Do the things that you love doing. Make your workshops and classes fun for you.” C harlie O’Connor first found dōTERRA ® as a solution to her She was online with a group of friends, discussing her struggles, when someone offered essential oils as a possible solution. After a friend sent Charlie a sample, she says she knew oils were the answer to her problems. The first drop of oil she applied to her son only confirmed her intuitions, and their lives were changed forever. Around the same time, Charlie received invitations from other friends to try dōTERRA products, so she decided to buy the intro kit and explore the range of essential oil uses. “The minute they arrived in the post and I had them in my hands,” says Charlie, “I just knew I held the key to a new life. I hadn’t even opened the bottles. I made the comment, ‘I feel like I’m going to fall down this rabbit hole.’” It was shortly after this that Charlie signed up to be a Wellness Advocate. Charlie loved the product so much that she immediately shared it with all her friends. She says, “I was sharing within my first month, and by my second month, I had enrolled 12 people and went Elite. I wasn’t interested in the business at all; I was just doing it because I loved the products, and to my complete surprise, I was successful!” By being a product of the product, Charlie was able to grow her business faster than she could imagine. At this point Charlie decided that she believed dōTERRA could be a viable 64 N dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I JULY / AUGUST 2018 business opportunity for her. She has found that, when sharing dōTERRA products, two things have the biggest impact: First, helping people to have a physical experience with the oils, and second, sharing how she honestly feels about the products. The oils “will sell themselves, if people are given a chance to exper­ience them," says Charlie. “Shout it from the rooftops. Let people feel that you absolutely believe in them.” Charlie has found that being honest about her own dōTERRA journey is what has attracted the most people to her. Charlie surrounds herself with other Wellness Advocates who have similar beliefs to her own. She says, “The community in dōTERRA has been my support network. I’m extremely proud of the sense of community that has been created in my business so that support flows up as well as down.” She is grateful for her husband’s support. He stays home with their three young children so Charlie can follow her passion for dōTERRA. He is her “behind the scenes support,” says Charlie. “I couldn’t do it without him.” She now spends more time with her family than when she was working full time. Because of the blessings she has seen in her life, Charlie is passionate about helping others experience these benefits, “My happiness, my relationships, my passion for life, my spirituality, my desire to serve the world, have all deepened and grown in ways I can hardly explain. We were able to follow our hearts. I am grateful every day for that enormous blessing.” Charlie O’Connor BANYO, QUEENSLAND, AUS SUCCESS WORK WITH YOUR STRENGTHS. “Don’t try DON’T BE AFRAID TO SHARE YOURSELF. “People join your team because of who you are, not because of the oils.
