dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2016

BE CONFIDENT.

“Take this seriously right from the
beginning and be confident. Don’t be
shaken by anyone in your life who
might not understand what you’re
doing or offer you the support you’re
hoping for. If you remain confident
and have a clear vision and passion,
you’ll attract those leaders you want
in your key positions.”

*Results not typical. Average earnings are less. See dōTERRA Opportunity and Earnings Disclosure Summary on doterra.com.

GATHER SUPPORT.

“The people in your life who support
you in your business don’t have to
also be your customers or your
business partners. They’re the
supportive tribe that gets your vision,
has an interest in what you’re doing,
and respects and loves you for it
throughout the journey. You need
those people behind you.”
