Balance and Blessings
When Mark and Lindsey Elliott saw Mark ’ s brother and his wife using dōTERRA essential oils on their children , they were instantly intrigued . Mark and Lindsey had been trying to live a healthier , more natural lifestyle , and they felt that essential oils were just the product to help them in their endeavor . Soon after learning of dōTERRA , Lindsey attended her first essential oils class and was amazed with the information that she heard and the testimonials that were shared . Lindsey got a good research book about essential oils a couple months later and began to see the true value of the oils for herself .
For the first year of enrollment , Lindsey would share the oils with her friends and family casually , but didn ’ t know much about the business opportunity associated with dōTERRA . It wasn ’ t until she went to a class taught by some Wellness Advocates from Ohio , her future upline , that she was fully introduced to the business . Lindsey says , “ We saw that sharing came pretty naturally for us , and we made the decision to be intentional in how we shared and how we built our business so that it could be something that also provided financial benefit .”
As parents of five children under the age of eight , adding the business into their life required hard work and sacrifice to create the right balance , but they were excited by the opportunities ahead of them . Though Mark was working fulltime , he would come home and watch the children and do at-home work so that Lindsey could teach classes and focus on dōTERRA , and in between homeschooling their children , Lindsey would use daily quiet time hours to diligently build the business . They enjoyed the blessings that came from their hard work and loved being able to share a product they believed in , but through it all , they never sacrificed what was most important to them — family .
Lindsey says , “ We feel like God has made it very clear to us that I ’ m a mom first . He ’ s given us our beautiful children , so that ’ s definitely our first priority . The reason that we love dōTERRA and the reason that we want it to work is because of the time freedom it offers us as a family .” Because of the increased timefreedom Lindsey and Mark experienced through the business , Lindsey wanted to connect and share with other moms so that they could experience the same liberties . Now , Lindsey and Mark ’ s team is mainly composed of moms who are seizing the business opportunity and inspiring families .
When Mark and Lindsey started the business , their motivation was to share the oils so that their family and families around them could experience the power of essential oils . Now that they have seen this come to fruition , their dreams have expanded , and they are working toward an early retirement for Mark and looking forward to going on missions as a family . Lindsey says , “ dōTERRA has given us the ability to dream again . We felt like we lost the ability to say , ‘ These are the things we want in life ,’ and we didn ’ t see those dreams as possibilities . But now we do .”
TIPS FOR DIAMOND SUCCESS
HAVE A WHY . “ We emphasize that everyone has a Why along with other goals because there are going to be hard days ahead , days where you don ’ t want to do this . Having that Why and those goals will push you to continue on even when you don ’ t feel like it .”
STICK WITH THE BASICS . “ Always have classes and always continue to share . If you stop doing that , you are going to take a step back .”
GET EDUCATED . “ dōTERRA has so many resources out there . I used all the resources that dōTERRA offered in terms of building and sharing . Consistently learning and growing in the knowledge of the product and business will work to your benefit .”
WORK WITH YOUR TEAM . “ Once you are past the level of Elite , make sure that your builders ’ goals line up with your goals . Make sure that you don ’ t get too caught up in what you want and how to pull your leaders with you . Look toward them and see what is important to them and meet them where they are ; otherwise , it gets really frustrating and you get burnt out .”
HAVE FUN . “ Have fun with your business . Sometime you just need to take a step back from it all and remember why you joined dōTERRA .”
