Cheryl-Clemons-Spotlight.jpg

1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I am Cheryl R. Clemons, born in Chicago, reared in Oklahoma City, where I currently reside. I am a mother of seven beautiful children, grandmother of 6 1/2 amazingly talented, gorgeous grandchildren. I love to golf, dance, and play the piano. I am honored to have been named PlanNet Marketing Iron Woman, 4 and Free, 20/20 Club member, Gold Builder and the first One-Star Director in the State of Oklahoma.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
PlanNet Marketing has helped me to develop personally by connecting with some fantastic leaders. It has helped me reach beyond the things that are happening in that moment and focus on the bigger picture, push past the disappointments, and hope again. I realize if there is no hope in the future, there is no power in the present.

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
Like Mr. Bradley says, if your bank account is not where you desire it to be, that should motivate you. So knowing that my bank account is NOT where I desire it to be, motivates me!

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
I like Tiffany Powell's tenacity and determination. I remember a time with her at the Women in Black event in Oklahoma and to see her NOW, wow! Also, when she asks me, “Sis, where you at?” I tell her. She is REAL, but encouraging with her responses. I can respect her for that…she praises and corrects.

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Loyalty, Integrity, and Determined.

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
My advice would be, run your race. Stay focused and put your blinders on and stay in your lane. Help as many as you can with your gift, compete but don't compare, be real with yourself, and last but not least, ENCOURAGE YOURSELF DAILY. You will have enough negativity from outside sources to last you a lifetime.

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
In the next five years of my life, I will be a Six-Star Director or very close! I will be in the top 30 income earners (at a minimum) by helping at least 10 people get to Directorship, with multiple Gold, Silver, and Bronze Builders ranking in my organization. My grandchildren and I will have traveled to 30 countries. I will still be thanking God, and giving God all praise and honor.
