Marlyn Cedeño, Director at LiveWave, embodies the fusion of military discipline and entrepreneurial vision. Her transition from the ranks of the army to network marketing is more than just a story of reinvention: it is a testament to how financial freedom and family legacy can become the driving forces of life. “We are here to evolve,” she asserts and her journey proves it: a path where every step has been a conscious choice toward transcendence. This is her story:
Roots of a Visionary
Before discovering network marketing, Marlyn had already shaped her character across diverse fields: a retired military officer, businesswoman, educator and coach specializing in expectant mothers. Her initial calling as an educator and mentor laid the foundation for what would become her professional career.
In 2012, Marlyn took her first step into the industry, drawn to a model that democratizes opportunities: “Regardless of age or education, anyone can grow.”
But it was her “defining moment” that set her course: realizing that network marketing would provide her with financial freedom and the time to dedicate to her greatest motivation: her son. “He is my ‘why’: I want him to see entrepreneurship as a path of purpose,” she explains.
Her first challenge was working with people of different ages, cultures and personalities, as well as facing constant rejection. “Learning to accept many ‘no’s’ was crucial,” she admits. Along the way, her mother’s support became her anchor, contrasting with the skepticism of professional friends unfamiliar with the industry’s potential.
A Philosophy of Leadership
Marlyn leads with a style rooted in discipline, assertive communication and teamwork. Her core values: love, gratitude and honesty: stem from her family heritage. She draws inspiration from figures like Jesus, whom she considers “the first network marketer,” and industry expert Eric Worre.
For her, success is measured by the autonomy of her team. She also rejects the concept of failure: “They are experiences that teach.” Her greatest lesson has been carefully choosing her allies, linking personal evolution with collective impact.
In less than two months, Marlyn has built a team of over 30 people across the U.S., Europe and Latin America. She seeks to recruit individuals who share her vision: “People willing to learn, grow and, most importantly, evolve.” Her goal is not just to climb ranks but to cultivate a culture of empowerment.
The Future: Transcendence, Her Greatest Dream
Marlyn envisions expanding her team at LiveWave while strengthening her parallel project as a coach for expectant mothers. Yet, her personal priority remains clear: “Being present for my son’s growth and showing him that success is built with purpose.”
The legacy Marlyn aspires to leave is a firm belief: “Opportunities exist and they can be achieved.” While she considers herself still in the process of fulfilling her dreams, her story is already an inspiration.
