Lucinda Martin | Denver , Pennsylvania , USA

Think like a Diamond

From the first class Lucinda ever attended , she knew she wanted to build a dōTERRA ® business . As she sat , listening and learning — before even purchasing a kit — Lucinda ’ s chest tightened with excitement . In her heart , she felt and knew this was what she wanted to do .
Lucinda loved the idea of helping others with their health , and more recently her motto has become helping others rise above mediocre . She says , “ It goes for so much more than health too ! Yes , I can offer wellness solutions , but I can also provide education on how the body works , how to manage occasional stress , and how the science backs it all up . I can help my builders rise above mediocre time management , walk them through how to deal with negativity , and so much more . Building my business has polished me in so many ways , and I want to pass that on to others !” She also passionately values having the flexibility her family wants and needs , as well as being able to generously bless others in her community .
One of the special aspects of Lucinda ’ s leadership is her creativity . Ideation is her primary strength . Lucinda ’ s builders love her ability to come up with a unique idea to get around any roadblock . One roadblock Lucinda has experienced herself was a period when someone close to her was expressing a lot of negativities about essential oils and building a business . She said , “ I made the mistake of letting it shut me down for about a month . I felt terrible , being frozen in the fear of what others think . If I could go back , I would tell myself that it ’ s really between me and God , not between me and them . Sometimes the only taste of success others get is when they take a bite out of you , but don ’ t let that bite get you down .”
