Cindy Brown ’ s nephew , Matthew

Hall , asked her if she had heard about essential oils . Her response was an enthusiastic , “ Yes , I love essential oils !” Cindy ’ s excitement stemmed from her experience with two oils that she had used on her family for almost 20 years . When her nephew handed her an open bottle of Peppermint oil from dōTERRA , her airways cleared , her senses came alive , and she knew that there was something extraordinary about the oil .
Cindy loved using dōTERRA essential oils and was fully on board with the business aspect of sharing . However , as a person who puts a lot on her plate , it was six months before she enrolled , and then another six months before she held her first essential oils class . Cindy ’ s sister-inlaw , Suzanne , became her mentor . When Cindy began sharing , fears came up . Suzanne would say , “ Take courage , Cindy , take courage .” Cindy learned the power of shifting her beliefs and perceptions .
Because of Cindy ’ s growth during those formative months , she began to experience a profound life change . She says , “ When you feel like someone has your back , you have the courage to grow , and doing things that would ordinarily be impossible , become possible .”
The driving motivation in her business is to believe in others so that they too can achieve their dreams . Cindy says , “ It is my heart ’ s mission to help those who don ’ t believe in themselves yet . If they ’ re wanting to have a more fulfilled life , and they ’ re willing to do the personal work to shift their mindset and ‘ take courage ’ to change , I want to invest in them .”
Another of Cindy ’ s motivating beliefs is service . She says , “ With dōTERRA , I wake up every day and strive to become a strong servant leader . I ask myself the question , ‘ Who can I serve today ?’ I seek out people who are searching for wellness .” Cindy ’ s ability to put others before herself allows her to feel a greater connection to her work , and gives her the perspective to genuinely look for the needs of others .
Having worked for 15 years as a professional photographer while raising a large family of her own , Cindy appreciated the full vision of dōTERRA . She was keenly aware of the hours and challenges that it took to build and maintain a successful photography business while tending to the needs of her family . At 51 , she never thought she would be looking at another career until she began to share the oils . She soon realized that this was an opportunity to bring others financial health as well as physical and emotional health . She says , “ I honestly believe dōTERRA ’ s direct sales plan is inspired . It helps us become the best version of ourselves . It compels us to help everyone around us become successful in every aspect of their lives .”
Cindy ’ s husband , Don , has been a strong believer in her . He encourages her on the journey , and he contributes to the success of their business . Cindy says , “ My husband has recently joined in , helping me strategize the business building . He helps many people reach their Power of 3 bonus . It is wonderful to have his full support and an extra set of eyes to catch the details . The day we can retire Don from his job , which demands a lot of travel and time away from home , is on the horizon , and it is just a part of the impetus for continuing to move forward .”
Cindy ’ s path to Diamond opened her to a great self-discovery that extends past the physical rewards . She says , “ Building dōTERRA allowed me to face my own fears , take courage , and overcome many of my personal weaknesses . I knew that if I totally committed and became teachable and coachable , I ’ d be able to hit Diamond and beyond . I have already become a much better version of myself . I love the people around me with a much greater depth . Apart from my family , there is truly nothing greater in my life than what dōTERRA has given me . It has allowed an opening of self-discovery and empowerment that I want every person to be able to experience .”
