WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB, ANGELA MCIVER!
Welcome to the 20/20 Club Angela McIver! Angela is from Detroit, MI and currently resides in Houston, TX. She has traveled to Thailand, Dubai, the Caribbean, Europe ,and South Africa! Angela says, “My top three travel experiences would have to be Cape Town, South Africa, Carnival in Trinidad, and island hopping in Croatia. I have been an engineer for over 10 years in various industries; however, traveling has always been one of my passions. In March 2017, I started my business because I love to travel and had the desire to help others see the world. I also didn’t want to rely on my corporate job alone to provide the lifestyle that I want. In PlanNet, we all know you should never rely on a single source of income! I didn’t realize that I would love PlanNet Marketing so much and my desire to help families experience financial freedom would become a passion of mine as well.
“I am achieving success in PlanNet Marketing by doing the simple things consistently, following the system. It is so important to be coachable and follow the leadership that demonstrates the proven success system. My leaders all have a servant’s heart and have coached me to hit every goal from bronze, silver, gold, and now 20/20. I learned the power of leverage early on and now I'm ready to tackle the next goal of DIT (Director in Training)!”
WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB, KEYMONE & TAKEYA NOBLE!
Takeya is from Columbia SC, a former “military brat” with deep roots in South Carolina and Georgia. Her interests are music, reading, dancing, singing, arts, and crafts
Takeya tells us, “As for travel experiences, being a military brat and moving every few years, I always looked forward to meeting new people and learning new things. We have lived in Germany, Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland, Washington State, and Texas.
“Success comes from taking advantage of social media and travel parties. It is important to know the presentation inside and out - it helps that you master the compensation plan as well.”
Keymone is from Columbia, SC with interests of investing in the stock market, starting new businesses, and helping other people achieve success. He says, “I've enjoyed success much faster due to our team of entrepreneurs.
“I've traveled all up the eastern seaboard, to Las Vegas, Florida, and California as well, and I always seem to find myself in Atlanta! I have just booked a trip to Paris for my birthday on March 29th!
“I'm achieving success at PlanNet by simply sharing the opportunity with everyone that I meet and having a lot of confidence when I speak, so they get those vibes from me. I feel like anyone who is connected to me will win, because I'm going to win and never quit.
“A fun fact is that I never expected to grow a team in this business. I thought I was going to book a lot of travel, but God has other plans, so I'm going to follow Him as He guides me.”
NEWS FROM THE CORPORATE TEAM
COMPLIANCE CORNER
Last week we discussed marketing – today, let’s talk about branding.
First of all – what’s the difference?! There is a BIG difference!
Marketing says, “Buy our product! It’s better and faster and easier – you’ll love it!” Many of you market your product daily – on social media, in person, over the phone, in print.
Branding should go hand-in-hand with any marketing effort. Branding is not pushing your product on others, but instead pulling them in with who you are and how you do business. It’s communicating the characteristics, values, and qualities that tell a person what this particular brand is and is not.
A brand will help encourage someone to buy a product by supporting whatever marketing strategies are being used, but the brand does not say “buy me.” Instead, branding says “This is what I am. This is why I exist. If you agree, if you like me, you can buy me, support me, and recommend me to your friends.”
PlanNet Marketing has a very specific branding strategy. We want to be the BEST – we want to be the best at sales, at marketing, at answering phones, at answering questions, at supporting our Reps, at helping our employees, at hosting meetings, at paying on time, at following the rules, at explaining the rules, at building a company, at building an atmosphere…we want to go above and beyond.
We want you to be the best too! We want you to be professional, ethical, helpful, encouraging, positive, friendly, smiling, successful. Are you there? Are you doing it? Or have you painted a very different branding image for your business?
I CHALLENGE each of you over the next week – look at yourself, look at your brand. Who are you telling the world you are? What are you communicating in your social media posts and comments? When you ask your team and clients “What am I? Why do I exist?” - what do they say? Dig deep and make sure that your marketing efforts aren’t going to be eclipsed by your branding. Make a decision to tell the planet exactly what you’re about and get people to agree with you – you won’t have to market nearly as hard if people agree and like you and support you. If they know you and know what you’re about – they’ll want to buy from you and they’ll recommend you to their friends.

LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT ON: THREE-STAR DIRECTOR TONY FLEMING
1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. I currently reside in Smyrna, Georgia with my lovely wife. I like to spend my free time reading. Earlier in my career, I worked for the Atlanta Journal in sales. From there I moved on to become an account executive for AT&T until I started working in home-based businesses for over 20 years.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
PlanNet Marketing has given me the ability to share my gift of being a teacher. It has given me the ability to grow more, learn more, and teach more.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
That growth is the impetus for our desire for PlanNet Marketing to become a legacy company.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
President Barack Obama, because of his ability to have strength and deal with the pressures without imploding. He seemed very calm and cool over the eight years he served in office. I'm sure he was very stressed but never showed it. I hope one day that I can be like that.
5. The three words that describe you best are:
Silly, Straightforward, and Driven
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Travel more at an early age. Monitor your environment. Study how money works.
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years older and a lot more calm and wise.

WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB, VALENTINA CEASAR!
The 20/20 Club welcomes Valentina Ceasar! Valentina is an Atlanta, GA native and a Christian mom who loves traveling, teaching, and the arts. Her love for photography and painting inspires her travel experiences and she says she has been blessed to visit many different countries all around the world. Valentina is a former technology professional and now a business owner and homeschool mom to an amazing ten-year-old aspiring scientist named Arvil.
She shares, “When first introduced to PlanNet Marketing, I didn't join the opportunity for the money. I partnered with the company to experience more and to connect myself with like-minded individuals who desired more out of life. Since becoming a business partner, PlanNet Marketing has awarded me the opportunity to help other people achieve success and that is something I have become incredibly passionate about.
“I absolutely love people and what a pleasure it has been to serve and help others WIN on this new journey. After all, leadership is believing in "people over profit" and helping others on my way to the top. That philosophy is how I've achieved success thus far with this project. I am forever and truly grateful for the vision and leadership from our founder and CEO, Mr. Donald Bradley. We are FREEDOM FIGHTERS ON A CRUSADE TO CHANGE LIVES! I knew from the very first time I heard Donald Bradley's message that I had found "IT" and I would be a part of something life-changing!”
WELCOME TO THE 20/20 CLUB, SUMMER LEE!
New 20/20 Club member Summer Lee is originally from Easley, SC and now resides in Columbia, SC. Her interests are design and artwork, running, traveling, dancing, and playing sports. She tells us that her travel experiences include several trips to Mexico, almost all 50 states (including Puerto Rico), and Europe. Her desire is to visit as many places in the world as possible and gain all the cultural experiences she can along the way.
Summer says, “I have to start by saying that success in this business is not achieved alone. I would not be where I am without my team or my accountability partner. I am achieving success at PlanNet Marketing by incorporating my business in all I do. This business is a lifestyle and if you treat it as a business that gives you a desirable lifestyle, then success is in your future! Helpful tips…eliminate fear by approaching it. Whenever I get a feeling of hesitation, I know that is the direction I should go first. If I don’t want to do something, then I tend to make myself do it more often so that it becomes one of the things that I don’t mind doing. For example, if talking to strangers is my fear, then I make it a point to speak to everyone within arm’s reach of me. Each conversation is unique and all may not result in business, but the end goal is the same…build a relationship and gain a business partner! Fear only exists in your mind…overcoming your own mind along with doubt is key. I always tell my business partners there are only two answers…”Yes or No” - and you’ve heard both before!
“A fun fact about me: I am the first female wrestler in the state of South Carolina!”

“My tip for achieving success in PlanNet Marketing is to be patient and persistent. My fun fact for others is to get a jump rope. This will help you to get used to jumping and throwing a line for people who need that extra help!”
