THE RIGHT MINDSET
NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND

In October 2017 , Miranda Hebert was a solid Gold . She was earning bonuses and feeling good . Then her husband lost his job unexpectedly . “ My income couldn ’ t cover our bills ,” she remembers , “ but I never felt nervous about how we would get through it . I immediately became laser focused on what I could do to help our family .”

She studied her back office and started to work on different strategies to grow her dōTERRA ® business . In November 2017 , she became Mississippi ’ s first dōTERRA Diamond . “ I hit Diamond again in February 2018 . The income I made from my dōTERRA business allowed us to enjoy the holidays without stressing over finances .”* That ’ s when Miranda ’ s focus started to shift . She began to see the control and possibilities of building her business to greater heights .
“ I ’ m so thankful for that moment of struggle . I needed a push to light a fire that would open my eyes to the opportunity I ’ d been given .” Miranda knew she had the chance to completely change her family ’ s lives and it was
“ With every part of my being , I believe there ’ s no hurdle that can ’ t be overcome . Each obstacle is an opportunity to learn a lesson . Any issue we face has been overcome by someone else who refused to settle .”— Miranda Hebert
time to take advantage of it . So she went for it with everything she had .
This habit of tackling adversity is a pattern in Miranda ’ s life . Every time she ’ s encountered an obstacle , she looked at it as an opportunity . She faced the struggle , learned valuable lessons , and moved forward . “ I know there ’ s always a way to get to the finish line , one way or another ,” she says .
Before she began building , Miranda worked as a dietitian . With three young children , she found it difficult to balance her career and family life . Her job was in jeopardy because she often had to miss work to care for her children when things came up . “ I felt helpless . We had no family nearby , and the career that I ’ d worked

so hard to achieve was slowing slipping away .”
Faced with these difficult circumstances , Miranda made the decision to start her own private practice , Mission Nutrition , LLC . Around that same time is when she reconnected with an old friend from high school who introduced her to dōTERRA essential oils . She didn ’ t know anything about essential oils and had no intention of building a business around them . “ Never did I dream I would even consider this kind of work ,” she says with a laugh .
When Miranda looks back , she sees how far she ’ s come and how much she has grown . “ I can honestly say that I wouldn ’ t have truly lived my life to the fullest if this business opportunity with dōTERRA hadn ’ t come into my life . It has made me realize my potential and what I want to create in this world .”
Now , Miranda doesn ’ t have to worry that taking care of her family will jeopardize her career . Together with her husband and children , she travels the world , creating memories that will last a lifetime .*

THE RIGHT MINDSET

If Miranda could go back and teach herself one lesson , it would be to treat her business like a business . Here are some of her suggestions for taking things to the next level :

2

Pick a businessbuilding system and stick with it . Dive into each step yourself so you can teach others to do the same . Don ’ t try to reinvent the wheel .

3

Set boundaries and have crucial conversations with new builders from the start .

4

Match the energy and dedication given to you by your leaders . It ’ ll only hurt you in the long run if you drag others along who aren ’ t as committed and capable as you are .
