Mr. Donald Bradley shared vision and insight with the entire PlanNet on a “State of the PlanNet” Facebook Live event a couple years ago, and while so much wisdom was relayed, I do believe the most powerful phrase he shared that day was that at PlanNet Marketing – “We are NOT waiting, we are WORKING!”
As a die-hard PlanNet Marketing Rep who lives and breathes entrepreneurship, you are probably experiencing obstacles in life, but YOUR BUSINESS is not one of those obstacles. You understand the significance of financial freedom and you are more determined than ever to keep moving forward. Business as usual.
With our future in our own two hands, we sometimes consider options that we might never have considered before – that can be good and that can be bad. Choose to think outside the box and reinvent yourself and your business. Sharpen your leadership and networking tools and come out a better leader and a more competent business professional.
Please, do not consider paying for other Reps or ITAs – ever! Even if someone says, “Sure, you can pay for a month for me.” You might feel benevolent and generous, but you aren’t helping anyone. If you choose to pay for Rep accounts or ITA at-home agencies for others, you risk losing your Rep business with PlanNet Marketing. It’s against the rules and it can give the appearance of fraud within your downline. Helping another person “keep the lights on” during a tough time sounds like a win-win, but unfortunately it just isn’t allowed.
Helping people is the right thing to do – it’s not only good, but it’s encouraged at PlanNet Marketing. We are a relationship business, and helping others is a huge part of why Mr. Donald Bradley started this company. Keep in mind though – there is a HUGE difference between giving a person a fish and teaching a person to fish. Teach your team to fish – don’t just hand out one easy meal. Give them the tools to help themselves, to learn how to run their business WITHOUT your constant supervision. Duplication is key. Maximize the opportunity of the time you have been given, right now. Go back to the basics, visit our “Library” and review training videos. Do the small things consistently. Press in, read, prepare, sharpen your tools and be ready! Be working!
