PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Laura Harris and Ryan Trawford to the 20/20 Club! They tell us, "We are Laura and Ryan, a married couple from Devon, UK. We both work full-time – Laura is an ecologist and Ryan works in pathology, but we have a huge passion for travelling and wildlife. We absolutely love travelling 'off the beaten track,' experiencing new cultures and living like a local. We took a four-month sabbatical from work and travelled around South America, which was just the best experience. We travelled almost the whole continent but some standout moments included snorkelling in the Galapagos, researching macaws in the Amazon and hiking in Patagonia. Some of our favourite destinations include Zambia, Sri Lanka and Colombia; we have now been to 16 countries together!
"The aim for us is to be able to live life on our own terms, which for us means travelling when and where we want without the tie of a 9-5 job. After our sabbatical, we realised the 9-5 lifestyle and crazy work/life balance in the UK was just not for us. This opportunity is becoming our vehicle in which this dream can become a reality. Laura is already going to go part-time on her job so she can focus more time on our business as we want to help as many people as possible with this incredible opportunity.
"Community is a HUGE part of this business for us. The fact that we are part of and are creating a like-minded team of travel lovers is just amazing! We've had a team trip to Albania in September and over 45 of us are going to the Maldives in February, which is going to be incredible! We also plan to reach Directorship whilst we are there.
"Consistency is key, and the only way to fail at this business is by giving up. This business has really taught us that you need to have patience, and although we jumped straight in on this opportunity, others may take time – and that is ok! We also truly believe that this business is all about mindset. If you do not have the right mindset, you will go nowhere! Believe in the product, believe in the business structure, but more importantly, believe in yourself.
"Fun facts: We got engaged in the Bolivian mountains at sunset! Ryan grew up in Botswana! We try to go to Jamaica once a year as Ryan is 1/2 Jamaican and has family there."
