They invited Kelly to attend classes and consider the opportunity. Kelly explains, “I wasn’t ready and declined multiple invitations.” However, Natalie was persistent and kept checking. She would ask Kelly how she was doing, offer suggestions for how she and her family could benefit from the products, and let Kelly know how her own dōTERRA business was developing. Kelly said, “It took me 18 months after first experiencing dōTERRA to get over my resistance to network marketing, and realize the powerful business opportunity I was missing out on.” Once Kelly started to really dig into the business, the Andersons sat down and made a plan. They decided that once they hit Diamond, Matt would sell his company and join her in dōTERRA full-time. It took two years to realize their dream, and on the very day they hit Diamond Matt received several offers to sell his company. Matt is now fully engaged in dōTERRA. He loves the products and looks forward to becoming a certified Aromatouch Trainer. Something that is absolutely worth celebrating is the fact that many of the Andersons’ long range plans as a family are already beginning to be realized, including traveling as a family worldwide. They recently spent three months sharing dōTERRA and experiencing Europe with their children. The Andersons then moved to North Shore, Oahu where they are expanding their dōTERRA efforts and serving a part-time service mission for their church. The Andersons had this advice for those seeking the same success, “design your business exactly the way you want it to be.” They recommend consultants consider the following: What’s your vision? What kind of leader do you want to be? What kind of leaders do you want to work with? What’s your timeline for rank and financial goals? What kind of audience do you most want to serve? Kelly said, “Once you know these answers, make an action plan and work with your team leader to hold you accountable. Create rewards for yourself and your team, when you reach your goals celebrate. Keep giving thanks for each step of the journey. The life lessons dōTERRA offers in developing yourself and building friendships along the way is priceless. Some of my very best friends are my team members.” Designing Your Business for You The Anderson family in Rome, Italy 31
