Keep Gardening
“ Building a business isn ’ t for the faint of heart . It ’ s not a get-rich-quick endeavor either . It takes time , patience , consistency , and grit . Motivation is fleeting — it takes discipline . You have to adapt , while also still serving your customers from a place of love . There ’ ll always be hard days , but it ’ s how you choose to respond to circumstances that matters .”— Sara Worth
Like many people , Sara was initially uninterested in building a dōTERRA ® business . But after enough time , multiple invitations from her upline , and too many incredible experiences with the products to ignore , Sara jumped in with both feet . She says , “ I couldn ’ t keep my mouth shut . I remember thinking , Everyone needs to know about these gifts of the earth !”
No one ’ s path to Diamond rank is smooth ; for Sara , it took nine years of dedication . She often reflects on how long it took and the tenacity it required to keep going when others may have given up . She says , “ I ’ m not going to lie , some days were hard because comparison crept in . I saw others growing faster than me , and I sometimes thought I was failing because I was taking longer . I ’ ve always tried to remind myself to stay in my own lane , be consistent , and show up .”
After building for five years , Sara and her husband moved to a new state where they didn ’ t know a soul . Building suddenly became a lot more difficult . Sara was used to teaching classes and hosting events with a thriving , local network that just kept growing , but now she knew no one . She realized she needed to adapt and expand her strategy . “ I decided to try a social media page . It took me a full year of daily posts before I got my first online enrollment , but it was so worth it . I love sharing online , and it ’ s changed my life and business for the better . I ’ ve connected and built relationships with the most amazing people I never would ’ ve known if it weren ’ t for social media . It ’ s been so fun to create a loving essential oil community online .”
Sara has experienced the importance of consistency . She says , “ Lead by example , continually doing the daily things that build your business and nourish your network . I love thinking of this business as a garden . You ’ re the gardener . You plant seeds with new people by sharing these products . You water and nourish your garden network by following up and serving your customers . Sometimes you ’ re called to prune your tree and remove the dead branches or leaves — the people who are no longer ordering or engaged . Sometimes you have to pluck out the weeds of your own self-limiting beliefs .”
She continues , “ It ’ s a helpful analogy for how you approach your business . When you first plant seeds , you don ’ t know which ones will shoot up , which will wither , and which will slowly take root . You nourish them all with love and compassion and create an environment where your people can blossom and start planting their own gardens . It can take a while to see the sprouts and growth from the seeds you planted , so don ’ t give up . Keep gardening .”
Grow with Your Team
“ If there ’ s anything I ’ ve learned , it ’ s that you can ’ t succeed in this business by yourself . You need other people to link arms with — who have their own goals and visions and believe they ’ re achievable . Trust that there are people out there who ’ ll catch the vision and be drawn to it . Those are your people !”
