"If only I had found out about ACN earlier!
I have been a business owner for the past 15 years. I got tired of being owned by my businesses. But I thought that this was the only way....I was taught that there is no other way.
When I saw the ACN Opportunity, I was amazed that something like this existed. That I could own a global telecom franchise opportunity without employees, payroll, paying rent, having inventory and taxes (well ok I still have to pay taxes!) and that you don't need to know anything coming into the business.
ACN has given me the opportunity to get the most out of my life, to spend time with my family and be surrounded by positive people who are up to something big in life. I wake up excited each morning!
The best part, however, is that we are involved with a company with extraordinary integrity and a real desire to see others succeed. In fact that is the main reason for the ACN success story. It is an honor to be part of the ACN family."

Prior to hearing about ACN, my brothers and I owned a $40 million snack food company that we built up for 15 years. Burned out by the effort that it took, we decided to take our company public.
Although things looked good, I recognized the importance of having a Plan B regardless of how things may appear on the outside. Having little education, all I knew was that I had to work for myself. I guess that made me a forced entrepreneur. Having been an entrepreneur all my life, I didn’t believe anything came with a real guarantee. All I looked for were possibilities that can be turned into profits.
When I looked at ACN, the possibilities were endless. I soon fell in love with the process of helping others achieve their goals in order for me to achieve mine. To be involved in a business where I am able to attract like-minded people and work as a team toward our goals was a perfect fit for a misfit like me. All we had to do was plug into a system and create an atmosphere where anyone willing to put in the time and effort could win. The Telecom industry is the largest and still fastest growing industry in the world, and with the vision and integrity of the ACN Co-Founders, I knew I had a chance to be part of something great!
There was no way I could have known what the stock market had in store for me. When the company I had taken public crashed on the market and 9-11 followed, I lost everything I had built during those 15 years. That would have normally devastated my family and I, but thankfully my ACN business was thriving and I was able to push through one of life’s toughest lesson: “Everyone needs a Plan B”
As a Regional Vice President, I am able to earn far more than I was ever able to pay myself in my previous business with the long-term value of residual income. But today, I am in a position to help others like never before. The greatest joy for me in this business is to be a part of helping others achieve the highest levels within the company and find their personal freedom. ACN has given me the personal development I craved, with an attitude of gratitude to share with others.

"When I was first introduced to ACN, I loved the idea of being able to stay at home and be there for my kids as they were growing up. ACN has enabled me to be at every soccer game, every dance class and every extra-curricular activity - and this has made a huge difference in our family life.
Part of why I love the ACN is that it offers others the opportunity to create time freedom and financial independence - and it's making a huge difference in their family lives as well."

"I used to be a very successful personal trainer, being in business with Donovan Bailey and Mark McKoy. However, personal training was a very unstable income. When ACN came into my life, it changed everything. I saw it when it was only a long distance company and I was excited.
It took me only 1 year to quit what I was doing and 2 1/2 years to hit the prestigious postion of Regional Vice President. Now I am one of the Top 10 RVP's in the whole world today with ACN.
My goal is to create an RVP Factory, where our Team RPM is pumping them out by the bus loads. The future is bright and I love this company with my whole heart!"
Weston and Gina Weber
Regional Vice Presidents
Weston is a former professional baseball player turned entrepreneur, who founded and built the largest residential synthetic golf green company in the world with 93 offices in 17 countries. He sold the company in 2008 and remained a consultant until February 1st of this year.
Gina has 22 years of business experience working for international corporations, including Honeywell and Action Performance Companies, Inc., where she worked as a senior marketing executive. In 1999, she founded her own marketing agency, which she continues to manage today.
Weston and Gina believe their good fortune had to do with pure timing. Their friend asked them to join him at a meeting, but he did not tell them anything about it. They had no enthusiasm or desire to even attend the meeting, let alone drive 45 minutes from where they live on a Saturday night! As it turned out, they did show up at the address he provided for them, but ironically, their friend was a no show! Despite the fact they did not even know the person hosting the meeting, they decided to stay and listen to the presentation anyway. It took them less than 40 minutes to take advantage of this incredible opportunity and join ACN. They engaged immediately and the rest is history! They recently reached the level of Team Coordinator in just over 3 months!
They attribute all of their success to three things: the amazingly leadership and guidance they received from their RVP, Franco Lofranco and TC’s, Gina and Bud Boop. Those leaders plugged them into the ACN system immediately and launched them into action within 24 hours. Within their first week, they had hosted 2 PBR’s, attended 2 BOM’s and attended 2 ACN trainings. With that knowledge, they began building their business and their momentum continued!
Lastly, they attribute their success to their incredible team which is made of dynamic, motivated, hard working individuals who are coachable and honor the ACN System. These business partners have now become good friends and they are grateful to ACN for providing them with the opportunity to create these relationships. After enjoying separate careers, the Weber’s now enjoy working together as a team (from home) where they balance their time between the business and their three children. They have a passion for ACN and they want to share this business with as many people as they can with the hope that others will someday be in a position to enjoy personal and financial freedom!

"If someone had told me that I would be involved in this type of business - I would have laughed. I was willing, like so many others, to defend my ignorance about Network Marketing.
We get to take advantage of two very powerful industries - Network Marketing (created 40% of all the millionaires in the past 25 years) and the Telecom industry. Network Marketing (91% growth in the last 10 years) is the fastest-growing industry and the Telecom industry will be the biggest industry once all 80 countries (who have signed agreements with the World Trade Organization) have been deregulated.
Having been involved in different businesses, including owning Night Clubs/Restaurant, Real Estate Investing and Civil Engineering, I have finally found an opportunity that gives me more time and money together. ACN is that vehicle and it provides the most powerful opportunity on the planet for anyone and everyone! It is truly a Rags-to-Riches Story!
When I joined ACN in September 2005, this was my 'Plan B'. But in a very short time, things have changed drastically. ACN has now become my 'Plan A' and the Restaurant Business & Real Estate Investing has become my 'Plan B'.
The best part about this opportunity is that you are in business for yourself but never by yourself. The ACN family is Global and everyone is here to help you succeed. So get your questions answered, and you and only you should decide if this is a worthwhile endeavor. Don't let anyone convince you that you should do this business, and on the other side of the coin, don't let your financially- challenged friends or family convince you against it either."

When my brother Franco told me he had decided to do network marketing with ACN, I said YES. I registered as a representative without seeing the business plan. I even attended my first meeting after 2 months as a rep. I believed wholeheartedly in the network marketing industry and I trusted that if it got Franco’s attention then I knew it was going to be a winner. Well, I was right – ACN is a winning company!
As a health care professional for 11 years, helping people was a natural self expression for me. But the business entrepreneur in me always had me explore other income possibilities. With ACN I get to do all the things I love – help and train others, own my own business, and work with whom I want and when I want. As a paralegal for 3 years, I could only participate in activities and businesses that were legal. And ACN has more tremendous integrity.
As a mother to two beautiful children, it is important to me to be a successful role model for them and surround them with other positive and successful people. My children will have a great sense of self and the courage to go after their dreams, no matter what they might be. With the international events as their training ground and the BOM’s and PBR’s as their playing field, how could they not turn out as great human beings?
Thank you ACN for giving me and my family what I always knew in my heart was there.

I am married with two beautiful kids, Kyra aged 10 and Ethan aged 8, and a Regional Vice President with ACN Canada.
I was previously an account manager for a travel mangement company and heard about the ACN opportunity from a former co-worker who simply walked up to me one day and asked me if I was open to hearing about an amazing business opportunity. Now, I never thought that I would have been interested, because like most people, all I knew was how to work from 9 to 5 for someone else .
Although I had a good paying full-time job, it came with a lot of stress. What I also knew was what I was currently doing wasn't working . The more money I made the more money I spent. I knew that if I didn't do something different that my life would look the same year after year and the ACN opportunity just felt right.
I believe that truly living is doing something that you enjoy doing and getting paid for it. I didn't want this opportunity to pass me by so I made the decision to get started right away. And today, 2 1/2 years later, ACN has far exceed my wildest dreams and has blessed my family. I have put us in a position where we no longer have to worry about money and are able to spend more quality time together.
The best part about all of this is that this same opportunity exists for each and every single one of you. You just have to go for it and make it happen and we will be right there with you every step of the way.

"I grew up in a small town just North of Brighton, Ontario. Some of the most exciting highlights of my life growing up as a child was riding a mini-bike at the age of 4. Joining a karate class at the age of 8 and receiving a junior black belt at the age of 13. In high school, I raised money for cancer and cut my long hair off so that I could give it to the children who had no hair because of their cancer treatments.
At the age of 20, I joined my parents in their clinic as their full time laser therapist. Working in the clinic gave me an opportunity to help so many individuals regain their health and quality of life. At age 22, I was introduced to the A.C.N. opportunity. I had absolutely no network marketing or telecom experience. In just a little over a year I reached the position of Team Coordinator, and within 2 1/2 years reached the position of Regional Vice President. I am now working the ACN business full time. ACN is a company of integrity and heart. Having great mentors in this company has made it easy for me to develop personally as well as gain the knowledge required to build my organization.
My personal drive that keeps me motivated in this business is my parents for whom I will retire at an early age. Also the love and support from my boyfriend Tony.
At the age of 24, I'm proud to say that I've reached my goal of becoming the youngest female Regional Vice President in North America. My focus is to build a large organization and in doing so helping thousands of people reach their life long goals and dreams in a shorter period of time."

When I heard about ACN I was working as a legal assistant, which I had done for over 14 years. Though I had a good income, I was never fulfilled as - at heart - I am an entrepreneur and was always searching for ways to be my own boss.
Having immigrated from India, l came to this country for a betterlife. I was dismayed to discover that 97% of North Americans retire broke after working a job for 40-50 years of their life. I knew there had to be a better answer and that was when I discovered the power of residual income and ACN.
When I started ACN it was only a long distance company and I worked it very part time for 2 ½ years. I got laid off from my job, and my Plan B very quickly became my Plan A. Shortly thereafter I became a Team Coordinator and there was no looking back.
There have been challenges along the way, but what has kept me focused and believing in myself is being plugged into the amazing training that ACN offers as well as being mentored by the top leaders in ACN. Today the leadership has created a simple duplicatable system that allows anyone that plugs in to succeed.
I have the most incredible team and many of the leaders in my team have become Team Coordinators faster than I did which is a testament to our system. Today with all the services that ACN has it is so much easier to succeed and I am committed to assisting those who are fed up of being in the “Busy Being Broke” club be financially free.
Ladies, I am a fine example for each of you that success in ACN is not only for the men! Success is all about having the right ATTITUDE, believing in yourself and surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who have the same vision and goals.
Today, I am proud to say that I am the first single Indian female Regional Director in ACN. My focus is to build a perpetual growing business within ACN, to inspire women to step into their leadership role and become wildly successful and to develop leaders in my team to become top producing Regional Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents!
Garish Kalia
Regional Director
When I moved to Canada in 1992, it was at a time of recession and it was hard to find a job in my field, which for, was accounting. I worked for a sheet metal company for a few years and then decided to quit and start a business of my own as a financial advisor. One thing I learned in my early years in Canada is that one skill or one job was not enough.
Everyone should have a backup plan.
One day my wife mentioned that her cousin Sonica had joiedn a new business and wanted us to attend one of their info sessions. That was in Feb this year
(2009) and the minute I attended, I knew it was for me. I got started right away. In today's world we cannot survive without telecommunications, therefore there is no reason for you not to succeed. All that was needed on my part was believe in ACN, have dedication, hard work and a positive approach, and success would follow. In six months, I have become a Team Co-ordinator and I believe the position of RVP is not far either . If I can succeed in ACN, so can you.
I would also like to thank all my team members for all the hard work they have put in and would like to wish them success in ACN.

Teresa has positioned herself and many others for financial freedom...
"My background is in the high tech field having had an outstanding career in Geographic Information Systems. The money was great but the hours were long and job security was not guaranteed. Wanting more control over my destiny, I began consulting - working my own hours, many of them were late in the evenings after my children were in bed. Again, the money was great but I found myself working contract to contract. When a friend introduced me to ACN it just made sense. Marketing telecommunication services that everyone uses and pays for every month with the ability to build a long-term stable income, provided me with the ingredients for success.
Today, ACN is my full time 'job' that affords me the opportunity to not only develop my financial freedom, but to also assist others to do the same. ACN is really a dream come true!"
Peter Sallaway

Peter has set up a legacy for his family...
"As a business executive in the information technology field, I have the opportunity to earn an excellent lifestyle. Like all successes, it came with a price of long hours and the responsibility of constantly having to generate sufficient business to provide for staff and their families. A few years back, I began to examine ways to maintain my standard of living when I was no longer actively working in the IT sector. When my business partner introduced me to ACN, I was very skeptical at first. However, a close look at the marketing and compensation plans convinced me that the ACN business model could be both profitable and sustainable. ACN's philosophy of seamlessly providing essential services across a global market is a winner."
Since partnering with ACN, we have developed a team of over tens of thousands of customers around the world! We look forward to leading the expansion of this massive opportunity into Asia very soon!
Craig Moir

Craig has taken control of his future.
"Prior to ACN, I was spinning my wheels working a traditional 9-5 job. I quickly realized this was taking me nowhere! Like many people, I was told to go to college, get a good education and find a good job. But working for someone else simply didn't appeal to me. Why would I go work for a company when the person who owns the company was always going to make the most money? So I set off exploring other opportunities while working my day job.
When I found ACN, I saw average people becoming hugely successful, which appealed to me. I didn't come from a formal university education nor did I have any prior experience. But that didn't matter. I was told that the one who works the hardest will earn the most, so it was a level playing field. ACN has allowed me to catch up and surpass my wildest dreams."
