This is Lindsey Stewart Wynia. She will be speaking at our company event in Nashville and her story inspires me so much!!! Lindsey was living paycheck to paycheck as a pizza shop owner and mom of 5. Now she is millionaire #265 in the lineup of millionaires in our company!... Our company is on a mission to free people from physical and financial pain while creating the most 6 and 7 figure income earners. They take that mission very seriously. They not only believe in physical freedom for all but financial freedom for anyone who wants it, as well. Here’s what Lindsey had to say: A few years ago, I made a decision! It was a random decision, the kind you make any day of the week. I decided to try a nutrition system. I wasn’t even that committed, I felt like I was doing a favor for a friend. Definitely not a life changing decision. FLASH FORWARD My mind, heart and body were transformed. The nutrition that went into my body started to bless it in unmeasurable ways. I wanted to share what I knew with everyone I met. I wanted to give people hope for happier days where they woke up feeling amazing and went to bed and slept peacefully. I wanted to give people the ability to show up in the world in a completely different capacity. When you feel better, you do better! I partnered with a company that aims to be the GOLD STANDARD of health and wellness. The most trusted and recognized health and wellness company in the world. I enlisted myself, and anyone who became a raving fan, like myself, to be a life changer for others. In the meantime, I built a residual income that would shock you, and have the deepest, richest friendships. I am honored to be partnered with a company that holds the highest level of service and commitment to the world to changing the world as we know it! My passion and purpose has never been more clear. **Earning levels for Isagenix Independent Associates should not be construed as typical or average.
