MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER KURTIS SAMPSON!

Welcome to the 20/20 Club, Kurtis Sampson! Kurtis is originally from Brooklyn, NY and currently resides in Stone Mountain (Smoke Rise), GA. He loves traveling, reading, fishing, bowling, and working in his yard. He also enjoys spending quality time with his family, and serves as a deacon in his local church. 

Kurtis says, “I’ve traveled all across the US including Alaska, and internationally I’ve been to Japan, Africa, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, Greece, the Caribbean, Canada, Ireland, and Greenland.  Also, I’ve cruised with Carnival and Royal Caribbean; truly a great experience.”

Sharing his tips for success, Kurtis tells us, “I’m achieving success by being coachable; reading daily; plugging in to every method of communication; attending the meetings I qualify for;  and by duplicating and sharing the things that have been taught to me by my upline under the leadership of Three-Star Directors Walter and Tiffany Powell IV, One-Star Director Alfred Ingram, and One-Star Director and Sponsor Baron Brown. It's been such a humbling experience thus far, and I'm dedicated to helping as many families as I can.”

On a lighter note, Kurtis relates, “I’m often referred to as ‘that Uncle’...you know, the one at the family reunion that everyone likes!  I love to have fun, love to joke around, but can be serious at the same time. My greatest accomplishment in life to date has been my children, ALL OF THEM (they're not all my biological children, but gifts from God! LOL). 

“In order to achieve success, you must be coachable!  As a first time marketer, I understood quickly that I didn’t know much about the industry. My previous experience as a corporate recruiter and client services manager has helped with my recruiting efforts. However, I listened to what my upline leadership shared regarding duplication. There’s nothing new to create; follow the processes that have been put in place. The PS3 works, staying plugged in motivates you, reading sharpens you, and getting my business partners to follow the same process will help grow our business. I have a daily goal that keeps me moving, which is to conduct income earning activity 5-8 hours of the day.”   

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER LORIE BANATTE!

Welcome to the 20/20 Club, Lorie Banatte! Lorie was born in Newark, NJ and raised all over New Jersey, having lived in Newark, East Orange, Hillside, Orange, Rahway, and Irvington, where she currently resides. When her dad was in the military, she lived in North Carolina at age two and in Inglewood, CA for about three years while he was on duty with the Marines. She says, “This is probably why I am a Cali girl at heart, but my husband is leaning towards New York where he was born and raised. My family is also of Haitian descent.”

“I enjoy living life to the fullest. I thrive on experiencing the new. I am what one may consider a thrill seeker and an adventurer. I have gone skydiving, paintballing, flying in a hot air balloon, skiing, hiking, and many more activities. I also enjoy writing poetry and inspiring others. My love language is quality time, and the time freedom I get is essential so that I can spend time with my husband, Jeff, my 12-year-old daughter, Rihelia, and my two-year old son, Taiji. They are my ‘Whys’ that make me cry - which is strong enough to propel me to fly.”

“The only country that I was able to travel to was Haiti and both times was to visit family. One of those times I attended a funeral. This is why I am so thankful that I get to travel inexpensively and this travel business affords me the opportunity to travel more and experience more. I have visited and had much fun in the following states: Georgia, California, Pennsylvania (Poconos), New York, Wisconsin, Maryland, Washington D.C., Connecticut, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Florida. I plan to conquer all 50 states and I am excited to finally have trips planned for 2017 where I will be vacationing outside of the United States. Costa Rica, Fiji and Bora Bora are my ultimate dream vacations.” 

When asked about her achievements and success, Lorie says, “All glory goes to God. Everything begins and ends with Him. Faith as small as a mustard seed does move mountains. The number one thing also is to be coachable. I extend my deepest gratitude to my mentors, Three-Star Directors Kenny and Natalie Graham, who dedicate their time to pour into us, instilling their wisdom nuggets and stretching those who want to be stretched. And their love and passion is beyond measure. Also, staying plugged in is absolutely vital no matter how one may feel. Four-Star Director Orlanda Moore’s motto is we do not make excuses, nor do we accept them. He started the business in the deserts of Afghanistan and stayed determined, continuing to work with us on a personal level. That is admirable! It was that Super Saturday in NY on December 10, 2016 when my husband’s eyes opened and he understood the value of our travel business. I am so thankful for all the top leaders who take their time and have been consistent in ensuring our growth. The Morning Inspirational Vitamin call keeps us going like the Energizer bunny. The weekly meetings are a true testament of one team, as One-Star Director Eric Hawkins trains us on self-development. Visionary and founder Mr. Donald Bradley exemplifies such a sincere, genuine, and humble spirit as he leads by example and teaches us wealth strategies to secure our bloodline.Their passion is contagious and transcends barriers. This is the first time in my life that I experienced a business where I am part of a family. I have seen the evidence of success because our leaders have servant hearts!

The key thing in being an entrepreneur is mastering pushing through the pain. You have to trust the process and know with your heart of hearts that God is up to something as you continue to put feet to your faith. You cannot go by what you see...you go by what you know. Gold is refined by fire. A diamond has undergone pressure. The process doesn't feel good and you may see that you are being attacked spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically, BUT you must keep your eye on the prize. There is evidence of success all around us from leaders who endured. When life happens and knocks you down, you have to come back swinging. The question is how bad do you want it? Above all, never lose faith and hope. Every blood, sweat, and tear is worth freeing your financial bloodline.

When I talk to potential business partners I emphasize this statement: “You are not to be overwhelmed. You work your business at your own pace. The only time you will use the word overwhelmed is when you experience the support system! That support is unmatched!  At the Dream Makers certification event that took place in Baltimore, MD, President of InteleTravel, James Ferrara, mentioned that the travel agents who were top sellers just simply utilized the resources that were readily available and implemented. He emphasized that they are here for us; there was the customer service, live chat, and email. The same concept applies. Three-Star Director Kenny Graham has done so many 3-ways for me that I now sound like him, with a touch of Three-Star Director Natalie Graham, with the way she personalizes it. My team is so awesome! I love fellow-shipping with my sisters and brothers in business. We feed off of one another and each person contributes that special quality that makes them unique. One is not successful without ensuring the success of others. Most important of all, it is better to give than to receive. The universe gives to the givers and takes from the takers. As you are elevating, ask yourself who is growing with you. Time is the most valuable asset; give your time, energy and passion to helping others.

I am an advocate of the human race. I love love peace and unity. Love surpasses everything. It breaks barriers, smooths the edges, fills the void, and softens heart of stone. I am also a rebel; I always like to go against the grain and not conform to societal norms. When anyone says I can’t, that pushes me harder. Despite any circumstance I know that all dreams are attainable. There are so many relatable testimonies from all of us collectively, how can we not answer when our dreams are calling us?

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER DEXTER GRIER!

Welcome to the prestigious 20/20 Club, Dexter Grier! Dexter is originally from Columbus, GA and has been living in Atlanta since 1987. He is an avid reader of personal development books and an ever more rabid consumer of good music, most specifically live bands. He tells us, “I can spend a full day watching inspirational videos on YouTube and personal interest stories of the triumph of the underdog. Speaking of dogs (pun intended), I am an animal lover, so much so that I think they talk about us humans to each other! LOL”

“I love travel and being partnered with PlanNet Marketing and InteleTravel is the culmination of the perfect marriage of business and lifestyle. I love the class and sophistication exhibited by our founder Mr. Donald Bradley and the professionalism of everyone at corporate and the selfless service of the InteleTravel team. My favorite travels were Maui twice, Mexico, the Big Island in Hawaii, Jamaica, and the most beautiful place on the planet, Aruba.

“My success so far is a direct result of consistency, personal development, and mentorship from my sponsor, Three-Star Director Tony Fleming, and Mr. Bradley himself. I believe this is an attraction business and we attract who we are and who we are becoming, and I am grateful to be partnered with some incredible business partners, but even better people. I'm looking forward to even more success, and the catalyst will be helping as many people as I can to fulfill their goals and dreams.”

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER DONNA SUSOR

New 20/20 Club Member Donna Susor lives in Toledo, OH. She will be married to her husband Bob for 19 years in May and loves spending time with him and their family. Her varied interests are working out (with kickboxing and weightlifting as favorites), dancing, karaoke, HGTV, and travel. She has been to Cancun, the Bahamas, Punta Cana, Hawaii, California, Las Vegas, Florida, Chicago, New York, and the 140th Kentucky Derby! 

“Some fun facts about me: I took tap dancing for 13 years. Starting at age four I was in beauty pageants and baton twirling contests, was a majorette in a drum corp and in my high school band. I can still do a headstand!”

Congratulations on achieving 20/20 Club Membership, Donna!

DEREK REYNOLDS ACHIEVES 20/20 CLUB MEMBERSHIP

New 20/20 Club Member Derek Reynolds is from NYC and now resides in Atlanta, GA. His travels have taken him to the Bahamas (his only trip outside of the country) and he is a frequent traveler within the US, visiting Los Angeles, CA for the first time this year! He adds that he loves going to amusement parks and riding roller coasters.
 
On his PlanNet success: “I am achieving my success in PlanNet Marketing by not only studying my product, but being the product. I travel wherever I have a new agent to train him or her. I promote team trips to keep everyone engaged and I use social media to meet any and everyone.” Derek also mentors young men to help guide them in a better direction.

“I literally love my job, I love the research, I love seeing the rates we can travel for. I became a tax professional to learn more about the benefits of being a Travel Agent. Because of this opportunity, I have been able to bond with my family in ways like I couldn't before.”

MEET 20/20 CLUB MEMBER SHAKARNA CHAPMAN

20/20 Club Member and Director-in-Training Shakarna Chapman was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY; she has one son who is 23 years old.  After her son graduated from Johnson & Wales University and moved to Charlotte, NC where he is currently working as a chef, Shakarna decided to start a new life in Aberdeen, MD. She shares, “Because I supplemented my income and became a travel business owner, I was able to pay off my house and I am officially a homeowner here in Maryland. This opportunity has truly been a blessing in disguise, which is why it is my duty to share this life-changing opportunity with others.” Shakarna loves spending time with her son, traveling and helping people. Her passion is to help people earn, save, and experience more, which aligns with the guaranteed time, personal, and financial freedom that PlanNet Marketing provides. She says, “This business chose me.”

Shakarna relates that her first real travel experience was a trip to Jamaica when she was 32 years old. Visiting there opened her eyes and changed everything for her, as this was her first “real” vacation that didn’t require a trip to Auntie’s house in North Carolina, sharing a bed, or sleeping on the floor or the couch! She tells us that she thought the views from her Auntie’s back porch were beautiful; but the world outside her concrete jungle was truly breathtaking. She says, “The feeling I had just taking it (Jamaica) all in was indescribable and I knew I never wanted to lose that feeling. I also owed it to my son to experience the same.”

After that first eye-opening trip, Shakarna tells us, “I have traveled to over 10 exotic countries, 37 of the 50 states, all of the US Virgin Islands, taken cruises, been on different excursions such as white water rafting, ziplining, snorkeling, parasailing, hiking, taken a helicopter through the Grand Canyon, seen hot springs, waterfalls…you name it I've probably done it. In this business if you are not having fun you are doing something wrong. My motto is: You have one life to live and one life to travel!” She also says she has the natural ability to make people laugh without trying!

On her PlanNet Marketing success: “I am already witnessing the success happening so quickly with my team, of whom I am so proud.  I became a member of the 20/20 Club and Director in Training all in the same weekend. My team has remained coachable and allowed me to mentor them. A fire has been lit in me and now it is blazing through the forest (my team) as evidenced by the promotions that are taking place! Bronze Builder, Silver Builder, and Gold Builder...I could not have done it without them. Nothing can put that fire out; I am producing Directors! They have reached their success so quickly because of their will, their drive, and their hunger. It is refreshing attracting like-minded individuals.”

“My greatest satisfaction simply comes from helping others achieve their destined levels of success. My business grows through the relationship I have with my clients, my team, and my mentors. The fire that I have is contagious and I am thankful to attract like-minded individuals who are determined to win for their families. I truly believe in leading by example; if I expect my team to stay plugged in and remain coachable, I have to do the the same. Consistency is key! I am committed to being accessible to my team. I strive to be the servant leader, the evidence, and the inspiration that Mr. Orlanda Moore and Mrs.Natalie Graham have instilled in me. I thank and appreciate them! We are here to serve...one team...one mission...one vision.”

20/20 CLUB WELCOMES CHERYL CLEMONS

PlanNet Marketing welcomes Cheryl R. Clemons to the prestigious 20/20 Club! Cheryl was born in Chicago, IL and currently resides in Edmond, OK. Her many interests include her love of music, and she performed her first piano recital at age eleven! She has competed in the Hal Jackson Talented Teens Pageant and was awarded the Miss Congeniality title.  She shares, “I enjoyed being on the best track team at John Marshall High School, where we hold the record for most consecutive state championships won and I held the state record in the two mile run.” Cheryl was named Iron Woman 2016 of PlanNet Marketing. “Running, reading my Bible, and writing original poetry to my special friend are my “peace of mind” moments.”

Cheryl continues, “I enjoy being a mother and grandmother; I have four beautiful daughters, one foster daughter and two foster sons (one who transitioned to glory in 2014), four handsome grandsons and one beautifully talented granddaughter! My newest achievement is the leading role as Mrs. Jerry in a Christian-based stage play, “A Black Woman’s Attitude and the Men That Want To Love Us," which will debut on March 4, 2017 in Oklahoma and will be touring soon. I asked my siblings to help me tell some fun facts about me. Their response was to tell you that I am freaking awesome and that will sum it up! I am the fourth of 11 children; the ‘Illustrious Eleven’ is what we are called.

“I have traveled to 28 different states. I went to Mexico on my first cruise, where my cousin and I nearly got left in Progreso, because I wanted to purchase a hand painted purple plate. When I want something, I stick around til the finish. Director is next!”

Cheryl explains her success with PlanNet Marketing: “My success comes first from our amazing founders, Mr. and Mrs. Bradley; my parents for instilling a strong faith and belief in what God has promised me: that I can do all things through Christ, no boundaries; also, my angel and cousin Cynthia Burrough for introducing me to the industry.  She is my push and part of my why. Success comes from following the PS3 system and staying engaged. After listening to our #1 income earner tell the story of the three frogs in the ditch, I began to turn a deaf ear to all the naysayers! Our #2 income earner gives a positive affirmation of people over profit. My sponsor, Two-Star Director Melodie Washington says "quitting is not an option” - as long as you are in the race you have a chance to WIN!”

“This industry is a team effort; and although we are truly in business for ourselves, we are not not by ourselves. If I help others achieve their goals, by default I will attain mine. If I want to get there quickly - I go by myself. If I want to go far - I go with a team. So I must give credit to the best team PlanNet has; their support keeps me pushing to be a better leader, because they deserve it. Self-development through reading relevant books is key. Mr. Bradley says reading a minimum of 30 minutes a day will develop the leader in you, so I read in constant pursuit to better myself! 

“There are many components to being successful; we have some great leaders we can copy. I say “learn to copy the right cat” but as One-Star Director Mr. Aquarius Jackson says, move cat quick!

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB CHARLES KINDRED!

New 20/20 Club member Charles Kindred tells us that he was raised in Detroit, MI and currently resides in San Diego, CA (he grew tired of shoveling snow!). He and his wife of 32 years are the proud parents of two children, Cole and Charlii.

Charles enjoys photography, travel and all sports; primarily football and golf, saying, “I love being able to combine my love of travel and passion for photography. However, my best moments are spent chasing after my 18-month-old grandson, Clyde. I am a die-hard Stars Wars, Lord of the Rings, sci-fi type guy. Often, I will have family gatherings where we spend the day watching various sci-fi series/sequels. Family time matters and is important to me.

“I have had numerous travel experiences. My most memorable experience was my move from Detroit to San Diego by train. I had recently graduated high school and had no idea of what was truly outside of Detroit. Experiencing mountains, countryside, farmlands and large cities via an Amtrak window seat was exhilarating. From that point on, I was hooked on travel!”

When asked how he has achieved success in PlanNet Marketing, Charles states, “Wow, there are so many facets to this question! I guess it comes down to how you measure success. I would offer that most important is to be willing to ‘trade ego for equity.’ To do that you must be coachable. I am fortunate to have Ms. Eileen Ross as my sponsor and mentor. Her leadership and tough love have been both humbling and rewarding. I must also give credit to a great team of sideline partners and the support of my team. Without the trust and support of my team none of this would be possible.

“I had to learn to discard my corporate mindset and embrace the system/processes in place, which was hard to do. I guess 33 years in the public sector made for great thinking like an employee, but not so great in thinking like a business owner. Once you understand the differences and embrace the process, your growth/success will accelerate!”

MEET PLANNET’S NEWEST ONE-STAR DIRECTORS KASEEN AND JUDY FAYE PENN!

New One-Star Directors and 20/20 Club Members Kaseen and Judy Faye Penn are natives of the Cayman Islands, but have been residing in Prosper, Texas for the past four years, adding that they are “bountifully blessed with eight adorable, athletic, intelligent and loving children and one happy, extremely energetic granddaughter.”

Kaseen and Judy Faye are recognized counselors, life coaches, entrepreneurs and philanthropists. They are also authors of the successful book “The New You,” which sold over 3,000 copies. They have received many heartfelt reviews from individuals about the transforming effects of this inspirational and motivational book. The Penns strongly believe that every person is uniquely placed on planet Earth to fully discover, achieve and maximize their full potential in every aspect of their lives. 

Kaseen and Judy Faye state, “We attribute our success in PlanNet Marketing first to our Heavenly Father and to our relentless, unremitting work ethic, which is vigorously being transferred to our strong base in the Cayman Islands. From the time PlanNet Marketing so graciously gave the green light to conduct business in the Caribbean, we ignited our base in the Cayman Islands and were extremely fortunate to grow a team of 150 plus business partners in less than three weeks!” 

The couple are avid world travelers and are always willing to explore and visit new destinations. In May of this year they share that they were extremely fortunate to take a dream vacation, which included 11 exotic cities in Europe over a 21-day period, and in January they will be taking a 10-day travel agent FAM Trip to Israel and Petra.

Kaseen and Judy Faye strongly believe that you can make a consistent living with PlanNet Marketing, coupled with the ability to travel as an insider by staying in some of the best hotels and resorts for extremely attractive prices. They believe that this vehicle can be a game changer for many families around the world - financially, mentally and socially. Their motto for their PlanNet Marketing Family-Team is #WatchGod.

PLANNET MARKETING’S NEWEST 20/20 CLUB MEMBER LARRY BROUSSARD

I am originally from the Third Ward in Houston, TX and currently reside in Spring, TX with my beautiful wife, Tangela, and our two daughters, Xavia and Denay. 

My most memorable travel experience would be the cruise my wife and I took to Cozumel and Progreso for our honeymoon. It was a first for both of us and PlanNet Marketing helped us get there. I never thought we would stand on top of a Mayan temple or fall asleep in a hammock on a private beach with white sand and water as blue as the sky. We've been to many places in the states but traveling across international waters is our new thing. 

As far as the success we're having at PlanNet Marketing, there are many different factors to that. The first would be great leadership. I have to give thanks to Mr. Phillip Rollins, my personal sponsor, for his leadership, guidance and encouragement. Next would be a great partner in success, my wife. Tangela has been a huge support and works very hard to meet the goals we have set. The biggest thing I would tell anyone is to be coachable. Our leaders are not always going to tell you what you want to hear. Constructive criticism is not a personal attack, it's only meant to make you better. Process the information being given, make adjustments and execute. 

Being a direct to the man who has been crowned the PS3 master, we use it a lot! It was PS3 that got us to this point. It works, use it. Stay plugged in and believe in yourself. Some will say yes, some will say no, some will talk about you, and some will laugh at you. Keep moving forward regardless of the outcome.
