John had been a corporate trainer since 1990 presenting professional development programs to many companies, large and small. Prior to this, John and Jarmila created a chain of 10 fitness centres with 10,000 members, the success of which was featured as a cover story in an Australian Success Magazine.
John and Jarmila were doing well financially and creatively when first introduced to ACN. "Actually, it was completely serendipitous. I received a call from an old acquaintance who had already experienced financial success in another network marketing company. He mentioned that this opportunity was at least five times better. After two and a half years with ACN I agree with him."
"To say everything would sound all inclusive may not be believable, but for me everything about the company was appealing... the idea, the leadership, and the fit for me really made sense. Significantly though, ACN’s future expansion plans into new countries and the future of telecommunications were the clinchers!"
From day one Jarmila was delighted. "Her only desire was for me to be happy with what I was doing. Within weeks of joining ACN she commented that I was back to the excited, energetic happy person I was before I was engulfed by my traditional business."
"My advice to anyone getting started is create a personal vision for your success, make sure that this is 'other people centred', set an action plan with major and micro steps you need to take and manage your emotions by developing your emotional maturity."
"Remember, if you know where you are going and you are headed there with the mental certitude of being successful, people will want to be a part of what you are doing."
