NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS Matt & Cardin Lopez GALLATIN, TENNESSEE, USA OIL GEEK M att and Cardin Lopez are longtime friends of Scott and Rhonda Ford, and they knew that the Fords used essential oils. Cardin never thought she would have the oils herself until Rhonda shared the oils with Cardin when their son experienced a health issue. Cardin says, “Our lives were completely turned upside down. We experienced the big ‘a-ha’ moment, and with a little encouragement from Rhonda, I committed to becoming a sharer with an intent to build.” From that moment, Cardin and Matt embarked on an incredible journey. Cardin worked in the dōTERRA business first, sharing her love of the oils with as many people as she could. When she hit Silver and the $1500 bonus, Matt began studying the compensation plan more closely. He says, “The compensation plan is as good as the oils, and that’s really saying something.” He soon joined Cardin in building their dōTERRA business. As they work together to share the oils and build their family’s future, Matt and Cardin support each other on a daily basis. Cardin feels that Matt has been her greatest mentor, and they find success in working in their own areas of genius. Cardin explains, “We have learned to divide roles based on our natural strengths, which really allows us both to work from a place of joy. I tend to do all of the social media, branding, and education on the oils, as well as leadership inspiration. Matt works individually quite often with our frontline, especially through mentoring, and he advocates and teaches a lot on the compensation plan and leadership.” 52 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2017 For the Lopez family, dōTERRA is an endeavor they take on together. Their two children love the oils, and their older son, Rhodes, already understands the power of the oils and asks for them regularly. Cardin hopes that dōTERRA impacts her children in an even greater way as well. “I hope most of all that Rhodes and Welles become leaders and developers of people. It is such an important work, and we don’t take lightly that we are raising two young men who will be powerful influences in the world for good.” Just as they hope their sons will influence the world for good, Cardin and Matt are excited about the good they can contribute to with dōTERRA. They explain, “Our Why began as financial freedom for our kids. Now, it’s more of fueling this fire of a holistic healthcare revolution and inspiring those who have been hopeless.” In addition, they love seeing the progress and development of those on their team. One of the key areas Cardin focuses on in her team is each individual’s uniqueness. Her Instagram page is called “The Oil Geek” and she has found this to be an outlet for her to be herself. She explains, “The part of myself I hadn’t known how to be or fully express came out through my obsession with oils, which turned to an obsession with people and leadership. It has opened me up to so much self-love and love for others.” As they look forward to continuing to grow together, Matt and Cardin are dedicated to helping others live in their strengths as well. “The personal development we’ve been led to has changed every facet of our lives. We stay far from scarcity, we champion everyone, and we believe in playing bigger and greater every single day.” YOUR SUCCESS CREATE YOUR SUCCESS. “We both worked in the music and entertainment industry for years before dōTERRA. The entertainment industry is full of what we refer to as ‘gatekeepers.’ No matter your talent or experience, your success can still hinge on a very few gatekeepers who decide your ultimate success. As soon as we looked at dōTERRA and realized, ‘I am the gatekeeper,’ it was game on. It’s been a beautiful realization of total empowerment.” COMMIT TO YOUR SUCCESS. “Begin—today! Don’t wait. Commit to growing as a human. Commit to the wellbeing of those around you. Then, act massively and with great joy. Your energy will be irresistible to everyone around you, and you’ll work with purpose and love at every step!” FEED YOUR SUCCESS. “Convention is like no other experience in the world. We were completely turned around after attending our first convention as Silvers, and we knew there was no looking back. We have rank advanced after every convention since then, and we’re big advocates of attending live with as many of our downline as possible.” Results not typical. Average earnings are less.
