NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND

Excitement for the Future

Miki Yamashita was impressed by dōTERRA products from her first experience with them , and she quickly agreed to enroll . As much as she enjoyed being a product user , however , Miki felt reluctant to begin a business venture . She explains , “ I didn ’ t have any interest in MLMs , and I was satisfied with using the products .”

One day , Miki ’ s enroller said to her , “ Miki , I know you can become Silver !” This surprised Miki because she had only casually shared the products with her friends and family . She recalls , “ I didn ’ t realize I was already in a position to earn a commission . I became more interested in the business and decided to learn more . I discovered that dōTERRA is different from other MLMs . I thought there was no reason to say no to the dōTERRA opportunity after learning about the wonderful system .” For Miki , the realization that the dōTERRA business is focused on people rather than money was key .
Miki is grateful for the changes she has seen in her life thanks to the dōTERRA products , as well as her business . She had struggled with health challenges , and she feels the essential oils and other products have helped her achieve better health . She has also noticed a shift in her mindset since she began her business . She says , “ I am not married , I don ’ t have children , and I didn ’ t work for a stable company in the past , so I always had a fear of the future . Through my success with the dōTERRA business , I have found many friends and I ’ m now excited about the future .” Miki has found new confidence and growth .
As Miki learns more about the products and the business , she is always eager to share this with her team . Whether she has attended a training or event , or has learned something new from her mentors , she makes certain to share that with her downline . She says , “ People around you are a reflection of yourself . It is impossible to motivate your downline to build if you are not doing the work yourself . Share your knowledge with them , and do small things consistently .”
Staying consistent in the small , basic actions is what helped Miki reach Diamond . In fact , when she first set the goal to achieve Diamond , she wasn ’ t even fully invested in her business . She remembers , “ I attended a workshop where I was asked which rank I ’ d like to achieve and when . At the time , I had no intention to build a business , but I had to write something , so I wrote , ‘ I will be Diamond in two years .’ For some reason , this made me become serious about it and pay attention to the deadline I set . Saying your goals out loud and writing them down is so important .”
Now that she has achieved her goal of hitting Diamond , Miki has discovered there is so much more in store for her . “ I realize there are many more things I can do and need to do . I want my team members to become Diamonds , and I feel that I need to set higher goals . Being a Diamond is just a transition . I am excited to continue growing and sharing .”

THE PRODUCT . “ I think the best way to introduce someone to the product is to allow them to experience it by holding the product , smelling it , and taking it internally when applicable . I take dōTERRA products with me every day , I express how much I love these products to people around me , and I share unique ways to use them .”
YOUR STRENGTHS . “ Each person has different strengths , so it is very helpful when my team members are able to help in an area where I have a weakness . There is a limit to what one person can do , but we are able to help and contribute to each other in this business . I am so grateful for those who have helped me .”
THE DIFFERENCE . “ I think many people instantly think , ‘ Oh , a pyramid scheme ,’ when they hear the term ‘ MLM .’ dōTERRA is different from other MLMs , and we need to help people understand this . The first step is to understand the dōTERRA system , and then it is up to them to decide if they want to do it or not .”
