ALL IN
Alicia Goodwin had used essential oils as a teenager, but somewhere along the way, she stopped using them. When her sister, Kim Reid, reintroduced her to essential oils, Alicia was excited to begin using them again. Alicia recalls,“ I was very keen to get my oils and use them with my family.” She knew dōTERRA oils were special from her first experience with them.
Alicia was also immediately intrigued by the business opportunity. Kim was enthusiastic about the business model, and Alicia could see that it was an incredible opportunity. However, for a period of time, Alicia held back.“ Unfortunately I am a pessimist, and I assumed the business was too good to be true. I came up with a million reasons why I could not succeed.” For the first while after starting her business, Alicia did the bare minimum, but she was still advancing in rank. This led her to reevaluate how much she was investing in herself and her business.
Alicia decided to dive in and give her best effort. She says,“ I stepped it up and started treating it like a business. I put in more time and effort, and I made a commitment to myself to work hard and not give up.” Alicia soon hit Gold, which had been her dream goal. But this helped her realize that there could be much more in store for her.“ I thought I would be happy reaching Gold, but this was just the beginning for me. I realized that if I can hit Gold, then I can hit Diamond.”
Since then, Alicia has remained dedicated to her dōTERRA business. For her, sharing is easy because she has full confidence in both the dōTERRA business opportunity and the products. She is also eager to share the time and financial freedom she has found with others. Alicia and her husband have two children, and Alicia loves the freedom she now enjoys to adjust her schedule around her family.
In addition to the constant support of her husband and children, Alicia is very grateful for encouragement and help from her sister, Kim. Alicia explains,
“ As long as you keep doing the work and don’ t quit, you can’ t fail with this business.”
“ Kim showed me that I am more than capable of being successful in a career like this. Kim has also been a leader in setting up in-depth training for dōTERRA Australia and making this information easily available. Without this, our journey would have been much more difficult.”
Just as Kim has helped Alicia drive her business, Alicia is committed to helping her own leaders and team members find success. She says,“ If I can do this, anyone can. I have no particular gift that made me successful. I just did the work, supported my leaders, and did not quit. I want everyone to find this same success.”
Alicia is now dreaming big for her own family’ s future.“ My life is unrecognizable compared to before I started my dōTERRA business. This opportunity has allowed us to ask ourselves,‘ What do we want in this life?’ This has opened so many doors and so many opportunities for us and our children— opportunities we never dared to dream of before.”

Share your experience.“ When I share the business opportunity, I share the timeframe of when I hit the ranks. They can see from my experience that it is achievable. I explain that they can do it faster or slower than I did, depending on the amount of work they are willing to put in.”
Build with those who want to build.“ Support and build the people who are moving toward you. Don’ t chase someone to do the work. If you have someone actively building the business with you, treat them like gold and help support them to succeed. In turn, they will help you back.”
Mentor your leaders.“ I feel that mentoring is the most important activity when going for Diamond. Your team is so much larger now, and you need to work closely with your leaders to make sure they are supporting their teams. Keep the energy high, and keep them motivated to reach their goals.”
