NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND
Judi Sears
CEDAR HILLS, UTAH, USA
No Time
TO DWELL ON IT
When Judi Sears was a premed
student in college, her food
science and nutrition professor told
her that she’d never be happy just
writing prescriptions and that other
doctors wouldn’t enjoy working
with her because she argued and
questioned everything. This stuck with
Judi. For her, it made the most sense
to support the body’s natural systems.
She had found success using diet and
natural protocols in her own life, so
she decided to study natural health,
becoming an iridologist, herbalist, and
nutritional counselor.
Twenty years later, Judi was using
several different brands of essential
oils in her practice, but she wasn’t
seeing great results with them.
When someone talked to her about
dōTERRA ® essential oils, she was
resistant to try. She thought she’d
already seen it all. When she did finally
give them a try, she quickly saw results
in herself and her clients. “I couldn’t
help but take notice,” she explains. But
results aside, she wasn’t interested in
getting too involved in the business.
That all changed when her friend
and upline Laura Jacobs asked Judi
to teach a class because she had
double-booked herself. “I told Laura
I’d never taught an essential oils class
and didn’t know how. She told
me to get on YouTube and
watch Kalli Wilson teach, so
that’s what I did,” Judi recalls.
The “class” ended up being in a
hotel conference room with 75
people attending. “I was scared
but didn’t have time to dwell
on it. I taught the class. When
it was time to close, truthfully, I
didn’t know a single thing about
the kits, so I just pointed to the
biggest picture on the page: the
Natural Solutions Kit.” As she
remembers it, Judi sold at least
a dozen of those kits, along with
several smaller ones. “It was
the beginning of the business I
didn’t know I wanted.”
Judi credits much of her success
to teamwork. Her family’s support
has been critical. “My husband
has talked me off the ledge more
times than either of us could count,”
she says. In addition, building
relationships with her dōTERRA
team has made her business more
enjoyable. Learning about their
different strengths has created a team
culture where everyone achieves
more together. “I know I’m where I
am because of them, and I don’t ever
take that for granted.”
