PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Annie Bryant Fields to the 20/20 Club! Annie tells us, "I’m originally from Richmond, Virginia, but Jacksonville, Florida has been home for the past 42 years. I’m blessed to have a wonderful family (husband, son - 40 yrs, daughter - 39 yrs and one grandking - 14 yrs), who I absolutely LOVE and who continue to inspire me every day.
"One of my greatest passions is serving people. I’ve been an ordained minister for 42 years and have had the honor of serving as a pastor, Bishop and Apostle for the past 12 years. Along with serving in full-time ministry, I enjoyed a rewarding 32-year career in education and was honored to be recognized as the 2003–2004 Clay County Teacher of the Year. I’m also deeply involved in community initiatives on the local, state, national, and global levels, serving on executive boards focused on domestic violence awareness, democracy in housing, faith-based initiatives, and women’s empowerment. I’m an author whose passion is helping people grow through faith, leadership, and personal empowerment.
"Travel has always been part of my life. I’ve traveled throughout the United States since I was a child and took my first international trip in my late twenties. Today, I love traveling as both a ministry and community leader, and I’m excited about the many worldwide adventures still ahead. Furthermore, I’m passionate about curating unforgettable travel experiences that create lifelong memories while helping others see the world.
"One thing people quickly learn about me is that I believe in staying connected, committed and consistent. Since becoming a rep in this business, I’ve often described myself as P.I.Q.U.E.: the Plugged-In Queen, Uniquely Empowering others. I believe success leaves clues, so I stay plugged into the training, plugged into my coaches and mentors, plugged into my team and plugged into the vision.
"My PlanNet Marketing journey has been both exciting and transformational. After joining the business a year ago, I reached the Gold Builder rank in just over three weeks. Shortly afterward, I encountered a major roadblock that could have easily discouraged me. Instead of quitting, I stayed the course. I continued praying, studying the industry, attending trainings, and plugging into every opportunity to grow.
"Then God blessed me with an incredible coach, Four-Star Director Patricia Johnson, who completely changed the trajectory of my mindset, my business, and my team. She recognized my leadership gifts, listened to my vision, believed in my goals, and poured into me wholeheartedly. I immediately applied every piece of wisdom and strategy she shared. That decision accelerated not only my success but also the success of my team.
"Today, I proudly lead a group of FIERCE TRAVELERS, an amazing team committed to building wealth, creating legacy, and helping others experience a better life through the travel industry. My genuine excitement for seeing people win has become contagious throughout my team and our organization. I truly believe that excitement duplicates excitement and when people see authentic passion, they become inspired to believe they can succeed too.
"My 'why' for PlanNet Marketing is simple: I love helping people expand their vision. Whether it’s creating an additional stream of income, leaving a legacy for their family, or experiencing places they never imagined they could visit, I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to dream bigger and live better.
"Another part of my journey that has shaped me is being a cancer conqueror of six years (had it in six areas of my body and now down to one area). This experience continues to strengthen my faith, deepen my purpose, and reminds me that every day is a gift from God. It fuels my desire to encourage others to keep moving forward, no matter the battles or obstacles in their life.
"One fun fact about me is that I wear flowers on my clothing and/or in my hair every single day. While I’ve always loved flowers, they took on a much deeper meaning over ten years ago. One day, a woman in a restaurant shared with me that she had been contemplating ending her life. She told me my joyful spirit, warm smile, and the flowers I was wearing caught her attention. I stopped at her table, spent time talking and encouraging her, and by the end of our conversation, she felt hope again. Since that day, I’ve intentionally worn flowers every day, praying they brighten someone’s day, spark a conversation, or remind someone that tomorrow is worth living.
"Whether I’m serving in ministry, leading in my community, mentoring leaders, building my PlanNet Marketing business, or helping someone by curating their dream vacation, my mission remains the same: to empower people, inspire hope, build legacy, and help others discover they are capable of far more than they ever imagined! PEACE In!"
