ven after hosting a couple dōTERRA
classes for a friend, Lindsey Gifford
decided not to enroll. She hadn’t had a
powerful experience with essential oils yet,
so she didn’t see their value and felt like
she couldn’t afford them. She was gifted a
Trio Kit for hosting the classes, and it was
with that kit that she had the experience
she needed. Then Lindsey’s friend came to
her and told her since many of her friends
were already enrolling, it would be a good
idea for her to enroll too. Lindsey says,
“I literally enrolled with $35. I didn’t even
have that. A week later I got a check in the
mail that paid for all the oils I wanted to
buy and then some. It just kept building
from there.”
Lindsey attended her first east coast
conference as a Premier, where she says,
“I didn’t have a clue what I was doing or
what was going on.” But, it was there that
she saw the vision of the executives and
got to meet some of the top Diamond
leaders, which left her star-struck. When
she hit Gold, she realized she could join
those top leaders too. The goal she put
on her vision board for hitting Diamond
happened exactly when she planned.
She says, “I think putting things down
on paper, looking at it every day, and
visualizing your goals helps push you and
make you accountable. That was a huge
help for me.”

yourself. Be genuine, relatable, sincere, and compassionate. It’s not all about
you, it’s about them.”
FOCUS ON PEOPLE. “Don’t think so much about rank. If you put time,
energy, and heart into the people who need your support and help them reach
their goals, then your goals will happen.”
FIND WHAT THEY WANT. “Ask your leaders what they want to get out
of dōTERRA. Listen to them and make it a reality. As you watch your leaders
transform, you’ll transform too.”
CREATE INDEPENDENCE. “Remind your leaders of their potential and
the incredible impact they have on families. Help them become independent,
and not completely reliant on you.”
After the birth of her son, Lindsey’s
babysitter backed out on her. She wasn’t
able to afford daycare, so she ended
up not being able to go back to work.
She started babysitting other people’s
children to make ends meet. She says,
“When dōTERRA came along, it was such
a blessing.” Her family no longer has to
live paycheck to paycheck and financial
freedom is in their sights.
Born with a cleft lip and palate, Lindsey
has had 14 surgeries to help repair it in
her lifetime. She says, “I grew up feeling
self-conscious about my looks and my
voice. I had years of speech therapy as
a child. I was an average student, and I
always felt like I didn’t measure up. I never
thought I could make a difference in F
