PlanNet Marketing congratulates Tonya Christophe for achieving One-Star Director! She tells us, “Hello, my name is Tonya Christophe, also known as ‘Momma Tonya” within the business by the millennials. I am 53 years old. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas and am married, a mother of three and two grandchildren. I have a bachelor’s degree in business management, and I am also a private health care provider. I love the thought of helping people. I started this business a year and a half ago. I call it my blessing in disguise because my husband and I were in the process of searching for something that would heed us passive income. We didn’t want to solely depend on Social Security once we retired. I work PlanNet Marketing on a part-time basis, which will soon become full-time within the next year.
“My passion is to make a change in someone’s life, such as single parents raising kids alone or the youth who are transitioning into adults that have had early stumbling blocks in life. Regardless of their circumstances, my goal is to showcase that there is a way out with the right guidance.
“Growing up, I have always been an adventurous kid. I love to go places and experience new things. Since joining this business, I have met so many new friends and business partners. I have had the opportunity to travel more than ever. Last year, I went on at least six vacations. No more traveling once or twice a year for me! I will be scratching off some of those things on my bucket list. Whoop! Whoop!
“I achieved success by keeping my eyes on the prize. I am an extremely competitive person by nature. I genuinely believe in the energy from the earth. I knew right off to stay away from anybody who displayed a negative vibe towards me. Always be genuine when it comes to doing business or helping others. This business revolves around building relationships with people.
“The way that I achieved success was being COACHABLE. To be a great leader, you must learn to be slow to speak and quick to listen. I never doubted anything that my leadership presented to me. I knew from the jump to stay close to my upline. Did I ever have my down moments? Yes, I did. There were a few lazy and frustrating moments throughout the journey, but I knew not to let the process punk me out of my blessings.
“A huge fun fact about me if you really get to know me is “I’m a BIG kid at heart.” I still love to skate, dance, joke, play games and most of all, enjoy the simple things of life.”
