“There were many times I wanted to give up because of my lack of confidence in my business skills. I now see that these ‘plot twists’ have prepared me to better care for and provide hope to my team and clients.”—Carolyn Rose Lange hasn’t struggled in some way or who isn’t currently dealing with some sort of storm. I believe this is why every person on our team is so passionate and compassionate. These storms help each of us become better equipped to serve people in all areas of life. I’m so proud of my team.” Carolyn’s husband, Jim, points out how qualified Carolyn is to help others through their storms as they learn to use essential oils and build their businesses. He remembers being at an event when one of Carolyn’s team members commented, with tears in her eyes, that Carolyn had changed her life by being there for her through difficulties, by being someone who can be counted on. Jim says, “I think that experience speaks volumes about Carolyn, her character, and what she’s all about.” Because of her own experiences, Carolyn can relate to her team and has created a culture of people who support one another and give back. When speaking about how unique her team is, Carolyn says, “Unity doesn’t have to mean uniformity. That has been a big lesson for me. We don’t all have to be the same or follow in the same footsteps. I’ve found that encouragement is the best thing to help your team.” Carolyn is the first to admit mistakes and share her own personal roadblocks with her team. She knows that sharing her personal experiences makes her team stronger and helps others deal with the challenges that life throws at them. She says, “Ultimately, we build up our dōTERRA businesses and each other by respecting differences, using our strengths, and having each other’s backs.” “A roadblock that has held me back is stinkin’ thinkin’—believing I’m not smart enough, not social media–savvy enough, or business-minded enough,” says Carolyn. This led her to an excessive workload that took a toll on her health and family. Today, she strives to live by the acronym GETMO: GOOD ENOUGH TO MOVE ON “I’m passionate about serving and giving hope to people; however, what I have come to realize is that prioritizing balance and rest is paramount to becoming the leader I was created to be.” The expectations Carolyn had for herself weren’t reasonable, so now, if something is good enough, she moves on.
