NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND Lizeth Baldemar de Arras CIUDAD JUÁREZ, CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO POR EL AMOR “Estoy motivada por el amor que tengo por mi familia, y el deseo que tengo de que mas familias puedan disfrutar de los beneficios que disfruta la mia.” Translation: “I am motivated by the love that I have for my family, and the desire that I have that more families can enjoy the benefits that my family enjoys.” W hen Lizeth Baldemar de Arras’s sister, Perla Baldemar, first told her about dōTERRA, Lizeth didn’t think anything of it. Then when her oldest son was sick late one night, the essential oils her sister had given her were more effective than Lizeth could’ve imagined. She says, “I had lost hope that I would ever find something that worked for my son, and these oils really did.” From there, she wanted to know more, so she attended convention that year with Perla. At convention, Lizeth met Greg Cook who shared with her that he felt that he had a mission to be a part of something that went throughout the whole world. When she heard that, she wanted to be a part of it as well. She wanted to bring the mission of dōTERRA to Mexico. She says, “Since that day, I have worked very hard to bring the oils to Mexico. I could have created my teams in the US because I live right on the border, but it is my mission for the people in Mexico to be able to benefit from dōTERRA.” Lizeth and her husband, Edgar, already owned several businesses. They actually could’ve made more money if she had continued working those businesses with her husband rather than moving forward with dōTERRA, but Lizeth feels strongly that this is what she is supposed to do. Perla says about her sister, “I’ve never seen anyone work as hard as her in dōTERRA. She works from 6 AM until late into the night. Mexico is a hard market, but she has still been able to reach Diamond because of her perseverance and passion. She has had challenges that would have made anyone else quit, but she keeps going. Every time she wants to give up, she remembers her mission.” “I love creating a business where I can include people that I admire.” Lizeth’s advice to others is to persevere as she has. She says, “Never give up. You have to work hard for anything that is worthwhile. This type of business takes a lot of work and dedication, but the rewards are equally as great.” She says she would’ve never been where she is now without the support of her sister and her team. “That’s why I keep doing what I’m doing. That’s what I love about dōTERRA—they care about people. It doesn’t matter the challenges I face, I won’t ever give up.” DIAMOND TIPS If you really focus on people and try to teach them to improve their lives, your business will grow. 22 Make small teams that work together, help them make goals that are reachable, and never stop motivating them to grow. dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I MARCH/APRIL 2015 Focus on helping one team at a time until they are able to do things for themselves.
