dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I MARCH/APRIL 2015
THE SECRET IS DUPLICATION
“THE HEALING
THAT’S COME INTO
OUR LIFE BECAUSE
OF THE dōTERRA
FINANCIAL
OPPORTUNITY HAS
BEEN INCREDIBLE.
IT’S EASY FOR
US TO TALK TO
PEOPLE ABOUT
THE BUSINESS
BECAUSE WE HAD
SUCH A MIRACLE.”
IF IT DOESN’T
DUPLICATE,
DON’T DO IT.
“We have taken that
as gospel. We don’t
do anything we don’t
expect our team to
do. Even if it’s a really
great idea, if it’s not
what we want people
to do or if we don’t
think anyone can do it,
then we don’t do it.”
LEAD BY
EXAMPLE. KEEP IT
SIMPLE. DON’T MAKE IT
ABOUT YOU. EMPOWER,
DON’T ENABLE.
“We know that from
the moment we’re
bringing someone
samples we’re
teaching them how to
do the business. If it’s
not something I expect
them to do, then I’m
not going to do it.
I’m going to lead by
example.” “We teach people
the simple steps to
do this business and
encourage them to
do the same for their
team. Our hope is to
give them a system
where whether you’re
rich or poor, have tons
of time or not, have
certain skills or not,
you can do this.” “In the beginning, we
really wanted to be
dōTERRA superstars.
After some time we
had great success
in dōTERRA, but we
still weren’t anything
special. We realized
the wisdom in that—
we are not the secret.
The secret is the
compensation plan
and the oils. Anybody
with determination
can do what we do.” “We’ve made a rule
that we don’t place
even a customer
under anyone unless
they are enrolling
people themselves.
That’s allowed us to
have teams that take
care of themselves.
We only truly have a
residual income if we
have leaders that are
empowered.”
“Our lives used to be so hopeless and lost. We didn’t
know who we were or what we were meant to be.
dōTERRA answered that, and for us, that is powerful.”
