From stability to sovereignty. From comfort to calling.
Phuong “Fon” Bustillo’s journey is not about running from a bad life but about walking toward a better one.
For over six years, Phuong held what many would consider a dream position: a management role at State Farm, steady income, a respected office title, and professional security. She worked 50–60 hour weeks, had great colleagues, and lived what she thought was happiness.
But something didn’t sit right.
“I was comfortable… but comfort started to feel like a cage.”
This is the story of how Phuong chose freedom over familiarity and why she’s never looking back.
KEY FEATURES
Phuong Bustillo left a stable corporate career to pursue freedom, flexibility, and ownership with Symmetry. Through personal growth, mentorship, belief, and community, she transformed her mindset, built a business, and created a life where she can lead, travel, grow, and raise a family on her own terms.
WHEN COMFORT BECOMES THE CEILING
Phuong wasn’t unhappy at State Farm.
She was successful.
But success without ownership has limits.
She knew deep down that building a family while being trapped inside office walls with permission required to live her own life wasn’t the future she wanted.
“If my child was sick, I didn’t want to ask permission to be a parent.”
That moment became her pivot.
A LEAP SPARKED BY CURIOSITY
Her introduction to Symmetry didn’t come through a referral or warm connection.
It came through LinkedIn.
At first, she didn’t trust it.
“I thought it was a scam. It sounded too good to be true.”
Like many professionals conditioned by corporate culture, Phuong had never seen a business model that offered income, flexibility, leadership, and ownership without sacrificing life.
She declined the first opportunity.
Then something pulled her back.
She applied again.
And this time, she said yes.
THE REALITY BEHIND THE DREAM
Transitioning into entrepreneurship wasn’t instant success.
In fact, Phuong struggled.
“I didn’t make consistent sales for four to five months.”
Despite her sales background, Symmetry required her to rediscover herself, confront hidden limitations, and grow mentally before growth showed up financially.
“I had flaws I’d been sweeping under the carpet. This business made me face them.”
That’s where belief came in.
BOROWED BELIEF CHANGED EVERYTHING
One of Symmetry’s cornerstones is belief and Phuong leaned on it when her own belief wavered.
“If you don’t believe in yourself yet, borrow someone else’s belief.”
Mentorship, positivity, and community carried her through moments when quitting felt easier than continuing.
And she didn’t quit.
PERSONAL GROWTH BUILT THE FOUNDATION
Phuong credits reading and mindset work as her greatest breakthroughs.
Books like The Power of One More reshaped her perspective:
“Hard days don’t disappear. You just get stronger.”
Her growth wasn’t overnight, but it was permanent.
REDEFINING LEADERSHIP
Before Symmetry, Phuong believed leadership meant authority.
Now she knows it means presence.
“A real leader is in the trenches with you.”
She highlights Brian Delaney as a leader who embodies truth, accessibility, and authenticity never sugarcoating, always showing up.
“He’s real. And that’s rare.”
FREEDOM THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
Today, Phuong lives a life built on choice.
- She sets her schedule
• Travels regularly
• Attends conferences and incentive trips
• Works alongside people she loves
• Is building generational ownership
And perhaps most importantly,
She’s becoming a mom while running her own business.
“I never thought I could do both. Here, I can.”
WHY EVENTS MATTER
Phuong didn’t fully understand the emphasis on conferences until she attended her first Ignite event.
“It changed my life.”
Events brought clarity, belief, and conviction she couldn’t get through screens alone.
“I will never miss another conference.”
A MESSAGE TO ANYONE WANTING MORE
Phuong speaks directly to nurses, parents, teachers, professionals, and stay-at-home moms:
“You don’t have to wait until you’re 70 to enjoy life.”
Symmetry offered her an alternative to the traditional path and a future she can pass on.
