NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND Rose Ingraham ASHLAND, OREGON, USA HEART BASED T hough Rose Ingraham had raised her daughter, Arin, on essential oils, when Arin became an adult she moved away and rebelled against everything her mom had taught her. Seven years ago, she showed up on Rose’s doorstep and introduced her to dōTERRA. Both mother and daughter found incredible healing through the dōTERRA essential oils. Today, Arin is a Blue Diamond, and now Rose is right there with her. She says, “I went through a phase where I was really consumed with rank. By doing that, I made it so much more difficult than it ever needed to be. When I got back to my heart, so many barriers came down and so many people showed up who needed these products in their lives. Organization, focus, and education on the compensation plan are important, but none of that has any meaning without your heart.” When dōTERRA came into her life, Rose had lost her job due to a serious injury that kept her from working. In her early sixties at the time, Rose hadn’t been planning on retirement yet, but knew it would be difficult to find a new job at her age. Because of the healing dōTERRA had given her, Rose was passionate about sharing the oils, and it didn’t take her long to become involved in the business side. She says, “The self-growth that presents itself in this business is phenomenal. At every level you come to, you’re addressing the next obstacle that keeps you from becoming everything you could possibly be. It’s been such an exciting and challenging process for me to have to grow and expand myself.” Though she was comfortable at Platinum for a long time, she pushed herself to Diamond because she saw that she had so much more to give. Rose is grateful to dōTERRA for not only bringing her physical and emotional healing, but for bringing her closer to her daughter. She says, “I raised her as a single mother, so we’ve always been close, but we’ve come back together in such a powerful, bonded way. We consider each other business partners. She’s been my mentor and my greatest support. As a mother, to have your child grow and be happy, empowered, and successful in her life is the greatest thing you could pray for or dream of.” Rose knows that a key to success is getting back in touch with your heart. They have plans to soon open a sanctuary ranch for rescued horses that can also bring emotional healing to the people who visit them. This is part of what is motivating Rose to continue building. She says, “Something inside me is always telling me that there are so many others that need these oils and I have to share what I know. I need to give back and make others’ lives greater, because dōTERRA has helped make my life amazing.” “I love the modality of AromaTouch®. It’s such a powerful tool. The experience speaks for itself. Once you’ve given someone an AromaTouch, they experience the oils in an intimate, positive way.” 26 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I MAY/JUNE 2015 “This is a heartbased company. It’s not about selling a product, but finding out what’s happening in someone’s life and offering to help.” FOCUS ON USERS Users are the base. “One day, I began to realize that one of the greatest bases of our business is the users—the people who are using the oils as a culture on a daily basis and changing their lives.” Don’t only focus on builders. “It’s not all about the big builders that you go and look for to draw into your organization that make you go Diamond. It was when I shifted away from that attitude that I went Diamond.” Teach that to your leaders. “Now I’m sharing that philosophy with my leaders and it’s taken a huge pressure off of their shoulders. They don’t have to focus on finding builders, but just on helping families.” Organically offer financial freedom. “I’m very excited to shift this focus. Now, I want everyone to use and we’re offering financial freedom as it organically slips into the experience of us ing the dōTERRA products.” www.doterra.com 27
