Getting Ahead “If you stick to the basics and prepare then 90 percent of your work will be completely done.” 1 2 3 4 Learn how to teach a good class.

Six Weeks to Elite “After I decided to do dōTERRA as a business, I set up four events within a one week period. I did a morning event, two evening events, and one Saturday event. After finalizing the date and time for each event, I made an invitation that listed all four and sent it out to the world. Really, it was only about 100-150 people, but it felt like much more. From those four events, I was able to schedule events for the next six weeks. After six weeks, due entirely to those four events, I was Elite. From there, I continued to book two events a week for the next two years. Just by doing that, I reached Diamond in 18 months.” Host four events within a one- week period. Make an invitation that lists all four events. Invite the entire world. Get two bookings for the following week. “Now, this is the program I teach my downline, six weeks to Elite. It’s simple and can easily be duplicated. Not every new consultant will schedule events six weeks out, but I have found that everyone can get two for the following week. From there, they can get two more and then two more. If they find builders along the way and teach them the same program, then it’s impossible not to succeed!” Find builders along the way. It has been really good, and I think you should join me.’ One of my top builders was number five on that list.” Each small victory encouraged Diane to push for greater success. With the goal to hit Diamond, she made the difficult decision to close her studio and join Diamond Club. Diane said, “It was a huge risk. I wasn’t making enough to cover the income I received from teaching piano. However, those four months really pushed my business to the next level.” Diane is now a huge advocate of believing in yourself. She explains, “Many times Individuals just starting out look at those who have achieved Diamond and think, ‘That is impossible, I will never get there.’ If you realize that it’s a challenge, but say to yourself, ‘I can do it,’ then you will be successful. Remember, I was once where you are.” www.doterra.com 15
