NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND Becki Ruh GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA, USA T Rising with the Sunrise he early morning hours of starting a business, yawning and stretching, are full of hope and enthusiasm, but sometimes lack clarity. What steps should be taken first? How should passion be shared so that it can be accepted? Becki Ruh was awake and itching to share oils. She knew clearly that she wanted to help others start their own healing journeys, yet her drive didn’t lead straight to a clear vision. Becki reflects, “I was sowing the seeds of love by sharing the oils with any and every person who crossed my path. And I was willing to pour everything I had into anyone who showed up with any semblance of interest. I had a full heart, zero boundaries, and a passion big enough to carry me as long as I needed it to.” It wasn’t a bad thing to pour her heart and soul into sharing with everyone she knew. She believed that if she just kept sharing the oil love with as many as she could, she would eventually establish a viable business. And it did work for Becki to give with abandon, despite the times when she felt scattered and overwhelmed: “I was where I was. I was experiencing my own awakening of sorts as I was going through the steps to become ready to rise. I needed to grow in order to be ready to lead a community of people who were ready to awake and arise with me. It’s why I encourage new leaders to bring awareness into what they’re creating from the very beginning.” While Becki understands and en­ courages others to be aware of their end goals, she doesn’t downplay her unique journey. “Though in hindsight it would’ve been a more direct path had I written out my vision, I am floored that I was able to create what I have without that kind of awareness from the beginning. This opportunity is a teacher in and of itself. If we are just willing to take the steps, the path will unfold before us. It will lead us and we’ll develop the skillsets necessary to take us to the next part of our path.” “My business continues to grow and stretch me in ways I’ve been craving my entire life,” says Becki. “And I’m grateful now that I’ve been able to build it even though I didn’t come in with a fully formed vision of where it could take me or what I was creating. As a result, I inadvertently developed an unshakable faith and trust in the order of things. And that is a gift I never knew I was missing until, for the first time in my life, I felt what it was like to feel fully supported. I have complete trust that I was—and always have been—safe, guided, and whole just as I am.” With this awareness of support, Becki continues to build her business with the new team name “Awaken and Arise.” A R E YO U C R AV I N G C L A R I T Y ? Reflecting on her business building strategies, Becki Ruh says, “I recognize now I wasn’t super clear about what I wanted from the business from the very beginning. I recognize there was a much more direct route to where I stand today.” How can you become more awake and aware while building your business?
