Presidential Diamond Tips: Obstacles=Growth
IT’S A PROCESS.
“If dōTERRA were to automatically give everyone a Presidential Diamond team, most people would fail, because they have not

BE PATIENT.
“Sometimes people get frustrated when they haven’t reached the rank they expected to after three or four years. It took us

because of how hard and stressful it seems. What are
the benefits of this rank? Why should someone else

Rhonda: I thought the same thing. I was never going to go for
Presidential Diamond. It looked like way too much work. But,
we were doing things on a regular basis like we always had
and it just came together organically. It was a lot easier to
become Presidential Diamond than it was to reach Diamond.
At this point, we’re more experienced; we’re more confident
in ourselves, the products, and the company; and we’re more
passionate.
