CONGRATULATIONS DEXTER GRIER FOR ACHIEVING ONE-STAR DIRECTOR!
New One-Star Director Dexter Grier tells us he is the father of two from Columbus, GA and the grandfather of one very active three-year-old grandson. He moved to Atlanta, GA in 1987 and has lived there since then. He says, “'m so humbled to be chosen for the blog, and even more honored and humbled to be in this wonderful company.”
“My mission is to help as many people as possible to financial betterment as well as the joy that comes from travel. I believe that travel is the greatest educator of the human race. It teaches culture, respect and exposure to the way others live, their languages, customs, food and lifestyle. My favorite travel experiences have been Aruba, Maui, and the Bahamas. St.Tropez is my most desired locale I wish to experience, and because of this wonderful opportunity I know I will have that experience."
WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB MAXINE MCDONALD!
New 20/20 Club Member Maxine McDonald was born in Jamaica, coming to the UK as a young child. She currently lives and works in South East London. Her interests are in all things historic, reading, and visiting. She has a keen interest in Reformation history and the Christian Church. She shares, “I like eating out, especially Mediterranean cuisine, and keeping fit. I have one daughter and I will be a grandmother in October. To say I’m overjoyed would be an understatement.”
Maxine continues, “I have travelled to many countries in Europe. I particularly love Italy - you see the history connection? I’ve visited several states in the U.S. I especially love the United Kingdom. My friends laugh at me because I love the journey as much as I love the destination. My friends and family say that I’m a natural saleswoman. So when I was introduced to network marketing it was like “a match made in heaven.” I understand the solid principles of networking and how to achieve success. I believe that I have finally found the right product to succeed with. As we say in the UK, travel is a no-brainer.
“Whatever you do will duplicate so I teach good practices, not only in the business protocols but also when it comes to dealing with potential prospects and customers. I’ve learned the importance of transparency, to lead with the product, and to meet prospects at their point of need rather than focusing on my own needs to the extent that I forget it’s about helping others reach their goals. Regardless of my success, I know that God has ordered my steps and so I just do what’s right by Him and the rest they say, is His-story.
“On a lighter note: Nelson Mandela attended my University graduation, not by personal invitation I hasten to add, but by chance. He winked and raised his thumb in approval as I walked past him with degree in hand - the smile on my face! My nerves prevented me from going up to him for a hug despite him being no more than a foot away from me!”
WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB ALLEN & JEANNETTE CHILDS!
New 20/20 Club members Allen and Jeannette Childs are both retired Army veterans and reside in San Antonio, TX. Allen is originally from Columbus, OH and Jeannette is originally from Chicago, IL. They are the parents of six children ranging in age from 11 to 32 and also have six grandchildren. Jeannette states, “We love working out and spending time with both our huge families. We are active in our church and are greeters and members of the family ministry team in which we support and build family relationships.” Allen has also coached a local football team in San Antonio, the Alamo City Riders, for boys ages seven to eight.
While in the military, Allen traveled to Korea three times and Jeannette traveled to Germany, Korea, Italy and the Czech Republic. As travel agents, they have been to Punta Cana (their favorite travel experience), Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas and the Bahamas.
Allen states, “We are achieving success at PlanNet Marketing because we’re a team at home and a team when working our business. We recognize each other’s strengths and we don’t compete for attention. We achieved success so quickly because of our outstanding leadership, being coachable and following the process. We encourage our team to be patient and trust the process because everything will come to you at the right time!
“A fun fact about us: When we were dating, we decided to add each other on Facebook and discovered that we had over 500 mutual friends from our career in the Army! We had even trained and led the same soldiers! During our 20 years in the Army we had come in contact with the same people but never crossed paths until the end of our military careers. We are thankful that God led us together and also grateful He led us to PlanNet Marketing!”
WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB FAITH JOHNSON!
New 20/20 Club member Faith Johnson says, “I tend to tell people I am not from just one place but that I represent three: New York, South Carolina, and Florida. Therefore, while I currently reside in Wesley Chapel, FL, you will often find me commuting between New York, South Carolina and Florida. I’ve had an intense love for travel for as long as I can remember. Perhaps I have wanderlust at my core. I also love experiencing new and exciting things, as well as building authentic relationships through connecting with others. I doubt there is enough time in the world to share all of my travel experiences. As I’ve previously mentioned, I have been in the travel industry for some years, which has yielded me the opportunity to travel all over the world to places such as Egypt, Europe, Eastern and Western Caribbean, and Mexico.”
Faith shares, “I’ve been the owner and CEO of my own travel business for over 20 years; I’ve also retired from a large multinational financial services organization, but that is not all of who I am. I am a board member of Have Faith Open Door Ministries located in Alcolu, SC. This compassionate, family-run organization is comprised of individual ministries that provide help to abused and abandoned women and children who are in need, 24/7 hospice care for the elderly, and also raise breast cancer awareness, among many other ministries.
“I have achieved success in PlanNet Marketing by putting God first and allowing Him to continue to order my steps. I make it a habit of staying connected, asking questions, and always being available to my team. This has been an incredible journey which has enabled me to continue to connect with new people, experience new things, and build authentic relationships, which are all pieces of the thread that make up the fabric of me. I live by my father’s motto: “HELP ME TO HELP SOMEBODY.
“A little known fact about me is that I love me some dessert. It's my favorite part of a meal and in fact, I'd eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I could!”
WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB BILLY MORTON!
New 20/20 Club Member Billy Morton is originally from Southeast Washington, DC and currently resides in Oxon Hill, MD. His interests are being a great father, giving back to the community, riding motorcycles, and traveling the world. Billy’s travel experiences include the Maldives, Cancun, Jamaica, Aruba, and the Dominican Republic - just to name a few.
He relates, “With great leadership from Preston and Imani Scott along with the Powells, I have gained the knowledge and experience of being a successful coach to my team through the education of travel and great leadership advice. With a great work ethic, people understand that with whatever business venture I put my foot into, I’m going to be successful! As a retired 42-year-old Metro worker and a single father, I believe that in order to be successful in any venture, you must have a strong foundation and my team is just that, my strong foundation.
“My team has helped me to remain encouraged and has given me the determination to be an example of what we can and will become. I was often criticized for building a team that was 95% women, but I would not have it any other way. After being raised by a single mother, I learned that women are the strongest beings on this planet and our team keeps each other grounded and focused. I am proud of what we have achieved thus far and we are going to continue to go up from here!”
COMPLIANCE CORNER
Events Shape Our Lives!
Are you a sports fan? Do you just LOVE to attend basketball, baseball, football or hockey games live and in person? My husband LOVES hockey – he watches his team religiously on TV, and when they aren’t playing, he watches other teams. It doesn’t matter that he’s at home, in the living room, lounging – he’s wearing a jersey, sporting his team’s colors. He also can get LOUD. Now, my husband is a loud guy anyway – he’s Italian, hot-blooded, and his “inside voice” is louder than some people’s yelling, but on hockey nights things can get crazy ‘round here folks.
When my man and I were dating, I tried watching hockey with him (gotta show the interest ladies!) but it just never caught my attention or captivated me the way it did for him. Until I bought him St. Louis Blues hockey tickets for Christmas one year. Our son cried because he didn’t get to go along. These tickets were not right on the ice, but we had a nice view – and I found myself standing and screaming with all the other blue-bleeding fans in that arena. The atmosphere was incredible. This live event brought life to an otherwise boring game (to me). It also brought understanding. I didn’t know the rules of hockey. But sitting beside my husband, the hockey expert, surrounded by the sounds of sticks slapping a puck across the ice, wearing my brand-new home team stocking cap – I wanted to know more! I asked questions, I kept my attention on that tiny black puck sliding around the ice, I learned so much in that brief time!
Attending that LIVE EVENT put me in a position to absorb more about hockey than I ever had, or probably ever will! Now, when I watch on TV (because let’s face it, during hockey season at my house, there are times you just can’t avoid watching – my hubby and son love it) I know what’s going on. When the boys are yelling at a call they think unfair, I actually understand what they’re talking about. I’ve gained a knowledge and an insight I didn’t have before. Honestly, I didn’t even realize what a fun, exciting game hockey was before that event. I had seen it, heard about it, I even tried to like it, but I hadn’t EXPERIENCED IT for myself until that live, in-person game. It was a turning point.
Ok, so this is an article about PlanNet Marketing – not ice hockey. Let’s get to the point – right? If you have never attended a live, in-person event with PlanNet Marketing, then you don’t know what you’re missing. You might have seen pictures and videos from events past, maybe you heard from a friend of a friend about the excitement they felt in attendance, you might have even tried watching on Facebook Live during past conventions. But you just couldn’t get into it. You don’t understand all the hype. You got bored watching after 20 minutes and went back to work.
You need to EXPERIENCE the PlanNet Marketing 2017 International Convention – Atlanta for yourself!
Once you’re there – you won’t regret it. The atmosphere will be electric, the excitement palpable. There will be an abundance of opportunities to sit in a smaller classroom setting with the experts (PlanNet Marketing Directors) and learn about building your business in ways that you’ve never imagined. You’ll sit in rapture and soak it all in, gaining knowledge and insight you didn’t have before. You’ll realize what a fun, exciting business this is and you’ll WANT to know more, and do more. You’ll watch award-winners prance across the stage to thousands of screaming fans and you’ll take note of how you too can achieve those goals. Next year, it’ll be you up there, waving and smiling as you accept your award.
These events are so much more than motivation and networking (although that happens too). These events are experiences you will never forget. Maybe you want to be interested, but you're just not there yet. These events will make this business real in a way it wasn’t before, it will open your eyes to the possibilities at your fingertips.
Don’t sit by the sidelines in 2017 – visit your Virtual Office today and sign up to attend the Atlanta 2017 PlanNet Marketing International Convention! This is a once in a lifetime experience that you’ll never forget.

CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW THREE-STAR DIRECTORS PRESTON AND IMANI SCOTT!
CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW TWO-STAR DIRECTOR RASHEBA MCGOWAN!
Rasheba McGowan was featured in the PlanNetNOW! Blog last July when she achieved One-Star Director and became a 20/20 Club Member! Click here to read more about Rasheba!
CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTOR AND 40/40 CLUB MEMBER JUDY CANTU!
New One-Star Director and 40/40 Club Member Judy Cantu is from the small town of Santa Rosa in South Texas, with a population of fewer than 5,000. She has lived in San Antonio, Texas for the past 18 years with her two daughters. Three years ago, she became a grandmother of a beautiful little girl, whom she says is her why, her breath of fresh air, her reason to push. She also shares her world with her incredible partner who helps her stay on track and keeps the smile on her face. They love to bring the family together to watch good old movies; simply spending time together doing anything is everything to them. She spends much of her time at the gym in an attempt to learn more about the gym and its function and how the machines help…in hopes to open a gym one day herself!
Judy tells us, “In September of 2016, I got to use my one-week-old passport to travel to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. It was an all-inclusive hotel filled with excursions like a yacht ride, tube banana boat ride, horseback riding, disco dancing and gambling. It was a perfect first-time vacation out of the country.
“When I started here at PlanNet Marketing over 7 months ago, I really had no idea what would happen. I simply followed my mentors and believed in them and their success. Our team basically learned the system together. As a team, we attempted to always ‘stay out of traffic.’ It has been imperative to us to follow the system that has already been put together for us. If I could help anyone with any kind of tip, I would definitely tell them to keep their focus, listen to your mentor and most definitely get yourself a mentor/coach fast! You have to learn accountability early on. In the Latino community, the success that we have had stems from our own background. Gaining the trust of our Latino partners is part of why we have grown so fast.
“It’s been over two years now that I was involved in a fitness program that helped me lose over 80 lbs. Truth of the matter is…it helped me jumpstart the major changes that have begun in my life. It was just the beginning of many life-altering changes coming my way!”
CONGRATULATIONS TO LIZ ESTRADA & EFRAIN CHARLES FOR ACHIEVING ONE-STAR DIRECTOR AND 40/40 CLUB!
New One-Star Directors Efrain Charles and Liz Estrada, both entrepreneurs, found each other in San Antonio, TX. They share, “Since then, we have been an inseparable, powerful couple, working together as a team to build our empire.” Efrain Charles was born and raised in San Antonio, TX, retired from the corporate world in 1998, and ventured into the entrepreneurial world. Liz Estrada was born and raised in Corpus Christi, TX, and left her hometown in 1998 to pursue a new lifestyle and a new career for her and her children. Efrain worked tirelessly miles away from home, causing him to be away from his loved ones. He was in search of something different. Liz, a 22-year paralegal with 18 years working as a tax professional, was always working hard, making someone else rich.
She says, “I decided to work for myself. We both came to the reality that we had to do something different to make time for our families and for each other, so we decided to look into other opportunities. We found a place where we were able to make more money, spend more time with family, and travel. We are so grateful that we were introduced to this amazing company called PlanNet Marketing. We are excited to help many families win and will continue to expand our reach within the Latino and other emerging markets.
CONGRATULATIONS TO KYRA HARRIS FOR ACHIEVING ONE-STAR DIRECTOR!
New One-Star Director Kyra Harris is originally from New Orleans, LA and relocated to Houston, TX in 2010 for a change of scenery and to start a new chapter in her life. She is a licensed cosmetologist and works for a beauty brand company as an international sales coordinator. She relates, “I love anything where it involves me expressing my personality. A few of my interests/hobbies are going to the movies, styling hair, shopping, attending cultural events, networking, and dancing. I love to travel and have been to many US states and Caribbean islands/South American countries. My future plans for 2018 are to visit South Africa and the UK (including outlying European countries).
“A fun fact about myself is that I wanted to be a singer. When I was younger I sung for many events: Mardi Gras balls, cotillions, Christmas plays, many solos for my school masses, etc. I was even offered a contract after performing on stage at a local community event.
“I am achieving success within PlanNet Marketing by remaining COACHABLE! When I ask my coach to critique me, I genuinely want to be critiqued accordingly. We learn by what our mentors tell us needs to be polished, and I am the individual who takes all advice and executes it. When the clock struck 12:30 AM on August 5, I was down to my last signup. I didn't think it was going to happen and got semi-discouraged. I looked up and said ‘Come on, God’ and before I could close my mouth my phone went DING. I'm just glad to know that it was all in God's favor and timing. That night will forever be memorable!
“My advice: "DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE PS3 SYSTEM." This system has helped me out tremendously, especially if I am meeting individuals online. It allows me to build a personal relationship and also allows them to meet others who have success within the business. The way I achieved success is to ALWAYS stay plugged in - Monday motivation calls, team calls, Sunday calls, orientation calls, local meeting events, etc. There are so many outlets to plug into that you can utilize!

WELCOME CHANÉE ANDERSON TO THE 20/20 CLUB!
New 20/20 Club member Chanée Anderson is a native of Philadelphia, PA, but considers herself a California girl after residing in Rancho Cucamonga, CA for over 25 years, where she lives with her husband, Norman Anderson. She shares, “My interests include travel, cooking, decorating and like most women…shopping! I enjoy collecting things from all of my travels to decorate my home and also purchasing culinary items to use in my everyday cooking. Lately, I have been purchasing coffee from around the world. It’s nice to wake up, and depending on the mood, enjoy a cup of coffee that is reminiscent of global travel. It is a nice reminder of all the beautiful places I have traveled. What is really interesting is, although I have been to many places, this year I received my first stamp on my passport. By December of this year, I will have five different stamps from traveling this year alone. We have been to Jamaica twice this year, the Dominican Republic, Cancun, and will be leaving shortly for Cancun again to attend the prestigious Mark Travel Summit Convention. We have also been to Belize, Honduras, Costa Maya, and Cozumel. At this point, the calendar for 2018 is practically full already. It is such a pleasure that travel and business coincide.
“We are achieving success with PlanNet Marketing by following and utilizing the pearls of wisdom given to us by various people in our organization. There are a few who stand out who have helped us in our journey. I would say most recently, Shedrick White used the analogy of offering coffee to patrons if you work at a restaurant. You have to be okay with the no’s as well as the yes’s. It is the no’s that propel you forward in receiving the yes’s. And more importantly - be patient in the process. Sometimes you may want fast results, but it is more important to have steady growth and success in reaching your personal goals.”
Chanée continues,“Achieving personal goals was something that was highlighted in the Women in Black event in Los Angeles. Tiffany McIntosh was brilliant in explaining that everyone has a different path in reaching their goals. It is important not to compare yourself to others. It is also important to have a strategic plan and to execute the plan daily. The prayers and considerations of Walter and Tiffany Powell stay on our hearts and minds daily. I know it meant a lot to my husband in particular to have Mr. Powell answer his calls when it was needed the most. They went out of their way to minister to myself and my husband during trying times. We can all agree that the fireball Mrs. Tiffany Powell is girl power at its best. Last, but not least, Marva and Willie Jones and Erick and Dejoire Benson are our local support system. As a team, they have collectively assisted in working with us in the areas of personal growth and development. My advice would be to learn the process and take your time. It is better to be knowledgeable and gain some experience in order to properly mentor and build your team.
“I would not say I have achieved success quickly. It has been steady yet consistent growth. I put in countless hours for my business in ways of marketing through multiple streams of social media, as well as attending many industry events, local and chamber events, and working daily with those on my team. I am personally invested in the growth and success of each and every one of my business partners.
“A fun fact about myself that most people would find to be very interesting is, as outgoing and social as I appear to be, my closest friends know that I am actually quite shy, reserved and sensitive by nature. You will rarely find me on a dance floor; although I am a great dancer, I usually don’t dance because I am just that shy. I am an only child, and as I get older, I find that I like spending quite a bit of time by myself when I am not with my family.”
