NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND

EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CAN
Feeling Whole and Content
For Carol, it was a challenge to go
from a successful corporate and
governmental career to a stay-athome
parent. “Being a full-time mother
comes with its own set of joys, but over
time I felt I’d lost myself somehow,” she
says. “Of course, I wanted to put my
children and husband first. However,
I knew I had so much still to offer that
I wasn’t doing.” Whether that was
something part-time or a weekly job
share, Carol deeply wanted to give back
with her talents and skills. “I wanted
something that made me feel whole,
something I could do that would let
me sleep at night knowing I’d made
a difference in the world in a positive
way. I wanted to help more people in a
personal, impactful way.”
That chance to do more came naturally
through the dōTERRA ® business
opportunity. After years of being a
loyal customer, Carol discovered the
business side. As she explored her
passion for essential oils with friends
and acquaintances, her team quickly
grew. She knew this business was what
she had been searching for, with its
structure, emphasis on empowerment,
and mission to help others on the
journey to financial freedom and
wellness. “I put in the work, sharing
passion from the heart, and the results
followed. It’s a labor of love and service
to others.”
But it wasn’t all easy, and Carol had
to deal with a lot of trial and error.
“There’s rarely a perfect upline. This
forced me to learn much of the
business on my own and ask a lot
of questions. I had to build and find
creative answers to problems.” In the
long run, this taught Carol several
important lessons, especially about
how she approaches her downline:
“What have my experiences taught me?
A leader must be reliable, responsive,
and supportive to be effective. And
though the structure is set up the way
it is, you really do hold your future
in your own hands—you build your
business the way you want and at your
own pace and style. The beauty of this
business is having the flexibility to go
hard when you want or need and make
it your own.”
The freedom, self-care and
empowerment, and drive Carol has
experienced with dōTERRA makes all
the difference in the world to her. “Who
doesn’t want to have a positive impact
on the well-being of their loved ones,
while also receiving financial freedom
by sharing what you already live? My
journey with this wonderful company
has been exactly what I needed in so
many ways. In less than two years as
a builder I became a Diamond, with a
fantastic team of builders and an even
larger group of people who simply love
the oils, all spread across the world.
But I’m not done yet.” Carol loves her
life and her team and still has a lot
more to offer.
“The basis of the business as a builder is your personal passion for the
oils and the products. It’s never a sale. Instead, it’s a natural share with
others, which makes for an organic, wholesome build.” —Carol Tan
