now we get to promote two dynamic ladies
one spent twenty seven years as an associate broker and realtor
whose primary focus was providing for five-year-old daughter
the other was a trial lawyer in international law and the mother of
three
both at previous network marketing experience in different companies
but both those companies have something in common
people let them down in a major way
and as a result they were negative toward the industry but they knew the
business model worked
they just need to find the right company
after meeting they became best friends as well as business partners
and today share the honor of the honor of this great promotion
please help us promoted the position of regional vice president
nancy hulsman and and dawn connelly
before ACN i was on the
fast track to becoming a partner
at an international law firm
i had a great income but i had no quality of life
and there is no light at the end of my tunnel
after eight years of the trial lawyer
i realized that
every night i was there
so were the partners and every
weekend i was there so were the partners
i remember one night i came home from work in time to say goodnight to my
daughter who was only two years old at the time
when i came in the door
she told me she didn't want me she wanted the nanny
and i decided right then and there that i was not willing
to let a corporation
or partner
dictate the moment in my children's life i was going to have to miss
i decided
that i wasn't willing to sacrifice the most important
job that god gave me
being a mother
so i was really fortunate i was introduced to the industry of network marketing and i
got to see where i could have a great quality of life build a great income
and pursue the reason i became a lawyer to help people
so we found the company and got started and i built a team
but two-and-a-half years later
the company changed the compensation plan
and then they stopped paying people and then they went under
and it was one of the darkest hardest times of my whole life i felt like a
complete failure
like i'd let all these people who
followed me and trusted me down
today i am so thankful for that failure
because it allowed me to meet my business partner and i my best friend nancy hulsman
and it required me to have to have the strength to get back up again to find ACN
and when this all came crashing down Nancy called me
while i was on a vacation and she said dawn i found a company with integrity with a
track record and i want to thank her for having urgency of calling me on my
vacation 'cause urgencies everything in this business
and in this journey
nancy's been an incredible business partner and she never makes excuses
during the last two weeks of our regional vice president run
her mother was living with her in the final stages of alzhiemers
for uh... refrigerator broke she ahd to put both her dogs down and her best friend was
hospitalized and we've a saying on our team
you can't make excuses
and money at the same time
our mentor leanne gabriel taught us what's possible with sacrifice and hard
work no one knows that sacrifice like my husband brian
he's been my best friend since i was eleven years old
and he's home every night after he runs his own business all day to be with our three
kids so i can go out and pursue my dream
and do pbr's every night
and i just wanna thank him and i wanna thank may three kids for being my
why because i learned that you can be a regional vice president
and a great mom
that failure doesn't define you it's how you handle the failure and i learned that with very hard work that there is not much competition
i feel so blessed
to have found ACN and the great leaders of this company
the mentors that we've had
the founders it's just completely changed my life
that i'd learned so much in this journey to become a regional vice president
i had two people my best friend and business partner dawn connelly and my
mentor mis leanne gabriel
you taught me
becoming an rvp is not about success and failures
but it's about stretching yourself
and i knew that i had to
learn to stretch the way that i thought
because i lived in a life of fear
i lived in a life of uncertainty
not knowing every day when my next paycheck was coming from even though i
had a successful practice of real estate
i couldn't let go of this fear i grew up with it as a child my father died when i
was very young
and my mom was left with three small children
we struggle
you know every day we didn't know how we were gonna make ends meet
had very small Christmases may be one gift each i never had a bicycle as
a kid
that these were two things disappointed me in my childhood these weren't things
that you know let me down
what let me down
what haunted me
was the fear that i saw every single day in my mother's face
because she was scared
she didn't know what the next day would bring and what was going to happen she
couldn't get the life that she wanted to give her three children
and i grew up learning that fear
and i didn't want to repeat that cycle
you know i found myself
in the same situation i got older i was a single mom i have a five-year-old
shes my everything she's my why
when i saw that there was a opportunity
that i could build a business
that would not only pay me my family now
but continue to pay my daughter
and have something that i could give my daughter
but i could give her was that she did not have to look in the face of a mother
with fear
with insecurity
and that was so
important to me
i will tell you that this journeys been incredible
you know we joined ACN in june of two thousand and eleven
it's been such a ride
and it is never let us down not once
and i'm just so thankful and grateful for everything that ACN has done
and it can do for anyone so thank you so much
we're looking forward to building a team developing leaders helping other people
achieve the same
success and even more than we have passing the baton creating other leaders
giving this gift of ACN to as many people as we possibly can and just
showing them how they can achieve the dream that they want
just by plugging into this proven system
i'm so proud of these guys uh... they work so hard
their just there tireless effort is just uh it's amazing to watch them work and
uh... you know one thing i can say to anybody is uh... if you're going to do this do it as a team make sure your
spouses significant others on board
because ya know with teamwork you can get it done
