PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Rachel Dickenson to the 20/20 Club! Rachel tells us, "I grew up in a small town in the North East of England but for the last 21 years I have lived in the beautiful city of York. Right now I'm a freelance fitness instructor, but started my career in travel and corporate event management. During the pandemic I fell pregnant, I realised I needed and wanted something to allow me to be home for my kids but to also provide an income. The journey into travel entrepreneurship and network marketing began. I haven't looked back. The journey hasn't been easy and it's definitely not been as quick as others, but there's a goal set and as with most things in life, with long term vision, consistency and a willingness to learn – the goal will be reached.
"I lost myself a little bit in becoming a mum and this business has reignited something within, reminding me I'm 'more than just mum.' It's allowed me to grow, it's allowed me to learn, it's allowing me to earn and it's something I now get to share with others and help them do the same. The connections and lifelong friendships made through PlanNet Marketing, the team I'm building and the network I'm a part of feels like the best bonus.
"In 2024 I was lucky enough to cycle across Vietnam and Cambodia, an unforgettable trip. As a family, we try to ensure we have one ski and one sun holiday a year with a few extra mini trips thrown in and rarely do we go back to the same place. Family travel and memories are huge for us and we've never let the fact the children were young stop us from exploring the world. Our youngest is at 11 countries and counting, he's 4. We have lots more to go.
"Outside of travel and work, being outdoors plays a huge part in my life. Hiking with our dog, paddleboarding and swimming in particular. I enjoy being in nature – whether it's sat on the beach listening to the sound of the sea or climbing a mountain and soaking in the views. I'll never ever say NO to a spa day though!
"Fun fact: I teach aerial hoop/lyra."
