LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT ON: TARYN COX

1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born and raised in London, UK. I still live in London with my amazing other half Andre Sinclair and our two beautiful babies. I love travelling, spending time with friends and family, and watching films. My past business highlights have to be the team becoming a One-Star team and being able to help two others hit Director also.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
It has been completely life-changing. I look at things completely differently, I have a confidence and self belief that I never had before, and I finally feel like I am doing what I was meant to do - helping other people.

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
My family, being able to give our children the best life we can, being able to retire my parents and showing them they can be proud of me and the decision I have made to run with this incredible opportunity.

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My mentor Eileen Ross; the reason being, she is one of the strongest women I know but with one of the purest hearts I've seen. I am following her leadership and strive to be every bit the leader she is by following the example she is setting. She has helped me along my journey and taught me so much along the way, and I know I will carry that on with everyone I come into contact with. She is an inspiration.

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Passionate - Humble - Determined

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Don't ever give up. Your journey is your journey for a reason and it is preparing you for all that is to come, to help the people that will be coming behind you and develop you into the leader you were meant to be.

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
It's looking incredible - I will be a seven-figure income earner, I will be helping people on the way to doing the same thing, and I will have begun to invest income into property. I will also have expanded my family ;-)

RACE TO THREE-STAR DIRECTOR!

These Two-Star Directors will soon reach 500 balanced active ITAs and earn another prestigious Director Gold Star!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ONE-STAR DIRECTOR GINA BUCCI!

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER CLARINDA BURSTON!

PlanNet Marketing welcomes Clarinda Burston to the 20/20 Club! Clarinda is the founder of Feed Baltimore, a non-profit organization which has fed and clothed over 2,000 homeless and hungry citizens of Baltimore, MD. She says, “I have also adopted a Women and Children’s homeless shelter where we give gifts to the children for Christmas every year.”

Clarinda loves to help people see their full potential and fulfill their dreams. She loves reading, traveling, movies and spending time with loved ones. She has achieved success at PlanNet Marketing by working hard and staying focused.

Clarinda shares, “Achieving success in PlanNet Marketing is to press forward regardless of the obstacles that will come. Distractions are normal - learning how to persevere and stay on course will ultimately achieve success. I had to work hard to overcome fear of rejection and talk to anyone who will listen.”

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER MONICA FONTENETTE!

PlanNet Marketing welcomes Monica Fontenette to the 20/20 Club! Monica shares, “I was born and raised in Marrero, Louisiana. For the most part, I am a stay at home mom of my three beautiful children (two girls and a boy, 10, 8, and 6) and four adorable pets (one chiweenie and three turtles...yes, three!!) I work part time as a money teller at the Mercedes Benz Superdome and the Smoothie King Arena. Beginning this school year, I will be homeschooling my three children. Some of my interests include traveling, singing with my mom and two daughters, and making many homemade crafts. One of the crafts is making roses out of satin ribbon.

“My travel experiences have been...just to name a few...places like Belize, Cozumel, Roatan, Costa Maya, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, the Virgin Islands, and several states in the U.S. Our family loves to travel whenever possible. Cruises are one of our favorite ways to travel. We have been on many different cruises since 2003. Also thanks to this awesome opportunity, we were able to take our children for the first time to Disney World this past May for my daughter's tenth birthday!!

“I was able to achieve 20/20 by following the direction of my upline director, Mrs. Lavonda Thornton-Bush. She, and many others, believed in me and helped me push through my battles and go beyond my comfort zone. Some advice I can give is to trust God and to just be yourself. Don't just sell the business, but also sell the experience. Tell your story. Another important tip is to always check back with prior prospects no matter when you last spoke to them. They may have not been able to join back when you initially spoke with them, but things may have changed since that time which allows them to be able to join now.

“Keep pushing on and believe in yourself. All of the hurdles that life throws at you are just signs that you are meant for something great!! Your future is made NOT by what you do tomorrow, but by what you do today. Tomorrow is not here and yesterday has already gone. Now is the best time to push yourself past your comfort zone for a better and brighter future for yourself and your family.

“A little fun fact about me…my oldest daughter played as a body double for the main child actress in the movie, Daddy's Home. Also, my upline director, Mrs. Lavonda Thornton-Bush, gave me the nickname, Cruise Queen, because of my extensive knowledge in cruises!”

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER JANITRESS MILES!

PlanNet Marketing welcomes Janitress Miles to the 20/20 Club! Janitress tells us, “I’m from Vallejo, California. I’m a Registered Nurse who loves mentoring new nurse leaders, and traveling with family/friends, I frequent Cancun, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Louisiana. I’m looking forward to more international travel and exposing my daughter to different cultures and destinations.

“My PlanNet Marketing success has come from following the system Mr. Donald Bradley put in place, which includes plugging in, being coachable, having an enormous "WHY," being ok not having the answers, attending the Tuesday meetings in my area, following the PS3, and attending BlackOut/conventions.

“Being a positive, outgoing person has helped in my success, along with my amazing business partners, and the dynamic PlanNet Marketing leadership team (One-Star Director Shaunte Garrett, Three-Star Directors Donn and Tawanda Shamley, and Four-Star Director Eileen Ross.”

THE PLANNET SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON ONE-STAR DIRECTOR CYNTHIA SHELTON!

1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
​I was born and raised in the Motor City, historic Detroit, MI, during a time when life was good. Soon after graduating from the University of Michigan, I moved to Atlanta, GA in search of greater opportunities. I created a career path in the field of accounting and worked for several Fortune 500 companies.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I enjoy listening to music (especially old school R&B), event planning, reading, and of course traveling. Ironically, as a result of personal development and knowledge gained through PlanNet mentorship, these hobbies have become skills.

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
Family and friends are the driving force behind my "why" in PlanNet Marketing. I am a mother to one daughter, Kiana Elaine, who now resides in Austin, TX. I joined the travel industry years ago with the single goal of helping her through college. Fast forward, and she now holds degrees from Stanford University and the University of Michigan, Master of Public Policy. Kiana travels the world and enjoys the millennial lifestyle that I never had the opportunity to experience growing up. Although I sometimes live vicariously through her, it's time to create a legacy that she will inherit. Now it is my time! Ideally, I'd like to take those friends whom I love and care for on this journey with me.

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My role model? This may sound sappy, but the only person, in my adult life, who ever inspired me to do more and be better, to stretch my vision from contentment (with having just enough) to "Dreaming Bigger,” was Mr. Donald Bradley. From the time we met, he has been a positive role model for success. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather be like right now!

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Words that describe me are creative - I'm known as the person who can make something from nothing; nurturing (sometimes to a fault); and FEARLESS, I am afraid of nothing - a characteristic I inherited from my Mom. "Be not afraid,” she would say, “and you can overcome any obstacle.”

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
A word of advice to anyone pursuing their goals and dreams is to "Push and Don't Pause," because "It's Never Too Late.” In my pursuit to find those individuals who will embrace financial independence and a lifestyle upgrade, I often encounter those who believe it is too late to start a new venture when “retirement age" is upon them. I am reminded of a mentor of mine, civil rights icon, Xernona Clayton, who founded the Trumpet Awards at age 65. The show celebrated its 25th year recently, proof that it’s "Never Too Late" to pursue your dreams. At PlanNet Marketing, dreams come true daily in our business.

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now, I affirm that my dream of traveling to the Seven Wonders of the World and having the unlimited resources that 40 years of corporate America never afforded me, will be fulfilled.

BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW FOUR-STAR DIRECTOR TIFFANY MCINTOSH!

RACE TO THREE-STAR DIRECTOR!

These Two-Star Directors will soon reach 500 balanced active ITAs and earn another prestigious Director Gold Star!

DIRECTOR 1.5 ACHIEVEMENTS

Chairman Donald Bradley recognizes One-Star Directors when they achieve the 150 mark in their team building and are on their way to Two-Star Director. Mr. Bradley will work closely with each Director 1.5 to help them reach the Two-Star level!

MEET NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTOR AND 20/20 CLUB MEMBER RHEA PERRY!

PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome new One-Star Director Rhea Perry to the 20/20 Club! Originally from Leesburg, FL, Rhea (pronounced “Ray”) lives on a farm called the Backside of Nowhere in southern Tennessee. She and her late husband, Wendell, homeschooled their seven children for almost 30 years and discovered some strategies and techniques for teaching young people to be business owners instead of employees.

Rhea shares what she has learned about entrepreneurial education with her online community and by speaking at homeschool conventions across the country about home business. She also hosts two annual conferences so that families can meet successful home business experts face to face and learn more about how to educate their young people and themselves to operate successful home businesses.

Now that she is a widow with 16 grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and most of her children no longer at home, she enjoys coordinating trips of all kinds for her students and associates to explore America’s historical sites and natural wonders. She has also accompanied a few of her associates on excursions to Jamaica, Finland and Russia.

When Rhea understood how the travel industry has adapted to the Internet age by allowing agents to be home-based, she immediately saw how the change would explode the industry. Because entrepreneurs spot opportunity, she promptly joined the movement to spread the word. Meeting Mr. Donald Bradley was a special treat, especially when she discovered that his children are enrolled in her alma mater – Auburn University. She looks forward to working with other agents to make Plannet Marketing a household word.

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER MELISSA NEWBERRY!

PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Melissa Newberry to the 20/20 Club! Melissa is from Decatur, IL, where she lives with her husband. Melissa tells us, “I have two grown step-daughters whom we enjoy spending time with. We also love to travel and are huge sports fans! We have traveled to the Dominican Republic, Grand Turks, Bahamas, as well as many family vacations across the US!

“I found that to achieve success is to be consistent with your business, schedule time to work your business and stick to it, be sure to plug into all training, and duplicate the process set. You also need to share what you do with everyone, don’t keep what you do a secret! When prospecting, build a relationship with that person.

“I achieved 20/20 so quickly by devoting myself to my business and my ‘WHY”! I was coachable, listened to my sponsor and directors, and duplicated the process given! You get out of your business what you put into it! I also made it about what I could do for my team and not about myself. I love to see others have a successful business and helping them achieve that!”
