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 .”
