When she helped one of her doula friends I LOVE BEING ABLE TO GIVE PEOPLE ON MY TEAM A WAY TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND TO GROW AS PEOPLE. dōTERRA HAS UNIMAGINABLY CHANGED ALL OF OUR LIVES. enroll, she was surprised when she got a check in the mail. She says, “All I did was help her get the oils she wanted at a discount, and I got a check for that. The light went off in my head.” At first, Traci’s only goal was to get her oils for free. Then she got a call from Romi Clark, her upline five levels above her, inviting her to participate in their team’s Silver challenge. Traci agreed to give it a try and today is grateful Romi took the time to pay attention to someone so far down her leg. “If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be doing this. She taught me a lesson that has stuck with me, and now I make sure to stay in contact with my entire downline. There are no limits to who I can help, because I know I wouldn’t be here if someone hadn’t done that for me.” Convention was a big turning point for Traci’s business. After watching Romi walk the red carpet, the whole team 18 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I WINTER 2014 was excited to reach Diamond, and they Traci found she had to take a leap of a doula because she had wanted to wanted Traci to do so as well.

Through Diamond years in social services and child birth, that point, but she wanted to encourage Club, she was able to go from Silver to I think I’ve changed more lives in a year everyone else. She decided to do Diamond Diamond in less than six months and and a half with dōTERRA than I ever Club for the chance to get reimbursed for has more than surpassed the income did before. I’ve reach more people, visiting her team. She says, “I like free stuff her doula practice ever brought her. and I’m doing more good. I didn’t plan and I like giving people free stuff. With Diamond Club, I could go on free trips to give free oils to people. It was a win-win.” Far beyond the financial benefits, Traci has been amazed at the positive effect she’s been able to have on people’s lives As she prepared for Diamond Club before through dōTERRA. She had chosen her she was even sure if she would qualify, past professions as a social worker and on that. I thought I was doing this for free oils, and it turned out to be congruent with my lifelong goals. This was all a total accident, but the happiest accident ever.” S H AR E TH E P OS I TI V E S : CH I L D B I R TH VS. D I AMO ND C LUB Child Birth: “No one ever says, ‘I had a baby and it was a wonderful, great experience,’ because they don’t want to brag. The only stories you hear about child birth are, ‘It was awful, and I had this complication,’ and so women are terrified to give birth. That’s our fault as women. We need to be more open about our good child birth experiences. We’re working in the birthing community to get more positive stories out there.” Diamond Club: “With Diamond Club, it’s the same thing. The only stories I heard about Diamond Club when I first started dōTERRA were that it’s awful, it’s super stressful, and it makes you cry. That was my only knowledge about it. So, when someone invited me to do it, I told them I wasn’t the type of person to get involved in that kind of a competition. It was hearing about the travel reimbursement that convinced me to give it a try, and obviously I made the right decision.” www.doterra.com 19
