THE Unicorn Recipe

When Amanda attended convention in 2016 , she had no idea what awaited her there . At the time , Amanda was a store manager who didn ’ t have much time for her dōTERRA ® business . She ’ d held one class and wasn ’ t sure how much time she could commit to building , but she decided to attend one day of convention . What happened next was unexpected .
Amanda remembers , “ In the first hour of convention , I was sitting there thinking , How do I go all in ?” She laughs about her reaction now , but continues , “ I knew I needed to be all-in with dōTERRA . I knew this was the company for me .”
Since her lifechanging experience at convention , Amanda has given herself to her business fully and embraced all the ups and downs that come with it . One of her greatest challenges came when she participated in Diamond Club during 2020 . While Diamond Club presented plenty of its own challenges , Amanda was reaching for Diamond in a year of unprecedented changes during the pandemic . As she navigated the ins and outs of doing her business completely virtually , Amanda felt how important it was for her to keep going . She remembers , “ Not only did I want to help my team win in their businesses so they could provide for their families , but we also needed to show up for our customers — new and old — more than ever .” Though she says the Diamond Club season was one of the hardest things she ’ s done in her dōTERRA journey so far , Amanda is grateful for how it helped her grow . “ It helped shape me as a leader , helped my team step into leadership roles , and helped all our businesses explode ,” she says .
Achieving the rank of Diamond gave Amanda new insights about what it means to be a dōTERRA leader . She says , “ I used to think some people were just lucky , so they made it to the top ranks of Diamond and above . They were like unicorns to me . But now that I ’ ve actually arrived here at Diamond , I ’ ve have learned that the ‘ unicorns ’ are just people like you and me .” Amanda has realized the leaders she used to think were “ lucky ” are merely people who show up and do the work every day . “ Showing up authentically , being anchored in why you ’ re here , and going all in with your time and energy — that ’ s the unicorn recipe .”
