He co-owned 5 cell phone stores working 7 days a week and was bartending and working at a catering business in-between it all. She was coaching sailing, waiting tables and looking at attending school. You could say that for Jeff Street and Janet Thacker free time was limited. Both friends were introduced to ACN separately, but they didn’t have time for a new business opportunity. But when they were reintroduced to ACN – still busy and struggling for financial freedom – Jeff and Janet weren't allowing it to slip through their fingers once again.
Jeff had network marketing experience before ACN, but said it lacked a strong support team of leaders. But with ACN, he saw top-producing individuals who were willing to work with Jeff and show him the road to success.
Janet had seen the unlimited financial opportunity and the ability of time freedom. What further piqued Janet's interest was the training system. Not having a business background herself, Janet said, "There was a support and training system put in place, which allowed somebody who has no background in business, to go out and be successful."
Today, Jeff and Janet continue to pass on that system. Janet works the business in the Northeast bringing enthusiasm to the thousands in their ACN family while Jeff spends his time in California introducing others to the ACN Opportunity. Together, the two friends and business partners are unstoppable.
It took only six, short months for Jeff to take on ACN full-time; and within a year, he had paid off his maxed-out credit card debt. In nine short months, Janet left behind the coaching and the job as well.
"Special skills or talent is not really important in finding success in network marketing. It's more so being sold out to a system and making personal sacrifices to bring a strong work ethic to table," said Jeff. Both weren't oblivious to work ethic – it was their drive and dedication that brought them to the lifestyle they've always wanted.
As far as future goals that the power-team has in mind, both want to inspire and help others reach the same, if not more, success than they've experienced – and with a goal of reaching Senior Vice President in 2011, Jeff and Janet would definitely make a lot of dreams come true. |
