SIMPLE REMINDERS
NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND
“ I wanted to take care of people , to serve , educate , and help them find the freedom I had found .”

Initially , Brooke Oliver was not interested in dōTERRA ® at all . She had used essential oils on and off for seven years and was never impressed with the results . It was only when she discovered a friend was selling dōTERRA products that she decided to order from her instead of her other supplier . Still , it was several months before she even tried the oils . When she received her first order , she put it away in the drawer ; however , when Brooke finally opened the bottle and used the oil , she was astonished with the results .

Even though she loved the product , Brooke was initially not interested in selling . She did not have a good opinion about direct sales companies at all . She did not want to take advantage of relationships and put her friends in awkward situations . She began doing what she calls “ beating the system .” Brooke started telling all her friends to sign up as wholesale customers to take advantage of the discount . Months later , however , Brooke started to see that maybe this would be the right business for her . “ I decided that maybe I could do network marketing ,” she says , “ but I was determined to do it my way , to serve others with no expectations . That ’ s when I started learning about dōTERRA ’ s compensation plan and began realizing that the company was set up perfectly for someone like me . I wanted to take care of people , to serve , educate , and help them find the freedom I had found .”
Brooke now fully embraces the dōTERRA model . She still calls herself a rebel , but for different reasons . She says she is “ a rebel against just blindly following what everyone else is doing .” Says Brooke , “ I don ’ t need to be eating the typical American diet , living the standard American lifestyle , depending on the American healthcare system .” Instead , she is living her life on her terms , and by living how she feels is right , Brooke has found her strengths .
One of Brooke ’ s favorite things about dōTERRA is the focus on individual strengths — whatever your strengths may be , there is a way for you to succeed . Says Brooke , “ The biggest question is , what is going to work for you ? I know that had I tried to follow someone else ’ s system in the beginning , I would have tanked fast .” Brooke found that by genuinely wanting her friends to experience oils , she found her success .
Because she wanted everyone to be getting the most out of using oils ,

Brooke Oliver

CANTON , GEORGIA , USA
Brooke began teaching an “ Essential Oils 101 ” class once a month , every month . From the very beginning , she consistently followed this practice . She calls herself passionate about education . She starts every class with the 101 and then moves into topics that are more specific to each audience . When it comes to organizing classes and working together , Brooke says , “ It is truly a team effort .”
Having a supportive team is one of the most important things if you are going to grow , and Brooke has not only an amazing team but also a great support group at home . At first , her husband , Allen , was supportive by watching their girls while Brooke hosted classes . Now , he has become a Wellness Advocate himself and helps Brooke grow her business even more . Brooke says , “ I wanted to help people , not build a business , and working together has given me the freedom to do just that . I talk , teach , strategize , and build community . Allen mentors , pours into relationships , keeps track of our back office , and does all of our graphic design for team events . We ’ re both working within our strengths , and it ’ s just free and beautiful .”
