NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS

Picking Up the Pieces
A
s a yoga instructor, Adabelle Carson
had used essential oils for years
before her sister-in-law introduced her
to dōTERRA. Right away, she knew these
oils were different and started sharing
them with her family and her yoga
students. She felt that yoga and essential
oils naturally went together. She wanted
to start teaching classes that combined
the two, but she didn’t know how.
One day, her upline asked her if she
would be willing to run a dōTERRA
booth at a large yoga conference, and
Adabelle jumped at the chance. At the
conference, her booth had a line that
went out the door, and several people
signed up for wholesale accounts.
After that, she was invited to another
conference where she got even more
sign-ups. She went home and realized
she had all these people signed up, and
she didn’t know what to do with them.
She says, “I called customer service at
least 20 times that day and said, ‘Please
explain what all this means.’ It was like
a crash course. I was thrown into the
business and I had to learn it quick.”
As her business grew, Adabelle saw
more and more success. Her husband,
Ben, was supportive because he saw
how happy it made her. Then, he had
a motocross accident that broke both
of his ankles, brought him a lot of pain,
and kept him from working. Adabelle
says, “dōTERRA was there to pick up
the pieces. We had gotten to the point
where we needed the money and I was
able to bring that from dōTERRA.”
Adabelle knows that she owes a lot
of her success to the support of her
upline, especially Natalie Goddard.
Even early on, she felt like Natalie always
made herself accessible to give any
help and advice. Adabelle says, “The
biggest difference she made for me
“do-TERRA has helped
me fulfill the dreams
that I had forgotten I
dreamed about.”
was how she made me feel around her.
She made me feel like I mattered and
that I could do what she was doing.
She was so genuine and so loving.”
Adabelle seeks to model her leadership
after Natalie’s, and tries to make sure
her team knows that she is there for
whatever they need.
Today, Adabelle is able to fulfill her
lifelong dream of traveling the world,
and grow a business all while taking care
of her family. She says, “I think dōTERRA
is a tool that empowers women to help
bring income to their families without
leaving the home. It’s so necessary for
families to stay intact and for parents
to be able to be there for their children,
but oftentimes both parents have to work
outside of the home. I want to shout
from the rooftops that dōTERRA is the
answer. You can work together at home,
be there for your family, and provide for
them at the same time. It’s amazing.”
HOW TO REACH DIAMOND
“Just believe that it’s possible.”
Love the products.
“If you totally believe in the
products, you use them for
yourself and your family, and
you love to share, then that’s
going to carry you a long way.
That’s what it all boils down to.”

Plot it out.
“It’s almost like you’re an
architect and you need a
blueprint. If you look at your
structure and have plotted out
logistically how you will reach
Diamond, then when you sign
people up you’ll know exactly
where to place them.”
dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I MARCH/APRIL 2015
Know there’s a solution. Use your upline.
“At one point I had found two
strong builders and I thought
they were it, and they both
quit on me. Instead of getting
discouraged, I said, ‘Ok, that
wasn’t the solution, so what is?’
I’m always open to the solution.
If one thing doesn’t happen,
there’s going to be something
else that’s going to fix it.”
“Just because they’re not calling
you doesn’t mean they don’t
want to see you succeed. They
have a lot of people on their
team, so you have to take the
reins and the initiative to call
them and get help.”
