순수, 그대로의 순수

Theresa Harding is a founding Presidential Diamond who has been with doTERRA since the very beginning. Here, she shares her story and the experience she has gained through the years.
When I started, I was not going to build the business. I did not like network marketing and that is putting it lightly. But, I was excited to start sharing the oils and I started building a little bit of a downline and getting a pay check. When I saw that paycheck, I thought, “This is me trying not to do this?” So, I de cided that if I could do the business the way I had been, I would be happy to do it.
At that time, we didn’t have any books, handouts, tools, or PowerPoints. We didn’t really know anything. We would go to a class, we’d hear information, and we would share that with other people. We did classes in people’s basements and living rooms. We shared with people individually and as they were interested to learn more, we would invite them to classes.
People who have to know all the answers before they’ll go teach a class will still be successful, but they’ll be successful a lot slower. The people who don’t know what they’re doing but just hear about doTERRA, get excited, jump in, and start doing things even when they aren’t experienced— their teams grow the fastest.
I have many years of experience; I know a lot about essential oils. But, the reality is, compared to Dr. Hill I am a layman. We’re always learning. I’ll always need to know more. Can you imagine if I didn’t go out and do things until I knew as much as Dr. Hill? All we need to know is that we’re excited about essential oils and we want to share them with someone.
Be teachable and humble. You may come into this business with a huge skillset if you’ve been successful at a business before, but doTERRA is a different thing than you’ve probably ever seen. We are all about helping and caring for other people in a compassionate way. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Learn from the people who have already been successful. Copy them until you get so expert at what they do that now you can bring your own creativity into the mix. Once you’ve seen success, when you start trying other things you can recognize quickly what does and doesn’t work. Then, you can help make doTERRA better.
Any time you do anything worth your time, you’re going to hit walls and you’re going to have to sacrifice. I teach my builders from the beginning that this business is exciting and they’re going to hit some walls, but I’ll be there for them. So, when they hit the walls, I already know what’s coming and I’ve prepared them for that. I’ve helped them realize that building doTERRA is having in-home classes where one person shows up. Then the next class 10 people show up and you think, “I’m so good at this.” Then the next class no one shows up. I’ve been doing this for a long time now, so I’m invited to speak at large events in front of thousands of people. But, when I’m building my team, I still go to classes where two people show up. You just have to continue. Don’t quit; don’t stop
