Lynzee Abel was a wide eyed, optimistic person who just wanted more for her life when she was first introduced to Multi Level Marketing in her teens. With her professional retail experience, she thought she could have an edge in the competitive industry.

Lindsay Abel and welcome her to the podcast please introduce yourself and tell

1:02.1

us a little bit about who you are and what you do and what your life was like before you knew what MLMs were.

1:10.0

Okay, so I guess the biggest thing before I got started with MLMs, which I was pretty young when I got started, I was like 19, I think, when I joined my first MLM, it was really that I didn't realize that they were all bad.

1:29.4

I saw it as, well, I have this great great product so this isn't a scam right?

1:35.0

But I worked retail I went to college I had to take care of myself I had to completely independent. My dad passed away when I was 18. And so I worked retail. So then jumping into MLMs and all of that and the sales aspect I was already familiar with. So I was a retail manager and then when I got sick of that eventually I was actually in real estate for a few years and I realized I hated that. I have two sons. There are five and almost nine, which I know we've talked, you know, that plays a lot into getting involved in all of this
