Success: They Did It the Academy Way: Secrets from 26 LDS Filipinos with Inspiring Rules of Thumb

Celebrating 20 Years of Success

This year–2019–marks 20 years that the Academy for Creating Enterprise (the ACE Academy) has been teaching people time-tested and proven business ideals and principles that, when followed, have transformed their lives as they’ve started their own businesses.

The ACE graduates profiled in this anniversary keepsake book offer only a glimpse of the thousands of individuals who have found security and success by applying what is taught in ACE courses and reinforced in nearly 400 ACE chapters worldwide. Below is a sampling of quotes from the profiles contained in this book:

Once I learned how to run the business properly, I found time to spend with my children and husband. I have learned to balance my tasks at work, at church, and at home. Thanks to what I learned at the Academy, I can clearly see how to succeed, help others, and enjoy my life.
