NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND Jessica Travis WINDSOR, COLORADO, USA W AN Inside Job hen Jessica Travis was introduced to dōTERRA essential oils, she was working as a nurse prac­ titioner and didn’t have much faith in natural health solutions. However, she decided to try Lavender oil to help her three-year-old daughter. Jessica was surprised to discover that the oil worked, and she decided to start looking into essential oils for her own health issues. Once Jessica began using essential oils to support her own health, she was impressed by the results she experienced, and she began sharing. She remembers, “Once I saw the incredible results, the first thing I thought about was helping other people with the same issues I struggled with. I started contacting people and sharing the oils with them, and they had the same results I did. I saw the impact this could have on people.” Although Jessica hadn’t intended to start a business with dōTERRA, she and her hus­band were encouraged by the checks they received once Jessica started sharing. Jessica’s husband, Glenn, has always been supportive of her business. She is grateful for his continual encouragement, and their daughter also helps Jessica with her work. “My daughter loves coming to classes with me. She helps pass around oils and shares how she likes to use them, and she even holds mini classes with the other kids there while I teach.” While Jessica has many responsibilities between her family and her work, she finds it easier to balance family time and business time with the dōTERRA business than she did with a 9–5 job. In addition to the support of her family, Jessica finds great support in online groups. She says, “The quality of people who are in dōTERRA leadership is incredible. I’ve had so much support along the way. Now that I’m a Diamond, I’m part of a Diamond group on Facebook. When you’re in a group of nothing but Diamond leaders and above, it raises your game to a whole new level.” Jessica has found amazing mentors among other dōTERRA leaders, and she strives to do the same for her own team. When asked about her Why, Jessica’s family is her top answer. Their family experienced financial strain when Jessica quit working as a nurse practitioner, and with her dōTERRA business, they are now starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Jessica explains, “We’re almost debt free. I want to help other families experience this same financial freedom. It excites me to think of helping others get out of debt.” In contrast to her work as a nurse practitioner, Jessica has found immense satisfaction in her dōTERRA business. She explains, “When I was a nurse practitioner, I was so in my head. It’s transformative to work from my heart instead. Before, I tried to help people by rearranging external circumstances. Now I understand that it’s an inside job. The oils have helped me understand how things work inside, and you need to work with your body. I can’t wait to help other people experience this same transition.” With her heart focused on helping others, Jessica is excited to continue growing with dōTERRA. “This business has shown me that it’s up to us. We can choose. Success is an inside job.” Next Level Success Tips Look at the details. “I had the goal of reaching Diamond from the time I started the business, but it was a vague idea. It wasn’t until I hit Gold that I actually sat down and looked at the compensation plan, the earning potential, and what was required to reach Diamond. That helped Diamond feel so much more real, tangible, and achievable.” Focus on real builders. “As I planned for Diamond Club, instead of feeling frustrated that the very first people I shared with weren’t serious about building, I started to look with gratitude at some of the people they had brought on along the way. I also focused on personal enrollments who weren’t on my frontline but were actively engaged. This served to completely reinvigorate me and my team.” Attract success. “You don’t find builders—you attract them. If you don’t feel successful, you won’t attract the right people. You don’t have to be at a certain rank like Diamond to feel successful. All you need is to know enough to believe in the product and the business. Be committed. Look inside and become a person who feels successful.” 40 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I MARCH / APRIL 2018 Results not typical. Average earnings are less.
