NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND

Julie Barron

IOWA CITY , IOWA , USA
“ What I ’ ve realized over the years is that when we truly care for each other and pour into the success of everyone involved , we all win .” — Julie Barron

Julie believes strongly that what her team accomplishes together has made all the difference in her dōTERRA ® journey . She strives to make her team a community , where collaboration and support are key . Her team members teach classes together , cheer each other on , and share resources . In many ways , they ’ ve become more than business partners ; they ’ ve formed deep friendships .

Julie feels this level of trust comes from their shared expectations . “ We started out with the expectation of this being heart-centered work . We knew we all thrived when we worked together , when we were taken care of , and when we shared intimately with one another .” Ultimately , Julie ’ s genuine investment in her team members has helped her build to where she is today .
But it hasn ’ t always been an easy journey . Julie knows the disappointment that comes when building your team doesn ’ t go as planned . “ So often we lose faith when people step away from their business , and it impacts ours . We often second-guess and blame ourselves , which can cause us to shut down .” Julie has learned from experience that it ’ s better to be patient with yourself . Focusing on what ’ s working and putting your efforts behind that , will help you find your way . “ Your positivity is contagious . And when you get your energy right , you ’ ll find amazing solutions pop up where you least expect them .”
She experienced this firsthand just four years into building her dōTERRA business . Julie was 20 weeks pregnant and working towards Platinum when she discovered she had renal cell carcinoma . After taking some time to reflect , Julie realized that she could either view this as a challenge or a unique opportunity . With the loving support of her dōTERRA team , Julie focused on the positive , and continued moving forward . Two weeks after surgery , she celebrated with her team at convention . “ I knew seeing my people was exactly what I needed to fill my cup back up . It was the sweetest celebration , full of so many hugs and tears . Two months after that , we hit Platinum together . And two months after that — with a tiny healthy baby — we hit Diamond .”
Julie believes that when you invest in your team members and believe in yourself , anything is possible . “ Don ’ t let anyone tell you you ’ re too tired or too busy for your dreams . If they light you up , nothing can stand in your way .”
FOCUS ON YOUR ENERGY
Julie understands the importance of one ’ s energy . “ Your energy announces you before you enter the room . If you can keep that in perspective , your business will thrive — and you will too . When we maintain an energy of positivity , joy , growth , and abundance , everything around us expands with it . When we feel small , afraid , and unsure , we allow scarcity to run the show . Celebrate the success of others and know that your success is coming , too .”
