PlanNet Marketing is pleased to welcome Natalie Barlow to the 20/20 Club! Natalie says, "Hi! I'm from Kettering, Northamptonshire, England. I'm married, have two grown-up children at home and who I’m very proud of and both are in the business, and I'm also the proud owner of four horses and a shetland, so life is always busy. Alongside PlanNet Marketing, I also own a mortgage and insurance brokerage and Estate Planning business, so I've spent over 28 years helping people plan for their futures.
"Travel has always been something I love. Whether it's exploring cities, relaxing on the beach, skiing in the mountains or making memories with my family, I believe experiences are one of the best investments we can make. Being able to build a business around something I'm genuinely passionate about has made this journey even more rewarding. This business allowed me to get to Bali last year for my 50th birthday which I don’t think I would have done otherwise!
"People often ask how I reached the 20/20 Club while already running multiple businesses. The truth is, I didn't wait until I had more time—I decided to become more intentional with the time I already had. Consistency has been everything. I focus on speaking to new people every day, building genuine relationships, following up, attending networking events, staying coachable and plugging into the amazing support and training our team provides.
"One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that success doesn't come from knowing hundreds of people—it comes from consistently meeting new ones and reconnecting with old ones. Every conversation is an opportunity, and every 'no' simply gets you closer to the next 'yes.'
"My advice to anyone starting their PlanNet journey is simple: trust the process, stay consistent, don't compare your chapter one to someone else's chapter twenty, and keep showing up. Small daily actions really do create extraordinary results over time.
"A fun fact about me? If I'm not working, you'll probably find me at the gym, riding or showjumping one of my horses, or planning my next adventure. I love challenging myself, stepping outside my comfort zone and helping others realise they can create opportunities they never thought possible.
"I'm incredibly grateful for this recognition and excited to see where this journey takes me next. Here's to helping even more people create the freedom to travel more, earn more and live life on their own terms."
