Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen, a Vietnamese American businesswoman, lives in Orange County California. I have a wonderful fiance named JP as well as hapless father Henry. My Instagram account is @annephung and the majority of my followers are. I share my day-to-day life, both my good and bad days. In 1990 I moved to America together with my brother and parents when I turned one and a half. If it wasn't for my parents' passion for perseverance and sacrifice, I probably wouldn't even be here sharing my life. My parents were the source of my inspiration and helped me become prosperous. My plan of life was: I would study at university, land work in a corporate as well as marry and then buy a home. This was my vision of what success would look like. But the reality of life changed my plans. In 2013, I realized that I was not happy being in my job as a corporate employee. Money and status did inspire me. I believed that I was just wasting my time in exchange for an income. In 2013, I discovered that my true passion was working out. I also enjoyed having fun and being able to aid others. In the process of pursuing this direction change in my life, I started to find private training. I began my business in the year 2014. I am celebrating my seven-year anniversary this year. Few Asian women work in the industry of fashion. My aim in the industry is to build a more durable and healthy lifestyle that can meet the demands of my customers. It is my goal to encourage others to chase their dreams, and to achieve the life they've always wished for. While my professional life was taking off, I suffered the most devastating loss in my life- the passing of my mother. Following an 8-year battle with Scleroderma, she is currently resting in Heaven. I will never forget her and will always keep her in my thoughts as well as my heart. The lessons of life are often hidden from us yet they can prove very valuable. The unexpected death that shaped me for good. And I really believe I was given a second chance at life. Her death in the year of Tet/Lunar New Year Day was the chance to create an entirely new chapter. To me, it was my second chance to live a fulfilling life. As I approach my 30s, I have a sense of living and being alive. It's not that I'm just another number. As I tell my story I hope my thoughts will resonate with those of yours. It is my wish that my words can help you realize that you're never alone. You have the potential to accomplish anything that your heart desires. My hope is that you will live the life you want to live and have your death be without regrets, because that's all that we have to be confident about in this life.
