PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Janine Hopkins to the 20/20 Club! Janine tells us, "I’m based in Stevenage in Hertfordshire in the UK. My biggest passion has always been travel—it’s something I’ve loved for as long as I can remember. Alongside that, I’m very family-oriented. I’m a proud mum to three amazing young men and a nan to three beautiful grandchildren, so spending quality time with them means everything to me. I also really enjoy personal growth and helping others succeed. I also love to watch my youngest son (nearly 21) play semi professional football when I can.
"Travel has always been a huge part of my life. We have been very lucky to go to some beautiful destinations worldwide: Mauritius, Cuba, Mexico and Cyprus, to name a few. Whether it’s relaxing getaways or exploring new places, I love creating memories and experiencing different cultures. What’s even more special now is being able to combine that passion with my business—travelling while earning and helping others do the same.
"Consistency and mindset have been everything for me. I started this business two years ago alongside a very demanding full-time NHS job, so I had to be disciplined with my time and show up daily.
"Some key things that have helped me:
- Being consistent, even on the days I didn’t feel like it
- Staying coachable and plugging into training
- Building genuine relationships rather than just 'selling'
- Sharing my journey honestly so people can relate
- Taking action quickly and not overthinking
"I also discovered very early on that I love mentoring and coaching others, and that’s been a huge part of my growth and literally fills my heart.
"When I started, I didn’t treat it like a hobby—I treated it like a business from day one. Even though I began just to earn from my own travel, attending my first event in London a week later completely changed my mindset. From that moment, I saw the bigger picture. I stayed focused, followed the system, took consistent action, and really leaned into helping others succeed. That’s what helped me grow my team to 20 people in just two years.
"A fun fact about me is that after spending over 20 years in banking and then being made redundant in 2016 without a plan B, I completely rebuilt myself—and now I’m building a business that’s creating a whole new legacy for my family. I am also an animal lover and known for my talking to all animals; people call me Mrs Dolittle.
"My “why” is deeply rooted in giving my children, grandchildren, and future generations the freedom of time and finances, so they can truly live life on their terms."
