Hello Everyone!

It’s hard to believe the holiday season is already upon us and 2011 is coming to a close – and what an incredible year it was. In fact this will go down as a monumental year in ACN – and I hope the same can be said for you personally as well. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish each and every one of you a safe, prosperous and happy Thanksgiving on behalf of the entire ACN family.

The late, great Jim Rohn, a personal mentor and friend of ACN, once shared that success – miracles even – often start with being thankful; that through mastering thankfulness, we bless others, and that’s when true miracles occur. So let’s pause and take a moment to remember what this holiday is truly about – giving thanks for our many blessings, both big and small. The greatest of life’s treasures can’t be measured in dollars and cents, or stored in a safety deposit box. The greatest of life’s treasures is found in our family, friends and loved ones.

So as you gather around your holiday tables, I hope you will take some time to reflect on your own lives and to appreciate all you have to be thankful for. I will certainly spend some time reflecting on how thankful I am for each of you. You are the face of ACN; you make everything we do worthwhile. You are life-changers.

Thank you for your part in making 2011 another incredible year in ACN. Best wishes for a happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I look forward to seeing you all in San Diego next week. It promises to be one for the record-books!

God Bless,

On behalf of all the ACN leaders, I have to say our recent Charlotte International Convention was truly one for the history books. The house was packed with people hungry for this opportunity – and their enthusiasm was contagious!  But I truly believe that enthusiasm wasn’t by accident…

In fact, with ACN’s renewed focus on customer acquisition and residual income, we are truly in the midst of a watershed moment, a turning point in our business after which ACN will never be the same!  But what’s more important is this can be a watershed moment for you and your ACN businesses. There has never been a better time to change your life with ACN. There has never been more momentum, more excitement or more incentive to succeed than there is right now.

If you were in Charlotte last weekend, you know what I’m talking about. You can’t help but to get over-the-top excited about the things to come in ACN, like our upcoming appearance on The Celebrity Apprentice on March 27, the launch of U.S. Energy, exciting new tools – and perhaps most impactful – the Compensation Plan Enhancements.   Wow – what an incredible time to be a part of ACN.  I’ve never been more excited about the future than at this very moment.

But even with all the exciting announcements and all the momentum taking place at ACN, none of it matters without each and every one of you.  When you get right down to it, we are a people business – and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we have the best people in the business right here at ACN.  In fact, I was reminded of that during a recent conversation with Darren Hardy, Publisher of SUCCESS Magazine, who delivered an incredible presentation during our Charlotte event.

Following the event, Darren sent me a note about his experiences during our event.  Here is an excerpt from his personal email:

“I am always so amazed at the quality, graciousness, enthusiasm and affection of your people…You have definitely attracted one of the highest quality organizations I know of in the industry, or most any industry there is…Remarkable!  Thank you again for all you do and the difference you are making in the world. I am proud to be able to support your success!”

What a compliment to our organization and to each and every one of you!  ACN is a blessed company, and I believe that when you do things the right way, you attract the right kind of people.  And I couldn’t be more proud of the family of people in place at ACN!

My hope is that you took a piece of Charlotte home with you. That the things you experienced are propelling you to truly capitalize on the opportunity at hand. We’re mere weeks away from our encore appearance on The Celebrity Apprentice. Are you ready? Take advantage of the days and weeks leading up to this event, as what you do today will have a tremendous impact on your business following the show.

The reinvention of ACN starts now!  Take advantage of this watershed moment; shift your mindset to focus on building lasting residual income. Grab hold of your dreams and don’t let go.  It will change your business, but more importantly, it will change your life.  At ACN, the opportunity is yours…take it.

God bless,

Hello Everyone!

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year; a time when we surround ourselves with friends and family, a time to reflect on the past year and a time to look ahead to the New Year with anticipation!

And speaking of the past year, it certainly was a record-breaking one for ACN.  In fact, I’ve never been more proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish in just 12, short months, and I’ve never been more honored to work with such an incredible team of people as each and every one of you.

While it’s easy to get distracted by all the excitement of the holidays, I encourage you to take some time to reflect on your personal accomplishments over the past year.

And remember, no matter what you did – or didn’t do – 2011 is a clean slate and an opportunity for you to start fresh.  And it can be an opportunity for everyone important to you to start fresh as well.  The holidays are a remarkable time when family and friends gather together to reconnect and focus on their relationships.  It’s also a time when we begin to plan our resolutions for the coming year.  Share the gift of ACN with your family and friends this holiday season.  And remember, ACN can be just the New Year’s resolution they are looking for.

With ACN’s upcoming encore appearance on The Celebrity Apprentice, exciting new product announcements and so much more, 2011 is going to be a breakout year for ACN, and it can certainly be a breakout year for you and everyone important to you.  Set some aggressive goals for yourself and your business for the coming year, grab hold of those goals and don’t let go.  And more importantly, don’t focus on the obstacles in your way, because there will always be obstacles.  Instead, focus on your success – and today can be the first day of the best days of your life.

I wish you all the best this holiday season and I look forward to all that 2011 will bring to you and your family.

Merry Christmas and an even more prosperous New Year!

God bless,

Hello Everyone!

Where has the year gone?  It seems to have flown by!  It’s hard to believe it is Thanksgiving and the holiday season is already upon us.

I’d like to take an opportunity to wish you and your families a safe, happy and prosperous Thanksgiving.  I know many of us are already caught up in the bustle of the holiday season, but I believe it is important for us to pause and take a minute to reflect on what this holiday is really about – giving thanks.  In fact, I love this time of year, as it gives us an opportunity to be with family and appreciate all that we have.

And perhaps during the holiday season more than any other time; we are reminded of what’s really important.  In fact, it saddens me to see that more and more businesses are opening on Thanksgiving Day, giving families less and less time to enjoy the holidays together.  While paychecks and bank accounts certainly matter, they are not what matters most. What matters most are our families, friends and loved ones – and there is no better time to give thanks for our many blessings.  As you gather around your holiday tables with family and friends during this season of Thanksgiving, I hope you will take some time to reflect on the past year and to truly appreciate all you have to be thankful for.  As for myself and the other Co-Founders, we are all so thankful for each and every one of you – and for the role you have played in making 2010 ACN’s most monumental year yet.

I look forward to seeing you all in San Diego for our final event of the year, as we officially kick off the excitement of ACN’s encore appearance on The Celebrity Apprentice in the spring of 2011.  Use the momentum created by this historical time and focus on making the final month of this year one of your best yet.  Remember, ACN can be the vehicle that puts your life back into perspective – allowing you to focus on what truly matters most.

Best wishes for a happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

God bless,

Hello again!  It’s not every day that history repeats itself, but that is exactly what is happening at ACN right now.  There’s been quite a stir at ACN the past few months since we announced our upcoming appearance on a primetime television show, and it is my pleasure to be the first to make the official announcement…

ACN is making history for a second time and will be the featured company on an upcoming episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, Donald J. Trump’s primetime reality television hit – coming to NBC next Spring!  Those of you who were with us the last time we were on the show know what kind of impact this exposure can have.  Those of you who weren’t, get ready!

We wrapped up taping for our upcoming episode in New York City last week and, let me tell you, we’ve knocked this one out of the ballpark!  In fact, many of you were there to experience it firsthand, as 450 of ACN’s top producers participated in the taping and selected the winning team of celebrities.   But what you may not have seen is the incredible presentation of ACN throughout the episode.  Talk about some incredible branding for your company!  When this episode airs, there will be no doubt who ACN is.

ACN’s episode airs in March 2011.  But will your business be ready?  The months between now and the airing of the show are crucial, even more so than the actual show itself.  Prior to the airing of ACN’s last appearance on The Celebrity Apprentice, the buzz created resulted in a 46% increase across the board at ACN – in both recruiting and customer acquisition.  And that was before the show!   We anticipate doubling those numbers with our encore appearance, because this time we know exactly what to expect, and we know the power this kind of exposure can have in your business.

So how do you prepare?  Take advantage of the next four months to kick your business into hyper momentum; take advantage of all the upcoming announcements and product launches, as well as the San Diego event – and let ACN’s appearance on The Celebrity Apprentice be the icing on the cake!  We’re working behind the scenes now to put some exciting things in place for the coming weeks, as well as some incredible materials to help you promote the upcoming show, so stay completely plugged into ACN.

We’re making history at ACN, and I assure you, if you take advantage of everything we are putting in place, this can and will be a historical time for you and your business as well.

God bless,

This weekend’s International Training Event is just moments away, and I can already feel the excitement growing throughout our World Headquarters. We opened our doors this morning to begin home office tours. Today, tomorrow morning and Monday we will welcome about 4,000 representatives to our building to check out our new billboard, meet ACN employees and explore our World Headquarters building – I hope you will be able to join us.

If you have the opportunity, stop by the Time Warner Cable Arena tonight from 5 to 7 pm for early check in. Don’t forget to complete your online registration, print your ticket and bring it with you, along with a photo ID.

I, along with the entire ACN team look forward to seeing you this weekend in our hometown of Charlotte, NC. I can’t wait for this life-changing weekend to begin! It’s going to revolutionize your business… just wait and see!

Until next time,

In fact, it was only a matter of time. It’s official: ACN’s upcoming International Training Event, September 10-12 in Charlotte, NC, has sold out!

Every event at ACN just gets bigger and better, and Charlotte certainly won’t disappoint. From history-making announcements, training from the best-of-the-best, exciting recognition, special guest speaker Donald J. Trump and so much more, Charlotte promises to deliver in a big way.

Hopefully you are registered for this potentially life-changing event. It’s not a surprise or a coincidence that the top leaders and money-earners in ACN make it their business never to miss an ACN International Event. Remember, your success is within your reach and ACN’s events will take you one step closer to getting there.

It’s certainly amazing for us to look back at ACN’s events over the years. Our first-ever national event had just under 300 people, and although back then this was an impressive turn-out, the other Co-Founders and I knew this was simply the beginning of where we would one day be – a mere stepping stone of things to come. And today, ACN is selling out professional basketball arenas three to four weeks in advance. In fact, we are selling out venue after venue, event after event in country after country – and we certainly aren’t surprised! In fact, just like the days of 300 people at a national, we know this is only the beginning. I’m certainly looking forward to seeing where this growth and momentum leads ACN over the next five years, and I hope you will join me on this exciting journey.

Until next time,

ACN also just announced that we will be on a NBC primetime television show in the spring of 2011.  We can’t share all the details now, but rest assured this exposure will highlight ACN, our opportunity and our products and services like never before.  You won’t want to miss out on this event.  Stay tuned as more details about this primetime show will be made available in the coming weeks.
