NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS Max and Liz Lowenstein MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, USA A TIME AND SEASON FOR EVERYTHING When Liz first enrolled as a dōTERRA ® Wellness Advocate, she knew she’d stumbled upon something special, but it took a while for Max to hop on board. Liz says, “I presented the power and the opportunity to use these oils rather than forced it all on him. Allowing Max to come into the space of his own growth is what our relationship is based on. It’s really amazing to see Max’s transition from last year to now. It’s been great seeing him fall in love with the oils. He shares from a place of deep love for the products and for the person.” At a Leadership Retreat, Max and Liz really decided to go for it as a team. “We saw the heart of dōTERRA,” Liz remembers. “We saw that we really align with everything dōTERRA is doing. We were excited when we saw the vision, and we knew we both wanted to go full force with it.” While Max and Liz have been growing their business at lightning speed, they found the rapidity of their growth to be a bit of a roadblock. “At the beginning, we found the greatest challenge was the more we worked, the more we made. Coming from the place where we didn’t have a lot of money, that was a big driving force. Unfortunately, family, personal, and social lives all took a huge toll. But when we found that we could actually achieve the same results by not using so much personal energy and instead using more universal energy, that was a game changer.” When the couple hit Diamond, they knew they had to set boundaries with their team and take time for self-care, individually and as a couple. They say, “There are times for everything, and coming to that realization was huge for us.” Max and Liz are together the majority of their time. Their relationship is based on the same deep communication and trust principles found in the yoga they practice together. The couple has successfully integrated the same principles into their business. Max says, “Everyone is his or her own individual. Everyone has personal strengths that manifest on one’s own time and season. If you don’t have deep powers of listening and receptivity, you’ll never know what those strengths are. You need to meet people where they are. That comes from deep listening.” Liz adds, “We need to be receptive to what people need on the daily level, which is always changing.” MAX’S TIPS FOR ALLOWING THE BEST-CASE SCENARIO TO HAPPEN “Whether it’s an important enrollment call, a class, or a Wellness Consult, it all comes down to how we listen. The best possible outcome is always right there. It’s waiting for us. We can’t project our own ideas, thoughts, and expectations onto a situation, because then there’s no chance of that best possible situation happening.” Take the time to prepare. Without thorough preparation, the best-case scenario won’t happen. Put your time and energy into things you can control. Don’t try to force things—you can’t make someone believe or think something they don’t want to. Results not typical. Average earnings are less.
