3 PRACTICES FOR POSITIVE GROWTH
Relatively quickly, Renee realized her potential for success as a builder was inevitable because she was sharing a product in which she genuinely believed. While success with her other network marketing company never came to fruition, Renee had never given up on the network marketing model. She felt her previous business venture had been missing a quality product, which she found in dōTERRA.
“ I love what I get to do. I feel genuinely excited to wake up every day and get into it. This business anchors me to a purpose that is bigger than myself.”
After some initial building, Renee’ s business reached a crossroads of sorts. It was then she realized that in many aspects of her business, she had taken her hands off the wheel. Reaching for Diamond would demand recommitment and active engagement with her team again. Renee reevaluated her motivation for pursuing the business and realized that she did not want to take anything for granted. This new appreciation started her on the road to Diamond. Renee reconnected with her team, returned to the basics, and allowed herself to be vulnerable. Most of all, she focused on acting the way she thought a leader should act in order to lead her team.
Together with her husband and family, Renee decided to make the most of her experience on the road to Diamond. Reflecting on their journey, she says,“ We never wanted this to take so long that it would be like a slow drain on our family— we wanted to take massive action, to jump in, and to have the whole family on board.”
Among several motivating factors, Renee worked to achieve Diamond in hopes of setting an example for her downline. Speaking about her team, she says,“ When I started this business, I was genuinely wanting to educate people and share the oils, but the fulfillment of connection and community with smart, savvy women has been the gift within the gift and something I didn’ t even realize was going to be part of the picture.”
3 PRACTICES FOR POSITIVE GROWTH
ALIGNING.“ My advice would be to get really clear and grounded in how you align with this business. Decide that as early as possible. We all come into this with baggage and different perceptions, so it is important to be really clear about the opportunity, about what it is, and about what it isn’ t. And then just get excited.”
ACTING LIKE A LEADER.“ I just decided to act like a leader— I decided to act as if I was already Diamond. So much of leadership has nothing to do with rank; it is just setting an example and modeling behavior. It is consistency.”
OVERCOMING FEAR.“ In the beginning, I was so dialed into the vision of what I was stepping into with my dōTERRA business. And that was coupled with complete fear. I think the fear is actually a good sign— if something scares you a little bit, that’ s a good sign because it is actually going to invigorate you and stretch you to grow in your life.”
