Congratulations to Natalie Graham for Achieving the 100 Century Club!
1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family hobbies; past business highlights.
I was born and raised in Kansas City (Go Chiefs)!! I am a wife and mother of two beautiful teenagers with one bonus daughter. Our favorite thing to do together as a family is travel and try new restaurants. My background is in visual arts; I absolutely love photography and videography and it's one of my additional streams of income.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I have personally developed in SO MANY ways due to the PlanNet Marketing leadership. I have developed into someone who understands money, wealth, and the importance of wealth building. Being under this leadership gave me that AUDACITY to chase my dreams and to build the life I desire. I am forever grateful for this company – it woke up a sleeping beast inside of me!
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
I would say the fear of LACK is what drives me. I didn't grow up around money. I never knew that I TOO could have all the things I desired in life. Knowing what I know now about wealth building, nothing is out of reach. I now have the understanding that I can have whatever I want – I just have to put my feet to my faith AND WORK FOR IT. My motivation is my children. I look at them and think "how DARE I not give them the life they deserve." And THAT is what motivates me to keep moving forward.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
Jay Z is my role model. Not only are we both artistic Sagittariuses, we both have innovative thinking. I love how far ahead his visions are. He's a problem solver. He uses his platform to not only speak on social/economic issues, but he has teams of people to help him carry out his vision. He has legal teams that specifically target cases of police brutality against minorities, he has teams that negotiate unfair contractual agreements for artists who aren't even attached to him (most of the time he buys them out of those agreements and grants that artist more freedom with his label), he has teams of people who invest in small black-owned businesses, AND SO MUCH MORE. I love how he plays A LOT of background roles to help other people gain success. He's a true freedom fighter and business mogul – and I guess it also helps that he's my favorite rapper. Ha ha!
5. The three words that describe me best are:
Ambitious, Bold and Humble.
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
BE AUTHENTICALLY YOU. ESPECIALLY in network marketing. Don't catch up with the world – let the world catch up with YOU.
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now, I am a MILLIONAIRE with PlanNet Marketing and I've helped my son finish college with no student loan debt. I've helped my siblings secure financial freedom by investing in their passions. I've made sure my mother is set as she ages. I have ensured my youngest son, who's also autistic and a type 1 diabetic, has every tool and resource available to him to have a healthy life. I have the home of my dreams, the car of my dreams, and I am living pretty low-key – yet still helping THOUSANDS of families do the same.
