“My name is MaryEllen Poellnitz, affectionately known as MP; I am sponsored by Tammy Young and my Director is Thomas Lovelace. These two individuals did not just get me in, but they got me through, along with the sincere coaching of Director Ferne Sapp.
“I am a competitive energetic mother of three, yet helped to raise four. I’m a wife of 31 years who loves family. My favorite things to do are teach the Word of God, travel, and serve others. I am a native of Pittsburgh, PA and I have resided in Georgia for the past 16 years.
“My preferred vehicle to travel the world is through cruising. I’ve visited countless beaches and islands since my first cruise in 1997, and I plan to never stop.
“Achieving my success did not come without hard work, challenges, self-affirmations, and a strong leadership team who simply cared about my success. Working as a team collectively, plugging into calls, meetings, conventions, and numerous travel, virtual and zoom parties, both online and offline, is why my success was sure to happen!
“Tips are never ending, but what I can say is don’t wait until you become a Director to act as one. Walk in your Directorship now! See yourself as a Director NOW, just like how I saw myself draped in a blue jacket (in my mind) at the very first meeting I attended. I would intentionally wear suit jackets (blue in color) to the meetings and events until I earned one from PlanNet. Remember, BEHIND ALL THOSE UNSUCCESSFUL NO’s, THERE ARE A LOT OF SUCCESSFUL YES’s…DO NOT GIVE UP!
“Achieving success so quickly did not feel quick enough for me. My goal to hit Directorship was 12 months from the day I partnered with PlanNet. However, I did not hit Directorship until 17 months later. Consistent coachability, accountability, accessibility to both my coach and my team, and availability were my key traits of how my success came to fruition.
“Fun Fact: I lose my eyeglasses about 80 times per day.
I’d like to leave you with this…Estee Lauder once said, ‘I never dreamed about success, I worked for it.’ Well that’s me!”
