Regional Training Insights

I've been so slack in updating this blog of mine, after the International Conference at the Gold Coast, work caught up with me that I haven't uploaded/wrote anything related to that event. My bad, I know. This also reflected in my progress with ACN. But I am renewed now, I have to invite more people and contact my friends for referrals, that is the only way to go. Favor, help, try.

The Gold Coast event was an eye opener for me, being in the same room with people who share your visions and dreams is just so overwhelming. Meeting the co-founder speak about the company and the plans ahead really made me believe that they care for their representatives. I am so blessed to have joined this company at the right time.

Back here in Sydney, we had a Regional Event last Saturday and the learnings and insights I had was so powerful that I made a decision to start working towards my goals.

I was not too clear about my WHY when I joined ACN, all I can think of at that time is this is our ticket to early retirement. Everything changed when I spoke to my parents via videophone. My Mom told me that she wants to have an early retirement but is a bit hesitant because of the possibility of having no money that can pay off the bills. My mom had worked all her life, she is an educator who rose the ranks and now a Vice President of the University back home. She was a good provider to us (together with my Dad but he retired three years ago) and have sacrificed a lot. This is the first time she spoke about taking the early retirement. I told her that I wanted her to enjoy whatever she worked for for the last 40 odd years. I want her to get her lumpsum early retirement pay and do whatever she like --- travel, take up a hobby, go farming, etc etc. I promised her that I will do good with ACN so that I can give her the financial freedom she wants. All she was asking from me is a monthly stipend to take care of the housebills. Its a big responsibility considering we also have a mortgage here in Australia. But everything is possible, anything is possible with ACN. My WHY now became bigger and I have to take this seriously now.

During the Regional Training, SVP Eugene Piccinotti shared a very powerful talk that I want to document here so that I have something to go back to and learn as my journey to ACN continues.
