“ I ’ ve found that people do best when they feel good about themselves and their business . I try to stay positive , focus on the good , and reassure them that they ’ ll get past whatever speedbump is slowing them down and be stronger for it .” — Camille Bawcom
time , she had two young children , and her husband ’ s work schedule made keeping a daily routine difficult . She knew Diamond Club wouldn ’ t be a simple endeavor , but she saw the opportunity and decided to go for it . She started as a Silver and ended as a Platinum . “ It was the springboard for my success ,” she says . “ I challenge people to go outside their comfort zones and push their limits . That ’ s when they realize they have what it takes .”
Along the way , Camille had plenty of opportunities to push her own limits . About 21 months into building , she was determined to reach Diamond in less than two years . “ I was blinded by sparkle ,” she recalls . “ I thought my new fourth leg builder was as serious as me . I assumed that if I pushed her to Silver , she ’ d see the potential . I was wrong .” Camille invested a lot in the new leg , but shortly after that , the new Silver decided dōTERRA just wasn ’ t for her . The whole leg began to crumble . “ If I could go back , I would tell myself that building a solid fourth leg and strong foundation upfront is far more valuable than reaching a short-term goal .” Now , Camille takes the time to make sure she ’ s on the same page as her builders . When she finds people who are committed and capable , she helps them take off .
From the beginning , Camille has learned the importance of timing , both with herself and with her team . “ There are times when it ’ s okay to let things remain on autopilot and refocus your priorities to life ’ s many other blessings ,” she says . “ But when opportunity smacks you in the face , pounce on it and don ’ t let go !”
START BEFORE YOU ’ RE READY
When asked to share advice with people wanting to build a dōTERRA business , Camille ’ s answer was simple : start before you ’ re ready . “ You ’ ll never have all the answers . Timing will never be perfect . There ’ ll always be an excuse ,” she says .
