How Stormy Wellington Got Started in Network Marketing
Stormy Wellington had a tough upbringing. She grew up in a world of hustle, where her family was involved in the streets.
She did not have the typical childhood with family dinners or church on Sundays. Instead, she had to figure things out on her own.
At just 15, she became a mother. She had to work nights while taking care of her baby.
She even worked in strip clubs to survive. But when she had her second child, she knew she wanted a different life.
She got into real estate and even worked as a TSA agent. But she realized that if she stayed in the same cycle, she would never experience true success.
That was when she moved to Atlanta and got introduced to network marketing.
At first, she thought MLM was a scam. But one powerful pitch changed her mind.
A contractor who came to her home asked, “What if you could lose 10 dress sizes in 10 minutes without diet, exercise, or surgery?”
That got her attention. She joined her first MLM company selling garments and weight loss products.
Turning Point in the Business for Stormy Wellington
Stormy followed the traditional steps in MLM. She made a list of family and friends.
But they all discouraged her. They told her MLM was a waste of time.
That was when she decided to take a different approach. She created her own system.
She used the “Three-Foot Rule.” If someone was within three feet of her, she would start a conversation.
She talked to people at Target, Walmart, beauty salons, and daycares.
Instead of waiting for people to come to her, she went out and made things happen.
This strategy helped her grow her business fast.
Worst Moment in Network Marketing for Stormy Wellington
Stormy had two painful moments that almost made her quit.
The first was at a big meeting with 1,000 people. She borrowed a leader’s laptop to play a company video.
But instead of the opportunity video, a porn video started playing on the big screen.
Everyone was shocked, and people started calling her “Stormy the Porn Star.”
She was embarrassed, but she did not let it stop her.
The second tough moment was betrayal. She helped a team member make $4 million in two years.
But instead of gratitude, that person turned on her.
They created a “We Hate Stormy” campaign and tried to take her down.
It hurt deeply, but Stormy kept going.
She learned that the vision never changes, only the people do.
Biggest Lesson Stormy Wellington Learned

You do not build confidence by reading books or listening to audios. You build it by doing the work.

She learned to detach from the outcome. If someone said no, she moved on.
Her mindset became, “Whoever tells me no, I feel sorry for them.”
She knew she had something valuable, and she focused on finding the right people.
