dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2016
“I am proud of every
single person who
decides to trust nature
and see for themselves
what a miracle these
oils are.”
THINK LIKE A
DIAMOND.
“At first, I thought
I just had to do
everything I needed to
achieve Diamond, but
I had not made the
decision to be one and
feel like one in my very
soul. Once I realized
that, it was about six
months before we
reached Diamond.”
PROVIDE TOOLS.
“We did a lot of
promotions that
helped people learn
about the oils and
then helped them to
share, do classes, and
grow. We prepared
the means for them
to learn by constantly
translating articles
and creating Slovak
versions of websites.”
FIND
INSPIRATION.
SUPPORT YOUR
TEAM.
“Talk to all types
of Diamonds.
Share your visions
and dreams with
corporate leaders.
Read Leadership
magazines, attend
events, read lots of
personal development
books. Stick to your
daily tasks. Find your
inspiration every day.”
“Provide education
and inspiration to
your team. Celebrate
and honor their
achievements, serve
them, and let them
know you are there for
them no matter what.
Let them make their
own decisions and
walk their own way.”
*Results not typical. Average earnings are less. See dōTERRA 2014 Opportunity and Earnings Disclosure Summary on doterratools.com.
BELIEVE.
“There is no magic
to it. You just have
to believe and act
upon that faith.
Some things work,
some don’t, but this
is experience. There
is no other way. These
are good foundations,
and when the hard
times come, you can
build upon these
solid rocks.”
