NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND

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 .”
