Congratulations to Lucinda Faucheux for achieving One-Star Director! Lucinda tells us, "I'm originally from Essex, but moved to the coast just outside of Brighton to go to university, and never went back home. Since then, my career has taken a few twists and turns, from working as a fashion buyer in London to building a career in audio visual tech.
"I've always been an avid traveller, with a passion for South East Asia - so it felt like fate when I hit One-Star Director in Bali (whilst I was asleep!) - the absolute best feeling!
"Before I left my job to pursue a life of freedom with PlanNet Marketing, I worked as a Director in tech procurement. It looked great on paper, but it was quickly burning me out, losing precious time with my daughter, and impacting my mental health. PlanNet Marketing gave me a way out. A genuine alternative to corporate life, and the chance to build something that gives me the most valuable gift of all: TIME.
"When I started my business, like many, I occasionally posted pictures of my dog on Instagram, had only 100 followers, always avoided presenting at work, and wouldn't dream of sending a voicenote! If that’s you now…keep going.
"The key to success? Treat this like the business it truly is. Keep showing up, keep learning, keep trying, and keep going – even when it feels tough or things don’t go to plan. Talk to people. Share the business. You never know who in the world might just need this opportunity.
"We all have different networks, different circles, different stories, so open yours up. Be proud to talk about how incredible this opportunity is."
