PlanNet Marketing congratulates Michelle J. Burley-Carr for achieving One-Star Director! She tells us, “I am a passionate and intentional warrior for the elevation of women empowerment globally. I lead women on a journey to discover their life purpose on a platform of entrepreneurship in building a generational wealth legacy of global impact, through a global leadership. I am a proud native of Chicago. But where I am from, my DNA, I was born into and raised by a family of entrepreneurs – parents, grandparents, and extended family. Growing up, Chicago was the melting pot for minority business owners. If you had vision, drive, determination, and talent, you could own and operate a successful business in Chicago. My father had the vision and a highly specialized sought-after skill set, and my mother had the business acumen; together they executed their dream, Pierre’s Auto Body. Known around the country for his custom paint jobs and being one of a few skilled fiberglass (think Corvettes) auto body repairmen in the US, my parents created something from nothing! And it was a non-negotiable requirement that my siblings and I learn the family business too – my brother learned auto body, while my sister and I learned business ownership.
“I am a 20+ year resident of Stonecrest, Georgia, where I live with my husband, Dedrick, and three sons – Franck Jr., Brandon, and DJ, and our dog, Rosa, (wo)man’s best friend. My interests are family, travel, and mentorship…helping people succeed when they cannot see their own success. My biggest reward is showing average people how they can not only turn travel dreams into reality, but how to become a travel business owner.
“Growing up, my mother was very adamant in making certain that we were exposed to opportunities, especially travel. There was always a family summer trip planned, and next to Christmas and my birthday, I always looked forward to those summer vacations! As an adult, I have continued this tradition with my own family to destinations that are both exotic and steeped in history – destinations I thought I would never be able to visit. Since becoming a partner with this company, I have been afforded the opportunity to live out my wildest dreams, both in terms of travel and financial independence. So, while my bucket list is constantly evolving to include more and more destinations, I am able to realize them in a much shorter timeline!
“To achieve success, you have to stay connected – you must embrace the process and allow the culture to get deep inside of you, because that is the key to elevate you to your next level! Consistency. Sense of Urgency. Follow-Up! If you want your life to work, you must be willing to do the work! The work that is vital to ensure you reach your highest potential. My favorite quote by Eric Worre: ‘Inconsistency steals more from you than any other bad habit. I would rather have a person work a dedicated ten hours for a year than someone who’s red hot one month and gone the next and hot the next month and gone the next. Inconsistency is an organization destroyer.’ I commit time each day to work on building my business. Stay focused! The way you achieve success so quickly will help others do the same. You are good at what you love, but not disciplined enough to love what you do not know. Lastly, don’t waste your finite time and heart trying to convince the people who aren’t your people that you have value. They will miss it completely. They won’t buy what you are selling. Don’t try to convince them to walk your path with you because you will only waste your time and your emotional good health. Be who you are. Embrace that you are not everyone’s cup of tea and that is OK! You have to be built for network marketing! Seek to share your path with those who recognize and appreciate your gifts, who you are.
“I am a breeder of entrepreneurship in what it takes to be a successful business owner! It took me a significant amount of time to identify my passionate target niche! I knew I had it in me and it’s THE BUSINESS OF TRAVEL. In addition, I am a proud business owner of Carr Commercial Cleaning Services in Atlanta, GA with my husband Dedrick V. Carr, Sr. We are passionate about creating multiple streams of income. We are committed to doing the work to create living legacies and a legacy for everyone attached to us.
“A fun fact: I have always dreamed of being a National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) race car driver! My dad was a professional NHRA Pro Stock race car driver and my brother currently drag races too. I guess it is something else that is in my blood, my legacy. I AM Magic!” She Is A Spirit of Esther: Be an Esther, bold and courageous enough to stand for the truth, to voice your opinion and fight for the good of others, even when it means to sacrifice yourself. If God has put you in a position, it is for a purpose. Never be afraid to heed that inner voice.”
