NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND

NO ONE BUILDS ALONE

ary Kay began her dōTERRA ® journey in complete denial that she was building a
business. She invited friends and family to her upline’s classes and incessantly
shared her essential oil story with those she met, yet her own business strategy was
the last thing on her mind. With time, and the encouragement of her husband and
upline, Allison Preiss, she moved to the driver’s seat of her growing dōTERRA dreams,
started teaching her own classes and, in her own words, “the rest is history.”
However, after the initial blossoming of her business, Mary Kay found herself stagnating
at the same rank. Discouragement settled in and Mary Kay wondered how she would
break the cycle of self-defeat. “I felt stuck,” she shares. “Even though I would say I wanted
to achieve Diamond rank, my mind, actions, and belief suggested otherwise. My number
one strength is Positivity, and yet during this time I felt overwhelmed, frustrated, and not
sure if I had the potential to ever achieve the next rank, let alone Diamond. My number
two strength is Futuristic; through self-development, vision, and faith, I saw myself as the
Diamond leader I wanted to be. I needed to get back to believing in myself. From there,
things began to move forward again and I became unstuck.”
However, harnessing her strengths wasn’t enough for Mary Kay to push through the
challenges that lay between her and rank advancement. Her success was ignited by
the support of her husband and her team. Once Mary Kay got clear on how her own
efforts help them achieve their dream and visions, she was a changed builder. “My
family and my team are the reasons I am here. No one builds alone.”
Today, Mary Kay stays motivated by the relationships at the heart of her business.
“My team is everything to me. We lift and support each other when we need it
most. Every team member has their own strengths and works this business in their
own way; I have enjoyed learning how unique each one of them are. I love talking
through certain obstacles and concerns with them and helping them create tangible
solutions. We may not have it all together but together we have it all.”
“The starting point
of all achievement
is desire.”

—Napoleon Hill
The same philosophy applies to Mary Kay’s adoring family. She is inspired and
supported by Steve, her husband of 38 years; their three sons; and their four
beautiful grandchildren. “I never knew how much love my heart could hold until
someone called me Nana! My mission is to share with my family the power of
creating financial freedom and achieving their dreams.”

“When I decided to do Diamond Club, I knew it required a serious commitment to travel and attend classes for others, but
there were times when it became quite a challenge. Sometimes I was gone a week at a time. There were long drives and
nights I arrived home at 2:00 in the morning. I was physically and mentally exhausted. At the time, I was only two years
into building, and I wasn’t convinced all this sacrifice was worth it. My husband was my biggest supporter and just kept
encouraging me to keep at it, have faith, and finish the program. As I look back on it now, I realize how impactful it was and
how much I grew along the way. I can’t imagine what I would be doing now were it not for dōTERRA and the growth that
took place in my organization during my Diamond Club experience."
