time no matter what.

That list became the core values of ACN as a company, and over two decades

“ACN is a personal growth program with a compensation plan attached, because at ACN you can’t succeed long-term without becoming the very best version of yourself.”

later, they’re still at the center of every decision the company makes.

ACN President and Co-Founder

As a testament to their vision, ACN – a company that

Greg Provenzano

started as an idea on a piece of paper – is now the world’s largest direct seller of telecom, energy and essential services for home and business, operating in 25 countries around

“IBOs are in business for themselves but never by themselves. We provide our IBOs with the tools they need to build and manage a successful business.”

ACN Co-Founder

Tony Cupisz

the globe in North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Essential Potential ACN’s suite of services includes essential services everyone already uses and pays for anyway: services such as High Speed Internet, Phone Service, Wireless Service, Natural Gas and Electricity, Television, Security and Automation, Payment Processing

and more, representing the top brands in each industy.

“At ACN, we’re constantly asking ourselves how we can make our products better for consumers and our opportunity better for our IBOs, ensuring we change even more lives and more futures, every day.”

These services represent the largest and fastest growing industries in the world, exceeding $1.75 trillion annually, and you can be a part of it. Imagine an opportunity to earn income on these essential services through your very own home-based business – a business that pays you every time a customer pays a bill for these services that they’re already using anyway.

The premise behind ACN’s demonstrated success

ACN Chairman and Co-Founder

system is surprisingly, and refreshingly, simple.

Robert Stevanovski

Think about the last time you turned on your television, looked at a magazine or even just walked down the street. Odds are, you were inundated with advertisements for wireless phone service, satellite television, or Internet service – if not all of the above. All that advertising costs service providers a great deal of money – money they’re willing to spend to

acquire you as a customer. ACN’s Independent Business Owners, or IBOs, instead bypass all that media marketing and go directly to their social circles and networks to offer these services through the IBO’s personalized website. As a result, an IBO can build a business of their very own, while their customers get an outstanding value on services they’re already using anyway, all while helping support the business of someone they care about.

And it’s the nature of these services that fundamentally sets ACN apart from other direct marketing companies.

Instead of trying to sell products that customers may or may not be interested in, ACN IBOs provide friends, family and acquaintances with the services they can’t live without.

The Power Of Residual Income But what really sets ACN apart? Residual income! Think about it like this: every time a song is played on the radio or downloaded from iTunes, the recording artist is getting paid. That’s residual income, and that’s what the ACN Opportunity is all about. Every time someone becomes a customer and pays for their monthly services, you get paid for as long as they remain on the ACN service. And every time you acquire a

“Integrity is all about how you conduct yourself when no one is watching.”

new customer or help an existing customer add a new service, or your customers refer other customers, you give yourself a raise.

But that’s just the beginning. Introduce others to ACN, show them how to get customers through their own personal website, and as their customers use ACN services, not only does their monthly

ACN Co-Founder

residual income grow. So does yours.

Mike Cupisz

There is no limit to the number of customers you can acquire and no limit to the number of people you can introduce to ACN. Unlike the competitive atmosphere of a traditional business where workers compete for better positions and salaries, at ACN, IBOs only succeed by helping others succeed. continued on next page

The Legacy We Hope To Leave ACN’s business is providing individuals like yourself with a lucrative business opportunity offering services that people use every day. But their mission has always been to make a difference in peoples’ lives. And at ACN, that starts with children. Today, over 17 million children in North America do not know where their next meal is coming from.

So together we’re doing our part to help end childhood hunger right here at home. With ACN Project

“We have been able to create a life for our children that is filled with ‘I can do anything’ thanks to ACN and the platform they provided us.”

Feeding Kids, when someone becomes an ACN customer, a child gets fed. And when customers pay their select bills

ACN COCs and Platinum RVPs

Nekoda & Monica Bragg

each month, another child gets fed.

It doesn’t get any simpler…or more powerful than that.

In Business For Yourself But Never By Yourself As powerful as ACN’s marketing system and residual-based compensation plan may be, it’s something else that the company’s Co-Founders are proudest of when they reflect on the successes of the past two decades. It’s the company’s true commitment to, and fulfillment of, the belief that anyone can succeed, no matter who they are. IBOs truly come from all backgrounds and walks of life. In fact, ACN positions people, regardless of their background, education or any other factors, to own their own businesses with unlimited income potential, but without the

“I’ve had the opportunity to help educate, clothe and assist children in countries around the world. I feel so blessed to be part of a company that not only supports my commitment to helping children in need but also shares that commitment.”

ACN COC and SVP

Leanne Gabriel

large investment or risks of traditional business most entrepreneurs have to take. Whether it’s more time with family, an extra income stream or an opportunity to be able to help others – the ACN Opportunity can be the vehicle so many people have been searching for – thanks to the company’s established, time-tested system.

ACN provides IBOs with the tools they need to succeed, from local, regional and international training events, to business building, support and management tools, to customer acquisition tools and customer care, to some of the world’s best personal development – and so much more. Think about everything it takes to run a successful business – and that’s what ACN provides. An IBO must simply apply the ACN system, maintain a no-quit attitude and follow ACN’s lead.

So what’s missing in your life?

More time, more money, more freedom – maybe all of the above?

All of this and more is possible at ACN. All you have to do is decide to take that first step, and ACN will be with you every step of the way. If you can’t find what you are looking for, then create it with ACN – just like four friends and business partners did over 24 years ago.

Discover the many ways ACN keeps customers connected.

Giving Back –

IT’S IN OUR DNA

For ACN, the true meaning of success has always been about making a difference in the lives of others – whether that’s the life of one person, an entire city, or somewhere in between. That’s how communities are made.

ACN’s dedication to making a difference is founded on three basic principles. First, that making a difference starts at home, but extends around the world.

Second, that you don’t have to be super-rich or super-powerful to make a difference, which is why ACN emphasizes programs that invite the contributions of everyone who wants to be a part – like the Project Feeding Kids program that makes customers an indispensable part of the fight against hunger, or the fundraising efforts at ACN events where ACN matches IBO donations dollar-for-dollar. And finally, that when you make a difference in the life of a child, you give hope to an entire generation, which is why we focus on organizations whose efforts directly impact children.

Ronald McDonald House Charities – A TRADITION OF HOPE AND HOME

For a parent, nothing could be worse than watching your child fight an illness or injury. Each day, countless moms and dads around the world go through just that. The luckier ones are able to take their child home within a few days, but many childhood hospitalizations can last weeks or even months. With everything these parents worry about as they care for their child, having a place to stay shouldn’t even have to cross their minds – yet many of these families don’t live anywhere near the doctors and medical services that their child needs. Providing the gift of a cozy home-away-from-home to these parents is the sole mission of the Ronald McDonald House, a mission which ACN wholeheartedly supports around the globe.

“We thought we could do the most good by focusing our efforts on a charity that embraced our corporate mission of helping children and families and allowing us to give back on a global scale. That led us right to the Ronald McDonald House Charities,” says ACN Chairman and Co-Founder Robert Stevanovski.

The House that Love (and ACN) Built ACN began working with the Ronald McDonald House charities in 2008, and since that time, the Ronald McDonald house has become a part of the ACN family. ACN raises funds for the charity at each and every one of our events around the globe. After working with the charity around the world for several years, ACN decided it was unacceptable that the company’s hometown of Charlotte, NC, didn’t have its own House – after all, ACN believes that making a difference starts at home. That’s why ACN made significant contributions to open the doors of a new Ronald McDonald House in Charlotte in 2010.

In keeping with the belief that a culture of giving back should be inclusive of everyone in the ACN family, ACN encourages IBOs to give as much as they can when attending ACN’s International events – even if that’s just a few dollars. Whatever amount is given, ACN matches dollar-for-dollar, presenting a check to the local chapter of the Ronald McDonald House from the stage at event’s end. Together, we’ve raised millions of dollars for Houses around the world. ACN also hosts an annual celebrity golf tournament in Charlotte – always a sold-out event – and donates 100% of the proceeds to the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte, with the most recent tournament raising over $250,000.

Often times, giving the gift of one’s time can be an even more generous act than giving the gift of money. ACN employees regularly volunteer their time in support of the Charlotte House, whether cooking meals for resident families or funding free stays through the Sport a Shirt, Share a Night program.

What if making a difference was as simple as paying a phone bill?

ACN believes that it can be.

Inspired and encouraged by the success of ACN’s work with the Ronald McDonald House Charities and by the readiness of IBOs, employees and everyone in the ACN family to give back to their communities, ACN’s leadership became convinced that there was so much more that they could do and give.

When ACN learned that over 17 million children here in North America don’t know where their next meal is coming from, the next step became crystal clear.

“Even with more than two decades committed to making a difference, we feel there’s still so much left to do, so we went in search of something that would allow us to impact even more lives simply doing what we do best,” says ACN President Greg Provenzano. From that simple mission, ACN Project Feeding Kids was born.

The beauty of Project Feeding Kids is that everyone – no matter who they are, no matter where they live, no matter how much money they make – can do their part to help end childhood hunger here at home. At the frontline of this battle against hunger are not only our IBOs, but our customers as well. Each time an IBO signs up a new customer, ACN makes a donation, and a meal is provided to a child in need. It doesn’t stop with a one-off donation, though. Every time a customer pays their select* bills each month, month-after-month, ACN contributes more to Project Feeding Kids and more children are fed. Every customer, every bill, every time. ACN will be providing up to 1.5 million meals for kids throughout North America this year alone. The best part is, these are essential services that people already need and use every day – but as ACN customers, they’re fighting childhood hunger at the same time. “It doesn’t get simpler or more powerful than that,” Greg says.

Our Commitment to the Future As ACN continues to expand and grow around the globe, we look forward to having that much more power to positively impact the lives and communities around us. At the same time, ACN remains fully committed to acting as an exceptional corporate citizen of our own home – Charlotte, a city in which it is our privilege and responsibility to cultivate roots and help families grow, which is why we support more than 50 local organizations and growing. Whether you’re an ACN customer, IBO or employee, we hope you’ll join us in our mission to make a difference and in our culture of giving back. Because in the end, it’s all about each of us.

ACN is a proud member of the Direct Selling Association in the U.S. and the Direct Sellers Association in Canada - the national trade associations for companies that manufacture and distribute goods and services sold directly to consumers through an independent, entrepreneurial salesforce. The following information was provided by the Direct Selling Association on behalf of direct sellers everywhere.

Direct Sales: 18 Million American Entrepreneurs Strong and Growing Direct sales is among the most accessible paths to entrepreneurship. More than 18 million Americans are involved in direct selling to make a few extra dollars, or to build a business.

That’s because direct sales offers a low-risk way to participate in a fast-growing part of the economy.

and sometimes functioning as mobile “show rooms” for emerging product lines. The appeal of direct sales is often the ability to experience the product first hand and build a relationship with a sales person who uses the product themselves. Direct sales fills in an important gap in the emerging online economy.

Direct sales remains a relationship business.

Some of those relationships still happen face-to-face; however, direct sales has changed along with the rest of the economy. Individuals are building relationships through social media, using e-commerce sites to complete transactions,

For most Americans involved in direct sales, the revenue they earn is not their primary income but the way to a family vacation, or gifts for the holidays, or just a little extra spending money. In fact, most direct sellers only work part time in direct sales, and many have other jobs.

Direct sellers are your neighbors, your friends, and your family— and whether they work a few hours a week or full-time, they are American entrepreneurs in the truest sense of the word.

The information contained herein gives you a visual snapshot of direct sales in America. We hope you’ll take a couple minutes to better understand what direct sales is all about.

Direct Sales is Part of the Fabric of America Direct Sales Touches Every Neighborhood in America About 1 in 7 U.S. Households are involved in Direct Selling

Earnings as an ACN IBO are based solely upon the successful sale of products to customers and their usage of those products. Individuals will incur expenses in operating their ACN business, such as the sign-up fee and renewal fee, as well as other possible operating expenses. As with any business, earnings and success at ACN are not guaranteed but depend primarily on the individual’s commitment, persistence and effort. Individuals may not earn income and may lose money as an IBO. Jeff WEBER

Simon Abboud As a way to make money during school, Simon began working for a direct selling company. While the company lacked leadership, vision and integrity, in his opinion, it made Simon appreciate the opportunities that came with combining direct selling and telecommunications.

When a top producer for ACN offered him the chance to meet the ACN Co-Founders, Simon jumped at the chance. “What appealed to me was the possibility of real residual income.”

Since joining the ACN family, Simon now teaches others how to maximize their own capabilities by acquiring customers. He attributes his success to being coachable, distancing himself from negative people, keeping the end result in mind, and having specific goals that are both short-term and long-term.

“I try never to think of what I will do next week or next month, but always today,” he said.

“That has always helped me get closer to my long term goals.”

James & Danielle Adlam With a background in pharmaceutical sales, James Adlam felt as if he were living in a dog-eat-dog world. While working tirelessly in the sales environment, a friend asked James to join him in looking at the ACN Business Opportunity.

With dedication and great mentorship, James never gave up. One rule that he teaches his team of Independent Business Owners is to learn the business. “If you don’t learn your business, you’ll be out of business; and how you learn this business is through training.”

It wasn’t hard for James to see the possibilities that ACN could bring.

“The concept of business ownership with low cost to get started and residual income. When I saw that, I was blown away.”

Today, James has what he’s always wanted: simply the time to enjoy his life, but he hasn’t stopped introducing others to the ACN Opportunity.

“I feel everybody needs to know about this company. The environment alone that ACN creates can make you a better person.”

Mathieu Ambroise Mathieu Ambroise didn’t have an easy childhood. After his mother got sick, he was forced to go into foster care. Yet through it all, Mathieu learned the power of hard work. He put that to good use to get into college, where he had dreams of being a professional basketball player. But he learned another hard lesson – his talent would not be great enough to take him where he wanted to go in basketball. He went in search of a plan B, which came in the form of direct selling. Mathieu had big dreams.

But the company he started out with closed its doors, shattering those dreams, but it wasn’t in vain, proving anything was possible if he persevered.

After discovering ACN, he knew he’d found the right company but wasn’t seeing results in his bank account. Mathieu thought success in ACN came down to talent. After all, that’s what determined his basketball career. “But in ACN, the result is in the discipline, not the talent, and that’s a skill anyone can learn.”

It wasn’t until ACN that Mathieu was finally able to put the years of foster care behind him and start believing he deserved more.

“It doesn’t matter where you’re from or what has happened in your life. You can still accomplish great things.”

He began searching for a new opportunity and a chance to start over.

“I was looking for a home, a solid company that had stood the test of time and where I could build a true long-term residual income.” When introduced to ACN, Michael was amazed at the company’s business model and how you could change your life by providing everyday essential services.

Today, Michael’s life has completely evolved.

“Because of ACN I have become closer to God, and I have grown as a person.”

Mike Bisutti Mike Bisutti is living proof that building your ACN business is not easy, but the hard work is all worth it. Before joining ACN, Mike worked multiple jobs as a full time college student, accruing debt along the way. When he found ACN, he knew he found an opportunity that fit well with his unshakable work ethic. He truly believes in the ACN system and has a passion for providing phenomenal services to his customers, as well as being a leader to his growing team.

What Mike values most is his family. In 2008 he met his wife Kylie, and through ACN, they have been able to build a strong, Christ-centered marriage. They are both able to stay home with their three sons: Noah, Jase and Luca.

Luca was born premature with medical complications requiring him to remain in the NICU. Because of ACN and the work ethic Mike put forth in the years prior, both he and Kylie were able to be by his side the entire time, working on their ACN business in between the cracks of life.

“ACN has given me the best gift of all: time with my family and an atmosphere that values personal growth above all else. For that, I am forever grateful.”

Nekoda was invited to an ACN International Convention. “I immediately felt like I was home,” Nekoda explained. “The environment was amazing and nothing like I’d seen before. I was blown away that they actually taught the fundamentals of how to build your business the right way.”

Nekoda and Monica embraced ACN. “I was not looking for another opportunity, but I knew that my life was missing a key element – time with my family,” Monica said. “I did not want to put in 80 hours of work a week to attain a certain lifestyle, only to see that life had slipped by.”

Prior to being separately introduced to the ACN Opportunity, Aaron was a 5th grade teacher and Chanelle was an electrical engineer. Both were looking for an opportunity to bring in additional income.

Impressed with the ACN Opportunity, they both began their careers.

“ACN has the opportunity for personal advancement and there’s plenty of room at the top of the company for everyone. ACN is solely focused on helping others succeed in order for you to succeed, which wasn’t the same in corporate America,” explained Aaron.

Aaron and Chanelle met through ACN and are now married. “We found each other in ACN. God has become the center of our lives and we have grown spiritually together.”

“The absolute best part about ACN is seeing new people realize that their dreams are possible through hard work, dedication and loyalty to this company,” Aaron said.

“Our goal is to help other people achieve success by following the system and acquiring customers.

Michael & Jennifer Crowder As the owners of four successful businesses, Michael and Jennifer Crowder were comfortable. Maybe too comfortable.

Michael’s downfall came in 2009 when the economy took a terrible turn, and suddenly, this successful entrepreneur watched everything he had worked so hard for evaporate almost before his eyes.

After being invited to learn more about ACN, even this savvy businessman couldn’t deny that ACN “just made sense”. In fact, Michael had witnessed countless other people in traditional business work 40 plus hours a week yet never experience freedom. To Michael, ACN was the way out.

But he is the first to admit that ACN isn’t easy – just as nothing worth doing is – but that it can absolutely be worth it. “ACN put me in a position to do what I wanted – and allowed me to leave a fingerprint on this earth,” Michael said.

Today, Michael focuses his time and talents on helping other people rewrite their own personal success stories.

“The services are great; the foundation is solid. We as individuals are the only variable,” Michael said. “The only difference in where you are and where I am is three things: dedication, hard work and time.”

Her goals back then were small. “I wanted to be able to take my family to brunch on Sunday,” Debbie says. Yet, since that time, her husband was able to leave his job and work with Debbie to build their ACN business full time, and today they override one of the most successful ACN businesses of all time. “Now I get to help change lives across the world, which is more than I ever dreamed.”

They’ve helped contribute to various disaster relief funds as well as the Wounded Warrior Project, Ronald McDonald Houses and other charities. “ACN has allowed us to help without having to wonder if we can afford to,” Debbie says. “It’s a priceless feeling to know that someone’s life has been made a bit easier because of your ability to give.”

The Davises have sponsored eight children and their families in the countries of Ecuador, Guatemala, Colombia, the Phillippines, and the Dominican Republic. “We’ve been able to cover their expenses for their daily needs for food, clothing, schooling, housing, medical and more,” Debbie says. Through the years, the entire Davis family has looked forward to receiving letters and photos from the children and their families.

“What seems relatively small to us is everything to them.”

Shane Douglas Shane and Dana Douglas know you don’t have to live in a big city to have big dreams – and to get even bigger results. In fact, after growing up in a tiny town of just 1,500 people in Northern Idaho, Shane loves showing others that financial prosperity is within reach – regardless of where you call home. As Senior Vice Presidents who joined the company in 2004, they have built a successful and dynamic team of leaders from their small town in Idaho. “It’s exciting to work with people from across the country who have a dream and are willing to work for it,” Shane says. “One of the great advantages of working with a lot of people at the same time is you’ll find they all have similar mindsets which creates an incredible think tank of ideas to be successful. The momentum that is created is unbelievable.”

Shane and Dana make sure their team members have the necessary tools to plug into ACN’s demonstrated system of success by acquiring customers. That system includes not only setting goals and dreaming big but also steady personal development.

“Being successful in ACN comes down to desire, determination and a willingness to grow as a person.”

When he looked at the ACN Opportunity, it made complete sense to join. He liked that the four ACN Co-Founders had been around since day one, taking part in the expansion year after year. He was also intrigued that ACN continuously made a commitment to giving back.

With a long track record of success, Al knew this was the company for him. “Through the residual income received with ACN I can enjoy time freedom. It’s been completely life-changing!”

Al plans to help grow future leaders within his organization and to help change more and more lives through this solid opportunity. The five simple steps he encourages people to follow are:

“Get in, Get qualified, Get to training, Get customers, and Get customer getters on your team to do the same.

Then do it all over

Danny Volonino After a bad car accident in the early 1990s, Danny Volonino found himself at an ultimate low. While Danny was recovering, his prayers were answered when a friend approached him about the ACN Business Opportunity. Eager for a new path, Danny joined ACN on the spot.

He went to work immediately, but it wasn’t until a visit with the ACN Co-Founders that Danny decided to give it his all.

“They didn’t judge my past and were willing to answer every question I had about my new future with ACN.” Danny quickly found that the key to finding success on the outside is to personally develop on the inside.

Today Danny consistently encourages positive thinking and personal growth to his team.

Danny’s goals in ACN are to help as many ministries as possible keep their doors open, and even more so, help as many people as possible deal with the current economic condition.

“I want to give people hope and I know that by sharing ACN, this is the vehicle that can get them there.”

Jeff Weber For Jeff Weber, discovering ACN in 1996 was much more than a smart career move. “I was 25 years old!” he recalls. “First, it forced me to grow up, to be responsible. I learned integrity, character, how to be sincere, honest, to be reliable.” He embraced ACN’s mission to help others and its commitment to lifelong learning.

Today Jeff is a Senior Vice President and grows his team from his home in California. He’s able to spend quality time with his two daughters, 4 year old Zoey and 6 month old Jade, and work from anywhere in the world on his own terms. “I’ve been able to throw away my alarm clock and wake up when I’m finished sleeping,” he says.

The joy Jeff gets from his own personal freedom is the reason he shares the ACN opportunity with others.

“I can bless the people I care about most,” he says.

“ACN has taught me how to be a servant leader, how to pour into others and not focus on myself.”

Art Napolitano Art Napolitano played in a rock band until he was 30 years old and often wondered how he would ever be able to afford a house and a family.

He wanted to have fun while also earning additional income. Network marketing seemed to be the perfect niche for him, and he soon found success in network marketing and abandoned his dream of rock stardom.

When Art joined in 1998, ACN offered just two services in two countries: long distance phone and dial-up Internet. “Today, ACN is a global marketing and distribution network offering a range of products and services through an online storefront in 25 countries and 15 languages,” he says. “When you look at how far we’ve come, it’s exciting and self-evident that ACN is the real deal.”

Art’s children grew up as part of the ACN family and he’s happy they’re getting started.

“This is a family business with my wife, kids, brother and sister involved,” he adds. “The future is brighter than the past thanks to the vision for change the company embraces.”

TO ACN EVENTS

2016 Each year, tens of thousands of people from all around the globe attend one of ACN’s International Training Events in cities all over the world, from San Jose to Sydney. They come by car, by train or by plane. They come from all backgrounds and walks of life – and leave inspired and empowered to aim higher in business and in life.

An ACN International Training Event is one weekend full of everything IBOs – veterans and newbies alike – need to boost their momentum and reach their goals. That includes training sessions from ACN’s Co-Founders and top leaders, testimonials from fellow IBOs, and plenty of networking opportunities. The events are also where ACN promotes IBOs to earned positions and recognizes the achievements of top producers. Walking the ACN stage is an exciting rite-of-passage to those who’ve made it, and a powerful motivator to those still on their way.

The power of an ACN International Event has to be experienced firsthand – and with events hosted by the company every quarter, there’s sure to be one near you soon. Just get ready to grow more than you ever thought possible in one weekend! And until then, take a look at some of the highlights from ACN’s 2016 International Training Events.

platinum regional vice president PROMOTIONS Michael & Jennifer Crowder As the owners of four successful businesses, Michael and Jennifer Crowder were comfortable. Maybe too comfortable. Michael’s downfall came in 2009 when the economy took a terrible turn, and suddenly, this successful entrepreneur watched everything he had worked so hard for evaporate almost before his eyes.

After being invited to learn more about ACN, even this savvy businessman couldn’t deny that ACN “just made sense”. In fact, Michael had witnessed countless other people in traditional business work 40 plus hours a week yet never experience freedom. To Michael, ACN was the way out.

But he is the first to admit that ACN isn’t easy – just as nothing worth doing is – but that it can absolutely be worth it. “ACN put me in a position to do what I wanted – and allowed me to leave a fingerprint on this earth,” Michael said.

Today, Michael focuses his time and talents on helping other people rewrite their own personal success stories. “The services are great; the foundation is solid. We as individuals are the only variable,” Michael said. “The only difference in where you are and where I am is three things: dedication, hard work and time.”

PJ and Michelle Dowling She was a small town girl and he was a former baseball hopeful – but together they were both dreamers who refused to give up on their dreams. PJ and Michelle Dowling started ACN for the same reason many other people do – to help ease their financial burden. It didn’t take long for them to realize that ACN would mean so much more in their lives. In fact, as Michelle describes, ACN became the vehicle that would get them where they needed to be financially, but even more importantly, it would allow them to help so many other families along the way.

“This is about so much more than us,” Michelle said. “We weren’t placed here to serve ourselves. We were placed on this earth to serve others. That’s what ACN is all about.”

Today, as Regional Vice Presidents, their finances may be in order but this couple is just getting started. “We did it! That means now we focus on helping others,” PJ said.

“ACN is a gift. Our job is to simply share it with others.”

The Dowling’s journey wasn’t easy. There were lots of sacrifices. PJ missed out on many moments with his children to build their business, but today, this family celebrates knowing that they have their father back home for good.

“ACN is a season of your life,” PJ said. “Look at it that way and you can have whatever you want. You just have to commit and want it bad enough.”

Kevin and Sandra Harding 2009 was a year that Kevin and Sandra Harding will never forget. Unfortunately it was for all the wrong reasons. They were preparing to close the doors on their business of 11 years, their house was in foreclosure and the debt seemed limitless.

And if that wasn’t enough, during it all, Kevin’s mother passed away. This couple was praying for something, anything that would help turn their life around.

After a phone call that Kevin says, “changed everything”, they committed to building an ACN business. It wasn’t pretty at first – and it certainly wasn’t easy. “We did a lot wrong in those early days, made a lot of mistakes,” Kevin said. But they knew in their hearts that ACN was the answer to their prayers. “God showed me that this was my home. I knew I could pour my life into this company and it would be ok.”

Their life today is a far cry from 2009, but one thing has remained the same: Their commitment to ACN. Just one month before being promoted to Regional Vice President, they made the final payment on their debt. Their secret to success? There is no secret. “Just keep going and don’t give up; just keep going and don’t ever give up,” Kevin shared. Added Sandra, “Fight for your family and your freedom. It will get rough but keep fighting and it will all be worth it.”

Earnings as an ACN IBO are based solely upon the successful sale of products to customers and their usage of those products. Individuals will incur expenses in operating their ACN business, such as the sign-up fee and renewal fee, as well as other possible operating expenses. As with any business, earnings and success at ACN are not guaranteed but depend primarily on the individual’s commitment, persistence and effort. Individuals may not earn income and may lose money as an IBO. ACN 2017 • 68

Mathieu Ambroise Mathieu Ambroise is a firm believer that when we are born, we are born champions, yet at some point “life” knocks us down so much that we stop believing it. But he is also living proof that no matter how far down you are, you can still rise to champion status.

Mathieu was born to a schizophrenic mother and was abandoned by his father. He eventually wound up in the foster care system bouncing from family to family before he was finally adopted. Mathieu went on to become an athlete, taking his basketball talents to the collegiate level.

It was in college that he was first introduced to ACN. After joining the business, he struggled his first year but he never gave up. In fact, he focused on attending training events until his business began to flourish.

Eventually, he met his wife in the business – and this is where he really began to understand the value of ACN. Prior to meeting his wife, Mathieu focused on the money he could earn through his ACN business, but going through 4 miscarriages changed all that. It was then Mathieu realized ACN was about so much more than money.

“ACN allowed me to be with my wife every step of the way – every doctor’s appointment, every hurdle and by her side while she was on bed rest,” Matheiu said. “I could be there for all of it because of ACN.” Today Mathieu is a dreamer, a believer and an optimist, but most importantly, he is a husband, a father and the champion he was born to be, and he’s committed to helping others become champions too.

regional vice president PROMOTIONS Keyon Lomax Twelve years ago, Keyon Lomax was a single father, raising his son and trying to get his commercial cleaning business off the ground. Always the entrepreneur, he was motivated to provide a better life for himself and his children. He was introduced to ACN while following up on an account at the cleaning company’s corporate office.

He knew he needed to do something different with his life to impact his future; he just wasn’t sure what it was. ACN became the difference for Keyon.

Keyon fell in love with the concept of ACN immediately, thinking to himself, “If they’re lying to me and only half of what they’re saying is true, it’s enough to do something big!” It was unlike anything he had ever encountered, but he was more afraid to not take advantage of the ACN Opportunity.

ACN has changed Keyon’s entire way of looking at life, all while pushing him to focus on personal development and his relationship with God. “ACN has not just changed my life, but it saved my life!” he says. As the self-proclaimed “Bob the Builder” because of his intense desire to see ACN and others grow, he strives to have the largest team in the company. “I believe that we owe it to GOD to become the best version of ourselves that we can possibly be; to let our light shine and shine bright, and to give others hope.”

Steven and Tiffany Payten Three years ago, Steven Payten was just like any other busy husband and father. He worked for a lawn and garden business Monday through Saturday and was a youth pastor at his church on Sundays. Sadly, he was never home, but he just thought this was how life was supposed to be; that this was how you put food on the table for your family. One day, his four and half year old son asked, “Daddy, do you sleep with Mommy?” What he meant was “Do you live here?” because Steven was never home with them. That changed Steven’s life forever.

After discovering ACN, he had high hopes for his business, but it took him three months to get qualified. However, once he committed to training and following the ACN system, everything turned around for him. Two months later, he became a Team Coordinator and 3 months later, he committed to ACN full time. And after two and half years of hard work and commitment to ACN, he achieved RVP status.

Steven credits a lot of his success to his wife and her support of his business, all while running their household and raising their five children. “She is my rock. I couldn’t do this without her. She is the definition of a virtuous woman. She is a leader of our household.”

Steven’s dream was more than financial – it was about being able to be great father to his children. Today, through ACN, he and his wife are living that dream.

regional vice president PROMOTIONS Mashal Sana Promoted to RVP at 24 years old after only four years with the business, Mashal is definitely an ACN success story! At the age of 20, he was a college student working part-time in a convenience store, only making a few hundred dollars a week to support his education. He had $20,000 in student loan debt and was struggling financially. After being introduced to ACN, he went in with more questions than answers, but left his first regional training event feeling excited and ready to get started.

After borrowing the money for his start-up fees, Mashal started working ACN part-time, only putting in a few hours a week. But by quickly learning the ACN system, he progressed quickly, becoming an Executive Team Trainer after 7 days, an Executive Team Leader after 60 days, a Team Coordinator after 7 months, and a Regional Director after 10 months! A year and a half into his business, his father was diagnosed with cancer. Through the establishment of his ACN business and the residuals he was earning, he was able to help care for his father and help him through his treatment full-time. His father is now healthy and Mashal credits those months with his father as some of their most memorable times together.

Mashal believes in the ACN Opportunity and its training to encourage you to never give up. He always tries to leave people with this: “I have never met anyone who didn’t make it at ACN. I just know a lot of people who have quit.”

Angela Solomon Angela Solomon was a successful attorney and business analyst when she was introduced to ACN. She always knew she wanted to be successful professionally, but after being raised by her grandparents while her mother went to medical school, she also knew she didn’t want her professional life to take away from her family life. Her 1-year-old son was frequently getting sick while at daycare when Angela was working 60 hours a week at a law firm. She became tired of having to choose between caring for her sick baby and supporting her reputation at a male-dominated firm. So she told her husband, whom she met at an ACN Business Opportunity Meeting, that she was leaving the firm and committing to ACN full time. He said, “Okay. See you at home!”

When Angela went full time in her ACN business, all her “mama drama” as she called it went away and she really did feel like she was the woman who had it all.

A successful professional life and plenty of time for her family was a dream come true. But it wasn’t until Angela’s son told her that they were all best friends and a “squad” that she really knew she truly had it all.

Today, Angela proudly wears the title of RVP. She owes her success to her committed husband Orin, who is a top producing Senior Vice President in ACN. With two successful ACN positions under one roof, this duo is changing the meaning of “family business”.

Debra J. Wilson & Les Nip Debra Wilson and Les Nip both had very successful careers prior to ACN - Debra was a publishing executive for 22 years and Les was the founding partner of a large tech company. It kept them both very busy, but they were both happy in their careers. Eventually, Les decided to sell his tech company while Debra continued to work. When being dropped off after a long business trip, Debra heard her daughter say to a friend, “Yes that’s my mom, but she doesn’t live with us. She lives in a hotel or on an airplane.” At that moment, Debra walked in to their home and told Les that something needed to change. She loved her job, but loved her husband and her kids more and needed to determine a way to be home with them more.

Debra took a year off, but was eventually introduced to ACN and in September of 2009, Debra and Les decided they would completely focus on their ACN business.

It wasn’t easy for Debra at first. Les was the natural born entrepreneur, and that was going to be a bit of change in thinking for Debra. Through personal development and attending event after event (31 consecutively!), Debra found her stride in ACN, and 7 years and 59 days later, Debra and Les were promoted to RVP. Debra and Les credit the foundation of the ACN Opportunity for their success. They are also very grateful to their children for helping hold them accountable. ACN has become a family business to them and Debra and Les are so grateful for the ultimate gift that ACN could give them- more time together as a family!

Shane Yearian Shane Yearian was working 2 jobs for 80 hours a week. He missed his family immensely and needed a break. He and his wife finally found some time to take a vacation to the Kentucky Derby. While they were there, they received a phone call that no parent ever wants to receive. It was the doctor saying their 5-month-old son, Hunter, never woke up from his nap and passed away in his sleep. That was the longest car ride home for Shane and his wife.

While Shane and his family grieved, he was introduced to ACN. He loved his career, selling real estate, but was deeply depressed as he grieved the loss of his son, so he knew he needed a change. What motivates him most about ACN is the opportunity to actively feed hungry children. “Why not give your entire self to a business that helps feed hungry children and provides your family with a vehicle to help change their future.” Shane said. So that was what he did – he put his entire self into his business.

Shane and his wife had another daughter after Hunter’s passing, and Shane’s two daughters are the light of his life. He is so grateful to the ACN Opportunity for giving him the freedom to spend more time with his daughters. Shane always tells people looking to get in to this business, “Don’t wait for a tragedy.” He encourages those to get involved with this business now so we all can feed more kids!

A Company Built on Integrity from the Inside Out

When pursuing a business opportunity, you have countless companies from which to choose. However, it’s up to you as a consumer to make an informed decision for yourself. With so many conflicting, unsubstantiated and false statements flooding the web, it can be difficult to understand the differences in a reputable company like ACN and a less credible company. Remember, anyone can post anything on the Internet – whether it’s based in fact or not.

Do yourself a favor – don’t get lost in the confusion of the web! If you’re reading this, you’re more than likely trying to decide if the ACN Opportunity is right for you. We can’t answer that question for you, but we can help you make an informed decision by sharing with you who ACN really is.

Listen to a Clear, Reliable Voice ACN is a long-standing member of the Direct Selling Association in the U.S. and the Direct Sellers Association in Canada, the direct selling industry’s trade associations. These organizations carefully evaluate potential members and require that members follow a strict code of ethics designed to help protect independent salespeople and consumers. One of the most important rules DSA member companies must follow is to compensate their independent salespeople based on the sale of products or services to customers, not based on recruitment. This is the key difference between a legitimate direct selling company like ACN and an illegal pyramid scheme. Yes, there are pyramid schemes out there, and yes, they have soured the industry for many people. But ACN is not one of them. That’s a fact.

See our Commitment to Integrity in Action Integrity – it’s a word you hear used a lot at ACN, because it’s our company’s number one core value and the foundation upon which ACN was built. In fact every decision we make as a company, every time is based on running our business with integrity, consistent with the highest ethical standards. This commitment began years ago when early on in our history ACN Co-Founder and Chairman Robert Stevanovski contacted a former state attorney general about becoming a legal consultant for ACN. That former state AG’s first question was “What kind of trouble are you in?” to which Robert responded, “We aren’t in any trouble, and we don’t want to be!” From there, ACN’s Legal Advisory Committee was born.

ACN also maintains a highly-skilled and dedicated team of in-house attorneys who stay in tune with legal developments in the industry, as well as a Business Ethics team to meet the needs of ACN’s IBOs while ensuring ACN remains best in class in complying with regulations and industry standards. These teams work together to ensure ACN continues to set the bar of excellence in our industry.

So Here’s the Bottom Line As you pursue the next step in your personal journey, we hope you’ll take the time to get to know who ACN really is.

Look closely at our company websites and other materials, explore the DSA’s code of ethics and ACN’s IBO policies and procedures, and talk to the IBO who introduced you to us, as well as the leaders of our IBO organization. We have no doubt you’ll discover for yourself that choosing ACN means choosing a company committed to integrity – and a company that is setting the standard by which other direct selling companies are measured.

platinum regional vice president PROMOTIONS Shoichi Masunaga “Every time someone pays a phone bill, you can get paid.” That’s what Shoichi Masunaga’s friend told him over a decade ago when he was first introduced to the ACN business. That has stuck with him ever since.

Shoichi, not speaking any English, has been attending ACN’s International Events for 10 years. Having attended over 40 consecutive ACN events, Shoichi has immense respect for the ACN system or as he calls it, “the system for success”. He believes that if you truly follow this system and plug into the events, you can make an impact in this business. Because for 10 years, even if he didn’t understand the language spoken at ACN’s events, he felt the magic in the room.

And for the past decade, his purpose has been about so much more than personal success. His goal was to witness the launch of ACN in Japan. And exactly 10 years later, on his 10-year ACN anniversary, not only was he was promoted to RVP, but on that exact same day, ACN launched Japan as its 25th country of operation. To Shoichi, this meant finally being able to expand his business in his home country.

Shoichi is a true example of “the system of success” and he hopes to continue telling more people about it every day.

regional vice president PROMOTIONS Ken Akahori Ken Akahori has been in the network marketing businesses for over 20 years.

He found success in each of his former companies, but also quickly realized that with those companies, success was not sustainable for the long term. Ken was struggling financially at the time he was introduced to ACN by a friend, and was going to rely on that excuse not to attend the ACN event, but his friend was persistent and Ken’s intuition knew better. Something inside of him convinced him to get the means together to attend.

Everything changed for Ken at that first International Event in Phoenix. He had never seen an event like that before and it inspired him to believe in the ACN Opportunity. He went home to Japan and started telling everyone he knew about ACN. Their response was much like his was years before – that ACN in Japan would never happen. But it did.

Ken attended the flag raising ceremony of ACN Japan and it brought tears to his eyes. He was fully committed to ACN at that moment, and shortly after, he was promoted to RVP. The moment he started to believe was the moment he made it happen. Ken continues to grow his business in Japan and loves to watch ACN Japan evolve. He hopes to be a SVP soon and help build ACN worldwide.

regional vice president PROMOTIONS Alex Beaudry When Alex Beaudry was 14 years old, his father asked him to read Rich Dad, Poor Dad – a book that would change his life. Building wealth was something Alex and his family were familiar with. In fact, they worked hard and never wanted for anything. That is until Alex was 20 years old and his family lost everything.

His family struggled for a few years, but Alex always kept the fire inside him to succeed alive. “A lion, wanting to be released from its cage” as he calls it. And when Alex turned 23, he discovered ACN. Alex and his brother attended their first international event in San Jose, traveling all the way from Montreal. They sold everything they had to earn the money for the trip and even had to spend their last two nights sleeping at the airport.

Yet Alex was still struggling in his ACN business, worn out and ready to give up. But that all changed after a meeting with his father in which his father asked him, “Who is the best?” Alex responded, “Well I know I am, but I am struggling right now.” His father simply asked him again, “Who is the best?” Alex responded, “I am...,” still not feeling confident. His father asked him again and Alex responded again, this time more assuredly. This went on and on for the rest of their meeting, until Alex actually started to believe it. His father knew if he could get Alex to believe it, then Alex could really do anything he put his mind to.

Today, as a RVP, his business is thriving and he’s engaged to the love of his life, and he can’t wait to see what the future holds for him. “ACN is not what we do; it is who we are!”

Randy Lowery They called him “Mr. Football”. Randy Lowery’s life was living and breathing football.

Growing up in Red Bay, AL, he was a star athlete in high school and college, and was pursuing his dream of playing in the NFL. An injury ended up bringing him back home to Alabama where he relied on his degree and became a teacher and coach.

But for some reason, teaching and coaching never felt like enough for Randy.

His parents always instilled in him to believe that he could do anything and be anything. He looked around at the rest of his co-workers and always thought that there had to be more to life than what he was currently doing. He did not want to continue living his life “broke, busted, and disgusted,” as he says. That was when he was introduced to ACN. After 2 months of running a successful ACN business, his life and his business were unexpectedly knocked off track, but he trusted his upline and the ACN Opportunity. Growing up an athlete, he was naturally coachable, so he allowed himself to be coached, and three years later, was promoted to RVP. “Forget the doubting Thomas in your life. Get out of the boat and dig your toe in the water, and I hope to be celebrating your RVP promotion right here from this stage.”

Michelle and Gary Walker Michelle & Gary met in ACN almost 10 years ago, when they both were just starting their ACN businesses. Michelle was a single mother with three children and Gary was a recent divorcee with a four-year-old daughter. They both knew their life needed to change and for both of them, separately and together, change would come in the form of ACN. Michelle and Gary both submitted themselves to the ACN System. They took in all the training and leaned on their mentors to show them the path to success.

But admittedly, if they hadn’t completely surrendered themselves to personal development and being comfortable with being uncomfortable, they would have never been successful.

Michelle and Gary were married in August 2015 and they both say that was the moment their lives finally became complete. Their business has thrived since then; they have been promoted to RVP, and have more time to spend with God, each other, and their children. Their mantra is “Yes I can” and “Yes you can”. And they repeat that over and over any time a team member is ready to give up, when a family member teases them about this business, and to all the customers that say no. Michelle and Gary believe everyone is worth the hard work; they just have to believe in themselves.

Staci and Larry Wallace Staci Wallace was an 18-year old country music artist living her dreams when her father challenged her to focus her life on working smarter, not harder. As an artist, Stacy understood the value of residual income and began working with a product-based direct selling company, not wanting her entire future to rely solely on the volatile music industry. Over the years, Staci rose to the top of four other direct selling companies. Her success, however, was always short lived, as each eventually closed their doors…one after another.

Staci was pursued about the ACN Opportunity for over a year, but the timing wasn’t right. But when Staci’s last company folded, leaving her yet again looking for a new company, she and her husband Larry decided they no longer wanted the next opportunity; they wanted the final opportunity.

Now Staci and Larry thrive off inspiring others and teaching their team how this business can positively impact their lives. Staci’s challenge to her team is this: “Be extraordinary, just like ACN’s founders, no matter what you are going through in life. Sometimes a set-back is really a set-up for your greatest days, your greatest hour, your greatest time.”

Staci and Larry love calling ACN their final opportunity and their home.

platinum regional vice president PROMOTIONS MD Rahman “It’s hard for me to speak in front of people, but easy to sign people up in this business!” That’s how MD Rahman describes his success in ACN. From a taxi driver in New York City to now Platinum Regional Vice President, MD is one of ACN’s true success stories. The cards were certainly stacked against him early on: He came to this country and couldn’t speak or understand English; he had no money in his pocket and no sales or business experience of any kind. But what he did have was a desire that outweighed all of that: The desire to create a better life for himself, his wife and their sons in America. To make ends meet, MD began driving a taxi in bustling New York City, but he knew that wasn’t going to provide the type of lifestyle his family deserved, and more importantly, he knew he was destined for so much more.

The ACN Opportunity wasn’t always easy for MD, complicated even further by his language barrier, and to top it off, his wife was very skeptical. But he wasn’t, so he dove head first into his business and became an international success. “I like to say this company paid me weekly to learn English,” MD jokes.

Now, MD is expanding his business in Australia, and is excited to lead the future growth of ACN in the Pacific market. He misses his family terribly, but knows the sacrifices he makes now will pay off later, as evidenced by this most recent promotion. But he’s not slowing down: His sights are set on Senior Vice President.

Robert and Chika Griffin Robert Griffin was an undercover police officer in Las Vegas and was desperately seeking a new path for he and his family. His job was dangerous and stressful; and the housing market crash required them to move from their home in a neighborhood they loved to an apartment in another, less-safe neighborhood. His wife Chika, originally from Japan, was always looking for new ways to financially help her family, but desperately wanted to raise their children herself. Simply put, Robert and Chika felt stuck, and they were praying for an answer.

They both dove into ACN, but it wasn’t easy at first. However, they persevered, attended training event after training event, and were recently promoted to Regional Vice President. As a result of their hard work and no quit attitude, Robert’s and Chika’s dream of working together and raising their children finally came true. “If you solely commit to the ACN Opportunity and work hard at it, you can find success,” Robert said.

But it hasn’t been without sacrifice. Robert was diagnosed with Cancer just as ACN expanded into Japan, and although he faced an uncertain road ahead; he put Chika on a plane to be a part of ACN’s expansion in Japan – something that had been a dream of hers for so long. Today, Robert is Cancer-free and their business is thriving – both here and in Japan – proving that nothing, not even Cancer, is stronger than their desire to succeed. “Our family is always ready for battle!”

Domagoj and Jordanna Linic Domagoj and Jordanna Linic met while she was working with another direct sales company. Jordanna had previously left an abusive marriage and was motivated to make a new life for herself at this company. Domagoj was working in the construction industry, concerned about a physically taxing and volatile future when Jordanna prospected him. They were very successful in their business and were eventually married, but abruptly one day the company they put their faith in folded. They found themselves back to square one.

The couple researched ACN and every other opportunity out there, but kept coming back to ACN because of the potential for residual income, great leadership, and great services. After joining ACN, they built their business by focusing on educating their customers and valuing each and every one of them. This philosophy took them to the top and they were promoted to Team Coordinator in 2 months and Regional Director in a year, and through their laser focus on customer acquisition, they were both promoted to RVP. The ACN Opportunity and their business have truly created a legacy for Domagoj, Jordanna and their family. Both of their parents are involved in ACN, and Jordanna’s parents were proudly promoted to RVP at the same International Event that Domagoj and Jordanna were. It’s truly a family business and they say if you can live your life on purpose and with purpose, this can be your family’s legacy.

Timothy and Sharon Ramstad Married 42 years ago as teenagers, Timothy and Sharon Ramstad had one goal – to create a happy family life that was full of wonderful memories. And as integral parts of a family-owned business, they were able to live out that dream. That is, until 2013 happened. When the economy tanked, their family business went with it, and they were forced to close. Timothy and Sharon didn’t know where to turn, but they knew they had to find something. After all, Timothy had promised his father on his deathbed that he would create a legacy for his family. A turn in the economy certainly wasn’t going to prevent him from doing so.

Timothy and Sharon were initially introduced to ACN by their daughter and son-inlaw. They didn’t sign up right away, but stood by their children and supported them as they built their business. They soon realized that by starting their own business, not only would they be supporting their children, but also they could begin building that legacy. On a memorable day in December, they were promoted to Regional Vice President – on the very same day their daughter and son-in-law walked the stage for their own RVP promotion, giving new meaning to the words “family business”.

They rose to the top by working hard and treating their team like family, with a belief that those strong bonds will always keep their business successful. “It’s not about what we do,” Timothy says, “It’s about what you feel.”

regional vice president PROMOTIONS Ruman Reazulislam Family & true freedom – that’s what Ruman Reazulislam was in search of when he started his ACN business. Ruman was a realtor for 16 years and when the market crashed, he was working twice as hard for half the pay. Also, in 2010, his son Ramin was diagnosed with autism. To say it was a hard time for Ruman and his family is putting it lightly.

Ruman became aware of ACN and signed up immediately, but almost as immediately, attempted to cancel his IBO Agreement. But after some convincing from his upline he agreed to attend an ACN event, and it was there he realized how special the ACN Opportunity actually was. Soon after this event, Ruman created a vision board and got to work. He became a Team Coordinator after 43 days, Regional Director after 77 days and RVP after 39 months. His family and having a strong purpose is his ACN Why and to what he credits his success.

Ruman has been able to carry his ACN Why into other ventures. Through his ACN business, Ruman and his wife Tonnie have plans to open an autism playground and an autism center all in the name of his son Ramin. His ACN business is going to help them help their son and so many other families dealing with their same challenges. “Our Why and our ACN business are truly allowing us to help our community,” Ruman said. “With a strong ACN Why, anything is possible!”
