Congratulations on Reaching Presidential Diamond

HAYLEY: I never stop thinking about doTERRA and the ways I can share with others on a daily basis. When I started my doTERRA business, I sat down and decided that if I was going to do this, I wanted to reach a vast number of people. So, I got savvy on social media, webinars, and newsletters really fast. I created a lot of different websites and blogs online that have become very popular and given me a lot of visibility. I’m constantly educating people. Through word of mouth and the connections that I’ve made with other likeminded, healthinspired entrepreneurs, I’m now at the point where people come to me asking how they can get involved. Also, I think there is so much truth to the saying, “The fortune is in the follow-up.” I have never let any lead slide by me. I probably get over 200 emails a day now, but I make sure to sift through them and find those who are interested in doTERRA and follow up with them. I have had unbelievable pay-off by never believing that no means no. People have literally said no to me over and over again, and then three to six months or even a year down the line they’ve signed up with an Every Oil Kit.

HAYLEY: I learned that I let people rely on me too much. Now, I’m trying to teach independence and leadership. In the beginning, I was always making sure that everyone had everything, and so I became the go-to person. I finally figured out that even though I had given so much, I hadn’t created real leadership. I realized that in order to run a successful business, I have to teach people how to do things themselves. There’s an upside to getting to this rank as fast as I have, and that is that people want to be on my team and learn from me, but the downside is people think they can’t do what I’m doing. They think I’m an anomaly, but I believe that everybody can do this. The only reason I’ve been able to get to this rank this fast is because I’m doing what other people are not willing to do. I spend an enormous amount of time on doTERRA. Most people are not willing to do that; they don’t want to. I love it. I think it’s fun. It’s become my life. The people in my upline, downline, crossline, and the executive team have become my friends and family. I love everything about this company, so for me, devoting my life to this business is fun. My challenge has been teaching people that all I’m doing is the basic stuff. If you actually do the basics, they actually work. It’s just a matter of being willing to be trained and put in the time. I do believe this is a business that anybody can do if they love the oils and take the time to share them. 

WES: I was not involved for the first six to eight months. I saw Hayley’s success and I was happy for her, but it wasn’t until she dragged me to convention, then the Tulum incentive trip, and then the Presidential Diamond trip to Haiti and the Dominican Republic that I was able to get to know the founders and the other Wellness Advocates and understand what they saw in doTERRA. I saw the owners’ true intentions to improve people’s health and help those who help grow our products as well. In the last three months, I’ve become much more involved using my connections to spread the word, share the oils, and get people interested in joining our team. I’ve been in real estate for 10 years, so I have a network there that has become an avenue for sharing doTERRA. Hayley and I have two different personalities. Hayley is more of a go-getter, whereas I’m more of a listener. It’s happened before where Hayley was on the phone with someone that she can’t get through to, and then when I talk to them and explain it in a different way, they sign up. We have different personalities, but the same goal in mind and we feed off each other well. Without the personality Hayley has, she would’ve never gotten this far this fast, and I think a lot of people are attracted to that. Now, I can add in my personality to enhance other aspects of the business that might help other people.

WES: Building a successful doTERRA business can be like running a marathon, but you have to take it mile by mile. You can’t just look at the whole 26 miles at once; you have to break it down into small steps so it won’t seem as daunting. Also, it’s OK to be uncomfortable. This business is tough when you’re just getting started. You have to expand your environment and get out of the little environment you’ve been in for so long. It can be hard to enter someone’s personal space and tell them about the oils, but what I’m learning is that people are willing to listen to information that they know will benefit them. You have to be willing to go out there and share.

HAYLEY: I would say go for it. If you want it, you can have it. I felt like every rank that I saw above me, I thought, “Wow, look at those people. How could I ever get there?” But, I let that thought pass out of my mind and I told myself, “I’m going to do it.” I just went for it and believed in myself. If you know you’re going to do it, you’re going to do it. If you want something to happen, write it down, stare at it, and make it a reality. I believe that with the power of manifestation we can all make anything happen. If we want it bad enough, that message is going to get out there. The universe is going to conspire with us and it’s going to make it happen for us. When we feel stuck, isolated, or like we are a victim, that’s when we can’t move on. When we feel empowered, we can make anything happen.
