LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT ON: ONE-STAR DIRECTOR CHARLES KINDRED
1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born in Memphis, TN, but my family relocated to Detroit when I was an infant; thus I have always considered Detroit home. I currently live in “America’s Finest City” - San Diego, CA. I recently celebrated my 33rd wedding anniversary with Gail Kindred. I am a proud father of two and grandfather of two precious babies. I enjoy family time, photography, sports, cooking, and of course TRAVEL! In a previous life, I retired from the San Diego Police Department, and again from the State of California.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I have always enjoyed working with and helping others. PlanNet has shown me how I can do more than just help a few people - through PlanNet, I can help countless generations. PlanNet has offered me an opportunity to leave an indelible mark on the world. But in order to do that, I have to continue to grow my leadership skills, communication skills, and patience.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
What motivates me is thinking of the future that I am currently creating for my grandkids and their grandkids. To be that acorn that provides “financial shade” for generations that I will never meet, is what drives me. I have a recurring vision of my great-great grandkids pointing at my portrait on a wall and commenting on how I changed our financial bloodlines by not only saying yes to this opportunity, but working to make it happen. I want my family to experience a life of abundance.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
This is a difficult question for me to answer. I have learned a lot from a number of people. I can’t really say I have a role model. However, someone that I greatly admire is Nelson Mandela. His willingness to sacrifice his freedom for a cause greater than himself was truly remarkable. His efforts to end apartheid provided a road map of sorts for the Civil Rights Movement here in the United States.
5. The three words that describe you best are:
Analytical, Trustworthy, and Compassionate
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
I would offer that it is most important to be willing to “trade ego for equity.” To do that, you must be coachable. I had to learn to discard my corporate mindset and embrace the system/processes PlanNet has in place, which was hard to do. I guess 33 years in the public sector made me great at thinking like an employee, but not so great at thinking as a business owner. Once you understand the differences and embrace the process, your growth/success will accelerate!
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now, the Kindred Dynasty will be firmly entrenched! I will be a Ten-Star Director, my wife will be an Eight-Star Director, my son will be a Ten-Star Director, my daughter-in-love will be an Eight-Star Director. I have cousins and nieces that will have hit the Five-Star Director level. We will have established a number of philanthropic endeavors, to include a multi-state education, entrepreneurial, and sports academy serving underprivileged youth, multi-state senior housing facilities, and a travel program for low income families.
MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBERS JOE AND KAREN BANKS!
PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Joe and Karen Banks to the 20/20 Club! The couple is from Augusta, GA and now reside in Grovetown, GA, a suburb of Augusta. They appreciate spending time with their family and friends, especially their adorable grandchildren. Joe and Karen are huge Atlanta Falcon and Georgia Bulldog football fans and love exploring new places and meeting people. Joe says, “We have traveled to numerous places domestically such as Las Vegas, Washington, DC, Myrtle Beach, SC, and Orlando FL. International destinations include the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Bahamas, and Mexico. We plan to take our dream destination trips to Dubai and Greece soon.”
On achieving success they tell us: “Our success comes from utilizing the system that is in place and being coachable. We are committed to attending all meetings and events that we are qualified to attend. And also the weekly team and business calls have helped us stay informed and motivated in our business. Last but not least, we have discovered that obtaining personal development by reading the suggested books has given us a winning attitude. We would tell everyone to talk to and engage with people to build relationships with them. Always remain positive and write down your goals. We are in a people- and relationship-building business. We love meeting new people and talking to them. Lastly, just be your best self.
“The way we have achieved success so quickly has come from just following the system by hosting travel parties at our home and showing our team how to do the same; also utilizing the PS3, other tools, and following the amazing leadership that we have.
“One little fun fact about us is that people would be surprised to know that we love to cook and entertain at our home. I like baking cakes. My wife loves trying new foods and recipes. We are huge foodies at heart. We are having the best time of our lives with PlanNet Marketing and this is the BEST business decision we have ever made.”
MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBERS TAMICA AND EDDRICK PIPER!
PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Tamica and Eddrick Piper to the 20/20 Club! Tamica tells us, “Eddrick and I both were born and raised in Texas and now live in Grand Prairie, TX, a suburb of Dallas. We are both foodies and enjoy traveling. We have so many places on our bucket list, which is one of the reasons we believe starting a travel business just made sense. We are so excited about reaching 20/20 and can't wait to help even more families.
“We believe by being consistent and continuing to push through, even when there are more ‘NOs’ than ‘YESes,’ that we can help more families than we could ever imagine and reach all of our goals in the process.
Team Piper is just beginning and ready for the next level in our journey!!

Here’s more "Scary Truths from PlanNet Marketing." The truth about following the Policies and Procedures and remaining legal and ethical in your business dealings can be very scary, but with a few tips and a healthy dose of knowledge, your PlanNet Marketing business won’t elicit fear in the hearts of you or your business partners.
Keep Your Account Active, Pay Your Monthly Fee
It was a dark, stormy Thursday morning, a commission payment day, and somehow you missed paying your PlanNet monthly account fee of $19.95! *screams of fright* “NOOOOOOO!”
To enjoy all the benefits of being a Rep with PlanNet Marketing, you must remain active by paying your monthly account fee of $19.95. If you don’t pay your monthly fee, you risk missing out on commissions!!! And even more scary, you risk losing your business. *GASP* Yes, it’s true!!!
An inactive Rep is no longer eligible to receive weekly commissions. A Rep who is inactive for 30 days or more is no longer eligible to earn residual commissions. A Rep who allows their business to remain inactive for 60 days or more will lose all rights to their downline and Matrix position. If that Rep doesn’t reactivate within the 60-day grace period, PlanNet considers their account cancelled and their agreement with PlanNet is expired. We monitor for inactive accounts and turn them off weekly. The Rep who owned the now canceled account must re-enroll (under the same sponsor) and begin building their team from scratch. Ranks or qualifications from the old account do not transfer to the new one. SO SCARY!!! But, it’s true.
PlanNet Marketing is working to protect the Personal Freedom, Time Freedom, and Financial Freedom of each and every one of our Reps. If PlanNet allowed Reps to hold onto inactive positions indefinitely, the networking model would fail. In order to protect those Reps who are active and fulfilling their agreements, and protect our Matrix, we must enforce the active renewal of each Rep account.

LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT ON: ONE-STAR DIRECTOR RENELDA VICTOR
1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born and raised in Laplace, LA (25 miles west of New Orleans, LA). I am a mother of one amazingly smart daughter by the name of Rani who keeps me motivated to strive hard each day. I am newly engaged to my heaven sent soulmate. When you have been through the storm, the sun shines again one day! I love traveling and creating new memories that will last a lifetime, listening to music, and giving thanks back to God - He is the reason for my success! In my past life I worked in sales, banking, and the oil and gas industry.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
PlanNet has helped me identify my true passion; it’s the only company in which I have ever desired to build a team. However, I don't look at it as building a team - I have grown to look at it as helping someone become financially free, or helping them gain time freedom as well as personal freedom! I've grown so much since I started my road to freedom; I wouldn't change it for the world!!
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
My daughter drives and motivates me daily! My goal is for her college tuition to be paid in full so she doesn't have to worry about obtaining a loan to fund her way through.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
I would consider my parents to be my role models! My mother and father never showed us the real struggle as kids; they worked hard to make sure our needs were met. I greatly appreciate everything they did to raise me to be the woman I am today.
5. The three words that describe you best are:
Loyal, Motivated, Independent
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Don't give up on yourself - hard work and dedication will pay off in the end!!
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now, I will be a six-pushing-seven-figure income earner…traveling the world, helping one family at a time!

CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW 40/40 CLUB MEMBER LOUISE GATLAND!
MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBER ROSALIND CHEADLE!
PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Rosalind Cheadle to the 20/20 Club! Rosalind is originally from Arcadia, Oklahoma, born and raised. She tells us, “I am a wife to my very supportive husband, Dale Cheadle, and mother of four beautiful daughters! I also have four wonderful grandchildren - Malloree, Charlie, Maxwell, and Halaya!! (they are absolutely my Why) whom I truly adore. I've owned several traditional businesses, but I've always had a passion for travel. When I was introduced to PlanNet Marketing, it just made sense to me. I was already booking travel for my family and for others, and I knew other people who needed an additional stream of income. One thing that I would tell people that helped me get to the next level was to plug in. Being plugged into the calls and remaining coachable is key in this business. The next thing I would share is following up with prospects and having a huge list. Also, never forget your Why and keep it written down where you can see it every day.
“We've always been a family that loves to travel. My husband and I wanted to give the gift of experience to our children. One very special memory for me was the cruises I planned for our 23rd wedding anniversary. One daughter (Cynphony) was graduating from high school, one daughter (Harmonniey) was graduating from law school! And my other daughter (Meladee) was graduating from pastry school! Last but not least, my baby girl (Lyric) was graduating from 8th grade!! We went to Jamaica and took our entire family! I’ve always wanted to show my children the world! With this opportunity, I will be able to show them and others.
“My goal is to help as many families as I can to have the same opportunity to not just experience travel as a merchant but to leave a legacy for their families. I'm so grateful to Mr. Donald Bradley for his vision and to my sponsor, Sharonda Johnson, and my Director, Dexter Grier, for all of their coaching and support. And last but definitely not least, my thanks to my loving husband, my rock, for everything he does to support our dreams!!”
MEET NEW 20/20 CLUB MEMBERS CRYSTAL AND CEDRIC OWENS!
PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Crystal and Cedric Owens to the 20/20 Club! Crystal shares, “Cedric and I met while attending FAMU obtaining our Doctorate of Pharmacy degrees. Cedric was born and raised in Jacksonville, FL and I am from Louisville, KY - we’re a match made in heaven! After graduating we relocated to Louisville, where we both work as healthcare executives, raise five-year-old twins, and spend a lot of time with various youth mentoring organizations. We truly believe in growing the next generation of leaders. We both enjoy spending time with family and friends, we LOVE traveling, and building a secure financial future for generations to come. Over the years we’ve had the pleasure of traveling to St. Lucia, Italy, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Greece, Aruba, Jamaica, Bahamas, as well as several places within the U.S. We have since realized that nothing beats traveling as a travel business owner! Success with this business doesn’t come without work.
“We believe the following has led to our success so far:
Being fearless, believing in ourselves, and being willing to learn as we grow (you won’t know everything on day one).
Staying connected to our mentors, coaches, and plugging in to the plethora of trainings offered by the best company on the PlanNet.
Working together as a team and leveraging our individual strengths. (I’m a GREEN/YELLOW blend, and he is a RED!!!)
Leading our team by example and having frequent communication to help them achieve their goals.
“One fun fact about us is that starting this business has been a new adventure; we have grown closer by using our “free time” to work our business. We have a goal of visiting all 50 states, as well as over 100 countries during our lifetime. We look forward to planning more travel adventures for clients as well as our young family.”
COMPLIANCE CORNER
Here’s more "Scary Truths from PlanNet Marketing." The truth about following the Policies and Procedures and remaining legal and ethical in your business dealings can be very scary, but with a few tips and a healthy dose of knowledge, your PlanNet Marketing business won’t elicit fear in the hearts of you or your business partners.
Know the Rules, TEACH the Rules
*BRRRING, BRRRING* The phone rings and it’s your new team member, the one who was so excited to get started and just sold their first ITA. They got an email from PlanNet Marketing Compliance because they broke a rule and they have until tomorrow at noon to reply. Even worse, the Rep is telling you that they did EXACTLY what you taught them to do, and it’s not compliant. What do you do now!? *Duh, duh, DUUUUUUUUUUH*
Here at PlanNet Marketing, we advocate a business that is compliant and duplicatable – follow the rules and teach others to do the same. Step one is to always KNOW the rules yourself. Step two is to TEACH your team!
How are your teaching skills? Are you uninformed about PlanNet’s Policies and Procedures and unknowingly teaching your bad habits to your team? What if you are teaching your team to BREAK THE RULES and you don’t even know it!?
Per our Policies and Procedures, every Rep is responsible for knowing and following our rules. But Reps are also responsible for training their team! Don’t duplicate your business until you’re confident that you understand and are following the rules.
If you or a member of your team gets an email from PlanNet Marketing Compliance, it can feel scary. Just be responsible and respectful in your response and we will be respectful and as helpful as we can. The PlanNet Marketing team is ON YOUR SIDE! We want you to succeed. If you got an email, it’s probably just asking for you to make a change to become compliant. Please make sure you respond to the email in a timely fashion. There’s no need to call your upline Director and have them call in and speak to me. You are responsible for your business and the best way to take responsibility is to own up to your mistake (whether you knew it was wrong or not) and then learn from it and move forward. In matters of compliance, it is important for the Company to have a written record of the matter. Yes, it can feel scary – but together we can take your business out of the spooky shadows and into the light of complete compliance.
