Anne Phung Nguyen

My name is Anne Phung Nguyen and I am an Vietnamese American entrepreneur residing in beautiful Orange County California with my amazing fianc JP and my happy-go-lucky Dad Henry. People often recognize my username as @annephung on Instagram which is where I share my adventures ranging from upwards to the downwards. It was 1990 that my family relocated to America. When I was of 1 and 1/4 I was accepted into my parents. With the opportunity to have the best life possible, I wanted to do the best I could to please them. I was focused on my success. I believed that my life would be a certain way: graduate from college, get an executive position, be married, and then start a family. Though I believed that this was the ideal definition of successful, my life was not following the plans. In 2013, I realized that I was not happy being in my company job. The status and the money didn't make me feel happy. I thought I was just wasting my time in exchange for a paycheck. While I moved toward a new direction in my life, I realized that I was a personal trainer and the career path I was looking for. I have a love for fitness, and I love being in the company of people and am eager to help people. The year 2014 was the year I began my small business and this 2021 will see me celebrating my 7th year anniversary. Being a Asian woman in the industry, we are among the many of us. In order to be an innovator in my field and provide quality coaching to enable others to achieve an improved and happier life through creating a lifestyle tailored to suit their requirements and targets. It is my goal for me to help others chase their dreams, and to lead the lives they've always wished for. My career exploded as I was enjoying the highest success of my life. However, my mother passed away at the same time that my professional life began to fall off. She fought a long and arduous struggle with scleroderma, and is now in Heaven as well as with me in my mind and heart at all times. We can learn a lot from life, even though it may be difficult to see it now. Many ways, my mom's death affected me in many ways. I truly believe she offered me another chance to be a part of her story after she passed away. Her passing at Tet/Lunar New Year Day was the chance to create a new life. To me, it was my second chance to live a fulfilling life. The thing I'm feeling now as I enter my 30s, is an experience of awe and vitality. It's as if I'm truly living and not just existing. In sharing my story I hope that my story will be a source of inspiration for you. I hope that my words will help you realize that you're not alone. I believe that you are blessed with the potential to accomplish whatever you want to achieve. Since death is the only thing we have in life, I hope you enjoy living your life to the fullest and leave with no regrets.
