same , and your team will flourish . If you ’ re having a hard time envisioning yourself as a Presidential Diamond , just envision yourself in your next rank , and then the next . The tools and mindset you need will develop along the way in perfect timing . Surround yourself with successful people ! Our most beloved dōTERRA friendships came as a result of our first incentive trip to Jamaica . Being able to “ watch how it ’ s done ” was so valuable for us . We found out that Blue and Presidential Diamonds were normal people who had been doing dōTERRA a little longer than us , but that each of them had a vision bigger than themselves . They were all focused on loving people , serving others , and making the world a little better every day . We discovered that we already had what it would take to get to Presidential inside of us , and that it was just a matter of continuing to work hard .
At this stage , what motivates you to continue building your business ?
The freedom that dōTERRA brings is something that we can ’ t keep to ourselves ! As our team grows and we see countless lives changed , there is no way that we could stop offering this opportunity to everyone . As we continue to travel , now in our 28- foot Airstream , we come across people every day who are hungry
How do you and your spouse work together in the business ?
Sara : In the first couple of years , Matt cared for the girls , did laundry , made meals , and supported me in everything I needed to do . As we worked toward Presidential , his role shifted into one of strategist and “ master of the back office .” He took that weight off of my shoulders so that I could function in my zone of genius , which is coaching , encouraging , and sharing oils . I love seeing him interact with our team because he brings fresh energy to each situation .
How have you learned to balance running your business and taking care of your family ?
We have a unique situation in that we ’ ve all been home full time since the start of our dōTERRA business . We started traveling that very first summer ( June 2014 ) and have never looked back . We are together 24 / 7 , as we also homeschool the girls . I have scheduled work hours during the week so that they know when I ’ ll be on calls , trainings , etc . That ’ s the best thing about dōTERRA — you can run this business from anywhere in the world , while still spending time with family .
Some people don ’ t want to reach Presidential Diamond because of how hard and stressful it seems . What are the benefits of this rank ? Why should someone want to reach it ?
All ranks have their unique challenges and times of growth . But as a Presidential Diamond , when something comes up that requires my attention , my first thought is , “ I ’ ve got this — no worries .” When we were at the other ranks , I was still finding my way . As time goes by , you learn who you are as a leader , how you interact with your key leaders , what to focus on , and what you can let go . Presidential is a beautiful place to be because you get to see your leaders step into their own roles and watch them fly ! Our absolute favorite part of this is watching our leaders ’ lives change before our eyes . There is nothing better ! for change . They want change in their health , in their finances , and in their family life . dōTERRA can help with all of that .
How has this business changed your life ?
Before finding dōTERRA , there never seemed to be enough money or time for all of the things we wanted to do . We made it work , but there was always stress and worry . We caught the vision of what dōTERRA could truly provide for our family and for those we knew , and we jumped in and never looked back . I cannot imagine what our life would be without this incredible company . The relationships and friendships we have now have changed our life . The people that this business brings across your path are the best part of it all , and as you work together to carry light out into a darkened world , you see just how powerful a few passionate people can be .
