for the future.”

dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I MARCH/APRIL 2015
COMMUNICATE YOUR
NEEDS TO YOUR LEADERS. LET YOUR LEADERS
HELP YOU. WATCH THEM
SHINE.
“At some point, it became clear that
I hadn’t communicated to my leaders
exactly what I needed from them
and what I needed them to do, so
I was doing a lot of it myself. I was
working 16 hours a day, and I couldn’t
do it anymore.” “Then my upline told me, ‘You aren’t
supposed to do it all by yourself. Your
leaders are supposed to help you,
and they want to.’ From then on, it’s
been completely different. My leaders
take on their part and run with it.” “I have amazing leaders that are
some of my best friends now. It’s
important to be on the same page
and encourage each other. One of the
greatest things about the business
is stepping back and watching them
step up and shine.”
