LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT ON: THREE-STAR DIRECTORS DONN & TAWANDA SHAMLEY

Donn-Tawanda-Shamley-spotlight.jpg

1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born in Atlanta, GA, and raised by my mom, with no siblings. Donn is from White Plains, NY and he’s the oldest of four. His parents have been married for over 50 years! That’s what we’re striving for and we are on year 27! We both have a passion for music, which has led me to a career in the music industry for almost 30 years. I started my own gospel record promotions company 17 years ago, Joyful Noise Promotions. Donn is a business analyst in the healthcare industry. We have served in marriage ministry for years and Donn’s love for music has led him to play drums for our worship team at church. We both love sports, going to concerts and movies. We have two awesome children - our son Collin is a recent graduate of The University of Georgia, and our daughter Faith is a rising high school senior.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I have always been a ‘behind the scenes’ person, and I’m perfectly comfortable in that space. I’m used to working with singers and performers whose careers call for them to be out front. I’ve had to grow as a leader and realize it’s okay for me to be out front. I’m still growing in this area! Donn has grown to not focus so much on negative things, such as rejection, and he now focuses more on how he will respond to those things. As entrepreneurs we will constantly have setbacks, which is part of the process. We have to use these challenges as learning experiences to help us get it right the next time.

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
I am motivated by the fact that God has called us to go great things here on earth. Our daughter has started a youth ministry, REACH, and as I see the lives of many of these young people change for the better, I know that I’m called to help support that ministry. I need to have the financial freedom, as well as time freedom, to do that. What motivates Donn is being able to provide for our family, so that our quality of life will not be in jeopardy. It’s also important to him to be the evidence to family and friends that you can change your life if you’re not satisfied with the path your life is taking.

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
A wonderful role model for me over the past two and half years has been my mentor and coach, Eileen Ross. I knew Eileen in a previous company, and the Eileen Ross then is not the Eileen Ross we see today. She has a work ethic like no other. After enduring a pretty rough time in her life, going through a divorce and walking away from everything, she made a decision to work harder for herself and her son than she ever had before. I see what these results have yielded her. This same lady two and a half years ago did not know what a travel party was, and now she’s conducting meetings and trainings all over the world. I appreciate seeing first hand what it takes.

Donn’s role model is our former President, Barack Obama. Under pressure, he never got rattled. In highly stressful situations, he always kept the high road. Through it all, he always maintained a loving relationship with his wife and daughters, and that’s what Donn strives to do. Looking at these attributes, I could actually say the same about our founder, Mr. Donald Bradley.

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Three words that describe Tawanda…focused, consistent, reliable. Three words that describe Donn…supportive, loyal, committed.

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Some sound advice that we would give is to “think outside the box!” Don’t get stuck doing things traditionally because it’s always been done that way. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Anything in life worth having will take some level of sacrifice, but to reach true freedom, it’s worth it!

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now we will be retired and debt free. We will be high six-figure income earners with PlanNet Marketing, working on seven figures. We will have produced multiple six-figure income earners. We will be supporting causes that we are passionate about, as well as working more in ministry. Of course we will be traveling the world and checking things off our bucket list!

 

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER, CRYSTAL BODIE SMITH!

2020club2_smith.jpg

Welcome to the PlanNet Marketing 20/20 Club, Crystal Bodie Smith! Crystal is a Native New Yorker who resides in the Knightdale/Raleigh, NC area. She says, “I am utilizing my platform in collaboration with PlanNet Marketing to have a global impact, letting it be known that this company is helping to make it possible for me to continue with my mission as a hope catalyst: ‘Stirring Up The Gift , Instilling Hope, and Saving Lives!’ My tagline is: #keephopealive.” She loves spending time with her grandson, family and friends, enjoys basketball, cards, and helping people.

Crystal continues, “My best travel experience is yet to come with this opportunity. In the past I enjoyed all the conventions and meetings with the business partners. I love meeting people from all over the world. I also enjoy times like the one pictured with my daughters and grandson in Atlanta. I cherish my family and the times I spend with my one and only sister left from a family of five. I look forward to using this platform to continue showing others how to spend quality time with family and making dreams come true. I am excited to have all my family in the business with me so we can live, travel, laugh, love, and make money together. I also like going on the cruise ship inspections. This opened my eyes to what endless possibilities I have in my hands. I am so excited that I am now in process of finally getting my passport to see and change the world.
 
“My PlanNet Marketing success didn’t come as quickly as it could have because I stunted my own growth. I was fearful, prideful, and also emotionally scarred from past failures, losses, and disappointments. I encourage everyone coming behind me to do a cleansing from the inside out as my Director, Ms. Dennese Hopson, always says. Ms. Hopson has truly helped to mold me into the person I am becoming with her direct, relateable, uncompromising, and unselfish leadership style. I am not there yet; however, it is a continual personal development process.

“Pointer One: Continue reading, attending meetings, doing conference calls, and listening to the coaches and mentors worldwide. 

“Pointer Two: Forgive yourself for everything you messed up before this opportunity and do not look for validation from others. Endorse yourself and give yourself permission to soar high with the eagles. My late Bishop Frank Summerfield said it best: “You cannot fly with the eagles, pecking with the chickens!”

“Pointer Three: Forget about trying to do it by everyone and just go through the process. My coach Dennese Hopson said it best: “You cannot succeed based on your own system, you have to use the company’s system.”  

“Pointer Four: We must listen to all the coaches and continue to read and develop. Identify your weakness and strengthen yourself in that area that is hindering you. Then do not look back! 

“Pointer Five: Most importantly, learn to let down the guards, stop taking everything personally, and do not be defensive or argumentative. Consider the possibility that the information may change your life for the better and try it. You have nothing to lose!

“In closing, I would say ‘Sit down with your grown self and listen if you are not yet at the same place as your coach. Sometimes it is hard to teach a grown person like me, almost 60 years old...I know I do not look it, smile! Take it from me and do not wait until you get tired of making mistakes and losing time, while realizing it is you who is causing interference. Do yourself a favor and stop the madness and adhere to all the directives and be proactive and grow and see your promotions. Lean on God; master the Prayer of Serenity and use the system! It works!  Then PRESS ON AND BUILD YOUR LEGACY FOR YOUR FAMILY! 

“Overall, my success came from my relationship with God, my parents, then my Directors continually pushing for more. Thank you Dennese Hopson, Clifford Coward, and Ann Jones. In addition I thank all the PlanNet Marketing leaders who have also helped as needed when asked. This leadership and training process overall contributes to my success in a major way too.

“Thank you, Mr. Bradley and Mr. Ferrara, for our one-on-one conversations. I especially thank Mr. Andy and  Ms. LeAnn and the PlanNet Marketing family for always taking care of me at meetings with my special needs too. This is truly one big family and I appreciate the way everyone works together towards one mission to uphold the vision. 

“I achieved success so quickly through my personal mentor/sponsor/Director - who knows me better than I  know myself. She was my angel and she continued to speak life into me and never gave up. When I received what she was saying and saw what she saw, then I tapped into my own God-given gifts and stirred my own self up. I am a person who was so used to doing for others. I had to realize I cannot help others until I had a firm disposition, which allowed me to fulfill my purpose for my family and those who need me. I also realized that I am no different than those who preceded me. I had to focus and be intentional and remind myself that I was more than a conqueror, with Christ who strengthens me! I had to get over the way others may have mistreated me and underestimated me and just make up my mind that I mattered and I did it for myself first. Then, I had to show my daughters, so they know regardless of what obstacles you face in life, if you want anything badly enough, you can have it. It may not come when you want it or be easy. THEN, REMEMBER THOSE WHO HELPED YOU, REMAIN HUMBLE, TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED, AND FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED AND AIM TO WIN!

 

MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER, CARLA WATERS!

2020club2_waters.jpg

Welcome to the 20/20 Club Carla Waters! Carla is originally from Atlanta, GA, Her interests include reading, traveling, and serving others. She has traveled to Mexico, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and most recently to India.  She says, “A few of these trips were attributed to my service to our country.  

“My success can be attributed to my drive, my why, my self discipline/motivation, and the passion i have to serve others. If I were to sum up how I achieved my success, I would include the list above, my coach, and the motivation I get from wanting and watching others I serve win. 

“Before the company sharpened its focus on millennials, my team had already consisted of them. I have four millennials of my own, so I see firsthand how much greater of a challenge it is for them to work a regular job. They are smart and can do anything but crave something different and this vehicle will afford them that. If only something this great were available to me when I was their age! My four loves are my biggest accomplishments - to see them do everything that they want in life will continue to be the biggest drive for my success and my drive to win within this opportunity that was presented to me!”

Connecting the Dots of Success 

I recently completed an EXTREME connect the dots picture – the image contained over 900 dots!!! It was time consuming, painstaking work (and I had to wear my glasses – those dots were tiny) but in the end, I had such a beautiful image and feeling of satisfaction!

Your PlanNet Marketing business is like a real life game of connect the dots. Your first dot may have been talking to a friend about PlanNet, seeing a post on social media, or attending a presentation…your last dot? Well, it’s a work in progress! But every step of the way – enrolling as a Rep, purchasing an ITA, attending your first company event, taking a trip, telling others about your business, selling your first ITA, paying your monthly fee, getting paid commissions, learning about the Policies and Procedures…they are all dots that create a more detailed image of your future success. The more dots you connect – the clearer that image becomes.

Globe-dots.jpg

PlanNet Marketing offers a real, genuine opportunity for people to make money. The amount you earn depends on your willingness to work – this isn’t easy peasy – this can be painstaking “put your glasses on” kind of work. Make sure you’re following up with your sponsor and your prospects. Make sure you’re INVESTING TIME in your business. No one else will connect the dots for you – it’s up to you to make that image appear and create your own sense of satisfaction. PlanNet Marketing provides the dots, you connect them to success.

-- The Policies and Procedures are located in your Virtual Office in the Information Center (go to Resources, then Policies and Procedures).

LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT ON: CHARMAINE ELLIOTT TURNER

Spotlight-Charmaine-Elliott-Turner.jpg

1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
My name is Charmaine Elliott Turner but known to many as Camet Turner. I was born in Kingston, Jamaica, raised in New ​Y​ork and now reside in Palm Bay​,​ FL. While I don't have any children of my own, I am blessed with two amazing nephews, Christopher and Cameron, by way of my sister Patrice. I am definitely honored to have the best parents ever (Lloyd & Delores), who have both supported me from day one!

I love traveling to different places, listening to music, dancing like nobody is watching, and cooking Chinese/Jamaican dishes. I majored in Fashion Desig​n​/Business Management at F.I.T in NYC. During my career in corporate America I have gained knowledge in many fields such as credit card fraud, mortgages, financial, medical, legal and subrogation.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I am still growing and developing my skills every day here at PlanNet Marketing. I have learned so much from the amazing leadership team and I look forward to walking in the footsteps of my mentors.

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
My motivation stems from helping people, whether it is for something major or minor. Being introduced to PlanNet Marketing by way of my best friend was a blessing for me. I feel it is my purpose to bless as many families as I can with this amazing opportunity given to us by our visionary, Mr. Bradley.

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My role model is and always will be my mother Delores. She is my biggest supporter, she has a heart of gold, and her passion to see her daughters succeed is unmatched. She is my true ride or die, my best friend, and more importantly…my heartbeat!!

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Focused, Blessed, and Passionate.

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Fellow PlanNeteers! The best advice I can give you is to stay plugged into everything that has already been put in place for us to succeed. Always have a pen and paper in hand on every call because you never know what nuggets will be shared. You all have been blessed by the person who shared this opportunity with you and now someone is out there waiting for you to bless them…so what are you waiting for? Go get em!!!

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now I will be at the banks and beaches of the world. I will be helping more families across the nation on their way to financial freedom.
