Chapter 1: Who is Stormy Wellington and what is her background?
Oh my God, first of all, I'm excited to be here talking about money, and I'm so grateful to be in the presence of someone that's not afraid to get straight to the money talk. So my name is Coach Stormy. Some days they call me Dr. Stormy. My wealth that I've acquired thus far mainly have come from the industry of network marketing, direct sales, the taboo industry.
I'm still in it, actively building. I've recruited over 14,000 people in my company, been there for 10 years. I've coached 139 first-generational millionaires. And after you become successful at something, maybe should be one thing at first. People want to know, what did you do? How did you do it? So I've created digital products. I've made a million dollars in a day with digital products.
I coached 139 first-generation millionaires, but they had to learn the right mindset of what to do, how to do it, system strategies. And so I do events. Doing the event called The Awakening, helping them to wake up their soul, their consciousness, have their conscious interruption that they could be, do, and have anything.
And I say that because there's a lot of people that don't believe that they could be, do, and have anything. And that used to be me until I started to believe in myself. Dropped out of school in the 10th grade, high school dropout, teenage mom, ex-stripper, ex-scammer, ex-everything. Now I'm an example that if I can do it, you can do it too.
I love it. So on the Money Mondays, we cover three core topics, how to make money, how to invest money, and how to donate to charity. So let's talk about the make money side. Talk to us, why do people have the theory that network marketing has something taboo about it when you've been able to empower so many women and men to make more money?

Chapter 2: What is network marketing and why is it considered taboo?
I think because they had not reconditioned their mind, they still believe that it's a pyramid scheme because there was a time where there were pyramid schemes, you know, and I think they just didn't separate the difference of what's happening. What's the difference between this pyramid scheme and network marketing? Pyramid schemes is when you pay for something and you get nothing in return.
That's just the bottom line. You give money with the promise of getting more money or you give money with the promise of something that is not tangible. And network marketing is physical products. It's services. It's products. Like I distribute detox teas, energy supplements, weight loss supplements, coffees. I've been doing it in my company now for over a decade. Wow.
I've made over $51 million in earned income in network marketing. And I pay taxes in network marketing. If it was a scam, you wouldn't be paying no IRS. So I pay taxes. And I just think that people just have poor information. And I think that right now, network marketing is one of the greatest ways to get started. Jim Rohn was a network marketer. Donald Trump was a network marketer.
So I think that people don't know what it is. If they knew what it was, it's affordable. I started in my company now with $1,500. My first two months, I made $135,000 cash. My first week, I made $50,000. Where can you start a business with $1,500 and make $50,000 in a week and not go to jail because you got caught with some drugs or something, right?
So I just think it's lack of understanding, poor examples. There's not enough of us speaking up about it more, and that's why I made a decision that it's my responsibility to speak up about it more because people should know about it. And then... A lot of people are not educated. They don't know business. In network marketing, you get a mentor, you get a coach. It's like a simple way to get rich.
So I just think poor information, and that's why I want to make sure that I spread the message because I know there's a lot of people out there, especially with the change in the economy right now, that's looking for something, and network marketing could be it.
So talk to the 18-year-old, Stormy. The 18-year-old Stormi, she's just getting out of high school. She's trying to figure out life. What would you do to help fast-forward her success and hold her back from some of the things that could hurt her along the way?

Chapter 3: How did Stormy Wellington overcome her past to become successful?
So, first of all, when I was 18, I'll tell you something that I know to be true to this day, and I'm 45. you become who you hang around. You become who you hang around. And some of us grew up in environments that we can't get out of. Like our moms and our dads pays the bills. So I grew up in an environment where all I saw, like all I saw was black people selling drugs
Stripping, scheming, scamming. I knew what a key of cocaine looked like before I was even 10. So I grew up in an environment of a fast-paced life. Nobody was investing in businesses or going to college. I dropped out of school in the 10th grade, and that wasn't like abnormal. That wasn't like I was the black sheep of the family. That was like she's doing what we do. They're not surprised.
So 18-year-old Stormi just didn't know that I had to change my circle, get around the right people that's not still, not still hating, not still broke, not still scared or afraid, but get around people that's moving. I didn't know that you could think and grow rich literally. I read that book at 18. I read Think and Grow Rich at 18 from cover to cover.
So if I had to go back and talk to 18-year-old Stormi, I would say keep going and keep growing. And to be mindful of the story that you tell yourself. Because, you know, I heard a story years ago that there was a drunk man that found out that his brother wasn't drunk. He was a drunk, just a drunk. But his brother wasn't a drunk. And they're like, okay, why are you an alcoholic?
Why are you a drunk? And he goes, because my father was a drunk. And then one that wasn't an alcoholic that didn't even know his brother was a drunk because he became a strange. Why are you not alcoholic? Because my father was one.
Wow.
So it's basically, you know, you decide what to do with the story, you know, so 18 year old stormy, keep going, keep growing and be careful of the story you tell yourself.
So in network marketing, just like almost all industries, there's some people that make zero money, a little bit of money, medium money. And then there's some people that are shining stars like you talk us through what can someone do to stand out from the crowd and go make real money in their industry?
So first of all, I just left a speaking engagement and I showed up just like this. And it's funny because I talked about you today. I was telling them how I was around some very successful people, Dan Fleshman. I was just telling them about my environments and y'all dressed like this. um, like this.

Chapter 4: What strategies does Stormy use to stand out in network marketing?
So in network marketing or any business, it's so many people doing what you're doing. I mean, I don't care what you may be doing that you think you're the only one. There's lots of people doing what you're doing. I think, number one, be disruptive. Find a way to disrupt your market. I don't care what you do.
It may be something that you may be embarrassed to do, something that may not be normal for you, but do something in your industry that makes people want to know who the hell is that. Like Grant Cardone specializes in that. He loves when you talk shit about him. Like, you don't care. He is disruptive. And look at where he is now. So I was disruptive in network marketing.
I was the first one to not wear suits to the meeting. I was the first one to show a little cleavage. I didn't know women had cleavage in network marketing. Everybody was suited and booted and especially the companies that I was in. I didn't see sexy. You could be in weight loss and I didn't see sexy. You could be in a business that sells transformation and you still fat.
So I think that you got to be disruptive. That's one thing that separates me. mentors, coaches. I just told a woman today, she worked for the government for 36 years. They basically told her, basically resign now, four years before your retirement, take the $25,000 or if we fire you, you don't get no pension. You just kind of go crazy.
And I said to her something very special that I'll tell you all today. I said, you've been doing that for 36 years. You're going to wake up one day within the next week and ask yourself, who the hell am I? You're not going to know what to do because you've been doing this for 36 years. So in order for you to change, I said, no disrespect, and I'm not trying to speak nothing negative to your life.
I'm actually telling you, be grateful for our relationship because you're going to need help. A mentor, a book, a coach, somebody's going to have to help you to have a new life. So in network marketing, go find the successful person in your company, even if you can't meet them, even if you can't talk to them, because in network marketing or most businesses, it's earned.
I wouldn't be sitting next to you if I just knew how to take cute pictures and was an influencer. No, I earned the right to sit next to you. So in network marketing and in most businesses, I think we forget that. In network marketing especially, everything is to be earned. You have to earn respect. You have to earn respect. So in network marketing, what I also love is that success leave clues.
Every top earner has videos, CDs, YouTube videos, events, because you're never going to be successful for a long time if you don't leave behind things for duplication.
So also on the make money side, and let's call it network marketing space, they're hosting events, sometimes at their house, sometimes at a local ballroom, they're posting on social media, they're going to speak at events. How do they wake up in the morning and get excited to make sure they can push through to stand out from the crowd?

Chapter 5: How does Stormy Wellington structure her daily routine for success?
So as an entrepreneur, as a network marketer, anybody, I don't care who you are, if you want to change your life, you have to find what is that winning formula and you have to consistently be a representation of it every single day. Like, I don't care how you feel. Success is not about what you feel like.
I wake up every single morning, Dan, I could be sad, mad, depressed, and I tell myself, get your ass up. Yep. How do you feel today? Oh, you feel bad? Oh, well, too bad, too bad for you. You still got to get up.
And those are the days that I feel even more powerful because that's when you break through, when you make yourself do the thing that you know that you have to do to get to where it is that you desire to get to. So I think that when you have that burning desire and you come up with a formula. So I wake up like really the same time every day. I wake up about 6 a.m. I have full custody of my son.
I won that custody battle, thank God. I ask myself, how am I doing every morning? I check in, okay, God, thank you for waking me up, all that. And I go to Instagram quick, I'm not gonna lie. I go to Coinbase and I go to Instagram. And then I go to my email sometimes, right? And then I go in there with my son and I mess with him.
I have him reading the Bible now every morning because I want him to learn the word. So we go through our mornings, we hug, we pray, we go through the Bible. I help him to get ready. And then I take supplements. I take supplements. I realize that the foods that we eat is not like the foods we used to eat back in the days. So I find nourishment. I take my NutriBurst. I take my NRG.
I drink my coffee. And I'm a meditator. I meditate every single day. I meditate in the back of my car sometimes. I meditate with hundreds of women every morning, Monday through Saturday. So every morning you have to make a decision to wake your warrior up, regardless of how you feel. And now when people used to text me, good morning, Rich Rising. You know what I text people back in the mornings?
God morning. Give yourself a God morning every day because how you feel in the morning, it has a lot to do with how you start to feel throughout the day. If you have a low vibrational morning, you will have a low vibrational day. So it's about just being consistent and finding that formula that you can stay committed to beyond your comfort zone to get the results.
So now on the investing side, so you've been making money, you're building your business, you're building a career, people start making money, so they start making a couple hundred thousand dollars, like okay, I want to actually start investing in some things. How do you decide what to invest into when you've got so many options?
Cryptocurrency, real estate, investments, your friend's hair salon, your friend's restaurant, your friend's business, your friend's clothing line, how do you decide when it's time to actually start throwing some money into other things outside of your core business?

Chapter 6: How does Stormy decide where to invest her money?
Like my money to you is like probably play money, right? I know it's play money. But there's someone that's going to watch this and they're going to say, oh, my God, if I could make $100,000 a month one day. That would be everything. And then you make $100,000 a month and you realize... The goalpost moves. $500,000 a month. Then a million a month. But then one day you're like...
Is it really the money or is it the relationships? Is it the freedom? Is it the people I get to serve and how I get to love? And you realize it's not so much about the number, but the relationships and the things you get to do. So My Girl, Hold My Hand Foundation, like I'm so looking forward to Stormy Wellington Day this year to see the seniors.
My mom passed away, so I don't have a mom anymore, fleshly mom, a spiritual mom. And so like giving back, being around love nowadays and not having to worry about money because I diversified. Like not one person can scare me anymore because my money doesn't come from one person. That's a big story. That's deep what I just said.
I used to be afraid of certain things because if I pissed this person off or pissed that off, my money may dry up. Now I was like, sure, whatever you say. Because I've diversified. I'm giving back. I feel like I'm in a perfect place in my life.
So on the investing side, outside of the capital, what about investing into yourself? Investing into your mind, investing into your body, investing into your health. Talk to us about investing into yourself.
Man, first of all, the greatest investment you can make is in yourself. Without you, what is anything? So I believe investing in yourself, it comes from various different ways. I just told a group of entrepreneurs today, I believe that every single day you should have five wins. You should have a spiritual win, a physical win, a relationship win, a mental win, and a financial win every single day.
So I've invested financially, in my mind, millions of dollars. Like, Every time I look around and I think about who I've become, it's because of the investments that I made in myself. The books I've read, the audio books I've listened to, the people I've been around, the conversations I've been privy to, everything, because I invested to get in the right rooms.
Today, I cried on the phone with one of my friends and one of my mentors. We both had two different conversations about the same thing. The Stormy Wellington that I used to be, would have never paid $5,000 to go to an event. That's stupid. I could have bought some shoes.
I could have paid a bill because I didn't have the mindset to understand if I'm paying $5,000 to be in a room, that means I'm in a room with other people that got $5,000 plus the mentality. I didn't understand that I could be calm. I didn't know any of that. Somebody gifted me my first ticket to go to a person, David Sharp. I don't know if you know David Sharp.
