PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Debbie Okoro to the 20/20 Club! Debbie tells us, "Music and writing are my lifelong passions. I am a writer by profession and recently published my third book this past December, born out of my pain of suffering with fertility for eight years. My creative roots go deep—I wrote my first song at age 10 and grew up performing on stages before thousands in Nigeria alongside my father, who was a singer-songwriter.
"My journey with travel is unique; I didn't take my first flight until I was 25, but I’ve been making up for lost time ever since! My career began at the iconic Dorchester Hotel in London as an Accounts Assistant. Today, I’m a seasoned traveler who has explored nearly every continent. I average four holidays a year, and thanks to PlanNet Marketing, that number continues to grow.
"I believe my professional background—having trained as an accountant and currently working in taxes—gives me a disciplined, detail-oriented edge. Growing up as one of 11 children, I also understand the power of community and connection.
"I achieve success by staying consistent and treating my business with the same professional rigor I apply to my career. Also, my resilience came from the period of my life where I've had to wait for children and for me say no is just as not a reason to keep going.
"My tip for others: Your professional skills are transferable! Whether you are an accountant, a writer, or a parent, use your unique background to connect with people. Be consistent, stay coachable, and don't be afraid to share your story.
"Some fun facts about myself: I spent my childhood traveling for musical 'crusades' in Nigeria, singing on stage in front of massive crowds. No holiday is complete without a gym; if there's no gym on the resort, I am not going. I'm one of those who will always run or work out while I'm on holiday, it doesn't matter where I am. It's going to happen. I’ve always been at home in front of a lens or a microphone, which makes sharing the PlanNet opportunity feel like a natural extension of my life's work!"
