CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTORS KECIA ASHLEY, CIARA PINKARD AND TIFFANY HARRIS!

Tiffany-Harris-1Star-Announce.jpg

Meet new PlanNet Marketing One-Star Director Tiffany Harris! Tiffany was born and raised in New York, spent the last five years in North Carolina, and now resides in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Her interests are cooking, taking daily walks with her son around the lake, and dance ministry!  She shares, “One of my life's missions is to feed the homeless, and PlanNet Marketing is a vehicle that will allow me to do that on a much larger scale one day. 

“I am a CRUISE LOVER! It has allowed me to see more places than I've ever imagined like: Bermuda, Mexico, the Bahamas, Jamaica, USVI, and Puerto Rico. Thanks to the amazing events that this company hosts, I've also visited Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Baltimore and Orlando. One of my favorite travel memories is going to my first MLB game as an adult last year and seeing the Braves play. I felt like a kid again – it was such an amazing experience. 

“My success comes in my refusal to quit! There are so many things in our lives that we can't control. We can't control who rejects us. We can't control what other people do. We have complete control, however, over whether or not we quit on ourselves. I simply refuse to quit! I stay plugged in to my amazing leadership. I never miss an event that I'm qualified to attend – even if I have no idea what the event is going to be about. I've attended conventions on crutches and in wheelchairs because I know there is information and education that you can only get by being in the room! Make no excuses and show up for your own success. You deserve it and so does your family!

“I cannot stress enough how important it is to personally develop. Be honest with yourself about the areas that need improvement. Read every single day and be mindful of the things that you speak over yourself and over your life! Find out from your coach: What should I start doing? What should I stop doing? What should I do more of? The key is: once your coach answers that question – you have to LISTEN! 

“A fun fact: I am a HUGE introvert. I have to recharge after just about every single meeting or event. I shake and get terrified every single time I do a presentation. I've learned over the years that it's best to just do things scared versus not doing them at all. Another fun fact is that I still get carded at the movie theater! Every single time. I'm 35 years old and people still think I'm a teenager.”

MEET NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTOR KAT SIMPSON!

Kat-Simpson-1Star-article.jpg

Meet new PlanNet Marketing Director Kat Simpson! Kat lives in Southside, Arkansas and tells us her interests are her grandchildren and their sports, traveling the world, and helping moms spend more time with their children.

Kat continues, “I married a military man and traveled the world with him. That started my love of travel. Since joining PlanNet, I have traveled at least twice a month for two years. I've enjoyed new places and finding favorites to return to multiple times, like Jamaica. I have indulged my love of cruising and introduced it to some of my grandchildren and many new-to-cruising clients.

“My success at PlanNet Marketing is due to my team. My upline, Lavonda Thornton-Bush, has been an inspiration and mentor all the way. My sponsor, Rhea Perry, has helped me develop and achieve my life vision. And my own team keeps me motivated to learn more so I can help them more. My tip for others is to keep the focus off of you and put it on your team. Work hard to help them achieve their version of success, and you will inevitably achieve your own. 

“I did not achieve success quickly. It was a long two-year journey to One-Star Director and I struggled along the way at times. I would say to others whose journey is taking longer than they thought it would, 'Stay strong and keep going – it is SO worth it!'

“A fun fact about me is that my entrepreneurial career started by selling things on eBay, and I have sold everything! Two of my most outrageous sales were a vintage Mercedes convertible and a box of live roaches!”

 
 

THE PLANNET MARKETING SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON: ALICIA CALASCIONE

Alicia-Calascione-Spotlight-Mar13.jpg

1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born in Malta and raised in the United Kingdom, currently living on the outskirts of London, in Berkshire. My previous work experience includes long lengthy hours, not just in one job but two – finance and retail, which now, thanks to this opportunity, I will not have to work the full time 9-5 ever again. I swapped it with an opportunity that allowed me to hustle 24/7 on something I LOVE and build not just an empire, but a legacy.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
Since joining PlanNet, my confidence and belief has been the biggest personal development. Stepping out of my comfort zone is really where the magic happens. If you want something you've never had, then you've got to do something you've never done. This could be the smallest task. The question I always ask myself in challenging times is, “When was the last time you did something for the first time?”

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
Success and Impact. Success is no accident. It is hard work, learning, perseverance, sacrifice, but most of all, loving what you do. It is never too late to be whoever you want to be; chase the dream. That is my forever motivating motto...and to have financial and time freedom, which complements Impact. Not only am I bettering a life for my future, family, and present, I am also impacting other people’s lives. Everyone is born to make an impact. This opportunity brings people together. Amazing things in business are never done by one person.They're done by a team of people.

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My mum is my role model. She inspired me to never give up; she made me believe I could do anything I set my mind to. She never believed in the words 'I can’t’ and she hated hearing the word 'but.’ My mum inspired me to always be the best version of myself in order to achieve as much in life as possible. That is where saying YES to this opportunity came from.

5. The three words that describe you best are:
AMBITIOUS , DRIVEN, and PASSIONATE.

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
If you risk nothing, then you risk everything. Failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of the success. Always remember this.

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now, I won’t need to imagine or dream of time, financial, and personal freedom. I will have it.

PLANNET MARKETING WELCOMES THREE NEW 80/80 CLUB MEMBERS!

8080club_cloutier.jpg
8080club_williams.jpg
8080club_brown.jpg

PlanNet Marketing is proud to welcome Tanisha Brown to the 80/80 Club! Tanisha tells us that she is the mother of two beautiful daughters, ages 24 and 18. “I’m also a grandmother of a handsome little boy who has me wrapped around his finger. I’ve been married for 13 years now and I love that my business has allowed me to be a housewife and a stay-at-home mom. I’ve been on this journey come March 30, 2020 for four years, and I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world. I love helping people and I’m extremely excited that I am helping people change their lives.

“Now that I’ve achieved helping 80 people, I’m on the hunt to get 20 more to be a part of the Century Club. I became a One-Star Director last year on January 31, and this year on January 31 I became a Two-Star Director! I am so grateful that I get to leave a legacy behind if anything happens to me. It has been such an amazing time meeting new people and working with my team. Three-Star here we come!! This business has changed my life! 

“Thanks to my team and Felicia Miles for your leadership.”

 
 

PLANNET MARKETING WELCOMES EIGHT NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBERS!

2020-logo-text.jpg

Each week we will list the new 20/20 Club Members as soon as their pictures are received so that their recognition will be timely. The personal 20/20 Club features will continue; currently there are many 20/20 Club Members who have sent in their bios, but due to the growing number, have not yet been featured in the blog. Watch for your bio in future editions of PlanNetNow!

Recognition is very important and we hope this new format shows how much we value our 20/20 Club Members! Congratulations to everyone who has achieved this very important level in your PlanNet business!

 

MEET 20/20 CLUB MEMBER SHENIKA BAISLEY!

Shenika-Baisley-2020-Article.jpg

PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Dr. Shenika Baisley to the 20/20 Club! Shenika is from Shreveport, Louisiana and currently resides in Valrico, Florida. She tells us, “I am a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army. I have been serving for 18 years and 4 months. My goal is to retire as a 1 Star General Officer. I am proud to serve and dedicated to helping soldiers and their families. I have a 22-year-old college graduate son and a sweet eight-year-old little man. Also, I have a supportive husband – we were married December 7, 2019 in Nassau, Bahamas! 

“I am a speaker, business mentor and success coach. I have been the owner of Divine Dream Destinations Travel for one year. Travel is my passion, as well as helping other people experience God’s creation, one city, state, and country at a time. I love traveling, spending time with family and friends, spreading the word of God, being an active member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and empowering and encouraging people to be themselves and strive for greatness no matter the obstacles. Last but not least, I want to empower those families on my team to get their freedoms and to have the opportunity to reach for the PlanNet Pledge.

My travel experiences include many of the Caribbean islands (Bahamas, Aruba, Turks & Caicos, Jamaica, St. Martin and St. Thomas, to name a few), several Mexican destinations (Cancun, Cozumel, Costa Maya). The South Pacific, Italy, and Paris are my next destinations.

“I have achieved success at PlanNet Marketing by understanding that successful people have successful habits. In order to be successful, you have to be coachable, persistent,  and consistent. By creating the conditions for others to motivate themselves and see them achieve their goals, I felt motivated and inspired to dream more, learn more, and become more. Encouraging and helping others added fuel to my fire to keep my flame lit. I feel when you constantly strive to improve, you build character and endurance. Staying focused on your goals blocks out distractions. Blocking out distractions is the key to success in this business. True success requires sacrifice, and you must be willing to make those sacrifices to be successful. 

“I am achieving success quickly because I am coachable, focused on staying plugged in to the PlanNet Marketing culture, meetings, and following the PS3 system. I didn’t really know a lot about network marketing, so I didn’t have to erase any old mindset of what I knew about it. It was something new and I was eager to learn. My upline leaders mentored, encouraged, and helped me with my goals and personal development. They literally gave me the tools to be successful. All I had to do was stay focused, take action, and keep moving toward my goals. I started helping others achieve their goals because we all are one team and together we all win!! 

“I have always been a planner and organizer. When this opportunity presented itself, I was waving my credit card and saying I am ready!!! Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Bradley, for having the vision and starting this amazing company.”

 
 

MEET 20/20 CLUB MEMBER TRAMAINE WILLIAMS!

Tramaine-Williams-2020-Article.jpg

PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Tramaine Williams to the 20/20 Club! Tramaine is from Tampa, but lives in Lakeland, Florida. She is the mother of two young men, ages 20 and 18 years old. She has been in the medical field for over 14 years as a Surgical Technologist.

Tramaine tells us, “I traveled often before I started my travel business ‘She Boss Travels,’ but I travel a lot more now. One of my favorite trips this year was for my 40th birthday, when I went to the Philippines for 14 days solo. That was the most calming and rewarding trip so far. My traveling has given other people hope and courage to do the same. Just from going on that solo trip, I brought in the most business partners.

“I would say being myself, staying consistent, and doing my business on a daily basis has helped me be successful so far. I will also say that you can't be afraid of rejection – just take the ‘no’ and keep going. Social media has helped me grow quickly because people are watching. The majority of my business partners are not family and friends, they're individuals I met on social media that have turned into family and friends. So if you're not tech savvy, I suggest you learn the ins and outs of this tech savvy world!

“I am still learning with the help of my awesome mentors, Sonya Barnes, Lorie Banatte, Natalie Nicole Graham and many more.” 

COMPLIANCE CORNER

"In this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." Benjamin Franklin

Today, let’s talk about taxes. Nobody wants to pay them (at least, I don’t think anybody wants to) but we HAVE to pay taxes. It’s the law, folks. At PlanNet Marketing – we follow the law.

PlanNet Marketing U.S. Reps are required to provide their Social Security Number, Federal Employer Identification Number, or their Government Issued ID Number for tax purposes. Every year, PlanNet Marketing will provide an IRS Form 1099 MISC (Non-­employee Compensation) earnings statement to each U.S. resident earning $600 or more, as required by the Internal Revenue Service. Each Rep is responsible for paying local, state and federal taxes on any income generated as an Independent Representative (IR). Reps who don’t live in the U.S. are required to submit a Form W-8 BEN, which is basically a notice of tax waiver – this form declares that the Rep is not liable to pay any taxes to the United States Government/IRS. Non-U.S. Reps are responsible for reporting their earnings as necessary and paying any applicable taxes in their own country and/or region.

Tax-time.jpg

Any U.S. Rep who does not provide a valid Social Security number is subject to the federal backup withholding laws, and 28% of their commissions and bonus will be withheld and submitted to the IRS. 

If you haven’t provided your tax information, or if you don’t know if you have, visit your Virtual Office (Go to My Account, Edit Account Profile and enter info in the Taxpayer Identification section) or call our Support Team at 470-443-9330.

-- Policies and Procedures Section 5.6 and 5.7, located in your Virtual Office in the Information Center (go to Resources, then Policies and Procedures).

Jessica-Allen-1Star-Announce.jpg

Meet new One-Star Director Jessica Allen! Jessica tells us she is from Georgia and currently lives in Lithonia, GA. She says, “I love spending time with my five-month-old son, going out to eat, experiencing new things, and traveling the world. I've traveled to almost 20 countries and 40 US states. My favorite places to travel so far have been Dubai, Hawaii, and Los Cabos.


“I've been achieving my success in PlanNet Marketing by remembering the 12 pillars of success and striving to achieve each one of them to the best of my abilities, along with duplication and building solid relationships with my team. My tips would be to stay coachable, trainable, read, plug in, and GO FOR THE NOs. I am a millennial and an entrepreneur for 17 years in the beauty industry who plans to retire in the next year or two to work my PlanNet Marketing business full time.”

 
 

MEET NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTOR RHONISHA JENKINS!

One-Star Director Rhonisha Jenkins 02.27.20.jpg

Meet new PlanNet Marketing One-Star Director Rhonisha Jenkins! Rhonisha is from the small town of Union, South Carolina and now resides in Columbia, SC. She says, “I’m a wife and mom of two small toddlers, Jihanna and Amiris. I graduated from Benedict College and am currently serving in the military for seven years.

“My interests lie in helping others grow and experiencing new opportunities while learning all at the same time. I have had the pleasure of traveling abroad and stateside. So far, I’ve had the pleasure of traveling to Spain, Cancun, Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Bahamas, New Orleans, Texas, Denver, Houston, San Antonio, Tennessee, New York, Las Vegas, and Chicago!

“The secret to my success with PlanNet Marketing is not being afraid to ‘go for it’ despite life’s situations. Remember to be coachable, teachable, and allow your upline leadership to help you. Get out of your own way and stick with income-producing activities. Always check your priorities and SACRIFICE (Law 18), get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Whatever you’re afraid of is where your PlanNet success is tied! You will be bad, good, great, and then relentless! This is exactly how I accomplished my goal!”

MEET NEW ONE-STAR DIRECTOR NICOLE LINDSEY!

Nicole-Lindsey-1Star-Announce.jpg

Meet new One-Star Director Nicole Lindsey! Nicole is from Baltimore, Maryland and lives in Atlanta, Georgia. She loves to travel, cook, eat out at nice restaurants, and visit amusement parks!

Nicole tells us, “I can’t seem to stay away from Mexico, but I’ve been to Jamaica,  Dominican Republic, Bahamas, and Puerto Rico.

“I achieved my success by partnering with like-minded people who love travel as much as I do, and wanted to make an income from it. I also plug into all of the company events so I can learn a lot, and do a lot of reading.”
