For Conrad and Lilian , the journey to Diamond has been one of successes , setbacks , and learning experiences . “ I like to think of growth as a road , and a leader ’ s road is sure full of growth ,” Lillian laughs . “ The faster you grow , the more bumps and potholes you will encounter closer together in a short amount of time .” During those hard times , Lilian reaches for inspiration to help her see the bigger picture . “ One of my personal favorites is found in Colossians 3:23 which states : ‘ Whatever you do , do your work heartily , as for the Lord .’”
Building a dōTERRA business has been a blessing for Lillian and her family , but it has also been a workout and a challenge . “ With each period of new growth in life we are presented with new problems that need to be addressed and worked through .” During these times Conrad and Lillian suggest sitting down and refocusing . “ Look at what and where you are pouring your time and energies into , and then decide if that activity is building up your family and your team or if you need to drop it .”
Another strategy that Lillian finds herself turning to often is to delegate parts of her load so she doesn ’ t get too overwhelmed . “ When I am overwhelmed , I just spin my wheels , and go nowhere ! We need to delegate ! When we partner with others , we can make a bigger impact . It can make a difference for others as we allow them to bring their talents to the table .” Lillian reminds builders that you don ’ t need to be the one to do it all . “ Choose what you are really good at and begin to slowly delegate your other tasks . This will look absolutely different for everyone .”
By focusing on her unique gifts and talents , Lillian has allowed herself to be stretched in ways she never would have imagined . “ Allow yourself to be you but also be teachable and willing to take advice . Avoid comparison at all costs . Comparison immobilizes us and makes us useless at helping others .” Lillian applies these same principles when working with her team . “ Allow your team members to come , grow , and learn as they are . You will see them shine in the gifts God blessed them with . I love to see personalities come to life and people embrace and polish their talents and allow themselves to grow , flourish , and shine .”
