1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
So first of all, my name is Dave Scott. I am 34 and a father to my beautiful daughter, Savanna-Rae Scott. I was born in Shrewsbury and spent a lot of my youth in different countries due to my dad being in the Army. When I turned 17, I went to Turkey as a rep and spent three months there. From there, I moved to Mallorca, where I spent 16 years running bars/clubs and having some of my own event companies. I also spent six months in Andorra snowboarding, which has been one of the best experiences of my life. I’m now currently living in Nottingham (UK). My hobbies are football, golf, snowboarding and of course, travelling.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
Starting in network marketing many years ago, I was in a dark place, which is why I joined this company, to be surrounded by incredible, driven people in this business. This has opened me up so much and completely changed my life due to the incredible community we have. My confidence has always been sky-high, but I used to hide behind a little bit because I never used to have a passion for what I was doing, until I joined PlanNet. Now you can’t shut me up about this incredible business.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
My drive at first was the commissions and getting to the top of the pay plan, but I soon realised what drove me the most: having the ability to help others and change their lives, not just business related but personally as well, just like it has done for me.

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
Hands down, I have to say my business partner/upline and mentor, Laura Holmes. I’ve been friends with this woman for 18 years and she literally helped me every step of the way when I was in a very dark place, and still to this day, we work closely every single day without fail. We have worked together for MANY years and I owe a lot to her. Also my amazing girlfriend, Lauren Mayes, who I actually met in this business and who has completely turned my life around.
5. The three words that describe you best are:
Energy, determined and passionate.
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Don’t be a Dave. Be a Dave Scott. When I first joined PlanNet Marketing, my business didn’t move for four months. I was so uncoachable and thought I knew it all, due to previously being in network marketing. I didn’t follow the system at all. After four months and a huge telling off from Laura, I started everything again by going back through the training and following the simple steps. Ten months later, I hit One-Star Director. So again, don’t be a Dave who didn’t follow the system and wasn’t coachable. Be a Dave Scott, who did what his upline advised him to do, and keep it simple.
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
In five years, I WILL be a Four-Star Director. I WILL be having dinner with Donald Bradley, teaching him the offside rule in football (not soccer). I WILL have changed my family’s lives forever and I WILL have 12 Directors in my organisation.
