- Everyone has a story. Whats yours? -<br />

know what we wanted to do. However, he got<br />

a call from a headhunter one day about a job<br />

opening here in Elko, and he took it! He was<br />

working for the company here for about a year<br />

and a half before retiring again, and we love<br />

it here! I can’t say enough good things about<br />

Elko. Elko has everything I need; it’s just a really<br />

cool town. We have a great place in Spring<br />

Creek with an uninterrupted view of the Ruby<br />

Mountains! We love it so much that we plan<br />

our vacations around what’s going on here in<br />

town! If something big is going on in Elko, we<br />

don’t leave!”<br />

Well, we’re glad you and your husband love<br />

it here so much! Now, let’s talk about your<br />

business, ACN. I mentioned in the opening<br />

paragraph of this feature that there could be<br />

many different reasons why someone may<br />

want to start a home business. Usually, these<br />

reasons come from younger people looking<br />

to venture out on their own. What motivated<br />

you and Larry, a couple of retired individuals,<br />

to start working in this way? “ACN is a way for<br />

Larry and me to make extra, residual income<br />

without having to work eight to five. We have<br />

three kids, and two of them are diabetic and<br />

have been, practically, their whole lives; one<br />

of them we’ve almost lost twice. She spends<br />

a lot of time in the hospital and the ICU; it’s<br />

very scary, as a parent, not to be able to do<br />

anything for your kids. Also, unfortunately, the<br />

medical program in our country is not the best.<br />

Even though my kids are working, they need<br />

extra help; they can’t even afford to buy the<br />

medical products they need to stay alive.”<br />

Gosh, that is a compelling motivation. As a<br />

parent myself, I understand the drive behind<br />

doing whatever we need to do to help our kids.<br />

I truly commend you and Larry for doing that,<br />

Stephanie. Do you enjoy what you wake up<br />

and do every day? What’s the upside of being<br />

a part of ACN? “There are a lot of upsides to<br />

ACN! It doesn’t matter where you are; you can<br />

work this business anywhere because all you<br />

have to do is be willing to talk with and get to<br />

know people. Our company<br />
