THIS WEEK’S PLANNET SPOTLIGHT ON: ONE-STAR DIRECTOR ARIEN RAGSTER
1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I'm from Shreveport, LA and currently still residing in Shreveport, where I became the first One- Star Director in my hometown! I enjoy spending time with my two daughters and making an impact in the lives of youth and my community as the Business Community Liaison of Shreveport Job Corps Center.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
The personal and professional development has been priceless and I can't thank Mr. Bradley enough for having the vision to provide this vehicle and culture that has truly blessed me, my team, and my territory (1 Chronicles 4:10). The training videos in the PlanNet Marketing Virtual Office are so instrumental to not only my professional life in PlanNet Marketing, but also in my professional career at my full time job. One of my favorite videos is the Colors training video by Four-Star Director and my sorority sister, Ms. JP Watkins, which was an eye opener for me in that it allowed me to truly understand different personalities with individuals and how important it is to truly understand people to succeed in business and in life.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
My children are my ultimate motivation. As a single mother of two girls, it's important that I make it happen for us. Period. My dreams have literally petrified me and fulfilling those dreams truly drives me to reach them. Every day I am amazed with how many people reach levels of success in this business and as General Moore says, "We're just getting started.” That sentence alone literally scares me! Not because I'm afraid of the success but because my dreams are that big! My sponsor, coach and Three-Star Director, Mrs. Lynn Hendricks, is a constant driving force that has truly pushed and pulled greatness out of me that I can honestly say I didn't know was inside of me. Another driving force is definitely my team! Hearing their stories of how they desire to win in this business, as well as witnessing promotions inside my organization, motivates me to continue to help them get everything that they desire out of this business.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
I would consider my parents to be my role models! My mother and father never showed us the real struggle as kids; they worked hard to make sure our needs were met. I greatly appreciate everything they did to raise me to be the woman I am today.
My mother is definitely my role model because of the sacrifices she made for her family to have things that were not available to her as a child. She has been the most supportive person in my life who believes in me even when I struggle to believe in myself. I admire her grace, poise, strength, and her faith in God, all while working a full-time job, raising my sister and me, being an amazing grandmother to my girls and nephew, and being the devoted wife to my father for 45 years! She is my blueprint of how to be a woman of God and is truly my role model.
5. The three words that describe you best are:
Outgoing, Loyal, and Driven.
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Don't be afraid to change for the better. I live by the mantra that my mother instilled in me at a young age, "If I do what I've always done, I will be what I've always been!" Change is necessary to evolve and elevate to your next level of success.
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now I will have reached a seven-figure income part-time in PlanNet Marketing, with one daughter finishing high school and going to college debt free, and continuing to grow a team and share the message to those who desire to earn more, save more, and experience more in this amazing business project.
