NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS “People let the little things in life distract them. You’ve got to be focused and self-motivated. The time will pass anyway.” –Denise Kerry & Denise Norris NORTH OGDEN, UTAH, USA FOUR YEARS TO A FREEDOM fter receiving a sample of Breathe, Denise Norris quickly became an avid dōTERRA product user. When it came time for her son to go on a two-year LDS mission, she decided she wanted to help pay for it. She started to hold dōTERRA classes, hoping to earn at least $400 a month. By the time her son left on his mission, she was already Silver. She says, “It went way beyond my expectations.” Her husband, Kerry, calls it a forest fire. From there, Denise reached Gold and found herself stuck there for two years. She says, “I had tons of underlying fears. I had never done anything like this by myself before. I had to dig deep into affirmations, be consistent, and stay focused. It was a tremendous boost.” Before she knew it, one of her team members suddenly decided to build and pushed her to Diamond. TEAM SUPPORT “That was a miracle. There was no accident there.” you with so much freedom. It’s empowering.” Denise ran into many other challenges on her journey to Diamond. On the first day of Diamond Club, a close family member died and her time was suddenly consumed with closing the estate. There was also a major extended family vacation that had been planned a year in advance, her son crushed his collarbone while hiking in the mountains, and another son had baseball tournaments out of state. “The four months could not have been crazier,” Denise says. “I had all these responsibilities on me and I just didn’t want to quit Diamond Club. I remember getting a check at the end of that month and being amazed that even with all that, I still got paid.” Kerry adds, “The residual income that comes with this business provides Their dōTERRA income has also allowed Denise and Kerry to be generous with others. After enrolling an old friend from the Philippines, Denise was able to pay to fly out the entire family to attend her friend’s daughter’s wedding. On top of that, this friend is now building a dōTERRA team in the Philippines. Denise says, “I never dreamed in a million years that I would ever see this friend again, let alone be working with her. It’s all because of dōTERRA.” Kerry worked for 20 years to build his insurance business, and he’s amazed that his wife’s dōTERRA business has passed him up in just four years. Denise says, “The future feels brighter. I think that if I can accomplish this with my team in four years, how about the next four?” “Just keep working, loving, and sharing, and it just mushrooms. I’ve never seen anything like it.” –Kerry Serve selflessly Teach commitment Encourage consistency Build a foundation Show concern “If you serve your team and show gratitude, then that comes back to you in a huge way. If you make it all about you, that’s not going to get you very far.” –Denise 42 Promote events “We’re super big on promoting the big corporate events. We push that hard. I don’t think people can see the big picture until they go.” –Denise “I tell people to make this a four-year career. Pretend you’re in college for four years. You’re building four leaders and a huge, long-term organization— it takes time.” –Denise “There are no limits to this business. But, most people just need to be steady. If you consistently work at this over time, you’re going to get where you want to be.” –Kerry “Between them and their organization, we try to get people to bring in one new person a day. That gives that little team a foundation that will do amazing things.” –Kerry “Seventy percent of our team orders regularly. It’s because we’ve educated them and shown a genuine concern for everyone on the team.” –Kerry dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I MAY/JUNE 2015 www.doterra.com 43
