kids were asleep—or during naptime.
“Yes, I slept a little less for sure, but I
never felt like quitting because everything
was done on my terms.”
As her team grew, she found a
community of other committed people.
They all wanted the same thing, and it
made for an eff ective support team.
For example, now they all teach one
or two classes a month and then invite
people to each other’s classes. This
allows them to maximize time and build
crossline relationships.
Eliza has learned a lot about leadership
since starting her dōTERRA business. “I
believe that eff ective leadership in this
business is showing up and doing the
work right alongside others,” she says.
“I don’t think I’ve ever asked my leaders
to do something that I wasn’t doing.”
Eliza always does the things she tells her
team to do, whether it’s teaching classes
or following up. It doesn’t matter how
busy she is—she leads by example.
The most common roadblock Eliza sees
is that people are not actually doing
PIPES. She’s at a point with her business
that she has to take her mentoring
seriously. “Utilizing the Success Check-
In tool from Empowered Success has
transformed my business. It has helped
me show up and mentor my people.”
At the end of the day, everyone has
what it takes to be successful in
dōTERRA, in Eliza’s opinion. “There’s
nothing special, diff erent, or extra-
ordinary about me,” she says. “I am just
a mom who found something I loved—
and still love—and started to share it
with everyone.” Her advice to others is,
"Focus on personal development—keep
getting better and growing—because
dōTERRA will force you to grow, whether
you embrace it or not."
This Sounds Corny, But. . . .
Eliza laughs when she gives advice. “It sounds corny, but it works,”
she says. Here are her best, not-corny-at-all pieces of advice.
1 Keep showing up and serving—you’ll fi gure out the rest along the way.
2 Stay true to who you are. Don’t compare yourself to other people.
3 Avoid overcom plicating things. Just go and do the work.
4 Walk the walk. We don’t have the luxury of telling someone what to do if
we’re not doing the work ourselves.
For everyone reading this, you can do it. You just have to do it.
“There’s no time to waste on what I haven’t done.”
