Two young dreamers and the power of determination

Iulian and Andreea grew up in Italy, in a humble, but loving home. From their parents, Iulian and Andreea learned the value of hard work, but also how thankless hard work itself can be: the effort is not always rewarded proportionately in all sectors.

The siblings' parents wanted for their children to have better opportunities than they did, so they insisted on good grades, access to good education in order to have a good job. They were shocked and felt great disappointment when Iulian decided to leave his studies to focus on a business model that his parents did not understand and did not trust. The distress became even greater when Iulian's younger sister followed in his footsteps, even more determined than he was.

From the beginning, Andreea was clear what kind of life she wanted to build with network marketing, what kind of leader she wanted to be and what kind of person it would allow her to become.

Iulian and Andreea never really lost their parents' support, but it took them a while to see that this professional interest was really serious and had the potential to give them the life they wanted and deserved. Very soon, the siblings would be able to prove to their parents how wrong their initial judgement was.

Iulian and Andreea, despite their confidence and enthusiasm, were two inexperienced young people, well aware of their position and everything that was playing against them: youth may come to be seen by others as a weakness rather than seeing potential. They began to follow closely the people who were already achieving results, to copy them and to listen to them. Iulian and Andreea attended events, training sessions and restlessly practiced what they had learned. And then they met Igor E. Alberts, who became their mentor and eventually part of their family.

From the beginning, Igor was intrigued by the siblings, whom he already considered to be a bright hope for the industry and who showed, above all, a winning attitude, whatever their results.

He agreed to be their mentor on one condition: he would demand 200% of them

and would not settle for less. From that partnership were born two polished diamonds, a great friendship, a successful team Success4All and the love between Igor and Andreea, who today are married and have two children.

Old school experience and vision

Igor often says that he hardly felt any interest in new technologies until Andreea decided to take the plunge. Although now it is difficult to consider Igor as a conservative leader in the view of his unique character and his always surprising trainings, to a certain extent, he used to call himself an old school networker. Today, network marketing and new technologies often go hand in hand. Andreea and Iulian have been instrumental in placing their team at the forefront of the industry, with a millennial vision of where markets are headed, and at their current company, the siblings are breaking several moulds.

It's not just about working with a digital product, but safely embracing all digital tools that allow people to work on their business even without leaving the comfort of their home, which is something that has recently acquired special significance. For example, this year, Andreea and Iulian were the hosts of the first Virtual Event of the company they are currently working with, Success Factory.
