PlanNet Marketing is pleased to introduce this new feature in the PlanNetNow! Blog which will shine the PlanNet spotlight on your incredible company leaders. Directors will all answer the same set of seven questions, offering advice, motivation, tips, and how they achieved success with PlanNet Marketing. It’s a focused insight to a leader’s mindset and path to success! This week we begin with Walter and Tiffany Powell and Kenneth and Natalie Graham.
1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
We both were born in New Orleans, LA. Married 24 years this upcoming June. We have five sons, one godson, one daughter and a grandson. Our hobbies include traveling, family time, reading, fine dining, and of course shopping! We've enjoyed much success in Real Estate. However, the greatest highlight has been the involvement and development of our partners in PlanNet Marketing.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
Since joining PlanNet Marketing we've experienced growth beyond imagining. Until now, never have we witnessed the metamorphosis of greatness in so many at one time.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
That growth is the impetus for our desire for PlanNet Marketing to become a legacy company.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
We count Mr. & Mrs. Bradley as role models due to their undying commitment to marriage, family and community. They personify the excellence and achievement we strive to possess.
5. The three words that describe me best are:
We're very loyal, caring, passionate and devoted and some, if not all of these qualities we must exercise in this Space of Leadership. (LoL)
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
We would advise you to pursue your dreams with all the vigor and emotion known to man. Why? "CHAMPIONS are willing to do what they hate in order to create what they love."
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now our prayer is to experience the fulfillment of life without any limits. Simply put:
teach what we've been taught, inspire by our lifestyle, motivate by our testimony, and empower by our giving. Thank you PlanNet Marketing for the opportunity to serve!!!
DIRECTOR KENNY GRAHAM:
1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born in and raised in Laurinburg, NC with my parents Kenny Graham, Sr. and Mollietta Graham and my little sister Destiny. Married to Natalie Nicole Graham and we have four children. I played baseball for the Chicago White Sox and now with the Arizona D'Backs.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I have grown in PlanNet because of the knowledge I have about the business and the network marketing industry. My skills as a leader have grown tremendously and because of the leadership of Mr. Donald Bradley and Mr.Orlanda Moore, I'm excited to grow even more while still being a student.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
My Princess Savannah who is my first born is what drives and motivates me because I want to be a hero to her and show her that whenever someone says no, God will always say yes. Also seeing my wife live out her dreams motivates me to be even more successful.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My parents are my role models because they've always taught me no matter where I go in life, never forget where I come from. My parents never allowed anything or anybody to justify who they are as individuals and showed me how to always be true to myself. Also, they've been married for 30+ years and I desire Natalie and I to have the same bond and covenant.
5. The three words that describe me best are:
Alpha, Confident, Humility
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
"Don't cheat yourself - treat yourself."
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now my family will be living in the house I've always dreamed of somewhere in Central Florida. I see myself still playing pro baseball and living out my dreams while continuing to help my wife live hers and being blessings to others the best way we can.
DIRECTOR NATALIE GRAHAM:
1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born and raised in Hartsville, SC where my grandparents had a farm raising hogs and chickens. I currently reside in Loganville, GA with my husband Kenny and our four children: J'Ron, 19, Morgan, 10, Madison, 6 and Savannah, 15 months. I used to work with animals. I was a veterinary technician, then pursued massage therapy, which I practiced for years until I got into the corporate field.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I've always loved PEOPLE and SERVING others. PlanNet Marketing has granted me access to my gift. I've always set trends in the past .I won Most Unique as my high school superlative. I've always dared to be different and PlanNet Marketing gave me the platform to be able to share that with others around the world.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
There are many factors that motivate me. It depends on the day. I am naturally a self-driven individual but I've been motivated by these things before…fear of lack, seeing how many lives are being changed because of a decision I made on Nov. 5, 2015, hearing ‘I can't’ or that ‘it can't be done that way,’ the desire to prove naysayers wrong, the desire to leave my family a legacy…to name a few.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
A role model for me would be Jesus. I aspire to be more like Him. I have always loved the phrase “What would Jesus do?” I think if everyone actually asked themselves this simple question, they'd make better decisions. It's funny because when I was younger, I used to tell my dad (who died from cancer when I was the tender age of 11) that I wanted to be just like him! He said, “No baby...be BETTER than me.” I've always carried that and I know he'd be proud of the woman I've become today.
5. The three words that describe me best are:
Driven, Optimistic, Servant’s Heart
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
I would tell people that you can truly do ALL things through Christ who strengthens you. It's one thing to pray for something but you've got to get up and do the work.
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now, I see so many families across the nation living the lives they have always dreamed of because of my obedience and taking a leap of faith. I see my entire family traveling together for long periods of time because we all have the time and financial freedom through this company. I see a lot of stars in five years! lol
