MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER ARTHUR COX!
Welcome to the PlanNet Marketing 20/20 Club, Arthur Cox! Arthur tells us that he lives in Louisville, KY and has a career in the nonprofit sector. He loves travel, motivational speaking and sports! He also loves the Caribbean, having been there 11 times. He says,”I never imagined that I would be able to travel the world like this. I simply have made the decision that I will give it EVERYTHING! I don't want to leave anything to chance. I will listen and learn from people who have blazed the trail. I will get on every call, I will attend every meeting, get to every big event, and work every day to earn my freedom. EVERYTHING!
“I have control over action alone, not over its fruits. I live not for the fruits of action or inaction. When you let go of the results, inevitably you're going to be rewarded. Service to others leads to greatness.
I'm a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers and University of Louisville Cardinals’ fan!”
MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER MARVA TOWNSEND!
Welcome to the PlanNet Marketing 20/20 Club, Marva Townsend! Marva is from Baltimore and currently resides in Jessup, Maryland. She enjoys bowling, dancing, and traveling - one of the reasons she is now in PlanNet Marketing. Marva tells us, “I have been to many places such as London, Hawaii, Mexico, and California, just to name a few. Since I started with PlanNet I have learned to improve upon my people skills, giving me many more opportunities to provide for my family.
“A little advice that I can offer is that you have to stay patient and consistent and always remember, ‘If you can accept a YES, then learn to accept a NO and keep things moving.’ I communicate well with people, letting them know how this opportunity has changed my life. I try my best to let others know what I do and I love talking to those who are interested in the same opportunity that was offered to me. I love to help people. I love being with my seniors and working with children - it’s always been my passion to nurture and care for others. I just thank PlanNet Marketing for giving me this amazing opportunity to support my family and to continue to grow as an individual.”

2.4 Terms and Renewal of a PlanNet Marketing Business
An IR must renew their IR status monthly by remaining current on their monthly administrative fee of $19.95. If the IR allows his or her business to expire due to nonpayment of the renewal fee, the IR will lose any and all rights to his or her downline organization unless the IR reactivates within 60 days following the expiration of the agreement.
If the former IR reactivates within the 60-day time limit, the IR will resume the rank and position held immediately prior to the expiration of the IR agreement. However, such IRs paid as level will not be restored unless he or she qualifies at that payout level in the new month. The IR is not eligible to receive commissions for the time period that the IR’s business was expired.
Any IR whose agreement has expired and lapsed the 60 day grace period is not eligible to reapply for a PlanNet Marketing business for 4 months following the expiration of the IR agreement. Any IR terminated by PlanNet Marketing may not reapply to do business for 12 months from their termination date.

LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT ON: TWO-STAR DIRECTOR KYRA HARRIS
1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born and raised in New Orleans LA, resided in California for four years, moved back to New Orleans and at age 22 (2010) I packed up my belongings and moved to Houston, TX ,where I still reside. I am the second oldest of five siblings, no children, but I love my nieces and nephews as if they were my own. My hobbies include traveling, shopping, styling hair, dancing, going to the movies, and listening to live music. My past business (that I did not know was network marketing) was selling coffee. I honestly thought that I was just providing good coffee to individuals, not even knowing this was my introduction to this industry.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
PlanNet Marketing has allowed me the opportunity to understand my entrepreneurial rights. I must honestly say that I was the individual that was content with being the employee, yet we all desire higher aspirations. My goals now have changed tremendously because I now choose to BET ON ME. This has allowed me the opportunity to work harder for myself so I can reap my own benefits and not allow a percentage raise to determine my worth. It also helped me understand that I did not have to get a second job to give myself a RAISE.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
Motivation comes in all terms. In the beginning what motivated me was to travel more and save money. Throughout my two-year journey, what motivates me now is continuously helping families understand that YES, a 200 dollar INVESTMENT can change your life and provide you with a financial stability that you will no longer have to desire, because it’s there and ready to be earned. What drives me is making sure I fulfill every task and utilize every GOD-given talent that He has placed in my body and soul to accomplish. I refuse to let them go to waste.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My role model is anyone who aspires to encourage, motivate, guide, and persevere through any storm. If you fit this criteria then you earned this title. I am a person of GREAT character and if you exude that you earn my TRUST.
5. The three words that describe you best are:
MOTIVATED, INFORMATIVE, OPTIMISTIC.
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Don't be discouraged by negative people. They are everywhere and yet not one of them offers to PAY YOUR BILLS.
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now I plan to be a Seven-, Eight- or Nine-Star Director within our company. I will be married with one or two children. I plan to homeschool them and feed them with all the knowledge and POSITIVITY that will establish them for all future aspirations. I will break a minimum of 50 Directors. I will start non-profit organizations that focus on building mother/daughter relationships, as well as start businesses that will aid visually impaired and hearing impaired individuals. I also want to start a non-profit that caters to children traveling and exposing them to different cultures.

CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW 80/80 CLUB MEMBER LYNN HENDRICKS!
MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER TOMALISA WASHINGTON!
Welcome to the PlanNet Marketing 20/20 Club, Tomalisa Washington! Tomalisa and her husband, Freddie L. Washington, have two girls, Jasmin Tyri and Nailah Grace. Her husband pastors a church in Tuscaloosa, AL and Tomalisa is an ordained elder who preaches and teaches the gospel. She also oversees the women’s ministry at their church and for a state fellowship of which they are members. Tomalisa is a mental health professional who worked full time in mental health as a trainer and counselor for nearly twenty years. She also owns an online clothing boutique, is a consultant and coach, and spends a lot of time mentoring young women and working in ministry with her husband. Originally from Mobile, AL, the family now lives in Tuscaloosa.
Tomalisa says, “My interests are travel, personal development, entrepreneurship, and improving communities one family at a time. I’ve traveled to most states within the border of the United States, from the West Coast to the East Coast. My only out of the country trip to date has been to Mexico. However, my husband and I are traveling to Los Cabos this summer and we are cruising to the Bahamas in November. My dream trips are to Paris, France; London, England; and Rome, Italy. I plan to visit those destinations within the next year or two.
“I am achieving success in PlanNet by listening to my success coaches/Directors, staying plugged in, following the PS3 system, and duplicating the process with my business partners. I’m also not a secret agent or rep, I share my business with everyone whom I come into contact. Most importantly, I believe in what we are doing by helping families. It’s not hard to share what you truly believe, nor is it hard for people to buy into what you’re sharing with them about what you believe. People are also attracted to success.
“The way I achieved success so quickly is by opening my mouth, being consistent, maximizing my time, and doing what I say I am going to do. I love this business and when you love what you do, people will sense it and see it. It’s attractive, it’s contagious, and they want to be part of this special thing.
“A fun fact: I’m terrified of any rides at the fair that leave the ground. I stick to the bumper cars and carousel.”
MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER JASON LATHAM!
Welcome to the 20/20 Club, Jason Latham! Jason tells us, “I was born in Philadelphia, PA. My parents and I moved to Bear, DE when I was a teenager. I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur. I am part of the millennial generation looking to do better than the generation before. I am blessed to have two hard-working, supportive parents who have shown me what not to do. My mother (my biggest cheerleader) and my five-year-old son are my “Why.” I can’t give up. My two main goals:
- To make sure my parents are comfortable, knowing that I am able to support them once they retire.
- To make sure my son understands ‘money’ and is financially intelligent, so he won’t make the same mistakes I made when I was younger.
“I am blessed to have traveled all over. I’ve been as far as London, Paris, Cancun, Jamaica, and all across the States. And through this business, I am looking to stamp each page of my passport as many times as I can fit on each page.
“I have been able to achieve most of my success by building online through Facebook. Using attraction marketing, Facebook events, Eventbrite, and just being creative are some of the ways I’ve used to build teams all over the U.S. One technique and suggestion I would offer is to be genuine. People can spot a fake a mile away, even online. I show my personality through my messages, so when we meet in person we have already built an honest rapport with each other. Also, I just have that genuine love for helping people. I want to see everyone win!!”
MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER SHANNON ADDINGTON!
Welcome to the 20/20 Club, Shannon Addington! Shannon lives in Dayton, TX and shares, “When I am not helping people discover financial freedom or working my full time job as an insurance producer, I love spending time with my family. My husband and I like to jump in our Jeep and take road trips and discover new places. We are big Houston Astros fans and watch every game we can!!
“I am just beginning to travel and my husband and I are working on our bucket lists and planning trips. If I can pass along one tip to someone new in the business or someone who has been in the business for a while…DON'T give up!!! I have rebooted my business two times in the past 15 months and know that rebooting is harder than starting fresh, but is well WORTH it!! NEVER GIVE UP!!! Next stop for me is One-Star Director!”
NEWS FROM THE CORPORATE TEAM
COMPLIANCE CORNER
Protect your Matrix position!
PlanNet Marketing uses a Matrix to organize our Reps and position them to earn. The sooner you secure your spot – the better! Don’t lose your position, and the earning potential that goes with it, by making a silly mistake. Are you brand new to PlanNet? Don’t worry – we’re still growing! Every Matrix position is valuable.
At PlanNet Marketing, we are running a business and we expect our Reps to behave as business professionals. We want to support those who are working their PlanNet business – we’ll run with the runners and walk with the walkers, but if you sit down – we won’t stop with you! This locomotive has too much momentum to stop right now.
Make sure you are following the NUMBER ONE business rule – keep your business OPEN FOR BUSINESS by keeping your PlanNet Rep account and website active. If you fail to pay your monthly $19.95 for 60 days or more (that’s just two payments) your account is automatically canceled. By making sure you pay your monthly $19.95 on time every month, you ensure you won’t lose your Matrix position or miss a single commission payment.
At PlanNet, when we turn a Rep account off, the torch is snuffed out and that Matrix position is gone; the account cannot be reactivated. What am I trying to tell you? It’s so hard to say (who would even THINK about doing it?!)...if you cancel…you cannot reactivate (PHEW! I said it). You have to start all over, with a new account, a new Matrix position, without your downline team. That’s rough, folks! Don’t think this means you can just run off and get a new sponsor though - don’t try to change sponsors! We will find you and we will turn you off - again. You’ll have to start over - again. I know sometimes the grass looks greener – but trust me when I say, it’s not. You need to grow where you’re planted. Choosing to voluntarily cancel your account for any reason is SILLY and thinking that losing your position so you can work with Sally Smith instead of John Johnson? It’ll be the same story, but with more work as you start from scratch.
Make the most of your Matrix position, your Rep account, your current team members (upline, downline, and sideline). Find a local meeting, get plugged in, and stay active, folks!
