ND R R O dōTE Peter & Susie Bagwell S NEW NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS A DIA M Putting Others First During their time as Independent Product Consultants, Peter and Susie Bagwell have learned what it takes to build a successful team. Susie shares, “We used to think that we had to be a higher rank than the consultants on our team. However, Teresa Harding shared something that changed our perspective. She said, ‘I am going to have to take a step back from my personal goals to support my team.’ This advice completely changed our outlook. Now when an individual tells us they want to achieve a goal, we work to support them.” This change in perspective aided the Bagwells as they built their dōTERRA business. By focusing on supporting their team, Susie and Peter were able to meet their goals. Individuals don’t achieve Diamond by chance— Susie and Peter understand what works because they’ve learned from their success as well as their failures. For those seeking to achieve the rank of Diamond, the Bagwells offer this advice:   Our home is a dōTERRA home. “ You smell essential oils when you walk through the door. You see them on the counter and in the cupboards. You can even taste them in our drinks and our food.” 28 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I SUMMER 2013
