PlanNet Marketing is proud to welcome Lawanda Baker to the 40/40 Club! Lawanda is a native of Jackson, Tennessee and currently resides in Alabaster, Alabama. An award-winning graphic designer, Lawanda is the epitome of art – “I love art and all things creative.” Her artistic appetite only enhances her love to explore. Being a travel business owner has allowed her to fulfill a dream of traveling to France with her daughter, Laila. Of course, that is only the beginning. She tells us, “It is miraculous to see the change in my daughter’s mindset. PlanNet Marketing has allowed me to set a bar that’s above the norm and as a result my daughter now has an above average picture of the world as well.”
Additionally, this business has been a financial lifeline for Lawanda and her daughter. After climbing the corporate ladder, becoming an expert in the field of graphic design, and building someone else’s dreams for nearly 20 years, Lawanda was terminated from her corporate job. “Thank God for PlanNet Marketing! Not only was I able to feel more financially secure during that time frame, but because of the leadership principles and relentless mindset that has been poured into me, I knew a 9-5 was not my only option. Because of my focus and determination, PlanNet Marketing has also allowed me the opportunity to pay off debt and save. All these things were made possible because I made the decision to GET STARTED and NEVER GIVE UP!
“Special thanks to Mr. Donald Bradley for his insight, wisdom and vision for this company! Thanks to my coach and sponsor, Mr. Orlanda Moore. And of course, thanks to my amazing team, business partners, sideline partners, family, and friends for your continued support and encouragement!”
Though she is still very much a student of the industry and has many levels to reach, Lawanda eagerly and humbly shares a few tips she has learned along the way. “Become a sponge, absorb everything you hear and see…COPY your leader and their work patterns, DECIDE that you will become successful. Leaders are not born, they simply decide to lead, so make the decision and just DO IT. And once you have made that decision, position yourself to be groomed into the best leadership version of yourself! My coach, Mr. Moore, tells us that in order to function at a high level of leadership, you must not only coach, train, and develop your team, but YOU must be open to being coached, trained, and developed as well. Last but not least, never give up – STICK and STAY!
