LEARNING TO LEAD
Bernadeth feels fulfillment when she ’ s leading a team and mentoring others , but she wasn ’ t always a natural leader . It ’ s taken selfreflection and work on her personal journey to help her find clarity and wisdom she can share with others .
At first , essential oils were just a hobby Bernadeth did on the side . Most of her time was occupied with running a swimming school . “ My small business was my bread and butter , and essential oils were my part-time fun project .” However , as Bernadeth ’ s dōTERRA team grew , so did her responsibilities . Eventually , she felt like she couldn ’ t keep up . “ The days seemed shorter . There just weren ’ t enough hours to finish my business tasks and call the names on my potential builders list .”
Attending the dōTERRA One Convention helped Bernadeth find clarity on what was important to her . “ A year after attending convention , I went on a mission of discovery . I asked myself , What am I most passionate about ? How can I build the financial control I ’ m looking for ?” After reflecting , she decided what her next steps would be . “ Within a few weeks , I made the decision to close my business and devote 100 percent of my passion , time , and efforts to building my dream team with dōTERRA .”*
Though Bernadeth knew she was making the right decision , challenges
