Congratulations to Ilene Meckley and Robert Clark for achieving One-Star Director! Ilene tells us, "Our journey in life began 20 years ago when we met, and 16 years ago we became husband and wife. From the start, everything we’ve built has been rooted in love, teamwork, and the belief that life becomes extraordinary when you walk it together. Today, as newly promoted Directors with PlanNet Marketing, that same partnership continues to guide every step we take.
"Life in Boynton Beach, Florida, has shaped so much of who we are. The sunshine, the sense of community, and the feeling of purpose here mirror the joy and connection we try to bring into our home, our travels, and our business.
"Joy and adventure fuel us every day. We love cruising, celebrating life’s moments, spending time with family, building community, enjoying music, and dancing whenever the moment calls. Helping others discover freedom and possibility is what keeps us inspired.
"Family is at the heart of everything. Together we share six children, seven wonderful grandchildren, and two fur babies who fill our home with love, laughter, and meaning. They are our greatest blessing and our constant reminder of what truly matters.
"Travel has opened our hearts in ways we never expected. Cruising is one of our favorite ways to explore the world, whether we’re watching sunsets at sea or dancing under the stars. Those moments remind us to slow down, savor life, and say yes to adventure. They also inspired us to help others create more freedom and more memories of their own.
"Our success with PlanNet Marketing grew from showing up consistently and leading with heart. We focus on sharing possibilities rather than pressure, inviting rather than convincing, and supporting our team like family. We built this business the same way we built our marriage, with trust, teamwork, and a commitment to lifting others as we grow.
"Along the way, we’ve learned a few things about growing quickly. Keeping your message simple and genuine matters. Staying consistent even when you feel unsure matters. Stretching your comfort zone, celebrating every win, and leading with your story matter. Staying coachable, connected, and kind makes all the difference. And remembering that you never have to do this alone makes the journey easier and so rewarding. We are deeply grateful for our coaches, our team, and every cheerleader who has supported us.
"We love dancing anywhere life gives us space, from cruise decks to our living room. We love sunrises, sunsets, travel memories, and the small reminders that life is full of blessings. Most of all, we love helping others see what’s possible for themselves, and we are so grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Bradley for what they have created for people like us who want to do extraordinary things. Even as baby boomers, we’re living proof that it is never too late to begin something new and make it meaningful"
