This first person was a general contractor looking for a way to rebuild
his life for his family in a diminishing economy.
When he discovered ACN he realized that this was an opportunity for every
single one of them,
and soon transformed his dream into his family business.
Please help us promote to the position of Regional Vice President
Darrin, Levi and Enedina Howell.
You know I'm just blown away right now. I grew up in Milwaukee.
One thing I grew up with was
an insatiable appetite to have more work ethic than anybody else in my
neighborhood.
You know I didn't have just one paper route, I had
7. When I can hire people to do my paper routes and I could go bail hay,
that was just the way I worked. I worked hard my whole life.
I became a contractor at a very young age, just trying to follow my father's
footsteps.
When I saw my father being the guy that I always want to be I realize one thing,
he was time broke. And I watched his world wither away.
You guys, what did I do? I followed that same path.
I worked as hard as I could. I feel I became successful at the age of 25. I
feel like I became twice as successful at the age of 35,
never knowing how to work for anybody always been able to work for myself.
Created an entity that I thought would last forever for me and my family.
One thing that was shocking to me
guys, when my world came crashing down, is that I could have just
went and worked anywhere because I would have been a better Dad, I would've
been a better husband.
But what did I do, I just worked all the time. For what?
I knew you guys when I walked onto a job site and I ended up with a magazine
that had a ACN on the cover
I just wanted to order a video phone.
saw one. You want to know what's so crazy you
guys, at that point I was so broke in my life and I was so in debt
and I didn't want to tell my family that we were about to lose everything.
I didn't want to say that we're gonna lose our house
I didn't want to say we're going to give our vehicles back
I didn't want to give my boat up that I was going to take my boys fishing on someday.
So when I did lose everything you guys,
I knew one thing I was never
ever ever ever going to do something once and only get paid once
ever again.
I read in that magazine that I had found a network marketing company that Donald Trump
endorsed.
I handed it off to my wife and I said I've zero-interest. She call me at work five
days later and said, I think this is the answer to our prayers, I said I think you
drink the koolaid.
You wanna know something you guys,
she was right. 108 days later we were team coordinators.
A year later we were judging the Celebrity Apprentice.
You go from Amish workers and skill saws
to Littlejohn. You guys this has been our answers to our prayers and so many others.
Does anybody feel like their dreams have come back?
Our audience guys wasn't as great then. You can take any industry,
nobody was building multimillion-dollar homes anymore and even if they could they
couldn't borrow the money anymore.
You want to know something, who's our audience today
for what we have? Everybody. So the only thing that keeps us from being
successful is businesses are work ethic.
You wake up every morning, you wake up earlier now. You grab a hold of this,
you and show this business to as many people as you possibly can.
You guys I was on my knees for 12 days praying for an opportunity. I prayed with
my wife for 26 years of marriage.
My prayer changed. My prayer became very desperate. My prayer became the prayer of
J Bess. And guys, look at where we're at. Me and my sons
have drawn closer than river. We did this as a family. You guys, I know what it's
like to have everything and I also know what it's like to spend the night my car
and never tell my family.
Vowing that I would never ever be outside of residual income ever again.
And we're just starting. We're going to work harder now than we've ever worked before and
we're looking forward to it. I going to say for the next couple of minutes you
need to hear from my amazing support system,
the most amazing business partner I've ever had in my life anything that I've
ever done, my son Mr. Levi Michael Howell.
Thank God
for ACN.
I thank God for parents that believe in me and the opportunity to build
the business,
to build a dynasty with my Mom and Dad. And it's something that
I never thought I would ever be doing.
This is the most significant moment of my entire life,
and I will forever be remembered by many generations of the Howell family to come.
And I I just I want everybody to know that anytime you're trying to
achieve success in anything its always,
always going to be easier to quit when there's challenges
that are trying to knock you down. But it's always worth it
when it comes to staying on the path,
not giving up, and never quitting and keeping on track where
you know you need to go. Thank you everybody.
Probably one of the greatest things you can do is is grab a hold of the ACN system,
learn the system, use the tools. Everything that they have is so dynamically
greater than they've ever had before.
So my my suggestion to every brand new IBO is grab a hold of the system,
learn it, learn the compensation plan, put it all the way in your hearts
and show every single person that you possibly can. And take every opportunity
to surround yourself with people much greater than yourself.
And learn from them, soak up everything that they do,
everything they say, like a sponge. The next step is definitely
running as hard as we can towards Senior Vice President, taking advantage of
the options that are there that we have now in place with ACN,
but also to fulfill the dreams that we once had.
You know I'm on the outside ACN and we've had dynamic dreams that we want
to do with family and build learning centers
around the United States and teach people entrepreneurial, and give people permission
to be successful.
So from here on out, it's really totally putting our dreams into place and
working as hard as we can towards them.
The greatest part of our journey, has just begun,
and we're very blessed to share that with ACN.
