How have you learned to balance running your How has this business changed your life?
business and taking care of your family? My dōTERRA business has allowed me to truly become the
woman I always wanted to be. It’s made me grow my ability
to care for and love people, and my ability to communicate
and connect. My lifestyle today is unlike anything I could’ve
It’s always challenging to balance business and family but,
honestly, I feel that this business creates more balance than
I would have in a traditional job. We’re able to pick which
hours we work around our family’s needs. We’ve had the
flexibility to homeschool and to take our kids traveling all
over the world. I’ve even taken my daughter on four dōTERRA
Healing Hands initiatives, to Nepal, Bolivia, and Guatemala.
None of this would’ve been possible for us as a family
without dōTERRA. That said, it is a juggling act, and I’ve had
to call upon support at times from friends and family. I have
felt stretched personally, and my family has made sacrifices.
One of the best things about being a Presidential Diamond
is having the income to hire help, which makes my life much
easier to manage. This also helps me show up more for
my team without getting depleted or overwhelmed. When I
started, however, I did not have the income to do this, and
I worked many, many hours to manage my family‘s needs
and the business needs. Anything truly great in life requires
sacrifice, but the sacrifices required to build this business
are beyond worth it.
Some people don’t want to reach Presidential Diamond
because of how hard and stressful it seems. What are
the benefits of this rank? Why should someone want
to reach it?
This has actually been the least stressful rank for me
because I have the income to hire the help I need. Financial
abundance and time abundance allow you to pour into the
things your heart and soul are calling you to do.There is
so much joy and satisfaction in taking things as far as you
can and seeing what you can achieve—and even more so,
helping others achieve their highest potential.
At this stage, what motivates you to continue
building your business?

What was the biggest hurdle you overcame on the What advice would you give to someone who is trying
way to Presidential Diamond? to reach Presidential Diamond?
Before I was Presidential Diamond, there was a time when
I was waiting to do some really big things regarding sharing
my faith and humanitarian work. After some searching, I had
a spiritual awakening that prompted me to do those things
now, as they were part of my greater purpose, legacy, and
impact. Rank, status, and finances are no longer a motivator
for me. What I can do in the world, who I can help, and what I
can do to inspire others was and is deeply motivating for me. One of the things about Presidential Diamond that is more
unique than any other rank is the need to truly lead a team
of leaders. This means one cannot continue to work under
the belief that it is up to one’s self. I think one of the greatest
challenges of Presidential Diamond is how much teamwork
is involved, but it’s also the greatest joy, as you get to see so
many others step into their power and achieve success.
