NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS

FUTURE GENERATIONS

“ Sometimes we need to step back and realize this is a journey not a destination . The beauty is in the journey and in the process .” – Nate

Kelly Bailey had been trying to improve her diet and live a more natural lifestyle for the past 15 years . When she attended her first dōTERRA class , she was blown away by what she learned . She says , “ I enthusiastically tried to reteach the class to my husband when I got home .” Her husband , Nate , had grown up using essential oils , so he was completely onboard with using them for their family . He even suggested that Kelly should work to see if she could get the oils paid for .

After using the oils for six months , Kelly felt impressed to pursue dōTERRA as a business . She was already running her own fine art and graphic design business while raising two small children , and didn ’ t think she had any extra time . She decided she would give it as much effort as she could for
90 days , and if it didn ’ t work then she could give herself permission to stop .
“ If I hadn ’ t given myself that amount of time I ’ m not sure that I could have justified all of the effort that I was putting into it ,” Kelly says . “ I was doing dōTERRA for 25 – 35 hours a week on top of everything else .” They ate out instead of cooking , they dealt with a dirtier house , they didn ’ t get a lot of sleep , and they didn ’ t watch any TV . Because of this sacrifice , they were able to reach Silver in 60 days and Kelly backed off her design business and focused solely on dōTERRA . “ I know this fast track isn ’ t for everyone , but for me it was absolutely worth it . We saw the fruits so quickly that it wasn ’ t guesswork . We knew this was going to work .”
Today , Nate has been able to step back from his real estate endeavors to spend more time with the family and he intends to slowly get more involved with dōTERRA as well . Kelly says , “ Nate and I are equally as passionate about helping people dream big , become debt-free , and live with purpose as we are about the product . dōTERRA has changed our family ’ s life forever . We can literally spend as much time as we ’ d like with our precious children , who will only be little for so long , and we never worry about how we ’ ll pay for things or retire or travel . We can be generous with others and that ability will only grow as our business does .”
Nate adds , “ What motivates us is the ability to change others ’ lives for future generations . Everything we do matters . Everything we do now has a rippling effect on future generations . We want to be able to inspire , teach , and help others grow .”

IMPORTANT TRAITS FOR SUCCESS

Determination
“ It comes down to being determined in educating , following up , making sure people understand how to use their membership , and caring about those people . If you do those things , you ’ re going to grow .” – Kelly
Belief
“ You have to believe you can do it . When you start to doubt yourself and think , ‘ Other people can do this , but not me ,’ that ’ s when you get in trouble . If you believe and just keep trucking , there ’ s no way not to succeed .” – Kelly
Production
“ Focus on incomeproducing activities . Just like in most businesses , that ’ s prospecting or talking to people . The next thing is teaching , and the last thing is following up . The business comes down to those things .” – Nate
Simplification
“ Don ’ t spend your time trying to create a website or a logo , buying business cards , or alphabetizing your oils . As humans we tend to complicate things , but it has to come back to the core things in order to progress .” – Nate
