“Don’t waste time trying to be like
others and doing things their way.
Religiously following leaders and
simply attempting to mimic them
isn’t the answer. There isn’t a one-
way-fits-all in our business—go out,
make meaningful connections, try
new things, and always work on
developing as a person while still
being true to yourself.”—Tjaša Šercer

particular became her qualifiers and
greatest friends, improving workflow

LEADER LIFE LESSONS
Managing any kind of business is seldom simple. It takes consistent effort,
perseverance, and no small amount of time. Tjaša has experienced these,
and she wants to help others make it through. Some of her main takeaways
as she has grown into a leader are:
• “Learn how to manage your time, how to plan, how to commit to only
what matters, and how to say no.”
• “Never consider the most important people you should learn from to be
the ones with the biggest social media followings. Sometimes, you can
learn more from someone in your own life.”
• “Refrain from judging others for unimportant things, like what enrollment
kit they choose or how much they spend. Dig deeper to see if someone is
truly passionate about oils and what potential they have.”
doesn’t try to change anyone else—or
wait around for them to do so. This
would have saved time and taken away
a fair bit of frustration.”
One such relationship Tjaša developed
was with another mother, who had two
little boys and barely enough money
to handle the bills. She enrolled with
a single oil because she couldn’t afford
more. “I got to know her as a person
and saw her amazing potential,” Tjaša
remarked. “She was a hard worker,
stayed positive constantly, and had a
heart of gold. She loved the oils from
day one. I made extra efforts to include
her at events and worked to develop
her potential, her way of doing things,
as a builder and a leader. Today,
she’s one of the strongest members
of my team!”
Tjaša knows that people have their
own ways of doing things, their own
strengths and skills to bring to the table.
“We are all different, and the amazing
thing about a dōTERRA ® business is
that everyone can find and utilize those
differences for success. Leaders have
the most incredible opportunity to be
guides and help others develop their
true potential while we also work on
ourselves and grow with the business.”
