PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Jayme Torres to the 40/40 Club! Jayme tells us, "I am a California native and grew up in a low income community in the suburbs, near Los Angeles. Most of my friends' older brothers were in gangs and graffiti was a common thing in our neighborhood. I was fortunate to have amazing parents who worked tirelessly to give my siblings and me a better life; they taught us the values of working hard and dreaming big and knowing that that all things are possible with goals, determination and a heart to serve others. My parents worked very hard to eventually move us to a home in a nice community. They made sure we were educated, went on affordable family vacations and that we learned to give back to our community. Some of my favorite memories were camping with my family, visiting our local convalescent homes and tutoring children at school with learning disabilities.
"Ironically by my senior year in high school, I found myself bored and searching for more, and to my parents' great disbelief, I decided to drop out of high school. Needless to say I found a job immediately and began earning a paycheck.
"I had always been an entrepreneur, and would spend my days daydreaming about other opportunities. I even briefly sold cosmetics for a network marketing company at age 16. After a lot of hard work and determination, by age 26 I was married, had my daughter and opened my own brick and mortar business. Six years later, I found myself as a divorced single mom trying to make ends meet and keep my business afloat. Those were the days that I did anything I could to make sure my daughter would have the life she deserved. I was not going to dwell in my own 'pity party' and knew that those lessons I learned as a child must be the voice in my head as I continued to pursue my dreams and search for that perfect opportunity.
"Fast forward a few years, I met and married my 'person,' my best friend and business partner, Steve Torres. Together we have created a happy life with our five children and eight grandchildren and fortunately we share the same dreams of creating multiple income streams and a better life for our family. The day I told Steve I found this opportunity, I knew that our lives and the lives of others were about to be changed forever. I remember not being able to sleep for a week!
"Thankfully, as this story continues, I am currently in my 50s and feel that my long search for that perfect opportunity has ended right here with my PlanNet family. I am grateful to Mr. Donald Bradley, my incredible mentors in this business, Kenzie Wright King and Cindy Bruggerman, and my amazing team of hard working individuals who are pursuing their dreams and better lives for themselves and their families. Thank you to the leaders before me who have paved the way, thank you for the opportunity to lead with my serving heart and to continue reaching for the STARS! Next stop on my vision board is One "STAR" Director to be exact! The best ending for me would be to help as many individuals as possible to also reach for those 'STARS' and to know that all things are possible with goals, determination and a heart to serve others."
