Cindy Brown’ s nephew, Matthew
Hall, asked her if she had heard about essential oils. Her response was an enthusiastic,“ Yes, I love essential oils!” Cindy’ s excitement stemmed from her experience with two oils that she had used on her family for almost 20 years. When her nephew handed her an open bottle of Peppermint oil from dōTERRA, her airways cleared, her senses came alive, and she knew that there was something extraordinary about the oil.
Cindy loved using dōTERRA essential oils and was fully on board with the business aspect of sharing. However, as a person who puts a lot on her plate, it was six months before she enrolled, and then another six months before she held her first essential oils class. Cindy’ s sister-inlaw, Suzanne, became her mentor. When Cindy began sharing, fears came up. Suzanne would say,“ Take courage, Cindy, take courage.” Cindy learned the power of shifting her beliefs and perceptions.
Because of Cindy’ s growth during those formative months, she began to experience a profound life change. She says,“ When you feel like someone has your back, you have the courage to grow, and doing things that would ordinarily be impossible, become possible.”
The driving motivation in her business is to believe in others so that they too can achieve their dreams. Cindy says,“ It is my heart’ s mission to help those who don’ t believe in themselves yet. If they’ re wanting to have a more fulfilled life, and they’ re willing to do the personal work to shift their mindset and‘ take courage’ to change, I want to invest in them.”
Another of Cindy’ s motivating beliefs is service. She says,“ With dōTERRA, I wake up every day and strive to become a strong servant leader. I ask myself the question,‘ Who can I serve today?’ I seek out people who are searching for wellness.” Cindy’ s ability to put others before herself allows her to feel a greater connection to her work, and gives her the perspective to genuinely look for the needs of others.
Having worked for 15 years as a professional photographer while raising a large family of her own, Cindy appreciated the full vision of dōTERRA. She was keenly aware of the hours and challenges that it took to build and maintain a successful photography business while tending to the needs of her family. At 51, she never thought she would be looking at another career until she began to share the oils. She soon realized that this was an opportunity to bring others financial health as well as physical and emotional health. She says,“ I honestly believe dōTERRA’ s direct sales plan is inspired. It helps us become the best version of ourselves. It compels us to help everyone around us become successful in every aspect of their lives.”
Cindy’ s husband, Don, has been a strong believer in her. He encourages her on the journey, and he contributes to the success of their business. Cindy says,“ My husband has recently joined in, helping me strategize the business building. He helps many people reach their Power of 3 bonus. It is wonderful to have his full support and an extra set of eyes to catch the details. The day we can retire Don from his job, which demands a lot of travel and time away from home, is on the horizon, and it is just a part of the impetus for continuing to move forward.”
Cindy’ s path to Diamond opened her to a great self-discovery that extends past the physical rewards. She says,“ Building dōTERRA allowed me to face my own fears, take courage, and overcome many of my personal weaknesses. I knew that if I totally committed and became teachable and coachable, I’ d be able to hit Diamond and beyond. I have already become a much better version of myself. I love the people around me with a much greater depth. Apart from my family, there is truly nothing greater in my life than what dōTERRA has given me. It has allowed an opening of self-discovery and empowerment that I want every person to be able to experience.”
