Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen is my name. I'm a Vietnamese American Entrepreneur living in Orange County California. My amazing fiance JP as well as my happiest Dad Henry are also part of our family. A lot of people know me as @annephung on Instagram, where I chronicle my life from upwards to the downwards. In 1990 I moved to America together with my family, including my brothers and parents at the age of one and half. Without my parents' passion for hard work and sacrifice and sacrifice, I wouldn't share my journey. Knowing I had an opportunity at a better future I aimed to make them proud and had tunnel vision in the direction of success. My goals were set as follows: I'd go to university, get an employment in a company as well as marry and then buy an apartment. The lifestyle I had imagined for myself wasn't what it turned out. The money and the status of my work was not what I wanted to be. I felt as if I wasted my life for an income. While I moved to a new path in life I realized that personal training was what I wanted to do. I am a lover for exercise, enjoy being around people and helping people. My business was founded in 2014. My company is celebrating its 7th birthday this year. As an Asian woman in the industry, there are a many of us. My mission in this field is to help create a sustainable and healthier lifestyle that meets the needs of my clients. In addition, I strive in empowering others to achieve their goals and dreams and achieve anything they wish to do. When my business was taking flight and I was advancing, my mom passed away. This loss is the worst of everything. She has won the eight-year struggle with Scleroderma. Then she's in Heaven and I will always have her close to my heart. The lessons we learn from life often go unnoticed yet they can prove very beneficial. Many ways, the loss of my mother has changed my life. I truly believe she offered me another chance to live through her demise. It was Tet/Lunar New Year Day when she passed away. The opportunity was there to begin her new life as I was given another chance to live an enjoyable and satisfying life. As I approach my 30s I feel a sense of being alive and in the moment. It's not as if I'm just a mere existence anymore. As I tell my story, I hope that my story will be a source of inspiration for those of yours. My hope is that my words can make you aware that you're never alone. That you have the potential to accomplish anything that your heart desires. I wish you to live your life to the fullest and to die with no regrets because death is the only thing promised to all of us during our lives.
