PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Latetra Rorie to the 20/20 Club! Latetra is from Shelby, North Carolina and currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. She tells us, "I love traveling, spending time with my family, being by beautiful blue water, listening to music and dancing! I absolutely love being by the water. It’s so peaceful and calming, and there’s nothing like sitting near that beautiful blue water and just taking it all in. I also enjoy watching Marvel movies and shows related to emergency room life or anything suspense that keeps me on the edge of my seat.
"Traveling isn’t new to me. My granddaddy started me traveling at a young age. We were always on the road somewhere, and that’s where my love for seeing new places really began. Now, I’ve been blessed to visit some amazing destinations. Jamaica will always have my heart, but I’ve also traveled to Punta Cana, Cancun, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, and Las Vegas. I’ve cruised with both Virgin Voyages and Carnival, visiting Bimini Beach in the Bahamas and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic with Virgin Voyages.
"Owning my own travel business has opened so many doors. I’ve learned to embrace solo travel, and now I absolutely love it. Before, I didn’t see myself traveling alone, but now I enjoy taking solo trips and experiencing this beautiful world on my own. And now, I’m checking off my bucket list vacations. No longer just thinking or dreaming about them, I’m making them a reality. I’m so excited to be experiencing Bali next year for my birthday! I love learning about different cultures, tasting new foods, and seeing how people live in other parts of the world. Traveling truly opens your mind and gives you a whole new perspective on life. Once I started, it became an addiction in the best way.
"This business has been such a blessing. I started my journey on January 7, 2023, and honestly, I never imagined I’d be where I am today, less than two years later. As an introvert, I didn’t see myself being this open and vocal about a business, but this opportunity made it easy. Once I realized how powerful this business is and how it can truly change lives, I started getting out of my own way. Now, I talk about it all the time in person, on trips, and everywhere I go! I’ve experienced so much growth here, not just financially but personally. Being part of something this impactful and surrounded by so many amazing people has been life-changing. This business allowed me to supplement my income and earn commission on something I was already doing, traveling! And it’s opened the door for me to travel even more than before.
"I always tell people, just start. Don’t overthink it. Talk about your business everywhere you go, share your excitement, and let people see how it’s working for you. You never know who’s watching and who might be inspired to do the same. I love talking about this business because I know what it can do for others. Once you understand the power of it, you’ll want to share it too. If you’ve been thinking about it, do it. You won’t regret it.
"Fun fact: I’m a true introvert, but once I get comfortable, I can talk for days! 
Another fun fact is I used to bartend in my spare time, and I still love making fun mixed drinks."
