No one builds to Presidential Diamond alone , but it ' s important to understand it ’ s ultimately your business , and you must respect the fact that others are on their own journeys . My enroller is a Premier , and I am grateful to her every day for sharing dōTERRA with me . Justin Harrison changed my life when I saw the way he shared his passion in the basement of an old folks ’ home in a small town in Minnesota , with only seven people in attendance . Lil Shepherd was the upline who “ found ” me and made sure I had the friendship and support I needed along the way . Dr . Hill was the perfect guardian of the culture when he looked in my eyes the first time we met and explained how dōTERRA was different from all the other companies I had previously experienced . Emily Wright has believed in me since the first day I met her , and over the years she has pushed , supported , and trusted me . Most importantly , I would like to thank my extraordinary team , especially my qualifiers — Dr . Laurie Langfitt , Dr . Lynn Thompson , Paulla Davis , Nancy Johnson , Alicia Torres Lisabeth , and Sandy Kalisch . They have become family and are my best friends in life .
Some people don ’ t want to reach Presidential Diamond because of how much work it involves . What are benefits you ’ ve seen ?
During my journey to Presidential Diamond , I ’ ve never felt the kind of stress I had in my college teaching position . Year after year , my life passed by , and my daughters were growing up with a mom who was never fully present . One of the most stressful things was the constant preparation of lessons , and
I was in disbelief when I realized the most effective way to build a dōTERRA business is to teach the same introductory class repeatedly to new people . This was truly a teacher ’ s dream come true .
I ’ ve worked hard in both careers , but the personal and financial rewards of building to Presidential Diamond with dōTERRA in just eight years far exceed those of my teaching career .*
What motivates you to continue building your business ?
It ’ s extremely rewarding to be able to use my hard-earned wisdom and experience to inspire and support others who have the desire to profoundly change their lives the way I have . Everything I would do in the retirement of my dreams , I get to do daily in my dōTERRA business . I support others , especially women , as they find their voice and their freedom , I travel and have great times with great friends , and I continue to learn and grow all the time .
How has your dōTERRA business changed your life ?
dōTERRA has changed my life in every way possible . When I started my dōTERRA business , I had just lost my home during the financial and housing collapse , and I was drowning in credit card , IRS , and student loan debt . If that wasn ’ t bad enough , I was 54 and had no retirement , so my future looked dismal .
It ’ s been a long road , but I ’ ve been able to pay off all the debt , and my future looks bright because — in addition to the substantial continuing income I ’ ve built with dōTERRA — I have also started investing for retirement and future generations of my family .* This is something that just a short time ago seemed completely out of reach .*
In the beginning , my Why was all about survival and paying off debt . Now , it is much bigger than my personal needs and is all about helping others realize their potential as far as their health , their dreams , and their lives . I ’ m so happy to share that both my daughters , Alicia Torres Lisabeth and Gabriela Torres Falk , have transitioned from professional careers to their own dōTERRA businesses , and it ’ s become our family legacy . We are living the lives we create for ourselves , which is the true American dream .
