NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS
Steve & Tracy Lyman

COMMIT
TO THE PROCESS
“All the leaders that are really
doing well in this business are
just innately being themselves.
They have an authentic and
strong clarity of who they are and
are able to extend that beyond
themselves.” –Tracy

teve Lyman previously owned
a company together with John
Harrison and Kyle Kirschbaum—both
currently Presidential Diamonds. John’s
wife, Melyna, was the first to introduce
them all to dōTERRA. Both Steve and his
wife, Tracy, were skeptical at first. Tracy
is a massage therapist and esthetician,
and had a negative reaction to the
essential oils that she had previously
experienced. However, as a new mom,
she soon opened up to the idea of
having a better option for her children’s
health. From there, it took her and Steve
several more years before they became
fully involved in the business.
Steve’s company ended up going under,
and the Lymans lost everything. Tracy also
gave birth to their third baby around that
time, and for a long time the timing was
off for them to get involved in a dōTERRA
business. As they saw the success of the
Harrisons and the Kirschbaums, and as
their friends expressed a belief in their
ability to do the same, they started

changing their minds. Tracy saw that
she could develop many of the talents
and skills she’d always wanted to in a
dōTERRA business. She says, “I saw that
in dōTERRA I would have the time and
the space to build entrepreneurial skills
and confidence as a leader, and create
that same opportunity for someone else.”
As Tracy worked to build a successful
business, she encountered a lot of
setbacks along the way. One month while
trying to go for Platinum, she failed
miserably. She was driving home from
teaching classes in Arizona and had to
pull over on the side of the road. She says,
“I went into this panic attack. I just couldn’t
believe that I didn’t make my goal.” That
next month she was teaching at a large
training for her team, and her upline pulled
her aside and told her it was time for her
to go Diamond. Later that day, Emily Wright
said the same thing in front of everyone
at the training. Tracy says, “It was this neat
experience of everything coming together.
I knew it was my time.” She realized that
getting to Diamond wasn’t just about
numbers and volume, but committing to
the process. “I had to get out there and
be a Diamond, just act, do, and lead.
Once I committed, everything I needed
showed up to make it happen.”
The Lymans are grateful not only for
the physical and financial healing that
“dōTERRA allows you
to be able to impact
people’s health,
finances, and personal
development. One is
not more important
than the other. We get
just as excited about
each one.” –Steve
dōTERRA has brought them, but also
the personal growth and relationships
they’ve developed along the way.
Tracy says, “I know now that I can do
anything that I set my mind to, and
that comes from centering everything
around relationships.” Steve adds,
“Nothing depletes the human spirit
more than not having opportunity in
life. We’re grateful that dōTERRA gives
us the opportunity to have hope and
excitement for our future. It has given
us the vehicle we needed to make our
goals a reality.”
OVERCOMING OBSTACLES
FACE REALITY. “In reality,
you’re going to have
something not work out.
You might have no one
show up to your class
or your kid gets sick.
There’s always going to
be something that gets
in the way. Life doesn’t
stop happening just
because you have
a goal.”
DON’T LOOK BACK.
“Unless you’re willing
to say there’s no option
to go backward, you’re
not going to succeed.
You have to develop
that mental outlook
that you’re going to
figure it out and make
it happen. Know that
obstacles happen,
and you’re going to
overcome them.”
CHANGE YOUR
PERSPECTIVE. “The
key is to decide how
you’re going to look at
it. You can look at the
mountain you have to
climb as a fun, great way
of becoming a leader,
or as something that’s
going to be dreadful
and that you’re going
to hate. It’s all in the
perspective.”
GROW ALONG THE WAY.
“If you’re sitting at
Premier and you want to
be Diamond, you have
to completely transform
who you are. You can’t
be who you are at
Premier and become
Diamond. Everything
that’s put in your way
before you get there
should give you really
great growth.”
