“ We are better versions of ourselves today than we were at the beginning, and we’ re growing every day.”
Dawn and Marcello Calvinisti had a seemingly perfect introduction to dōTERRA— Dawn’ s sister, Holly Lo, is a Presidential Diamond and Canadian Founder. However, when Holly first spoke to them about dōTERRA, Dawn had no interest. Marcello was excited about the opportunity, while Dawn avoided even using the oils. When she finally tried the essential oils, she was shocked. She recalls,“ Our oldest daughter had struggled with certain health-related issues for years, and after using a diffuser, her health improved. I tried to give credit to anything else, but there was really only one answer.” After this experience, Dawn was committed to learning all she could and sharing the oils.
As they’ ve built their business, Marcello and Dawn have been grateful to have Holly and Gabriel Lo as their immediate upline and family.“ There is a saying that says,‘ True friends say good things behind your back and say bad things to your face.’ Holly and Gabe have built us up while we grew into our leadership roles, but they’ ve also pointed out with love where we need to grow, and that has radically changed us and our ability to do this business.” They are also grateful to have an amazing downline team and leaders.
In addition, Marcello and Dawn are thankful to have the support of their three children. Their children love and use the oils, and they always ask Dawn and Marcello how their business is doing and what their goals are. They say,“ It’ s really amazing to share our goals with our kids and have them be excited about the future.”
When Dawn and Marcello first started their dōTERRA business, Marcello took on extra work around the house and more responsibilities with their children so Dawn could travel to grow their business. Now, as they work in their business together, they are able to spend more time as a family. Marcello has been able to quit his job to work on their dōTERRA business, and they all road trip across the US together to go to convention and leadership retreats. This business has given them more financial and time freedom than they ever dreamed of.
As they have built more financial and time freedom for their family, Marcello and Dawn have also felt drawn to give back to others in powerful ways. Marcello moved to Canada from Guatemala in his twenties, and thanks to their success in their business, he has been able to return to Guatemala several times in the last few years. He even teaches dōTERRA classes while he is there!
These visits have also sparked a passion to help people in Guatemala. Dawn explains,“ Marcello has been instrumental in getting donated fire trucks and equipment to volunteer fire departments in Guatemala. He has driven the trucks all the way to Guatemala twice now. Our Why has become a desire to help support people in Guatemala with things we take for granted. We are excited about what that will look like as we explore more options for giving back.” From here, Dawn and Marcello are eager to see how else they will be able to grow and give.
GROWTH KEYS
Commit to personal development
“ Mindset really plays the biggest part. We’ ve both learned that you have to keep moving forward and taking action no matter what comes at you. Develop yourself personally if you want to go all the way.”
Be upfront and honest
“ We are very upfront with people who are considering the business. It’ s important to know that you will have to work very hard and get very little income until leadership ranks start coming into play.”
Focus on your leaders
“ On our way to Diamond, it took us a while to realize we could stop pushing ourselves and instead focus on where our leaders needed help and strengthening. Our leaders are our passion. We grow together.”
