1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born in Jackson, Mississippi, and am currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia. I've been a Vice President in corporate America for the last 23 years. I have three wonderful children and one beautiful grandchild. Of course my favorite hobby is traveling...but I also enjoy reading and spending time with family and friends.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
My personal development over the last three years has been unbelievable. My posture and confidence when it comes to sharing this business is through the roof. I used to have concerns that my "successful" peers would not get it...but now my desire to be the evidence is so much greater than anyone's perception.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
Having the ability to give my children OPTIONS drives me. I went to school, got the degrees and that great job...but never felt like I had options to pursue whatever my heart's interests were because of the need for financial stability.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
Definitely my father. His ‘stick-to-it-ness’ has always motivated me. His drive is like no other. I have always appreciated that about him. If I can take a small amount of that and apply to my business the sky's the limit. On those days that I'm fighting the attrition and not feeling like doing the presentation or the no's have come fast and firm...I reflect on him and get back to it.
5. The three words that describe you best are:
Three words that best describe me are Happy, Compassionate, and Resilient.
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Don't let fear, complacency, or other's opinions deter you. Work as hard as you have worked for others.... FOR YOURSELF. Don't quit...it's the only way to fail in this business.
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Traveling with my family and still helping as many people as possible get the time, personal and financial freedom we all deserve.
