PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Christina DiNatale to the 40/40 Club! Christina tells us, "I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, and before finding my way into the travel industry, I worked in the mortgage world and later as a life insurance broker. I’ve been self-employed for six years, and while that came with freedom, it also came with a lot of lessons in discipline, faith, and resilience.
"For a long time, my definition of success was purely financial. I thought hitting a certain income number would mean I’d 'made it.' In 2023, I reached that milestone and took myself to Hawaii to celebrate, but while I was in paradise, I realized something was missing. I had financial and location freedom, but ZERO time freedom. I learned a lot later than I would’ve liked to in my entrepreneurial career is that if you don’t have systems in place for your business to run without you, you do not own a business, You have a job with a little bit more free freedom.
"I didn’t want to trade my time for money anymore, and I understood I had to hire in one industry or another to make that a reality. I wanted to build something sustainable. A business that could grow even when I wasn’t constantly 'on.'
"That’s when I discovered the travel industry. What started as a side venture to align with my love for travel became an opportunity to create residual income, build community, and help others design a lifestyle that gives them both freedom and purpose.
"Today, I’m focused on continuing to grow, mentoring others in the business, and working toward Director. My goal isn’t just to create early retirement for myself, it’s to help others do the same and build a legacy that lasts long after us."
