Creating Partnerships
Charlie & Amy Widmer
MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA, USA
Share the business. “We tell our team where we want to go and that we
want to take them with us. We share the product and the business—we talk
about both to everyone. We share all the ways dōTERRA has enriched our lives
over and over with passion and heart.” –Amy
A VEHICLE
TO CREATE
W
hen Amy Widmer was first
introduced to dōTERRA, all she
needed to do was hold the bottle in her
hand to know she loved the product. She
says, “Even before I inhaled the oils, I could
sense power through my hands. I was
sensitive to energy and vibrations due
to the energy work I did. Then, I started
smelling every single one and asking
what they could assist with—and I was
hooked.” It took her six months to feel
like she could save up enough to enroll,
because of the “lack mentality” she had.
But, once she did, she knew that she
wanted to share dōTERRA with the world.
“I somehow inherently knew that this was
a vehicle that could transform my life.”
It was another year before her husband,
Charlie, decided to join her. He gradually
became more interested in the oils, and
then attended convention with her. He
says, “I went because I was interested in
doing something other than my current
business. I learned more about the
business side there and saw how the
comp plan worked, and I knew that it was
something that I could do.”
Amy had already built the business
to Elite on her own, and Charlie saw

dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I MAY/JUNE 2015
Define builders. “Get clear on what a builder is—be that and teach that.
Learn how to best discern the strengths in your leaders and help them be really
good at that. Give them the courage and excitement to build with you.” –Amy
Find a match. “Be sure that your builders’ enthusiasm, energy, motivation,
and inspiration matches yours so you can build with ease, joy, and glory. If
those levels match within their own uniqueness, then the building can be fun
as opposed to stressful and overwhelming.” –Amy
that they needed to get to Platinum
for him to wean himself away from his
other business. Once he was able to
work dōTERRA full time, they flew up to
Diamond. Amy was excited to be Diamond
to be able to expand her reach. She says,
“I wanted the opportunity to help so many
more people than I was. I wanted a bigger
platform to share my message and my life
purpose. I felt like Diamond was a vehicle
to create that in a big way.”
When she was a single mom with five
kids, Amy couldn’t pay her rent by herself
and was on public assistance. She
says, “My world was small and I often
felt disempowered because I had to
continually ask for help. Now, I’m able to
give back.” And that’s just the tip of the
iceberg when it comes to how much her
life has changed with dōTERRA. “I have
grown and blossomed exponentially with
the medium dōTERRA has provided. I no
longer see limits. My boundaries are so
far out that I can barely see them, and
they used to be so close around me that
I could barely breathe. I am so proud
of the person I am becoming and I am
even more proud of my leaders and the
courage they exhibit. I feel more. I’m
more human.”
Create partnerships. “The key spots in your organization should be true
partnerships. A partnership is each person doing their part, not one person
pulling the other kicking and screaming. You’re both holding hands and doing
this together.” –Charlie
“We’re now able to
help our children in
ways we never could.
We can enrich and
expand their lives, and
that motivates me to
keep going forward.”

“DON’T
LIMIT
YOUR
BELIEF IN
