A close friend first approached Joel Frager with the ACN opportunity many years ago, but he was the textbook "rotten apple" and he was just not interested. At the time, network marketing did not appeal to him at all. In fact, Joel’s schedule was extremely busy and he simply did not think he had the time or the money to invest in anything new. After all, the two businesses he already owned dominated most of his time — and ironically, he felt they were beginning to own him.

But aggressively growing competition meant putting in more and more time to keep up with the demands of the industry — and less and less time with his family. He began to wonder, "what good is working this hard if you have no time to enjoy life with the people who sculpt you…love you…complete you."

A year later Joel was reintroduced to the opportunity, but he could still not see the benefits of network marketing. Reluctantly, Joel and Cindy decided to take a closer look and attended their first International Event where they were immediately impressed with the positive attitudes of everyone who had been touched by the ACN opportunity. Excited to have been given a second chance at the ACN opportunity, they jumped in with their whole hearts and never looked back — setting in motion an incredible journey that would lead them to ACN’s top spots and the success they so deserved.

This new sense of independence and control has given the Fragers one of the greatest gifts of their lives — the freedom to spend valuable time with their children whenever they want. Joel’s advice to others looking for this same independence, freedom and success is simple. "Find a successful ACN role model and duplicate exactly what they do. Look for others with strong desires to achieve their potential. Follow through on your commitment, lead by example, and don’t listen to negative people. Focus on helping others achieve their dreams and you will reach yours."

When Shane and Debbie were introduced to ACN, Shane was working at a car dealership, and Debbie was the finance manager at the same dealership. They quickly became intrigued by the possibilities. They were drawn to ACN at a time when they needed additional income to help care for family obligations and personal health challenges - and they were confident that ACN could provide that means. 

Although Debbie was the initial driving force behind their new business, Shane soon followed. With the motivation they gained from their first International Event, they quickly rose through the ranks and reached the then-highest position in ACN just 12 months after that event.  Their team has nearly 16,000 team members spanning three continents.  Because of their wonderful team, Shane and Debbie have received ACN's highest honors of being invited to ACN's Circle of Champions six times.

But as large as their organization has already become, Shane and Debbie feel this is just the beginning and they look forward to taking their business to even higher levels.

“I didn’t have a privileged background. My parents were blue collar workers and they had a dream for me; they wanted me to have a life better than what they had. I went to school and got my degree and went into the corporate workforce as a public accountant and it didn’t take me very long to realize that wasn’t a better life. I didn’t have a lot of freedom. I had a lot of stress in my life and not a lot of free time and I certainly didn’t have a lot of time to spend with my children or to grow as a person. This wasn’t the way I wanted to spend my life, so I was open to opportunity. I saw ACN seven years ago and it just made common sense. Getting paid when people pay their essential bills and getting paid while I slept sounded like a very good thing. So we got started and we went to work and we worked hard,” explained Matt.

Matt’s wife Lisa was skeptical when he first joined ACN. “But in the last seven years we’ve had some amazing lifestyle changes. I’ve seen the world and we’ve spent more time with our children, she said. Matt continued, “Before ACN, I’d never even left the country and today we’ve been to multiple countries around the world. It’s just been staggering - especially the personal growth. And what I really love is that this company has allowed us the environment to see these changes in our life and really fulfill what I believe was my potential all along.”

Matt believes the ACN opportunity is only as good as what a representative is going to bring to the table. “It’s a personal growth program with compensation attached. The more you grow the more you make. You have to like people. You’ve got to have a vision for people and a desire to have people succeed beyond your own success in order to really have success at ACN. For a new representative, the key to success is very simple - you’ve got to be coachable. The people that are involved in the business are there to help you. If I’d just been more coachable and listened to the people that got me involved when I started out, I would have had an even greater level of success.”

So, what is it about ACN that Matt enjoys so much?

“With ACN you wake up each morning and the day is limitless. You don’t know who you’re going to present to that day that’s got a bigger vision than you. I look out ten years from today and I can imagine where our business is going to be – in multiple countries around the world, hundreds of thousands of customers - and it’s all because of ACN. It’s absolutely amazing to think that from the kid that grew up in a very humble beginning to be where we are today and just travel the world and do what we want to do is amazing and I’m just so thankful for that.”

Hello, my name is Eugene Piccinotti.

A little over 2 years ago I received an email that has literally changed the way I look at my future. In that email it said that I could get paid every time someone made fixed line or mobile phone calls. I was skeptical at first. After all, is it really possible to get paid on people’s phone calls? I am here to tell you that not only is it possible to get paid on these bills, but I am now getting paid on over $1.2 million AUD per month of public utility usage and have over 2,000 representatives in my team. Every time over 10,000 customers pay their phone bills I get paid.

What is even more amazing is that I did this part time while still running my already successful personal development business. I am proud to be able to say that I am part of the most successful team for ACN in the world with many of my representatives qualified to earn bonuses of $20,000 dollars a month. The reason I was able to accomplish these results is because I was taught a very simple and duplicatable system by Mr. Matt Rasmussen. I believe that literally anyone can achieve the same results with this proven system. What I like about this business is that you are in business for yourself but not by yourself. You can feel free to discuss these results with me by calling 0412 384 363. Best of luck.

Sincerely

Eugene Piccinoti

George & Mavis are originally from the North of England from a farming background and immigrated in 1968 to New Zealand to farm sheep & cattle and lived there for 11 years before coming to Australia in 1979. They now live in Bathurst NSW . They have always been in business for themselves either farming with livestock or selling agricultural products which they were doing when ACN came into their lives.

They were introduced to ACN by a friend and were very excited about the prospect of being paid residual income every time other people made a phone call and signed up straight away for one reason only, they didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity just in case it did work. Because they had been in another product based networking business before, they knew that networking worked but with ACN there was one big difference there was no product to sell and everybody has a phone service and you don’t have to persuade people to make a phone call.

They have had more success in ACN in 1 year than they had in 14 years in their other network business. The main difference between ACN and their previous agriculture business career is that everything they have done in the past has been high risk and cost a lot of capital, especially having to conduct all their own marketing and advertising and having to think of new ways to market their product. With ACN this is all done for you and you don’t have to rely on the weather as you do in an agricultural business.

ACN has also helped supplement their agricultural business which has suffered as a result of the worst drought in 100 years George & Mavis reached the Team Coordinator position in 10 months and are consistently one of the top producers. They attribute their success to attending all the training events and following the proven system for success. Early in their ACN career they invested in a trip to attend an International Training Event in Dallas Texas and also to the training event in Anaheim in 2005. It was at these trainings that they discovered the best way to build this business is to attend all the trainings. Everybody wins in ACN if they attend the trainings, put in consistent effort, follow the system and become 100% coachable.

They now look forward to receiving residual income month after month, year after year for a once-off effort and helping their team to achieve the success that they are enjoying. Their advice is to put every spare moment into building your team and make this the biggest fight of your life. ACN is the best opportunity out there. Just have the vision to know where you are going, why you are doing this and through the power of duplication you can change the lives of hundreds and thousands of people throughout the world.

Since reaching the Team Coordinator position in February 2006, after being in the business for 9 months, Denny and Elizabeth Hodgson have consistently featured as top 10 Team Coordinators for Customer and Team Trainer Production in Australia. In one month they reached the esteemed position of number 1 top producing Team Coordinator in Australia and in the same month were part of the number 1 team in the World.

Prior to their success within ACN, the Hodgsons owned 50 licensed and Franchised Stores throughout Australia. About 5 years ago, they sold out of the franchise and maintained one successful retail business, which they recently sold in order to spend 100% of their time on ACN.

Denny and Elizabeth had no previous Network Marketing experience prior to ACN. “We weren't interested in selling products and could not find a company that we could believe in until we saw ACN", said Denny. "We were looking to fulfill our potential and to help others fulfill theirs. We couldn’t believe that the greatest business opportunity on the planet had been placed right in front of us!"

"What appealed most about ACN was the timing of the opportunity, the structure and the simplicity of the business plan and the vision and integrity of the founders and leaders within ACN" explained Elizabeth. “ACN differed from our previous careers. Our traditional business involved trading time for money, whereas ACN allows us to help other people to achieve their full potential as well as achieve ours, all while creating financial freedom." We have been involved with a number of voluntary organizations, but we we've never made money. We would be involved with ACN for nothing - we enjoy it that much. We just love helping others to achieve their own dreams and goals as well as ours," said Denny.

So, what are the Hodgsons secrets of success? “We are focused on the goal. In fact we wrote our Regional Vice Presidents Accepting Speech the day we joined! Attitude is also important - NOTHING was going to stop us from achieving our goals, whatever it takes. We also had to be coachable by listening to our leaders - some of the best - of - the - best in ACN," explained Elizabeth.

Denny and Elizabeth have some valuable advice for new representatives: Be focused on the end goal; don’t listen to negative people; be coachable by your leaders; Stick to the winning system; Have a strong work ethic; Never give in. Our motto is "Whatever it Takes"; and remember: This is the greatest business opportunity on the planet!

My name is Ann McCoy - I used to be a vet and I loved being a vet except for that I was on the treadmill struggling to keep my head above water financially. There was always too much month left at the end of the pay packet and I was determined to find a better way to support my young family.

I knew in my gut as a parent that the best gift I can give my children for their confidence and self esteem is my careful attention and time as their mother. I see so many parents having to miss out on this just to pay bills and put food on the table.

I see my role in ACN as someone making a difference to the next generations by giving parents today the freedom to BE with their children NOW.

It's the upbrining of our youth today that will determine their values and beliefs as they step up to the global leadership responsibilities tomorrow. Leadership through self empowerment, love, passion and integrity come from a family environment that reflects those values.

As a vet I found myself exhausted, with no time for my family, barely paying the bills and living into a future with more of the same was depressing and hopeless.

With ACN I have replaced my full time veterinary income with residual income. I am an international entrepreneur working with people to secure their financial security for their families. I am a leader working passionately with other leaders globally and I LOVE what I do.

I am living a life where I am pursuing my Purpose with passion - I have to PINCH myself that I get PAID so much for doing what I love!
