THE SECRET OF SUCCESS WITH QN EUROPE
If you look around the network industry, you don’t come across them very often: top executives under the age of 25, especially women. QN Europe is an interesting exception in this respect. And not only, but especially in Italy, a country that these days rigorously prohibits any of its citizens from having external contacts. Bad conditions for a business that thrives on trusting contacts that need to be cultivated on a daily basis.
The two QN Europe managers Rawan Fousfos and Ines Fatnassi describe their impressive career stories. With details that make you sit up and take notice. Ines is 23 years old. Born in Imperia, Italy, with Tunisian roots. She started her career at QN Europe at the age of 19. And when you hear her talk about QN Europe, you immediately sense the respect and commitment she feels for her partner company. Ines emphasizes the word, “commitment”. In her life, it is far more than just a learned word for commitment, but her philosophy of success.
She came to QN Europe through her close friend Rawan. The two women met at the end of 2015. A close friendship quickly developed between the two, even though they live only 30 kilometers apart, it was via social networks. One day, shortly after Ines had her high school diploma in her pocket, Rawan contacted her, told her about a big deal, and the two met in a bar. Ines remembers that she immediately sensed on the phone that her friend Rawan really had something very important to tell her. What Rawan then told her was so forceful that she immediately felt “that it was taking my life in the only right direction”. She “felt that everything about it was honest and right”.
A surprising experience for Ines, as she was in an orientation phase at the time, on her way to university. Nevertheless, it was immediately clear to her that “this is what I really want to do”.
She was ready to go after just three days, three days in which her friend Rawan stood by her sidewhenever her initial courage to plunge into this task without hesitation sank.
However, she was deeply convinced by her friend Rawan and trusted her. Rawan, for her part, described her vision to Ines in clear, fascinating words, which Ines could immediately identify with: to influence people’s lives for the better, without any ifs or buts.
She quickly started with training and shortly afterwards convinced her brother to join her on this career path in network marketing. Nevertheless, the thought that the last necessary spark of conviction was not yet in her heart and mind flashed up from time to time.
QN Europe had not yet been a top priority in her life and so two years passed before she realized what deserved her attention in life. And so she went through a development: first the change of priority, then the change of personality.
That was in 2018, when Rawan took her to a seminar in Lebanon and, shortly afterwards, to Turkey. During those days, she felt deeply that she needed crystal-clear priorities, that her business had to come first and that she had to work hard on herself every day to be successful.
It was at the leadership seminar in Turkey that the penny dropped, so to speak, for the young Italian. She saw and felt that “if I don’t change myself, I won’t become a leader”. And that this path is about personal change, about health of body and mind.
She passed the acceptance meeting, a special procedure in QN Europe circles in which top managers interview new recruits and decide whether they fit in with the team, the way of working and the shared values and ethical principles.
During this groundbreaking experience for Ines in Turkey, she began to take her partners, who until then had been few and far between, with her on her journey. Two or three years previously, she could not have imagined traveling alone, standing alone in front of people in a seminar, bringing people into the business alone who were at least twice her age.
From a reserved girl just in her twenties, she developed into a young woman who knew exactly what she wanted, what she had to do to achieve her vision and how to deal with her people so that everyone could develop their visions and formulate their goals for themselves and ahead of her. “Because,” say Ines and Rawan in unison, “money is just a side effect when you know what really matters.”
Ines: “What I found in the people around Rawan was a group who treated me with respect, honesty and attentiveness and also treated each other in the same way. I could and can rely on them at all times. People who shared their vision with me and with whom I was able to develop mine.” And whom she was also able to help to lead a better life, in the circle of a genuine community of values.
And now, in 2020, what has changed for Ines? She is grateful to have really become a better person. A person who has responsibility and carries it. It’s hard to believe that, according to her friend Rawan, Ines was a reserved person just months before. Because when you meet Ines, you are faced with a tough, courageous young woman, stubborn in the best sense of the word, who is determined to go her own way. She even manages to understand the people she meets as a whole and senses where support is needed from the very first moment.
And so, in less than a year and a half, Ines has already built up a group of friends who, scattered all over the world, are putting their business on a strong and self-sufficient footing.
Rawan is Italian with Syrian roots and is now 24 years old. A young lady who laughs so infectiously and talks about her business with sparkling eyes that no one would want to or could resist this charming offensive and persuasive artist. Rawan has known her closest and best friend Wiam, one of those who is set to become the most successful QN Europe networker ever, for many years. The two were already close friends when Wiam hadn’t even told Rawan about QN Europe. Back then, they were fascinated by his power, his always positive energy, the way he lived his life and enjoyed it, his powerful relationships with all kinds of people.
After some time, Rawan realized that she wanted to share these traits with Wiam – as many do before embarking on a network career, still a little shy and reserved at first. Shortly after, she met Wiam in Turkey and decided to start, finding another important mentor on this journey, Dr. Abdulwahab, who showed her how to program herself for success, which is why a mindset and mind-changing are the first and most important step for a career.
It helped that she never doubted her deep friendship with Wiam, his friendship and unconditional support in all aspects of her life. And a message quickly emerged for her that she has carried out into the world ever since: “If you really want something, then do it, no matter what situation you find yourself in.”
From then on, Rawan followed the guidance of her mentors, usually without giving it much thought, because it was clear to her that both of her mentors were people who knew exactly what was important in this business. She began to read a lot of books and said goodbye to some phases of “laziness“, as she says with an infectious laugh. “I began to take responsibility for myself, I wanted to grow beyond myself and gain control over my ego, which had sometimes led me down one-way streets.”
“Spread love and strength” is her motto and has become her guiding principle since those early days of her career. And she now adds a little more seriously: “There’s a reason why you meet a certain person at a certain time!”. “You have to celebrate everything you want before it happens! – It’s the secret to success!”
And that is also the path she is taking with Ines and all her leaders, especially at this moment of tragedy in Italy and around the world. She wants to and will make her solutions and opportunities available to the greatest number of people.
