NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS
Although Cierra feels passionately that
dōTERRA is right for her, she has still
faced challenges and discouragement.
When she encounters disappointments
and setbacks, she reminds herself of her
vision and her goals. She says, “Find that
drive, dig down deep, give it to God, and
just keep going!”

RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA, USA
“Diamond takes strength, courage, determination, drive, and leadership.
I knew I had all of those in me—I just had to prove it to myself!”
Cierra is also grateful to have a wonderful
support system to lean on in hard times.
Her husband, Tanner, has always been
supportive, and she loves being able to
talk about the business with him. She is
encouraged by her dōTERRA family as
well. “Your upline trains you and gives
you the tools you need to be successful
and become a leader. Your crossline is
amazing for bouncing ideas off of and
having support outside of those on your
tree. Your downline becomes your very
best friends, and there is nothing I want
more than to see each of them reach
their goals.”
Countless Blessings
“I can’t imagine our family’s life
without dōTERRA, and I want
everyone in the world to see that too!”
A
fter Cierra VanderPol’s first
experience using dōTERRA
essential oils, she was blown away by
how well they worked. Every time she
tried another oil, she became even more
intrigued. While she had initially been
skeptical about the oils’ benefits, she
quickly changed her mind and started

using them regularly to support her
family’s health. because I loved the idea of being able to
stay home and make an income.”
At that time, however, Cierra was
completely unaware that dōTERRA
came with a business opportunity. She
had been a faithful user for a couple of
years when her childhood best friend,
Stephanie Martin, introduced her to
the business aspect. Cierra recalls, “It
opened my eyes to a whole new world
of opportunity. I didn’t know much about
network marketing, but I was open to it In addition to the financial possibilities
that appealed to Cierra, she felt
something within her that pushed her to
take advantage of this opportunity. She
says, “I always had a drive to become
something more than I was. I always felt
as if something was missing, and God
just told me to keep going.” Now, Cierra
feels she has found exactly where she
needs to be.
Cierra’s greatest motivation has always
been her family. She loves the effect
dōTERRA has had on her children. “My
kids are a product of the product! They
use the oils every day.” Thanks to their
success in the business, Cierra and
Tanner are close to reaching their goals
of being debt free and purchasing land
to raise their girls on. While building
a business can present challenges in
balancing work and family, Cierra is
committed to putting her family first.
She explains, “I struggled with always
answering business texts and messages
immediately. Then I realized I was ignoring
my family 24/7. You need to fill your own
cup before you can fill someone else’s.
Your kids need your undivided attention
at times, and that’s okay!”
As she considers the changes in her life
that have come about in the last couple
of years, Cierra is overwhelmed with
gratitude for the opportunities she has
found. “It brings me to tears to see how
dōTERRA blesses my family. It makes so
many things possible for us that were
never possible before.”
SMALL & SIMPLE STEPS
1 STRUCTURE WISELY. “Put rock stars on your frontline,
builders and sharers on your second and third lines, and users
under them. I always encourage my team to start structuring for
Premier from the get-go to prevent them getting stuck at Elite.
If you’re questioning yourself with a placement, get a second
opinion or go with your gut.”
2 FOCUS ON YOUR PASSION. “When you’re teaching classes
or planning events, focus on what you’re passionate about. We
are all different, and it takes all kinds to build a team. If you love
science, focus on that part; if you love Emily Wright and how she
makes you tear up with her passion every time she’s on stage,
focus on that. We shouldn’t all focus on the same thing because
we are all so different, and that is a great thing!”
3 KEEP IT SIMPLE. “Whether you are sharing the product or
the business opportunity, make it as simple as possible. Simplicity
is key with everything in this business! I always remember the
quote, ‘A confused customer won’t buy, and a confused builder
won’t build.’ Keep it simple, and be yourself.”
