THE PLANNET MARKETING SPOTLIGHT SHINES ON: MEGAN HUGHES

Megan-Hughes-Spotlight-Oct9.jpg

1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born and raised on the Wirral, near Liverpool in the UK. Although I now live in North Wales, whilst travelling around the world a lot with my partner. I have always loved travelling and it has been my number one passion for as long as I remember. When I was younger, I would just sit and stare at a map for hours – still to do now, to be honest.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I can't even explain how much I've developed as a person over the last year since being in this business. My confidence, self-belief, self-love, financial knowledge and sooooo much more! I am a totally different person in the best possible way.

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
The idea of being totally financially free is what drives me! Being able to travel wherever I want, whenever I want! I also want to help support my family, tip hard workers, give big donations to charity – that makes me emotional.

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
Sounds cheesy, but my parents are amazing people and are probably my biggest role models. I've been so lucky, they have always told me to try hard at the things that make me happy! And that's what they have done, too!

5. The three words that describe you best are:
The three words that describe me best are positive, determined and loyal.

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
If I only had one piece of advice to give, it would be to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND DON'T LET ANYTHING ELSE GET IN THE WAY OF ACHIEVING WHAT YOU WANT! Make a decision to be happy and stick to that. Nothing else matters.

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
In five years, I want to have travelled all over the world, be completely financially free, have a beautiful home and a very happy family.

PLANNET MARKETING WELCOMES APRIL SONNENBERG TO THE 40/40 CLUB!

4040club_sonnenberg_april.jpg

PlanNet Marketing is proud to welcome New One-Star Director April Sonnenberg to the 40/40 Club! April tells us that she is a 52-year-old small town girl with a big heart to help people. She is originally from Holgate, Ohio and now resides in Findlay, Ohio. “I am a mom of three beautiful daughters, grandma to seven amazing grandchildren and a wife to my best friend and man of my dreams of 33 years! I am a family girl; we are all always together when possible, blessed beyond measure! We love camping – well OK, glamping in my case! We always look forward to having friends and family over for cookouts and fires. One of my favorite hobbies is interior design. I would say the other is planning amazing honeymoons! 

“Travel is something I’ve always dreamed of doing, although not a priority as our children were always involved in so many activities year-round. This business has allowed us to be able to travel and experience things I only ever dreamed of. Also being able to help others pursue their dreams is amazing and so powerful. 

“I am currently a brand new One-Star Director, and now a member of the 40/40 Club! I recently resigned from a position in ICU as a patient care technician to work my business full time and continue to build our empire and legacy! I have held many sales positions in the past, and nothing compares to PlanNet, nothing. This business is the only company that has the world to offer us if we follow the plan and plug in! Those are my most important words of advice. If you want to succeed in this business, Mr. Bradley has designed a system that works! Stop trying to reinvent the wheel; it's not broken and he has created a chariot, get in and ride!! And don't wait! Plug in and practice what we have, lean in, and leverage your leaders! They so graciously give of their time and talents.

“Since becoming a PlanNet Representative, I have learned that self development is crucial to growth! Also reading and being coachable and be willing to put in the work! I also had to learn to stop being so emotional and taking everything so personally, put on my big girl pants, and learn from my situations. Learn to GROW through what you GO through. I can't stress plugging in enough and the importance of it. 

“Your WHY has to be bigger than your why not! When I truly embraced the concept of leaving my family a legacy, a will and not a bill, it truly drove me to work towards my goal and now my goals are growing. Have the passion to pursue your goals – together we accomplish more (T-E-A-M). 

“I feel so blessed to have such an amazing upline who has always believed in me, never gave up on me, and was always there to support and mentor me. Miss Cindy Bruggeman has made an amazing impact on me in this business and Miss Jennifer Smith has been such a huge support and friend. And accountability is not an option – find someone who will push you, encourage you, and cheer you on even when you don’t think you can. I am so blessed to have found that in Director Amy Boes and an amazing lifelong friendship.

“If I had to describe myself, I would say compassionate, caring, and supportive. My advice to anyone who is serious about becoming successful is to plug in, stay connected, and speak and write your goals to everyone! Believe in what we have. My walk with the Lord and His leading keep me grounded. God bless.”

PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Yvonne Johnson to the 20/20 Club! Yvonne became a PlanNet Marketing Rep in April 2019. She says, “My amazing husband Damon (Chuck) agreed that this business opportunity can change our family’s lives and he became a Representative as well – and so our journey began.

“With the coaching and mentorship of my One-Star Directors Dianne Polite-Gore and James Gore, I am now 20/20 and a Director in Training. It’s a simple process to follow but it’s hard work. I had to and am still self-developing, staying plugged in, and staying coachable. I thank God for our Founder and CEO, Mr.and Mrs. Donald Bradley, for being obedient to their calling, and to his leadership team…they are touching lives they will never meet.

“I will be forever grateful for being a part of the best place on the PLANNET. I look forward to climbing the PlanNet Marketing star ladder! I am part Dream Team and Legacy and together we will win. CAN’T STOP, WON’T STOP. ONE PUSH, WE ALL PUSH!”

MEET 20/20 CLUB MEMBER KAREN LOVE!

Karen-Love-2020-article.jpg

PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Karen Love to the 20/20 Club! Karen is originally from Scotland but now lives in Cambridgeshire, England. She shares that she is married with a 15-year-old boy who loves to play football, so she is at the side of the pitch most nights. She loves to do pilates and yoga and spend time with family and friends.

“I have been travelling since I was 11 when I first toured the USA representing Scotland with the swimming team. I returned there when I was 19 and got a job as a chef for the summer in Pennsylvania before buying an old Chevy and again toured around from there to Canada, then down to Florida before making my way back up the east coast to New York and a flight home. All in a car that cost me $50 and had no working windscreen wipers; we had to use coathangers!

“I have also been lucky enough to spend a summer working in a hotel in Switzerland and had the pleasure of being able to spend weekends off on the Amalfi coast as well days off in Lugano and Milan. My bug for touring was satisfied yet again the following year when I bought an Interrail ticket  to travel around Europe by train, and set off with no destination or plan. It was very easy to do this cheaply by going to a station and looking to see what location would take approximately eight hours overnight to get to and then sleeping on the train. Doing it this way we were able to visit many more places like Bonn, Amsterdam, Venice, Pisa, Milan, Nice, Paris and many more. As well as my touring trips, I have also had the fortune to be able to enjoy lots of family holidays to countries including Turkey, Tunisia, Egypt, Greece, Corfu, Rhodes, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Majorca, Tenerife, Lanzarote, and Ireland, among others.

“As for my top tips to achieve success in this business, I would say they are to be coachable, take a look at who is succeeding and do what they do, never give up even on tough days, be prepared to work bloody hard and give up time in front of the TV, always follow up with prospects, and be yourself. Don't care what other people think of you and have confidence in the fact that you will achieve your goals, don't compare yourself to others, but be driven by your own why; and above all, be consistent.”

“A fun fact about me: I once hula-hooped in front of the Queen!”

 
 

COMPLIANCE CORNER

Scary-truths-2020.jpg
Amanda-Restivo175.jpg

It’s time for our annual installment of "Scary Truths from PlanNet Marketing." The truth about following the Policies and Procedures and remaining legal and ethical in your business dealings can be very scary, but with a few tips and a healthy dose of knowledge, your PlanNet Marketing business won’t elicit fear in the hearts of you or your business partners.

Know the Rules, Follow the Rules

One dark, scary Halloween night, some independent contractors were just leaving their weekly meeting when a shadowy figure approached from across the foggy parking lot. As the figure drew closer, they saw it was a businessman; he had some questions and the contractors had better have answers!

Do you get scared just THINKING about answering a prospect’s questions? What if you don’t KNOW the answers!?! That’s easy! PlanNet Marketing has your answers.

Here at PlanNet Marketing we advocate a business that is compliant and duplicatable – follow the rules and teach others to do the same. Step one is always to KNOW the rules yourself. Educate yourself first. When you ride in an airplane, the flight attendants always remind you to put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others. If you can’t breathe, you won’t be able to save anyone else.

Get your oxygen masks out and prepare for anything. Learning the rules will give you the peace of mind that your business is compliant and ready to duplicate.

There really is no substitute for reading the rules for yourself.  I truly wish each and every PlanNet Marketing Rep would read the entire Policies and Procedures document – all 23 pages of it! But the reality is that Reps often “agree” to be bound by these important rules without even a glance at the content of the pages. Nothing can compare to knowing the details, but I’ve created a one-page set of bullet points that gives you a high-level overview of many of these policies (not everything). Start by reading this one-pager! Once you get through it, dive into the full document. Not knowing these rules puts you and your business in danger of loss every minute of every day, and that is really scary.
