NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND Kisane Appleby MUDJIMBA, QUEENSLAND, AUS The Final Puzzle Piece T hroughout her life, Kisane Appleby has learned more and more about holistic health and natural solutions. While this helped her live a healthier, happier life, something was missing until she found dōTERRA. Kisane says, “I have studied holistic health, nutrition, yoga, raw food, and personal training, and although each path taught me something new, nothing felt exactly right. Now I understand that every previous job or business has laid the foundation for me to understand and share these essential oils.” For Kisane, dōTERRA is the piece that was missing from the puzzle she had been working on for years. When Kisane began using the oils, she saw again and again how they helped herself and others. Although she had never intended to build a business with dōTERRA, she felt compelled to share the oils and eventually decided to go all in. Since then, she has seen a beautiful journey unfold. Kisane’s Why is what drives her forward. She explains, “My heart’s deep desire is to see women shine as I watch them achieve their highest potential in wellness and financial abundance. I want to see these women flourish in a team culture. My Why is to break through the glass ceilings and beliefs that hold us back and find the courage to be our whole, authentic selves with no apology for the magnificence that we are. My Why is to connect with a soul tribe of women who want the same. Together, we can be and see the change that is needed in the world. I want to help create a world where holistic health is the mainstream and not the alternative, and all women stand in their power to make a positive impact in this time and space.” Kisane is grateful to have the support of her upline, her team, her account manager, and her girlfriend, Roe Robertson, along with crossline leaders like Jessie Reimers who continually share their knowledge and time so openly. Their encouragement and insight have changed the way Kisane sees herself and builds her business. She says, “I had to set my ego aside and ask my heart why I was taking this journey. If it was truly about helping others, then I needed support, and that was when I connected with those close to me for love and connection. Their belief in me helped me to believe in myself and see what is possible.” Because she believes that leveling up in personal development must happen before leveling up in rank, Kisane is committed to also helping her team grow and develop. As Kisane looks back on how far she has come, she also looks forward to the future with great hope. She says, “It is part of my daily mantra to say, ‘I am light.’ I have dreamed of a light, bright life for so long, and just a few weeks ago I reached my goal of living in a big, beautiful home near the beach. I realized how lucky I am— I live as I have always imagined, and the only thing that holds me back is myself. I now see possibility in all things. I know I can reach my wildest dreams and help others to reach theirs.” BUILDING BLOCKS “One thing that moves my heart more than anything else is seeing people shine. The fact that I get to see this every day keeps me going even when things feel tough.” REMEMBER, IT’S A REAL BUSINESS “This is a real business. Treat it as you would a brick-and-mortar business by dedicating hours, building relationships, being consistent, and starting out with duplicable systems. You are not an island on this journey—it’s a journey about the people you will connect with.” DON’T RE-CREATE THE WHEEL “There is no need to re-create the wheel. Just fall in love with the oils and help others do the same by helping them to have an oil experience! Don’t make things more complicated than they need to be. Use the tools and resources that resonate with you.” SHARE YOUR PASSION “Speak with passion and compassion. Share from your heart and personal experience. Be real and genuinely approachable. Be honest and vulnerable. Share your story. Think how you can help the next person. Connect in a caring and compassionate way.” SUPPORT YOUR TEAM INDIVIDUALLY “You need to deeply understand that each person in your organization is individual. See each of them for who they are. Learn their love language, and meet them where they are and not where you want them to be. Offer unconditional love and support.” 84 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I JULY / AUGUST 2017 Results not typical. Average earnings are less.
