GET INSPIRED
NOT WEARY IN
Doing Good
BY CONNIE MOORE
Little did I know just over two years ago
how my first introduction to do-TERRA
would change everything for me, my family,
many friends, and a multitude of people I hadn't even come to
know yet. I was working as the executive director of a nonprofit
crisis pregnancy center in my hometown and knew it was
about time to pass the torch to my successor. After 17 years of
pouring into others during their times of desperation and need,
I had long surpassed the typical burnout period for someone in
my position. I attribute that longevity to knowing I was exactly
where God had placed me and his laying on my heart a deep
personal desire to help others in need. I was blessed to see so
many lives changed while working there, including my own.
When our dear friends Bob and Rindy Brooks came for a visit,
they brought a Family Physician Kit as a gift. I knew nothing of
do-TERRA or essential oils, but was immediately captivated by
the aromas and intrigued about the potential health benefits.
I soon found myself immersed in the do-TERRA experience, which
for me has included over-the-top improvements to my health.
As I began sharing my amazing
experiences with others, people just
naturally wanted to try the oils.
My enrollments grew and small checks started coming in, but
the most exciting thing for me was seeing what the oils were
doing in the lives of others. I just couldn't stop sharing what
I was learning and was thrilled each time I received another
positive report from those I shared with.
Having somewhat jokingly used the term "snake oils" a time
or two, my husband, Richard, finally agreed to start taking the
Lifelong Vitality supplements on a trial basis and soon it was
clear the supplements were making a difference. The changes
have been amazing for us.

we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9

dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I JULY / AUGUST 2015
For a long time I never thought of this as
a business. I liked the idea of getting small checks that
was all about for me. I really enjoyed seeing the results of
the oils and the differences they were making in people's
lives. I enthusiastically shared oils just about everywhere
I went and soon had built a frontline that was exactly that—
a long, straight line.
When I came to understand that I could be a part of meeting
the needs of others at exponential rates, I knew I wanted that.
I learned about setting business goals and building the
necessary structure. Richard is now actively engaged in this
journey with me, and we truly love the generosity of do-TERRA
when it comes to helping others. We are excited to be a part
of building better communities around the world and want to
personally pour into others in bigger and better ways, as many
others involved with do-TERRA are already doing.
Now that I better understand the
business end of things, I am excited
about emphasizing team building and
shepherding individuals to succeed.
I have long been known as an encourager, and now I have the
opportunity to continue training others on how to use essential
oils to meet their needs and, for those who are considering the
business aspect of do-TERRA, how to build teams, maintain
enthusiasm, and provide the necessary support needed for
success. Inspiring and encouraging others while ensuring they
are properly equipped is another one of the exciting parts of this
journey. Together, we are seeing dramatic changes in people's
lives, and that makes all the hard work so worthwhile.
We feel blessed to have received a gift
of oils that led to life-changing benefits.
We stand amazed at the opportunities we have had to help
so many others find relief from their physical and emotional
needs. To also be afforded opportunity to serve, equip, and
shepherd others in their do-TERRA journey is both awesome
and humbling. We expect even greater things as we continue
walking exactly where we feel God is leading. S
