PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Melissa O'Neal to the 20/20 Club! Melissa tells us, "My husband and I, along with our 14-year-old son, and our pup, Luna, are originally from Kansas. However, since January 1, 2022, we have been traveling full-time. Travel is my number one passion, which is why we live a life filled with constant exploration. We love hiking, exploring nature, and riding bikes as a family with Luna. We’re on a mission to visit all 50 U.S. states (currently driving to state 47) and visit all 63 national parks! One of my most significant travel experiences is being on the verge of visiting all 50 states. Our world is full of breathtaking beauty, and I've also had the privilege of exploring a few other countries with my family.
"The biggest lesson I've learned in this business is to step outside my comfort zone and embrace new challenges to continue growing. Additionally, following the guidance of mentors has been crucial to my success.
"Sharing my passion for travel has made this journey easier. It’s essential for people to see and feel your passion. When you’re passionate about your business or career, it becomes easier to work hard every day.
"A fun fact about us is that we chose to homeschool our 14-year-old son. Here are a few quotes that resonate with us: 'The world is not in your books and maps; it’s out there.' 'The best education you will ever get is traveling. Nothing teaches you more than exploring the world and accumulating experiences.'
"A special message for those with children: Over the past few years, my son heard me talk about my aspirations. About a year ago, he said, 'You always say you will do things and then you never do.' That moment inspired me to overcome my fears. Now, I see my son smile as I achieve new goals and hear him say, 'You sound so professional, Mama!' Don’t let fear hold you back – do the thing!"
