LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT ON: ONE-STAR DIRECTOR MAYA SLADE

1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born in Okinawa, Japan and raised in Columbia SC. I am currently living in Columbia, married with four children, and work full time in higher education. I met Mr. Bradley 17 years ago in the beauty industry, sparking my interest in product distribution, marketing, consulting and modeling.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
This has been a major turning point in my life because I never saw myself in a leadership role. My posture is stronger, my daily habits are way different, I've learned the importance of consistency, and having a strong dose of desire to Win!

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
My children drive me every day. My motivation is knowing that I have access to predictable income and if anything happens to me my earnings are willable to my next heir.

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My mother, Patricia Harkless. Since the passing of my father in March 2016, her health declined drastically. Watching her battle a kidney disease was one of the scariest times of my life. She had other ailments that came as well but never, not once did she let it stop her. Depression, loneliness, and despair was in overdrive but because of her faith in the Lord, she pulled through and made a decision to LIVE. I admire her huge heart and strength. I love my Mommy!

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Committed, Loyal and Unselfish.

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Chase after your dreams, don't let your why be your why not, don't let FEAR hold you back, take the shot and make a decision to WIN for you and your family.

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
I will have FINANCIAL FREEDOM, PERSONAL FREEDOM and TIME FREEDOM all because of PlanNet Marketing.

CONGRATULATIONS ADONNA MACON FOR ACHIEVING ONE-STAR DIRECTOR!

WELCOME TO THE 60/60 CLUB, YOLANDA BENNETT!

PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome new One-Star Director Yolanda Bennett to the 60/60 Club! Yolanda shares, “I am a single mom of two beautiful girls and a schoolteacher by profession. I am passionate about molding my students to become model citizens, but I've always wanted more financial security for myself and my girls. My profession does not provide this. So if you would've told me two and a half years ago that I was going to own a travel business part-time and help others do the same, I would have said ‘No Way!’

“I was praying for a stream of income that I didn't have to punch a clock for and was blessed with so much more. Since launching my business, I've not only achieved my goal of earning an income from home, but I've gained a support network beyond this world. My mentor and the role models in this company have pushed me far beyond my comfort zone. Each leader has shown by example and personally encouraged me to reach for the moon. This business is so much bigger than me. I am now on a lifelong mission to empower and help as many families as I can to create life-changing income and a legacy for their loved ones.” 

WELCOME TO THE 40/40 CLUB, KENZIE KING!

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER JESSICA ALLEN!

PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Jessica Allen to the 20/20 Club! Jessica tells us that she is a millennial from Stone Mountain, GA. She has been an entrepreneur for over 15 years and currently works full time in the beauty industry as both a hairstylist and makeup artist, having been a traditional business owner of a salon in the past. She says, “Both my parents are avid travelers so I got the love of traveling naturally. My favorite places to travel so far have been to Hawaii, Cancun and Cabo. I feel that having a genuine love for people and wanting to help others has helped me to be successful so far. Believing in your product and being passionate about it is the first step to reaching goals in network marketing. The most challenging thing for me in this entirely new industry was learning to get out of my comfort zone and the willingness to be coached.”

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER YAKINEA MARIE DUFF!

PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Yakinea Marie Duff to the 20/20 Club! Yakinea says, “I live in the great city and state of Birmingham, Alabama! I find my greatest joy in spending time with family, reading, traveling, serving in my ministry, helping the homeless, and empowering entrepreneurs and visionaries to rise and operate at their full capacity.
 
“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE traveling. I’ve traveled internationally three times but my greatest desire is to travel the world and visit one hundred countries, while inspiring others to do the same, and through PlanNet Marketing I will have the opportunity to fulfill this dream as a travel professional.
 
“My success in PlanNet Marketing is a direct result of five things:
 
1) Following my leadership and Coach, Mr. Orlanda Moore’s instructions regarding using the system when exposing and leveraging leadership.
2) Moving with a sense of urgency when exposing my prospects to the opportunity.
3) Categorizing and keeping a record of my interactions with my prospects so that I can follow up when scheduled and in a timely manner.
4) The fortune is in the follow-up, therefore I schedule follow-up appointments in my calendar like I schedule one-on-one appointments because they are equally important.
5) Repeat #1 - #4 over and over and over again, while teaching my team to do the same. It’s the mundane things that you master that produce inevitable success.
 
“Success first starts with a decision that you will play a significant role within PlanNet Marketing. I made a decision to play a part in supporting Mr. Donald Bradley with reaching his overarching company goal of 50K active ITAs by January 2019 and 100K active ITAs by October 26, 2020. My goals are very aggressive both personally and corporately; therefore, I work my business like a business and not a hobby. My philosophy: words mean nothing unless they are coupled with CONSISTENT action.
  
“A fun fact about me: I recently became a vegan on October 1, 2017 and it has been a fun and adventurous journey of exploring food creatively.”
 

COMPLIANCE CORNER

It's tempting to take a vacation, or a staycation, or even a long weekend with the family and get out of the habit of "selling." Selling your product, selling your business, selling yourself. Because really, that's what people are buying - they're buying you! Your smile, your attitude, your personality, your charisma, your enthusiasm…if you aren't smiling, they won't be buying. 
 
Don't take the summer off!!! Keep pushing toward that mark, folks. 
 
A. Sell ITAs, our exclusive travel product. 
 
B. Participate in the PlanNet Marketing Compensation Plan (receive bonuses and commissions, if eligible).

C. Sponsor other individuals as customers or Reps into the PlanNet Marketing business and thereby build an organization and progress through the PlanNet Marketing Compensation Plan.
 
D. Receive periodic PlanNet Marketing literature and other PlanNet Marketing communications (like the PlanNetNow! Blog).
 
E. Participate in PlanNet Marketing‐sponsored support service training, motivational and recognition functions and events.

LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT ON: JENNIFER SMITH

1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born in Oxford, OH and lived in Hamilton, OH until I was ten years old. We moved to Port Charlotte, FL and then moved to Venice, FL when I was 13 and moved to Findlay, OH when I was 16 years old. I now live in Van Buren, OH, which is a tiny town just outside of Findlay. I am a single mom of three teenage boys and have been a single mom for eight years now! I love spending time with my kids, attending all their sporting events and just hanging out fishing, boating and just watching them grow. So this business is perfect to be able to stay home and enjoy my time freedom with them.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I have grown so much as a leader with PlanNet. I have become more confident in myself and have been forced to come out of my comfort zone. I still have a lot of growing to do but I am loving the changes and progress so far!

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
My kids are what motivate me and keep me focused; also my team members. I want my team to see my accomplishments and know that if I can do this business, they can too!

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My twin sister is definitely a role model to me. We are best friends and I look up to her for advice every day. She was also a single mom and she raised an amazing daughter!

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Three words that I think describe me are…loyal, honest and committed.

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
The best advice I can give someone is always treat others how you would want to be treated. And never, ever judge a book by its cover.

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
In five years my life will have changed drastically, all my kids will most likely be out of the house and on their way to making their dreams come true. I will definitely be traveling more and definitely be financially free!

MEET NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTOR LAWANDA BAKER!

PlanNet Marketing congratulates new One-Star Director Lawanda Baker, who is a native of Jackson, TN, works in Birmingham and currently resides in Alabaster, Alabama.

An award-winning graphic designer, Lawanda is the epitome of art, saying, “I love art and all things creative.” Her artistic appetite only enhanced her love to explore. Being a travel business owner has allowed her to fulfill a lifelong dream - Lawanda and her daughter Laila traveled to Paris and the south of France for two weeks. Of course that is only the beginning, and they are excited to experience what the rest of the world has to offer.

“This is my first network marketing venture. I am having success and have gained an appreciation for an industry that I never thought I would find myself a part of.” Through exercising the tenets of network marketing, Lawanda has learned to achieve success by simply staying plugged in and remaining coachable. Though she is still very much a student of the industry and has many levels to reach, she eagerly and humbly shares a few tips she has learned along the way.

“Become a sponge; absorb everything you hear and see.  COPY your leader and their work patterns; DECIDE that you will become successful. Leaders are not born, they simply decide to lead, so make the decision and DO. And once you have made that decision, position yourself to be groomed into the best leadership version of yourself! My Coach, Mr. Moore, tells us that in order to function at a high level of leadership, you must not only coach, train and develop your team, but YOU must be OPEN to being coached, trained, and developed as well. Last but not least, never give up -  STICK and STAY!

“Here’s a fun fact:  When I first had the opportunity to actually meet Mr. Bradley, I was a proud Bronze Builder! I had been attending events and watching the leaders. I asked him to hold me accountable to ranking up by agreeing to take a selfie/picture with me at every level. At that time my vision was limited to becoming a Gold Builder. I was SUPER proud to take my One-Star selfie and my vision has expanded! So, Mr. Bradley…I am looking forward to a LOT more selfies in our future! 

MEET NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTOR YOLANDA BENNETT!

PlanNet Marketing congratulates Yolanda Bennett for achieving One-Star Director! Yolanda was born and raised in Newark, NY by her dearly loved grandmother, who was her first mentor and role model for strength, courage, and consistency. 

Yolanda tells us, “My interests are exploring new places and foods around the world, reading, and spending time with my two beautiful daughters. I have been to Jamaica, Bahamas, and Dominican Republic, but since becoming a travel business owner, my bucket list has expanded twofold.” 

Yolanda shares these tips for her success,“I highly encourage everyone to stick to the system and always remain coachable. These two and a half years have been a process of growth and learning this profession of network marketing. You are going to experience the growing pains but it’s so worth it because the end result is freedom from all the struggles that made you launch your business in the first place. There isn’t anything else out there that will position you to free your family and leave a will vs. a bill for your family. Stick and stay and you will receive your pay.”

When asked about achieving success quickly, Yolanda says, “I wouldn’t say two and a half years was quick, but I will say it’s a short timeframe to work to give yourself a minimum $12K raise that will continue to grow “residually” as long as you focus on helping others. When you help people you are blessed by default.”
 
Fun fact: “Most people don’t know this about me, but I don’t love being the center of attention although I’m a social butterfly. I enjoy helping others but I’d rather do it from behind the scenes...lol.” 

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB SHATAWANA JOHNSON!

PlanNet Marketing is proud to welcome Shatawana Johnson to the 20/20 Club! Shatawana tells us, “I was born and raised in Fayetteville, NC but I now live in Greensboro, NC. I am the mother of three absolutely beautiful daughters who continue to push and motivate me to do more than even I thought possible. My interests includes reading, learning new things, travel (of course), and spending as much time with my family as I can. I have done some travel, but will definitely do more in the near future. My favorite is to be on a cruise ship visiting different places.
 
“My success with PlanNet Marketing is being coachable. I understand that I have not done this type of business before and how important it is to follow the lead of those with proven success. I am always sharing this wonderful opportunity with everyone I know and meet. It’s also important to me to stay plugged in and make the meetings, especially the conventions. To be around others who are doing what you are doing just takes my motivation to a higher level.
 
“A fun fact about me is that I am a hilarious person to be around. I love to see people happy and smiling and doing better, living better. This business has let me be myself, even while it stretched me to be better. I am doing things that I have always wanted to do, but just didn’t know how to make it happen and PlanNet Marketing has given me the vehicle to do those things, and I will forever be grateful.”

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBERS HANNAH AND CRAIG PARKER!

PlanNet Marketing is proud to welcome Hannah and Craig Parker to the 20/20 Club. The Parkers are from Derby, United Kingdom. They have two sons - Lewis, 9 and Ellis, who is just 3 weeks old! 

Their interests include socializing with friends, eating out and visiting new places. Travel experiences range from their amazing honeymoon to Mexico, numerous trips around Europe, and now an upcoming visit to Atlanta for this year’s PlanNet convention! 

“Our journey since joining this business last July has been just brilliant. This is our first experience in network marketing and the friendships we’ve formed with fellow team members are so special and truly invaluable. The fact that we can now picture a future that creates true time and financial freedom is incredible! 

“We are very close to achieving One-Star Director and have such a supportive team behind us. We love inspiring others to want to change their lives for the better and providing as much coaching and support as we can. We would absolutely advise to form strong relationships with your uplines and team, as you’ll all help each other to reach those goals! 

“Trust your vision and don’t be afraid to dream big! If you’re having a ‘down day,’ go back to why you’re doing this in the first place. It’s all to play for and we’re so thankful for this opportunity!”
