NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS

Alan & Cheryl Waelbroeck

BRAZIL , INDIANA , USA

In Spite of Challenge

“ Getting to Diamond is worth it because the journey itself is good . You are improving yourself as you go , you are making more friendships , and you are making more connections . Your life improves as your business improves .”

When Cheryl Waelbroeck was given an AromaTouch ® Technique by a friend , it was lifechanging for her . In fact , she felt so good afterward that she called her husband , Alan , and told him all about the oils . At the time , Cheryl was a registered nurse working in conditions that were detrimental to her physical health , and she had been praying for an opportunity to leave that job . When dōTERRA came along , she says , “ I knew from the beginning that I was not only going to use dōTERRA , but I was going to share dōTERRA as a business .” It was an answer to prayer .

Alan was very supportive of Cheryl ’ s business endeavor , but he thought the oils were more psychological than anything . He says , “ It took me several months of listening to her talk to people and help them find solutions before I started to be more open to the oils and the possibility that they actually might do something . I saw people have good results with the oils again and again , and I eventually came around .” Now , they continue to grow the business together and utilize each other ’ s strengths to sustain its growth .
Though Alan and Cheryl have had success in their business , their journey has not been easy . They faced many physical and financial setbacks that had the potential to stop them , but through it all they never quit . Instead of becoming wrapped up in their own challenges , they put their focus on their team and helping others , which pushed them to move past difficult times .
Cheryl says , “ It is important not to let everyday life interfere with your goals and to have a big enough Why when those challenges come .” This has also been true for Alan . He adds , “ You have to focus on what you really want . When struggles come up , you have to deal with those struggles , but not focus on them as if they were permanent . Every struggle is temporary .”
Despite the many challenges they have faced , they know they are where they need to be . They have seen tremendous growth in themselves and have become more financially stable . Alan says , “ This experience has been a very positive one for us — from the products that have helped us , to the relationships we have developed , and finally , to the business we have grown and learned through . I would encourage anybody who is out there and wondering about it to jump in with both feet .”
