NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS

Brian & Beth Skaug

BEND , OREGON , USA

Having worked in the medical field for 19 years , Beth Skaug was skeptical of natural health solutions before she experienced dōTERRA . When a friend introduced her to dōTERRA essential oils , however , Beth couldn ’ t deny the experience she had . She used the oils for herself and her son , who had been struggling with ongoing health issues , and was amazed at the results . Within a few weeks , Beth could see that the oils were supporting her family ’ s health in incredible ways . She says , “ We ’ re really not sure where we ’ d be if it weren ’ t for dōTERRA .”

Now , Beth ’ s entire family uses and loves dōTERRA products . Her husband , Brian , became a believer after using dōTERRA Deep Blue ® , and their three children love using and sharing the products as well . Brian also helps Beth with the business — organizing class preparation , helping her teach classes , and taking care of their three busy kids .
With the demands of building a business , Beth has found it essential to prioritize her family , but she knows that every goal comes with sacrifices . She says , “ My faith and family will always come first ; however , I will admit that my family took a backburner during different seasons of my business . The many sacrifices have been worth it , so I keep pushing forward .” In addition to using dōTERRA to support her family ’ s physical and emotional wellbeing , Beth is eager to share with others . She explains , “ I want to educate and empower others with a hope that they didn ’ t have prior to dōTERRA . I want to help set people free from physical and emotional bondage .”
Seeing people ’ s lives change thanks to dōTERRA is one of the most rewarding things Beth has ever experienced . She explains , “ I would recommend dōTERRA to anyone who has a heart for helping others because it ’ s an opportunity to help others financially , physically , and emotionally . Coming from the medical field , I wanted to help people , but it was usually by the means of putting a bandage on the situation to buy time . This is completely different . We get to educate others by empowering them to be their own advocate and to learn how to research their own wellness needs .” This drives Beth to continue sharing .
The product changes lives , and so does the business . Beth looks forward to seeing her leaders progress ; in fact , she says , “ I want to see each of my leaders reach Diamond more than I want to be Presidential Diamond .” She feels blessed to work with a team that is driven by faith . Beth attributes the majority of her success to God . “ He has been my solid rock and foundation through the ups and downs of my business , as well as through my health battles and my son ’ s . I truly believe that I was able to hit Diamond by learning who I was in Christ , which empowered me in a way that I can ’ t describe .” With her faith firmly in place , Beth is eager to see where her journey with dōTERRA takes her next .
FOUR KEYS
CREATE MOMENTUM
“ Create momentum by sharing from your heart . When that momentum gets moving , then run with it and don ’ t stop , even when you hit your goal . Don ’ t take a vacation from your business ; it will take three times the energy to get moving again . Get your momentum going so that nothing stops it .”
PRIORITIZE
“ Prioritize your time . Use a block scheduling format and start by blocking out personal time , then family time , and then business time . Stick to your schedule , but be flexible with business time and don ’ t allow it to overflow into personal time . Start and end each day with personal time — renewing your mind , soul , and body .”
SUPPORT
“ Run with those in your downline who are interested in the business , even if they aren ’ t your personal enrollee . Give your customers the best support available to encourage them to be empowered . Make sure your builders have skills , and if they don ’ t have them naturally , empower them to see their own potential .”
EMBRACE
“ Embrace who you are and don ’ t try to be anyone else . Teach your builders that each of us is uniquely gifted . You make a lousy someone else , but you make an amazing you ! God created diversity among our plants just as He did within all of us . If you ’ re busy envying someone else ’ s gifts , then you won ’ t see your own .”
