Life Happens for Us
“When it’s excruciating, just
know you are blossoming.”
N
ikki Cloud had been battling serious
health problems for five years when
her sister-in-law introduced her to
dōTERRA. Nikki was resistant at first, but
eventually decided to give it a try. She
says, “If it wasn’t for her persistence and
her research into dōTERRA, who knows
where I would be today.” After years of
feeling hopeless, dōTERRA finally made
the difference. “For many years, I had
lost my smile and my identity. It wasn’t
until dōTERRA that I felt beautiful again.”
Nikki got involved in the business opportunity right away—though she saw it as so
much more than that. She says, “I looked
at it as an opportunity to give hope to
people like me who had lost it. I didn’t
realize I was building a business until
it had already happened. I knew the
moment I tried these oils that I was a
part of something larger than myself.
I knew that if I didn’t empower others to
try them, I would be held accountable.”
Nikki eventually decided to join Diamond
Club to help her growing team. She was
out of state teaching with two weeks left
in the month when life happened. The
opposition she faced during that time,
rather than discouraging her, actually
drove her to hit Diamond. She says,
“It’s that old saying: ‘Build your success
from the bricks that people throw at
you.’” She skipped Platinum and went
straight to Diamond in the last two
weeks of that month.
For Nikki, it’s important that people
know she faced the same opposition
they might be facing. She says, “Whether
it may be zero experience in network
marketing, health challenges, a failing
marriage, or little to no upline support,
I want to empower people to fight
through it. To those that have little to
no support in the business—you are
not alone. Most of us Diamonds did it
on our own. To those that struggle with
letting others get them down, please
remember, this is a people business and
everyone has a different personality.
If everyone can just love each other
despite their different beliefs in building,
at the core we all have the same goal,
and that’s to help people.”
NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND
“There’s nothing more powerful
than seeing the happiness, joy, and
healing that dōTERRA brings to the
people on your team. You get to see
their dreams come true.”
Nikki Cloud
PISMO, CALIFORNIA, USA
It’s no coincidence that each time I
thought about throwing in the towel, one
of those people was put in my path. It’s
been humbling to watch these people
who used to suffer be able to find health
and happiness.”
Doing this business has changed her
more than she would’ve ever imagined.
“Life happens for us, not to us. I didn’t
go through my journey with my health
issues just so I could suffer. I went
through that to be able to share with
other people what helped me.”
She feels motivated to continue forward
for all the people she hasn’t met yet. She
says, “I wake up and do this every day
for the people who are on their knees
praying, hoping for answers.
Diamond Tips
KNOW YOU’LL BE SUCCESSFUL.
The biggest misconception I see people
make is in their thinking and their beliefs
about being successful. Most people
believe they will never achieve success
because of limitations, lack of education,
or money. I look around and the majority
of us that are Diamonds walked through
those limitations because we believed in
the product more.”

dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I MAY/JUNE 2015
WORK ON PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.
“I think it would be difficult, if not
impossible, to climb the ranks in any
company if we are not growing and
developing ourselves first. You invest
in your business, and you need to start
investing in you. Your business is a
reflection of you at times. The higher you
grow, the taller your business will stand.”
BE PATIENT WITH THE TIMING.
“Give yourself all the time in the world to
achieve success in dōTERRA. Do not judge
your beginning to someone else’s middle
or end. If you are working at it every day,
just know that in time it will all pay off. It
took me two years before I was able to
say, ‘OK, this is really happening.’”
FOCUS ON HELPING OTHERS.
“For me, this business is more about
helping people than it is about a
monthly paycheck, so building my
business has always come down to
relationships. I have found success
building this way.”
HELP YOUR TEAM EARN THEIR WAY.
“No matter what someone’s intention
is in doing dōTERRA, I want them to
get their oils paid for. If I do my job
right, they’re going to have experiences,
share, and get money for it.”
“Be you. Don’t try
to be someone
else. People need
to hear your words
and experiences.”
