“It has always been a struggle
to find space in my busy calendar
for dōTERRA. The more successful
we become, the more time
and sacrifice is required to work our
business. You and I are still works in
progress!” “I have always built my business
into my regular routine. If I was
at sporting events with my
daughter, you know I was using
my oils. I would talk with people
in lines at grocery stores and one
of my builders asked if we could
have our weekly call at the car wash
on Monday mornings!” “Being a Diamond has given
me so much flexibility to be
able to accommodate others’
busy schedules and allow
me the time freedom I needed
for myself and family!”
