Creating this community came naturally to Delynn. For her, building strong relationships has always been at the heart of her dōTERRA business. “I have a ridiculous amount of positive energy,” says Delynn. “I’m always aware of this and use it to motivate others if they’re struggling.” The downside of this is that sometimes her belief in her leaders is greater than their desire to build. “You can’t believe in others so much that you build their business for them,” she says. Now she focuses instead on the people who are ready to do the work, because, as she says, “Where focus goes, energy flows.” When asked if there is anything she’d like to share with people who are building with dōTERRA, she advises, “Trust the process. Your timing is perfect and isn’t meant to be done in a way that’s inauthentic. Be you. You rock at it!” STRONGER AS A TEAM Delynn has learned a lot about how to use her strengths, as well as those of her leaders. These are her top insights into building a team of strong leaders: “I really had to hone in on leading with my strengths to move my team forward and tap into the next level of belief in this business.” “The sooner you assess the beliefs you hold about your team, and use your strengths to press forward, the more you’ll thrive. It didn’t take me long to accumulate volume; it did take me time to see how my beliefs were impacting my leadership style and relationships with my team.” “When I owned my strengths and took time to appreciate my leaders’ strengths, I started truly supporting them. When I stopped trying to push my strengths onto them, I came to understand and support my leaders in the long run.” Results not typical. Average earnings are less.
