2.​‌ ‌How‌ ‌have‌ ‌you‌ ‌grown‌ ‌or‌ ‌personally‌ ‌developed‌ ‌since‌ ‌joining‌ ‌PlanNet?‌ ‌
Being a part of PlanNet Marketing has taught us how to move out of our own way and remove all the negative people who come disguised as friends.

3​.‌ ‌What‌ ‌drives‌ ‌you​;​‌ ‌what‌ ‌motivates‌ ‌you?‌
We are driven to help others win in life. The families who have partnered with us motivate us to keep going.

4.‌ ‌Who‌ ‌would‌ ‌you‌ ‌consider​‌ ‌a​‌ ‌role‌ ‌model‌ ‌and‌ ‌why?‌ ‌
Wilie's role models growing up were Malcom X and Dr. Martin Luther King because no matter how much anyone tried to break their spirit, they never stopped fighting for others. My role model is my mother, Gwendolyn. She taught us how to see people as individuals and never judge anyone.

5.‌ ‌The‌ ‌three‌ ‌words‌ ‌that‌ ‌describe‌ ‌me​‌ ‌best​‌ ‌are​:‌ ‌
Three words that describe us: Willie is humble, relentless and focused. Cordella is confident, persistent and humble.

The advice we would give is to find out what it is in life you want and fight like hell for it, and never stop being open to learning. Always be a sponge in the room. 

7.‌ ‌What ‌does‌ ‌your‌ ‌life‌ ‌look‌ ‌like‌ ‌five‌ ‌years‌ ‌from‌ ‌now?‌ ‌
In five years, we will be one of the millionaires on Mr. Bradley's plaque along with whoever desires to hold on to us and run with us.
