hile at a barbeque in California,
Char Brown ran into her old friend,
Rosalie Elliott. Char had just dropped her
son off at college and told Rosalie about
how she was stressed out and not sleeping
well. Rosalie asked her if she wanted
something all-natural to help, and gave
her a dōTERRA essential oil. When Rosalie
called her a few weeks later, Char still
hadn’t tried it. Rosalie convinced her to give
it a try, and Char slept so well that night
that soon she was begging for more.
“Something we love
about dōTERRA is being
able to see people grow
and improve their health
and finances. It’s like
that excitement you feel
when you watch your
kids open their presents
on Christmas morning.”

dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I MAY/JUNE 2015
Char and Rosalie had pulled each other
into several network marketing companies
in the past. In one of them, Char and her
husband, Russ, had lost everything when
their business went downhill. So, Char was
insistent that she would never get involved
in the business aspect of dōTERRA, until
Rosalie invited her to a training event
in Utah. Char says, “I went, and it was a
life-changing, momentous event for me.”
She had lunch with Emily Wright, and
was impressed with her passion and how
much she cared about others. “I knew
this was where I needed to be, because
it’s important to me to be involved with a
company that cares about people. I knew
right then that I was a Diamond, I just didn’t
have enough people yet.”
Once Russ understood how different the
dōTERRA compensation plan was, he started
to get involved with Char in the business.

DIAMOND TIPS
FOCUS ON
STRENGTHS.
“We’ve figured out that
when we butt heads, it’s
because we aren’t working
at our strong points. We
decided to work together
by focusing on each other’s
strengths to make up for the
other person’s weaknesses.
By doing that, we’re creating
a synergy and a momentum
that is unstoppable.” –Russ
BE CONSISTENT.
FIND THE BELIEF
.
NEVER QUIT.
“Persistency and consistency
are the keys. It’s a matter of
doing. You have to share,
follow up, teach classes, and
enroll. If you do those things
routinely, over and over
again and don’t quit, it will
happen.” –Char
“There’s a belief level that
you have to reach that a
lot of people don’t have.
You have to get to that
level of belief and faith in
the products. You have to
believe that if you do those
simple steps, it will happen.
That’s the magic.” –Char
“In order to be Diamond, you
have to have the focus and
dedication to never say die—
never quit. If it’s the twentyeighth of the month, it’s 8
PM, and I need one more
enrollment to qualify for rank
that month, I’m going to do
it. No matter what.” –Char
“doTERRA has helped
me learn how to be
comfortable being
me, and how to help
other people do the
same. I’ve learned
to be vulnerable and
let people see the
real me, and that
vulnerability is what
draws people in.”
