PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Monica Callis to the 20/20 Club! She tells us, "I am Monica Callis and if you have not heard of me yet, give it time. I am a Broker/Owner, entrepreneur, and travel business builder based in Manvel, Texas, right outside Houston. I hold an MBA in Finance and run three companies at once. Not because I had to but because I was built for it.
"When I am not closing deals or building my team, you will find me on a Pilates mat, on a golf course, deep in a book, or somewhere in the world reminding myself why I do this. I have stood in the middle of Thailand and felt the world get bigger. I have watched the sun melt into the turquoise water in Turks and Caicos and understood exactly why people spend their whole lives chasing moments like that. Experiencing the world does not just feed my soul, it makes me better at everything I do, including selling the dream to my clients.
"Here is what my journey with PlanNet actually looked like. I joined, got pulled right back into my other businesses, did not start building my team right away, paused, started again, and still built a team of 20. Of course I am not done yet. That is not a perfect execution story but it’s not a quitting story. And those are the only stories worth telling.
"What finally worked was treating it like the real business it is. I hosted live events alongside my Director, Trish Woodley, who is constantly pushing and encouraging me. I built systems, and leveraged relationships I had spent years earning in real estate, tax preparation, and my community. The people who joined my team can already see the fruit I bear so I just had to show them the opportunity.
"My biggest tip: Stop waiting until you feel ready. I was not ready. I was busy, stretched thin, and figuring it out in real time. Proverbs 31 did not describe a woman who had it all together. It described a woman who kept working. That is the standard I hold myself to every single day.
"Fun fact: I got into real estate on a bet. People said I wouldn’t last in that Industry. I earned Rookie of the Year within my first three months. And if you are ever foolish enough to doubt me out loud, just know I will find out. And I will prove you wrong.
"I am a woman of faith first, a builder second, and everything else follows from there."
