1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I am a divorced mom of two adult sons, a retired Verizon FIOS installer and a pastry chef. I love baking, traveling, dancing, singing, reading, watching movies and spending time with my family. I have been a serial entrepreneur most of my life and started my first venture as an Avon lady when I was 27, then became a Tupperware manager, a Creative Memories rep (scrapbooking), an Herbal Life rep, and then decided to start my own online bakery. My greatest accomplishment of all of them has been my bakery, which I have owned and operated by myself for six years.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I am definitely not the person I was two years ago when I joined PlanNet! I have been able to get out of my comfort zone in a lot of areas. I moved out of my own way and focused on following the leadership and developing myself mentally by reading a lot more than I ever had prior to joining PlanNet. I have much more confidence in myself as a leader for my team than I did in my first week in the business, after signing on two new business partners within four days. I’ve learned that a TEAM will allow you to achieve more than if you go it alone.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
In the beginning, once I knew what I could leave behind for my grandchildren who have not even been born yet, it was the PlanNet Pledge! Just knowing that I could leave a legacy behind and create generational wealth for my family lit a fire under me that drove me to get to directorship. Now that I am a One-Star️ Director and secured my legacy, my drive is focused on helping my business partners achieve the same thing! I want to see all of my business partners who desire to be directors become directors and continue to help many families start their business and do the same!
4. The three words that describe you best are:
Determined, Focused and Unstoppable.
5. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Never give up on yourself! We are all here for a purpose and God does not put us on a path that we are not supposed to walk! Listen to your coaches and your mentors, because they are there to help you and not hinder you! If I had not listened to the coaching and the mentoring that I received, I would not be a One-Star Director today. I still listen to my mentors and my coaches, because with each level, there’s new learning! Stay plugged in to the PlanNet and never miss an event that you are qualified to attend!
6. What does your life look like five years from now?
My life five years from now will be amazing, because I will be a millionaire living very comfortably in a home close to the beach! I will own a home somewhere where it’s warm all year round, where I can enjoy watching my grandchildren play while I relax. I will still be working this business and helping families secure financial freedom, personal freedom, and time freedom, because this truly is the Best Place on the PlanNet!
