REACHING HIGHER TO Inspire
Brittany McDonald had been in the fitness and health industry for many years teaching classes and managing her own fitness business. Because of her passion for wellness, Brittany started looking for natural solutions that could enhance the health of her clients and her family. When her friend, Ange Peters, asked her if she wanted to attend a dōTERRA class, the response was an immediate yes. It only took a waft of Peppermint for her to realize that she was hooked. By the end of the class, she walked out with her very first dōTERRA kit and a brand new business.
The business slowly began to grow as she organically used and shared the oils. Oftentimes, it would even be her friends and clients that would come to her with essential oil questions. When family and friends noticed a difference in her son’ s health, they wanted to know how, and when Brittany would diffuse Peppermint and Wild Orange during her classes, they wanted to learn what the oils did. Eventually, this increasing interest encouraged Brittany to share more, and she began giving out samples at classes and holding a special essential oils lesson after fitness classes for those who were interested. The more Brittany shared the health benefits with others, the more she saw that she was helping people live healthier and happier.
Brittany made it her priority to routinely hold classes, meet one-on-one, followup, and put people first no matter the rank she was at, which helped her business steadily grow. Not long after she reached Platinum, her upline leader, Rich Higby, had her set a Diamond date( the date she would be Diamond). After she set the date for a few months out, she realized that Diamond was closer than she thought, and she gave it all she had. She says,“ Once I set my Diamond date, I told my leaders what my plans were and was very clear as to what my goal was and what I saw in each of them. My team and I went back to the basics. I focused on sustaining my events, upping my classes, and reaching down below my first and second levels to support and develop them as leaders and to aid them with whatever they needed.” These efforts
MAKING A SOLID FOUNDATION
allowed Brittany to hit Diamond a month earlier than expected.
Though achieving Diamond felt good, it was the aftereffects that felt even better. Brittany says,“ There were so many rank advancements on my team and that actually made me more excited than when I hit Diamond.” With each step forward, Brittany is motivated by the ability to help others reach their dreams and to show them that they can live their lives in a way that makes them happiest.
Now that Brittany has hit Diamond, she continues to reach higher so that she can help others experience her same joy. Brittany’ s husband, Kyle, has also joined the business, and together, they continue to see great growth and experience many blessings throughout their journey. Not only have the oils helped their children in a time of need, but the business has given Brittany and Kyle a little more time and financial freedom to be with their children, and has allowed them to personally grow while helping others to do the same.
HAVE A MENTOR.“ Find somebody that can act as a support system in your upline, and connect with them on a regular weekly or biweekly basis.”
SET LONG-TERM AND SHORT-TERM GOALS.“ Know what you would like to see happen, why you want to achieve it, how you want it to change your life, and be really clear about how it fits into your life and how much time you have and want to commit to it. Then, work with your upline to figure out how you can best use your time.”
BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE.“ Get better at forming relationships and putting yourself out there. Be intentional about listening to what people say and caring about them. Share what you are doing naturally.”
FORM DAILY HABITS.“ Pick three things that you can do every day in your dōTERRA business that can keep you moving forward. Even if you have only 15 minutes, you can make sure that you do follow-ups or get on the phone and share the oils with somebody. As long as you are consistent, it will produce incredible results.”
