“ My team members , Paola and Carol , are wonderful human beings . I admire them deeply as women and as people with integrity . They bring out the best in me through their compassion .”

W hen Lorena Alvarado ’ s friend ,

Paola Ortega , introduced her to dōTERRA , Lorena took her time to study the products . She says , “ I am very careful when it comes to choosing the food and products that come into my home and dōTERRA was no exception .” Once she got her kit , it confirmed to her that the essential oils were effective , strong , and safe .
Immediately , Lorena started sharing the product and enrolling people , before she knew that dōTERRA was network marketing . One day , she found out she had commissions and she wondered how that had happened . That ’ s when she discovered the business opportunity , did some research , and decided to share what she had found with her upline , Paola , and her first downline , Carol Lopez . She says , “ We thought if we could reach Silver doing what we were doing , it was going to be a blessing for our families and our finances .”
The three of them have been working together ever since , and now all of them are Diamonds . Lorena says , “ This is not my business , but our project , even though each one us has our own style and personal goals . We continue to get together to generate ideas , solve challenges , and share experiences . They and other valuable members of my team are the reason why I do dōTERRA .” She knows that they are stronger together .
As a mother of two children , Lorena has found that dōTERRA and her family edify each other . She says , “ I find fulfillment in both of them through love , growth , and challenges . dōTERRA has given me so many tools to be a better person and a better mom . My challenges as a mom have given me so many tools to share dōTERRA .”
Lorena has learned to not pursue rank in her business , but to work with
whatever leaders are committed to reaching their goals — no matter where they are in her organization . She says , “ Take advantage of the blessing and the opportunity of having a leader who is willing to reach her goals , and support her 100 percent so she can reach it and respect her style of leadership .” She thinks that ambition and quick growth are overrated . “ I believe in growing organically and constantly serving individuals . Just like when you grow a garden ; each plant has its time to bloom .”
Now , Lorena has a healthy family , she ’ s a part of a community of people she admires , and she knows that she is contributing to a cause that is helping people all over the world . She says , “ Finally I am debt-free and I can share wellness . dōTERRA has been the way to all of this . It ’ s a blessing I ’ m deeply thankful for and I hope I always honor it .”
