“ Leadership is tricky , especially when the results of business partners can greatly affect you . There ’ s a fine line where we must give ownership to their actions and step back and support . Of course , that can get tricky with dōTERRA , because we ’ re dependent on their actions , but I believe this is where we ’ re most encouraged to use our relationship skills to tie it all together . Our job is to believe in them and support them where they are . When the leadership flows with a servant heart , beauty and success are sure to come .”— Liliya Zotta you have , but that isn ’ t so all the time .” She believes in helping builders on their way , but not forcing them to do it her way . “ Our expectations for them should still be clearly defined , but at the same time understand they ’ ll need to go through the experiences , learn , and grow the same way we did .”
One thing that Lilya knows for certain is the growing never stops . “ Life throws you so many curveballs . Understand there are seasons where you ’ re doing more and others where all you can do is assume the maintenance stage . I believe it ’ s all in your mind , and realizing that everyone deals with this allows your brain to calm down and give yourself grace .”
It ’ s in these hard moments that you can learn the most . “ I feel in my soul that these seasons allow us to lean into our essential oils more and learn to use them in ways we otherwise wouldn ’ t have thought to . And this , in turn , results in us being able to speak from experience on how to use dōTERRA products for the difficult seasons of life . How awesome is that ?”
At the end of the day , Lilya believes it ’ s the people who make the whole experience worth it . “ We can all agree that the dōTERRA business attracts the most incredible people — people who have the heart of service , are passionate about health and wellness , and care for others . Embrace the relationship aspect of this business . These are our people ! They ’ ve now become our friends . Our spouses are friends and our kids hang out together . I have the most incredible upline , but never disregard the cross-team friendships I ’ ve made throughout the years . I hold these very dear to my heart . We pour into one another and enrich each other ’ s lives . Friendship is always first .”
