1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born in Essex, England but left the UK to live in Mallorca, Spain when I was only three years old. I had a wonderful childhood growing up in the sun and learning to speak Spanish from such a young age, which has been a real gift. At the age of 16, I moved back to the UK to further my education and take my A Levels and then went on to university, but that only lasted about 8 weeks. I had itchy feet and wanted to see the world. I was full of great ideas and big dreams so I moved back to Spain and started working in the party scene selling club events and within a year had my own sales teams breaking records and filling the main resort venues. In the low season I would go traveling and exploring new places and cultures and grew a huge passion for travel and adventure.
When I was introduced to PlanNet Marketing, straight away I saw the potential of what I could do with a company where the positioning and timing was so right, with a product I could be passionate about, travel, and something was just telling me to go for it. A year later I haven't looked back, living in Nottinghamshire, UK with my husband and three children. I am so happy that I took the leap. I am a Two-Star director with an incredible organisation of people that make me want to wake up every day and be excited about life.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I know more than ever that your circle is so important, and being surrounded by people that inspire you to level up is a must if you want to reach your full potential. I have been committed to working on my mindset and personal development on a daily basis and know that it is important to keep growing if I want to be the best leader I can to my organisation.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
I don't want to look back in years to come with a feeling of regret for not giving it my all. I want to give my children and family choices and the freedom to live our best lives. I wake up every day now with a fire in my belly not only to help my own family but to inspire as many people as possible to do the same. Every small win my team has lights me up over and over again, and being able to impact and give value to so many people within my own organisation and the wider team gives me so much fulfillment and purpose.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
Marcella Burge came into my life at just the right time. The fire and energy she gives off, the pure discipline and determination reminded me of me in my 20s when I was thriving in business and life. I was almost 40 when we met online around a year ago now, feeling stuck after having made some bad business choices, putting myself and my family in a large amount of debt, and I wasn't quite sure how I was going to fix things. Marcella’s straight talking and honest mentorship has inspired me to level up and have a no excuses attitude. If you want to make a change, then be the change, if you want things to work, then do the work. I will be forever grateful for the friendship and leadership she has brought into my life.
5. The three words that describe you best are:
Resilient, determined, and passionate.
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Go ALL IN. Be disciplined even on the days you don't feel motivated; make sure you still get it done. Behave as the leader you would be inspired by and remember that your team will become a reflection of you, so always strive to do and be your best.
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
I will be living a life of freedom and choices. I will be a Six-Star Director plus, and have positively impacted 1000s of lives helping so many people reach Directorship and leave a legacy to their loved ones. I will be showing my children the world and creating wonderful memories together. I will feel fulfilled, proud, with a full heart and thriving team, happy family and incredible friendships.
