NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND
Ivette Rodriguez
KISSIMMEE , FLORIDA , USA
“ There are always two options : fight for your dream — for the reason you started — or quit . It ’ s a lot more fun and satisfying to fight for your dreams .”— Ivette Rodriguez
When Ivette started her dōTERRA ® business , she knew it would be challenging . Before , she ’ d always worked for herself , and she knew building a team would be a new experience . There have been ups and downs along the way , but Ivette has found working with her team members to be an incredibly rewarding experience .
One of her priorities is to “ lift them , cheer them up , remind them why they started , and help them make a plan to achieve their goals .” Ivette learns so much from her team members and is inspired by them every day . It ’ s her firm belief that when they work together , they can reach new heights . “ Every time I cheer them up , I ’ m also cheering myself up .”
Though she loves cheering on her team , Ivette has also come to realize you can ’ t force builders to reach their potential . In the end , it ’ s up to them . She says , “ You can spend so much time and energy trying to show them what they ’ re capable of and what they can achieve , but if they don ’ t make the decision , nothing will happen .” You can still support everyone on your team , but Ivette recommends putting “ most of your energy into people who have the same vision you do .” When you do that , you ’ ll be able to progress together farther and faster .
On top of working with her team , Ivette has mastered essential skills that have helped her progress . Incredibly , she reached the rank of Diamond in four months ! With such rapid growth , Ivette says many have asked her , “ Do you ever sleep ?” While there have been times she ’ s felt exhausted or even considered quitting , Ivette believes discipline and organization have been the key to her success . She uses these skills in her business and home . To keep life running smoothly , Ivette says , “ My family always works together as a team .” With this support , Ivette has managed being a mother , wife , and business owner .
Ivette knows success is possible for everyone and , in the face of determination , nothing can stop you from reaching your goals . She says , “ If something is really important to you , you can do it . Just work for it and surround yourself with good people — people who will only bring out the best in you .” She also recognizes the importance of bringing your unique talents to the table : “ Be you ! Be original . Don ’ t act how you ’ re ‘ supposed ’ to act . Show your true self .” When you ’ re authentic to yourself and rely on your team , the sky is the limit .
More challenges await ahead , but Ivette ’ s team — her husband , children , and leaders — keeps her going . She ’ s convinced that in this industry , you can have a business that helps others , which is what helps her move forward with positivity and purpose .
QUESTIONS FOR A NEW BUILDER
When Ivette starts working with a new Wellness Advocate , she asks him or her a series of questions to help her understand the person better .
• What do you expect from this opportunity ?
• Where do you want to be in a couple months ? A year ?
• What are your dreams for this business ?
Ivette believes these questions are invaluable , because you ’ ll know your builder ’ s expectations , goals , and purpose . She says , “ This is the key for whenever someone is struggling .” When you know these things about your leaders , you ’ re better prepared and informed on how to help them stay motivated when things get tough .
