I honestly believe that one of the greatest products dōTERRA offers is the
business opportunity. When I enrolled with dōTERRA three-and-a-half years ago,
it wasn’t with the intention of building a business. I’d never done anything
like that before. Since enrolling, I have learned a lot about business, but more about
myself. It has been a wonderful journey. I love having the freedom and
flexibility to build a business in my own way.
I
have a busy family life and am very involved with church
and community service. These are my top priorities.
Fitting in another good thing and working to balance life
has been a challenge and an adventure. dōTERRA has blessed
these other areas of my life immeasurably, and I am able to
accomplish much more because of the added health benefits
that have come through using pure essential oils.
I love the quote by Napoleon Hill, who said, “A goal is a
dream with a deadline.” Another one of my favorite quotes
comes from Neal A. Maxwell who said, “Although goal
setting can clearly be overdone, only a few people are overly
involved with goals and goal setting; most people do far too
little goal setting, including the reflecting that precedes the
setting of such goals.” Setting short-term and long-term goals
is as important to measurable progress as having sails on a
boat. Without them, we lose direction. After goals are set,
they need to be revisited and refined often as circumstances
change and progress is made.

dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I FALL 2013
Each of us has our own unique set of gifts and talents.
Finding, developing, and mastering them is a life-long
endeavor. I have experienced the effects of doing non-essential,
time-consuming things that left me exhausted and unfulfilled
at the end of the day. I believe the most important things we
do are the daily, repetitive things. Even though we do them
every day, it is important to not let them become mundane.
Our lives are built upon the daily tasks that create a rhythm
of life. These tasks may not seem to add up to much at the
end of each day, but over time, the cumulative effects show
gradual and measurable progress toward long-range goals.
Consistent, daily effort turns dreams into reality. When clear
goals unite with good habits, the possibilities are limitless!
I still work daily on my own “rhythm of life,” and I am learning
to be patient with myself as I stretch and grow. The people
in my organization inspire me. They have become my dear
friends as well as great leaders who are rooted in integrity and
goodness. I love seeing them grow and stretch as we work
together to share the benefits of essential oils with others!
