ALONG FOR THE RIDE
“I try to welcome failures and setbacks. I view them as opportunities to step back and think,
What can I learn from this? How can I refine my communication and my techniques to be a better leader?”
Those who know and work with
Katchie value her creativity,
passion, and authenticity, which she
has developed from years of teaching
yoga. She also instills in her team the
importance of these attributes when
building a dōTERRA ® business. She
says, “I encourage them to find their
most authentic way of sharing the oils
and practices that are helpful to them
and their families.” It’s important to
Katchie for her and her team to be
genuine and true to themselves in
every situation.
Despite having years of building her
business under her belt, Katchie still
finds herself getting nervous before
teaching a class or talking to a stranger
about essential oils. She says, “I still
feel out of my comfort zone on a
regular basis—it’s part of the necessary
stretching that occurs when we push
ourselves. I continue teaching and
sharing the oils because of my deep
belief that anything worth pursuing
can and will take you to your limit at
times. The first step is to breathe and
normalize the discomfort.”
Katchie dissolves self-doubt by
welcoming discomfort. “Doubt can
really freeze you out for a long time.
The antidote to doubt is having a good
teacher, which for us is having a good
upline.” Just as she relies on her upline
in times of struggle, she encourages
her team to rely on her.
Katchie has gotten to where she is
today with patience and consistency.
She says, “Sometimes, we have
expectations that something should
be moving forward in a linear way. We
think that it’ll just get bigger and better
and grander every day, but that’s not
how it works. You go one step forward
and sometimes two steps back. That’s
something I really needed to learn.
Many people experience failure, or
something breaks down, and then they
lose faith. But it’s part of the journey to
be patient with that backlash because
the next step forward will come, as it
always does.”
Katchie’s genuine desire to better
herself and the lives of others has
proven to be the secret sauce that
has brought so much success. She
says, “My Why is to help people. It’s
always been that. I ask myself, ‘How
can I help people live better lives?’ It’s
not necessarily better in any material
way, but better in that they’re at peace
within themselves.”
KATCHIE’S TIPS for addressing concerns about Network Marketing:
1.
Be transparent. Address concerns
and questions with a level of
authenticity and honesty right
from the start.
2.
Assure them that dōTERRA is
different, that the company listens
and takes concerns and critiques
to heart.
3.
Show them how you’re different
from other companies through your
kindness, passion, and devotion to
what you’re sharing.
