After working as a nurse for five years, Nancy Knopp was introduced to natural health solutions. From there, she decided to build her own business seeing clients in her home as a certified natural health practitioner. It was then that she was introduced to doTERRA. She and her husband, Paul, tried the essential oils and could immediately tell the difference. Before long, Nancy was holding her own classes and sharing doTERRA with her clients, family, and friends. She says, “The main reason I wanted to do doTERRA was to see that my friends and family could create an income through sharing natural health solutions like I was already doing. I wanted thousands of people to have the alternative to use natural health solutions, and I saw doTERRA as a way to do that.”
From the beginning, Nancy knew she wanted to be Diamond and she worked to find her top builders as quickly as possible. When identifying builders, she looks for their passion, their influence, and how they communicate with others. She says, “You don’t always know at first who’s going to be a builder. You have to keep giving and having your hands open. You have to say, ‘Whatever comes my way, I’ll put action where there’s action.”
Nancy emphasizes to her team that in the end it only takes four successful leadersto get to Diamond. It’s hard to know when someone is going to be that successful leader, but she has learned to go with her gut when placing people on her frontline. She says, “I look at what traits they have as a successful leader and what I have peace about in my heart.”
When she has people tell her they are going to build a business and they don’t follow through, Nancy knows that sometimes that means they have a mental block that’s holding them back.
She says, “True leadership comes with the ability to see themselves for who they are. I always ask them what they think and believe about themselves, and then we discover what the lie is and get rid of it. Sometimes all they need is to know is that I believe in them to keep moving forward.”
Today, doTERRA has opened up Nancy and Paul’s minds to dream bigger than they ever have before. Nancy says, “It’s amazing to have the top passions of your life be incorporated into your business, to be financially free, and to create the dreams that you want to live. I know now that I can reach for even bigger dreams. I’ve realized that there’s so much more that we can do in life.”
