We Are a Movement
Every business owner knows there ’ s no success without sacrifice . Michelle discovered sacrifice leads to success early on in building her business . When she first started building , her focus was to help develop the dōTERRA ® Brazilian market , which required her to travel back and forth from the United States to Brazil . Not only was this a huge time commitment , but Michelle was also leaving her new baby and husband at home every time she had to travel .
Despite what was required of her , Michelle ’ s commitment never wavered . She says , “ I never considered giving up . This time was stressful but rewarding , because I was building flexibility and financial stability for my family . The time and effort I invested was worthwhile .” Michelle reaped the rewards of her efforts when she became a Founder of dōTERRA Brazil .
All her experiences on the road to Diamond have given Michelle the perspective she needed to build a strong team . Most importantly , Michelle chooses to put her energy into activities that help her business grow , and she encourages her team to do the same . “ It ’ s important to define what activities are bringing growth and success while eliminating those creating unnecessary pressure or inadequate results ,” she says . “ I have learned to accept and appreciate both success and failure regarding the growth of my team . You can ’ t dwell on the past , as it ’ ll only impair your future success .”
Along with her ability to accept both success and failure , Michelle believes she ’ s grown her business by always keeping her focus on people . No matter what she ’ s doing — teaching a class , sharing the essential oils , helping her team , or simply having a conversation with someone — she puts people first .
While Michelle ’ s goal has been to build a successful business , her prioritization of people and their needs has pushed her dōTERRA business further than she ever imagined . She says , “ We ’ re more than just an essential oil company . We are a movement that transforms people ’ s lives using the gifts of nature .”
