NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS
Justin & Tara Wagner
FORT WALTON BEACH, FLORIDA, USA
One of Tara Wagner’ s life coaching clients reached out to her about getting involved in the dōTERRA business opportunity. Tara was not interested. She had been a massage therapist and used essential oils for 12 years, and thought they were mostly a bunch of hype. Her client asked if she could send her some oils to try— including a 15 mL bottle of Frankincense. Tara says,“ It was the best investment she ever made. I opened that Frankincense and I could feel the difference.” She decided to give the oils a try and was amazed by her experiences. She started sharing with her family and her clients, but it took another year before she really got involved in the business.
Self-employed her whole life, Tara was starting to hit a level of exhaustion from constantly trading hours for dollars and starting over from zero every month. The idea of residual income started to have some appeal. At first, she just focused on the Power of 3. She knew an extra $ 1,500 a month would take a lot of stress out her life. All she had was five hours a week to devote to dōTERRA, and she did that for six months until her upline called her and told her she was Silver. Tara’ s response was,“ I don’ t know what that means.”
Tara didn’ t know much of what she was doing for her first few years. She says,“ Things were just disastrous. I made every mistake I could possibly make and was totally burnt out. I didn’ t understand placements or qualifying who I was building with. I spent a lot of time and energy building everything myself, reinventing the wheel, and doing everything from scratch.” Three years after enrolling, she was ready to quit entirely.
She had won the incentive trip that year, so she told her husband, Justin, that they were going on the trip but they wouldn’ t talk about the business. But, as they met other successful leaders, they soon ended up spending the whole trip talking about the business, asking questions, and discovering duplication systems. About a year later, they reached Diamond. Tara says,“ It felt like we did it from scratch. It felt like we built it all in a year instead of four years. For the first three years we learned how not to do it and in the fourth year we learned what to do. We stopped trying to make people love the business like we love it, and instead found people who were as passionate as we were. That brought back the fun and the joy.”
Now, Tara is excited to be a part of something revolutionary. She says,“ I think in 20 years we’ re going to look back and realize that we were at the forefront of something. We’ re encouraging people to take back their health and work in a radically different way. I don’ t even think we see the full impact we’ re having, but I can feel it. We’ re revolutionaries.”
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE
It’ s OK to be different. |
Find partners. |
Use a system. |
Absorb the environment. |
“ It doesn’ t matter if you and your leaders are the exact same or if you do things the same way. There’ s actually a lot of value in finding someone who complements your weaknesses, but you can’ t drag anyone along.” |
“ If your leaders don’ t love this business as much as you do, you can’ t build it for them. You’ re more than doubling your work. You’ ve got to have partners in this and it has to be people who are as committed and passionate as you are.” |
“ Find one system. I don’ t even know if it matters which system you use, but you’ ve got to find a system. You cannot reinvent the wheel. You cannot do it all. You have to model duplication and not make it harder than it has to be.” |
“ dōTERRA is full of people who love freely, who are self-aware, passionate, and accepting, and that has to change you. You can’ t not grow in that environment. People who are hungry for those connections will flourish and bloom.” |
