I came to the U.S. from Bangladesh in 2001 with no circle of friends or family, and really had to start from scratch. I thought that business ownership was the way to achieve the American dream and so started my first small business. It wasn’t long before I realized that I didn’t own my business but business owned me. There was no time for my family and friends. My routine revolved around my business leaving me no time for the people I cared about. When the recession hit in late 2007, I lost all of my savings and found myself having to start from scratch all over again.
In July 2011, a Philadelphia police officer came to my store. He introduced himself to me and asked me a simple question Jewel, do you look at other ways to make money?”. My answer was “Absolutely”. With my savings gone, I was looking at everything and anything. When I saw the ACN opportunity video, it made one hundred percent sense to me. I had already tried product based marketing previously so when I saw this service based marketing business, it made complete sense to me. Here was a business that did not require you to change anybody’s buying habits. I jumped in right away and through a strong work ethic as well as being coachable I was able to achieve success. I was fortunate enough to get mentorship from the number 1 SVP’s in ACN: Patrick and Michael Maser who stayed with me through all of the ups and downs.
I am grateful that this opportunity came by and I owe my success to the ACN system as well as Patrick Maser and Michael Maser. It’s allowed me to spend more time with my family. My goal is to help the others in my team achieve their ACN goals.
