“When you grow up you tend to believe that life is just the way it is, but life can be a lot greater than that when you realize one simple thing: everything around us was built by people that are no smarter than you. You can build your dreams into a reality and ACN has allowed me to build my life, not just live one.”

Asos Harsin’s path to becoming a European Circle of Champions member is quite extraordinary. As a Kurd from the North of Iraq, Asos arrived in the Netherlands as a refugee while he was just a teenager.
Broke and lacking clear direction in his life, Asos was introduced to the ACN Business Opportunity via a former classmate and was immediately inquisitive as to how this could transform his life and lead to new beginnings. He left that meeting feeling confident that the ACN Opportunity would be his path to prosperity.
With a thirst for knowledge and a strong desire to grow his business, Asos soon found himself attending every training event possible to get new insights from some of ACN’s top leaders as well as to meet other like-minded IBOs.
Now Asos feels that his dreams are truly being realised. This does not mean he intends to rest on his laurels though, quite the opposite, because according to Asos, developing a business with ACN is not a sprint but a marathon and in some ways he feels that this is actually just the beginning of his journey.

Nassim Kebbi worked tirelessly since the age of 17 in a number of different industries but primarily as an air conditioning technician which he did for almost ten years. He felt, however, that the hours were very long and the work was unfulfilling with little prospect for professional or personal growth.
With no concept of the network marketing industry or what it entailed, a young lady invited Nassim to a Business Opportunity meeting in France. He later attended a training event in Paris which cemented his desire to become an Independent Representative and embark on a new chapter in his professional life.
Setting his own hours and working alongside a team with similar interests were just some of the advantages he saw that encouraged him to quit his job after 4 months and be fully devoted to building his business with ACN. He also saw the possibility of expanding his organisation outside of France which greatly appealed to him, as ACN was already operating in more than twenty countries on four continents.
Nassim first became a European Circle of Champions member several years ago and remains an integral part of the 2014 Circle of Champions team.
