The second great challenge for Carlee was staying true to herself. She explains,“ We have an amazing system in place to build our dōTERRA businesses. However, I believe it is incredibly important to find our own flavor and what works best for us, and to resist comparing our journey to anyone else’ s.” As she has found her own path to success and has watched her team members do the same, Carlee has gained a strong belief that a critical component is finding what works best for each person and staying true to that uniqueness.
Facing these two challenges were essential steps for Carlee in pushing past the rank of Gold. Digging deeper into personal development than she ever had before, Carlee finally hit Diamond; however, maintaining her new rank came with challenges, and she slipped back to Gold. Rather than making excuses about why she wasn’ t maintaining rank, she looked deeper into herself and her beliefs.“ Ultimately I knew that I wasn’ t maintaining Diamond because, on some level,
I didn’ t believe I was worthy of it. There were more stories to dig out and rewrite.”
And that is just what she did. Rather than allowing herself to blame her team members when they didn’ t show up in the way she hoped, or giving herself excuses about her personal life— she had just given birth to a new child— Carlee took ownership of her business and her success. She became determined to focus on herself and her energy. She decided to take control of her actions and her results, and the outcome speaks for itself.“ Once I was able to clear out much of the resistance and feelings of unworthiness, I was then able to rise back up to Diamond.”
“ I had the choice to either do the work and grow into my dreams, or walk away and never achieve them. The latter wasn’ t an option for me.”— Carlee
