Strong women are often admired by society not only because of who they are in the present but because of what they have been through. Amber Lynn Iselt has seen the darkest chapters life has to offer. But she rose from her unfortunate circumstances and built the woman that she is today.

Amber Lynn Iselt was born in Lagrange, Texas. She was a small-town girl who was raised to value every dollar. Amber’s parents struggled financially to keep their family afloat. At 17 years old, Amber dropped out of school and ran away with her high school sweetheart. “I thought I was in love, and so I put him before my education,” Amber said. They got married when she was 18, and she had her son a year after. But it wasn’t a good relationship.

Amber Lynn Iselt described her past as a living nightmare. “I had a gun held to my head and was told I wouldn’t amount to anything,” she said. Amber was caught in many years of domestic abuse and suffered multiple miscarriages at the young age of 20. She even found herself hiding behind bushes, desperately trying to escape, on the night she went into labor for her daughter.

“There’s things that happened where I’ll never understand how I made it out alive other than it had to have been God protecting me. I’m no stranger to showing my faith in the Lord,” Amber recalled. By the grace of God, Amber got divorced. At 21 years old, she was left with two kids, no stable job, and unreliable credit. Amber hit rock bottom and felt like a failure as a mother. A lot of people criticized, laughed at, and judged her situation.

“I’ve been torn down in every way possible now for what I do for a living but I choose to use haters as a fuel,” said Amber. Coming from a small town, Amber was scrutinized for doing something outside of the “normal nine-to-five” lifestyle. Still, Amber firmly believes in her abilities, even when everyone around her is doubting what she can do.

In 2017, Amber Lynn Iselt decided that enough was enough. She stopped feeling sorry for herself. Instead of nurturing anger and hate toward those who looked down on her, Amber used their judgment to fuel her determination. At 23, she turned her life around through hard work and determination. Amber lived by her motto: “You’ll get out of life what you put in.” Being a firm believer in The Law of Attraction, Amber charged the energy and positivity she wanted to get from the rest of the world. In time, she did.

Amber Lynn Iselt has been passionate about online marketing for as long as she can remember. She was interested in various aspects of the industry, including multi-level marketing, dropshipping, coaching, etc. She used that interest to get back on her feet as a single mother. “I took what little money I had to start my own business online at home, all from my phone, and cleared six figures within eight months at age 23,” Amber said. She refused to give up and allow her past to define where she was going. Now, at 26 years old, Amber is running life at her own pace.

Reminiscing how she did it, Amber Lynn Iselt said that she had to step out of her comfort zone because she had two little kids relying on her. She pushed off the negative questions to the back of her mind and focused on how things could go right instead. “All I could think of is ‘What if I succeed?’ ‘What if this one decision changes everything?’ I said a prayer and went all in. God turned my scars into stars,” said Amber.

Amber Lynn Iselt spoke about her story at an entrepreneur event in Las Vegas in 2018. She aims to reach and motivate more people as a public speaker. “I’ve gone to the darkest, scariest places and because of that, I lift others up to the highest of places. If my past had gone the way I thought I wanted, I wouldn’t be as driven; I wouldn’t be as hungry,” Amber said.

Currently, Amber Lynn Iselt is in the process of writing a book based on her story and life experiences because she wants to amplify stories of women like her who have gone through domestic violence and suffering in life. Amber wants them to see a clear vision of a future where their environment and decisions are not shaped by other people’s beliefs.
