The Leadership Spotlight Shines On: Ellie Grant


1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family hobbies; past business highlights.
Born and raised in London, now living in Essex. Fitness is a huge part of my life and I actually swam at national level growing up, so discipline and pushing through hard things has always been in my DNA!

2.​ How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
Honestly the biggest transformation has been my confidence. I joined with crippling social anxiety; I could not speak in a room full of strangers, could not show my face on camera and could not sell myself or anything else. This business has completely rebuilt me from the inside out. I am unrecognisable compared to who I was two and a half years ago.

3​. What drives you​;​ what motivates you?
I refuse to live a life that looks like everyone else’s. The idea of the same routine, the same Monday to Friday until I am 65 genuinely terrifies me more than any risk I have ever taken. That fear of ordinary is what gets me up every single day!

4. Who would you consider​ a​ role model and why?
My mum. Not because her life has been easy but because of everything she has been through and how she has handled it. She has shown me what real strength looks like without ever asking for recognition. Watching her has taught me more about resilience than anything else ever could.

5. The three words that describe me​ best​ are​:  
Passionate. Determined. Relentless.

6​.​ If you had​ some sound advice to give​ to anyone​ what would​‌ ​it be? 
Say yes before you are ready. Confidence does not come before the doing, it comes because of it. Every single thing that has changed my life has started with a decision I made before I felt ready.

7.  What does your life look like five years from now?
Complete financial freedom, travelling wherever I want whenever I want and leading a community of women who chose to build something of their own, too.
