Never stop learning! Three new training videos have been added to the PlanNet Marketing Mobile App and are also available in your Virtual Office. Don’t miss this valuable business building information! Watch today!
1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born and raised in St. Henry, Ohio, a small little Catholic town in the middle of the cornfields. I am the youngest of nine children. My parents will be celebrating 65 years of marriage in June. I lived in Mississippi for a year right after high school and then Virginia Beach for five years before moving back to my hometown. I now have five children and our first grandchild has just arrived. We love to spend time at Lake Erie, fishing, boating, tubing, and just being in the relaxing lake atmosphere with family and friends.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I have become more confident and know that I’m worthy of success since joining PlanNet Marketing, because my leaders have seen my abilities and forced me out of my comfort zone to do trainings and presentations, when in the beginning I never felt capable.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
What drives me? Knowing that I am not where I want to be. It hasn’t been very long since a debt collector has called and I don’t want to go back to that. What motivates me? We have a house and property picked out at Lake Erie that we’re going to purchase this year and we’re going to build our dream home on that property one day. The image of that home and all the memories our family is going to create at the lake house is what keeps me motivated to do my action steps every single day.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My Dad. He has been disabled since I was six months old from an injury. He has never complained about the daily pain he suffers. I never remember him just laying around. He’s always busy and active, even now at age 91. I have had six foot/ankle surgeries since I joined this business three years ago. He taught me to not let the ordeal affect my work, to push through, and do the best that I can do every day and to be grateful for what I have. I may not always be mobile, but I have my voice, my hands, my mind, and technology so I can still work my business during those times!
5. The three words that describe you best are:
Humble, Giving and Self-Starter.
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Be consistent DAILY doing action tasks to build your network.
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now, our youngest daughter will be off to college. I will be 50 and we will have a few grandchildren by then to enjoy. We will have our dream home built on our lake property that we’re buying next month and we’ll have a boat that our whole family will fit comfortably in. My husband will be resigned from his job and working this business with me. We will be traveling around the world visiting our team, helping and training them with events.
PlanNet Marketing is proud to welcome Grace Hopkins to the 40/40 Club! Grace tells us she is from Nottingham, United Kingdom, and in addition to traveling, she says,”I grew up as a horse rider and it’s one of my biggest passions; animals in general hold a huge place in my heart. The photo below was of a dog I met in Mykonos in October…he smiles in the photo if you look closely!! I am a big Manchester City fan! I am also very interested in learning about mindfulness and methods of mindfulness. It’s something I am really working on at the minute.
“My top travel experience was traveling the French Riviera where I visited Nice, Cannes, and Monaco. All are three very different places to visit, but Monaco especially stood out to me. It’s another world out there! I definitely made additions to my goal board while out there. Seeing a neon green G Wagon was one of the highlights! I love my cars! Another travel highlight of mine was when I visited Johannesburg – I would highly recommend a sunrise safari trip to everyone and anyone! The next big trip planned is Thailand!
“I am achieving success at PlanNet Marketing by staying consistent, following the process, and being patient – my three top tips to my team. I also lead a VERY busy life as I am doing this alongside my full-time job, so making the best use of my time has been a skill on its own. I also tolerate no excuses in my team. I am currently renovating a house with my partner and even when I am there, in between chopping pieces of wood or holding up a plasterboard on the ceiling, I am replying to my prospects and working on my business. If you think you don’t have time…believe me, you do. You’re just not making the best use of it! YOU CAN SLEEP ON YOUR YACHT WHEN YOU ARE RICH!!
“I love telling this story…it was a call that was delivered by one of my uplines that changed the game for me and changed my mindset completely. When I joined, I honestly had no clue what network marketing was; I didn’t know what it took to make it, how to make it, or where to even go! One business building call – that’s all it took for it to click. I then started researching, following the process, wrote a daily method of operation, and here I am…out the other side with 40 direct people in my team AND achieving One-Star Director! So my advice would be, if you are feeling lost or stuck in a rut, talk to the experts – they have been there and they can help you! I am so grateful for my support system in the business.
“A fun fact: I am a singer!! I have been played on the local radio a few times. Not many people know that about me!”
Each week we will list the new 20/20 Club Members as soon as their pictures are received so that their recognition will be timely. The personal 20/20 Club features will continue; currently there are many 20/20 Club Members who have sent in their bios, but due to the growing number, have not yet been featured in the blog. Watch for your bio in future editions of PlanNetNow!
Recognition is very important and we hope this new format shows how much we value our 20/20 Club Members! Congratulations to everyone who has achieved this very important level in your PlanNet business!
PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Antuinette Miles to the 20/20 Club! Antuinette tells us she was born in Baltimore, MD and currently resides in Woodbridge, VA. “I love traveling and spending time with my family and friends. I have always traveled, but since being in this business, I have traveled to more desirable locations such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, London, Paris, Germany, and so many more. One of my favorite travel experiences so far was visiting the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
“I have been achieving success in PlanNet Marketing by staying consistent and taking care of my business partners who I bring into the business. The main tip I would give is to always offer both businesses in the beginning if you plan on growing a team. If you just sell a travel agency, you will get a team full of travel agents. If you sell the life change that PlanNet has to offer, then you will get a life-changing experience!”
PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Amber Washington to the 20/20 Club! Amber shares, “I'm from Chicago, IL, now residing in Montgomery, IL with my husband and two children. I enjoy meeting new people, traveling the world (of course), taking chances, trying new foods, and living life to the fullest. Life is too short to live inside of a box!
“I've been traveling since I was a little girl. My mom would take my sister and I on trips all over the world. She opened my eyes to the world and showed me there was more to life than Illinois. Hence, while in undergraduate school, I took the opportunity to live abroad in Madrid, Spain while completing my studies. What an amazing opportunity!!!
“I'm achieving my success in the business by staying connected! It is so imperative that one remains connected to the right sources and people. I'm staying connected to God and allowing Him to guide me. I'm listening and staying connected to my sponsor, Felicia Miles, and taking in all of the knowledge she provides me. How can you survive if you're not connected? Exactly – you can't! I'm achieving my success via social media and my business runs 24/7. Lastly, I'm not afraid to share the opportunity. This is an amazing opportunity that was shared with me so I want to pass along the wealth.
“Fun little fact about me per my husband...I'm more of a sports lover than I appear to be!”
There are so many amazing things you can say about PlanNet Marketing, but we do have some rules. Soooo, if you want to create an eye-catching Facebook post or a beautiful flyer, what can you say?
1) Opportunity. Talk about being a Rep with PlanNet Marketing! Go ahead and tell the world about how you are personally experiencing personal freedom, financial freedom, and time freedom. We love those posts! Tell the world how to "Design your amazing, ideal life through a lucrative home-based business model where YOU are in control!"
2) Product. Talk about the InteleTravel ITA. It's your product, so sell it. Make sure you don't talk about agent pricing or perks though. When you talk about the ITA, you should talk about selling travel, earning commissions (on travel sales), and learning about the travel biz! It's as simple as that. "It's rewarding. It's social. It's fun. It's TRAVEL and you can own it!"
3) Background. Feel free to share information and statistics about PlanNet Marketing and our Founders! We have some great info about our company right on our website and also in our presentation. You can also share info about InteleTravel and their leaders.
4) Income and Disclosure. Feel free to talk about the income potential that PlanNet Marketing offers, but please note that ANY TIME we talk about money, we need to reference the PlanNet Marketing Income Disclosure Statement (IDS). The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is very serious about providing consumers with accurate and complete information about earnings before that consumer makes a purchase. In our industry, it's super important to safeguard our business by always disclosing complete earnings potential as shown on the PlanNet Marketing IDS. All you have to do is include a link to that page with your online post -- https://www.plannetmarketing.com/en-us/Income-Disclosure.
As always, we want any personally created flyers or marketing materials to be reviewed and approved by PlanNet Marketing compliance – email them to us at Compliance@plannetmarketing.com.
Please remember – it is not compliant to use the PlanNet Marketing name or logo on your flyers, videos, or presentations. Only materials and websites created by PlanNet Marketing may display our name and logo.

On Tuesday, our Founder & Chairman Donald Bradley brought up a discussion on his book recommendation, As A Man Thinketh by James Allen. Mr. Bradley was joined on this call by Five-Star Director Ms. Eileen Ross, as they discussed a chapter titled ‘Effect Of Thought On Circumstances’ and how "Thoughts are things and you cannot separate things that you think about from your actual circumstance." Mr. Bradley went on to discuss how this topic relates to our current life situations during this time. Take a listen to the replay and hear some great insights on this recommended reading by Mr. Bradley.
