NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS

Kimball & Yuko Shute

JAPAN

A LIGHT IN THE DARK

Kimball and Yuko Shute ’ s dōTERRA journey began when Kimball ’ s father invited Kimball to go to the wellness center with him to meet Boyd Truman . Boyd then gave Kimball ’ s father a back treatment with essential oils , which Kimball had no experience with . When Boyd dropped one drop of Peppermint oil into Kimball ’ s hand , however , his entire outlook changed . Kimball remembers , “ I was blown away ! I couldn ’ t believe how powerful that one drop of oil was . I fell in love with the oils immediately , so I ordered a kit .” He later told his wife that he had purchased some essential oils , but neither of them knew how much those oils would change their lives .

Shortly after they were introduced to dōTERRA , Kimball and Yuko moved back to Japan . They began sharing there , and they feel blessed to have had Boyd ’ s support and mentoring throughout their journey . While growing a business presents a myriad of challenges , Kimball and Yuko believe the greatest challenge for them was within themselves . Kimball explains , “ Looking back , the biggest challenge was to change what was inside of our minds and hearts . One of the biggest blessings of dōTERRA is being able to associate with other leaders who have fantastic , positive outsets on physical , mental , and financial health . We let this positivity rub off on us until we were able to change our fundamental way of thinking .” Now , Kimball and Yuko focus on maintaining a positive mindset as they approach both the joys and struggles of their business .
While Kimball and Yuko have experienced incredible changes in their own lives thanks to dōTERRA products , as well as the business , they feel most excited about the changes they see in other people ’ s lives . They love seeing their team advance . They say , “ There is nothing more satisfying in our dōTERRA business than seeing our team leaders achieve a rank and be recognized for it . Your own personal rank is fun and satisfying , but your group leader ’ s rank is the absolute high thrill and motivator !” As they work to help their team succeed , they have found consistent , effective communication to be a key factor in maintaining a good team connection . Yuko has especially worked hard to build strong relationships among their team .
In addition , Kimball and Yuko are passionate about how dōTERRA is bringing positive change to people throughout the world . Kimball says , “ I had the opportunity to go to Nepal on a dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation ® expedition . Immediately upon arriving , I could see and feel the massive impact that dōTERRA is having in regions where oil is produced . I was so impressed with the partners that dōTERRA has , including CHOICE Humanitarian and Days for Girls . We are proud to be part of dōTERRA and dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation as they partner with people who deliver love and light in the dark , dark places of the world .” As they look to their future , Kimball and Yuko are excited to continue sharing light through dōTERRA .
ESSENTIAL GROWTH COMPONENTS
