PRESIDENTIAL DIAMONDS
How have you learned to run this business as a family?
Congratulations on Reaching Presidential Diamond
Jared & Sheree Winger
HIGHLAND, UTAH, USA
Sheree: We have been really fortunate because we never
had the transition that some couples have where one spouse
starts growing the business and then brings the other spouse
home from their job and they have to figure out how to divide
the labor. Jared started doing the business early on and he still
does the classes, trainings, and travel.
Jared: Sheree is perfectly capable of teaching any classes; she’s
seen me do it a million times. But, we want her to remain a
full-time stay-at-home mom and it wasn’t necessary for her to
duplicate what I’m doing. She helps me out and I help her out,
but overall we know our responsibilities. I’m mostly in charge
of the business and she oversees things with the kids and the
household. Also, she’s very creative and has great ideas for
team events. Our whole team loves her.
What have been the biggest hurdles you have had to
overcome on the way to Presidential Diamond?
Sheree: When we were having our last child, I was really
excited because Jared was Platinum and he had started
working from home. I thought it was going to be great
and we were going to have all this time together. Then,
Jared did some expos, found some amazing leaders, and the
momentum on our team really picked up. Our baby
was born, and then he was traveling for the next several
months a lot more than he had been before. That was
hard on me emotionally. But, I’m really happy now that
he did that because we have benefitted so much from it.
I’m glad he worked that hard, even though it was a sacrifice.
It wasn’t the picture I had in my mind of how it was going
to be, but we have a lot now because we made those
sacrifices early on.
Jared: You have to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You
have to realize that it’s going to get better. This business can be
hard because it takes massive focus and energy to create that
momentum, but then it’s going to pay itself back a hundredfold.
What are the benefits of this rank? Why should someone
want to reach it?
Jared: You can create the kind of lifestyle that you want, not
just have enough money to pay bills. You definitely have to
be willing to sacrifice and work more for a period of time, but
with the big picture in mind of creating that flexibility and time
freedom that you want. It actually gets easier the higher rank
you go, because you have leaders that are overseeing their
teams, taking responsibility, and duplicating.
If your goal is to help other people, you’re going to help a lot
more people becoming Presidential Diamond than if you set
your goals low. It’s really hard to give a lot if you don’t have
anything or if your time is tied to your job. This rank allows you
to do so much more good than you ever could.
Sheree: Getting to Presidential Diamond means you’re seeing
your leaders grow and be successful. We love seeing their
success not just financially but in other areas of their lives and
what they’re able to do because o f what dōTERRA has given them.
At this stage, what motivates you to continue building
your business?
Jared: We know that we can do so much good through
dōTERRA. I feel like if I kept that to myself, it would be selfish.
We’ve been given a gift and we need to show gratitude and pay
it forward. Our work is not done. We need to inspire others
and help other people achieve the same thing we have,
because they can.
Tips for Getting to Presidential Diamond
Do the same
things
dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I MAY/JUNE 2015
Be
consistent
Teach
classes
Improve your

“Getting to Presidential
Diamond is not much
different than what
it took to get you to
any other rank. It’s
the same skill set, the
same activity, it just
takes more time.”

Treat it like a
business
“Sometimes because
people aren’t getting
paid immediately on
their efforts, they don’t
take this seriously.
This is a business,
and when you treat
it like that, you’ll see a
lot of growth.”
“Determine that you’re
going to be consistent
with your efforts. A lot
of people are looking
for the magic bullet.
It’s not rocket science:
do the other things
that other leaders
have done to create
success.”
“It all boils down to
doing two classes a
week consistently,
whether you’re hosting
them or teaching them
for your team. Anyone
that does that will be
Diamond or beyond.”
“Work on your skill
sets. If you’re not good
at teaching classes or
inviting, get good at
those skills. Don’t just
say you’re not going
to do them. Find
out how to improve
and that makes your
business easier.”
