If you told Spencer Hunn a couple years ago that he would go from a lower-middle class lifestyle to living in the lap of luxury by his mid-20s, he wouldn’t have believed you. But Spencer accepted an amazing opportunity that changed his life and allowed him to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Prior to becoming an ACN Independent Representative, Spencer was a “normal college kid” at the University of Utah where he had a scholarship to play baseball. Between baseball, classes and his work as a missionary, Spencer had no spare time and wasn’t exactly looking for a business opportunity. But being a natural leader and entrepreneur at heart, he was beginning to evaluate how he could make the most money with the most lasting effects.
After being convinced to attend an ACN Regional Event in Los Angeles by a co-worker, his questions were answered. In fact, he found what he believed to be an amazing opportunity he simply couldn’t afford to pass up. “My plate was more than full,” Spencer said. “But I felt I’d be very foolish to let this opportunity pass me by.”
Working out of Salt Lake City, Spencer became the number one Team Coordinator for all of 2003. Spencer was so impressed with ACN that he got his mother involved in the business. She is now a Regional Vice President and has walked away from her full-time nursing career – a development that Spencer proudly calls his “greatest accomplishment in ACN.”
Today, Spencer leads one of ACN’s strongest organizations, all while dominating the top of the production charts and residing as a permanent fixture on ACN’s Top Ten lists and in all of ACN’s recognition clubs. His system has helped countless independent business owners change their lives and has led him to the top position of the company in just over five years.
Spencer’s advice to new independent business owners is simple: “New independent business owners need to take this business as serious as a heart attack. It’s simple but the work must be done. Trust the leadership and be coachable…If you want what successful people have, just do what successful people do.”

Upside: How To Zig When Life Zags
Has your life taken an unexpected twist or turn? Is your life path moving in a direction you didn’t plan? Have you been caught off guard by downsizing, divorce, financial or other losses? Do you find that strategies that worked a year just don’t have the same impact now? You need innovative ways to create stability and direction to manage your life and career more effectively and successfully.
Bonnie Michaels and Allison Blankenship found themselves in similar situations: a life course that was turned upside down by change. Pulling from their many professional and personal experiences, they applied strategies and skills to reinvent their lives to be sustainable and successful. Now, Bonnie and Allison team up to share 29 strategies to move your life in a positive direction, no matter what your age, your income or your career status.

You’ll also discover how to build a community of support for your plans and future success.
Upside is winning critical praise from professionals and individuals…like, Joy, who says that the book is like having “my own personal life coach on every page.”And Philip, who calls Upside a “new kind of 10-step program for life rejuvenation in chaotic times.” Or Hedy, who says “your wonderful book is a must read for anyone going through transition or tough times.

Steven Petrow likes to be quite clear about himself: He is far from perfect when it comes to manners (gay or otherwise). And he’s neither obsessed nor obsessive about place settings and monograms.
What Steven does care about is the importance of treating everyone with respect and decency, which will make for a better and fairer world. As he wrote in the introduction to his new book, his work is about: “Helping people live with greater confidence and self-esteem by learning to lean on simple principles of human kindness; demonstrating how much language matters; urging recognition of LGBT families and their new or invented traditions; and documenting the rites and rituals of our commitment to and love for each other.”
Steven Petrow is especially well suited as a guide to this new century. In addition to writing an earlier book about gay manners (The Essential Book of Gay Manners & Etiquette), he writes the nationally syndicated column “Queeries,” distributed by Q Syndicate to the top LGBT newspapers, and is a regular contributor to Huffington Post, Advocate.com, 365Gay.com, Yahoo! Shine, among other outlets. He was also the first curator of the New York Times’ same-sex wedding blog.
Mr. Petrow is also a former president of the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association, and his previous books include Dancing Against the Darkness (Macmillan, 1990); When Someone You Know has AIDS (Crown, 1993); The HIV Drug Book (Pocket, 1995); The Essential Book of Gay Manners and Etiquette (HarperCollins, 1995) and The Lost Hamptons (Arcadia, 2004).

“How to Effortlessly Improve your child’s immune system”

9/6/11 – Workplace Diversity: Awareness & Inclusion ~ why it matters to all businesses!

When most people think of Workplace Diversity, they automatically think of Affirmative Action, the EEOC, Federal Regulations and discrimination laws.
Well, if I may be so bold, for the small to medium size businesses – for the most part that just doesn’t apply.

Diversity has many definitions. Generally referring to differences and similarities of individuals: Age, color, disability, gender, education, ethnicity, class, family status, gender identity, generation, geographic background, language, life experiences, lifestyle, physical characteristics, race, sexual orientation, religion and even veteran status. Pretty obnoxious list really. So, we’re human and all different. All of that really shouldn’t be necessary!
What I would like to focus on is Awareness and Inclusion.
My intent for the Tuesday’s Toolbox audience is to take this topic and apply it to the solopreneurs, entrepreneurs and the small to medium business owners. What I have seen too often is that they don’t think outside the box. Take that for what it is, outside the box for a product launch, how to handle an internal workplace problem even hiring the right person for the job.
When you think outside the box, diversity can provide potential for greater creativity and innovation. Inclusion is what has the ability to enable a business owner to realize the true business potential AND benefits!
So, instead of putting people in a category or differentiating them, INCLUDE them. When you apply this to the workforce, what this means is that a new hire for example, ANYONE, feels welcomed, supported, valued, important and respected. Simple as that. If you apply the business results to this line of thinking … think of high return on investment. If you have an inclusive and engaged workforce, no matter what that workforce is comprised of ~ you have high productivity. High productivity is reflected on the bottom line, always.
One thing not to be ignored or dismissed, however, is sensitivity and awareness. Your options can be to simply from an authentic place ask someone a question of how best to support them for example. Oftentimes, differences aren’t right on the surface and you need to find a detached solution to help the culture. Or, if you are interested in sensitivity and awareness programs or trainings, contact an HR Consultant with experience in doing that for diverse cultures.
