Centered on Joy

One day, Natalie Harris was at the gym and started a conversation with Allyse Sedivy, who she hadn’t met before. Natalie was a real estate agent and Allyse needed one for a negotiation on a property that morning. By that afternoon, Allyse had, as Natalie puts it, “doTERRA-ized” her. She says, “Like everyone else, I was never going to participate in a multilevel marketing company. But, because I deal with business plans, once I saw the compen sation plan I knew it was good. I came in for the business side because the numbers were just screaming that this works. I couldn’t even believe that I was telling her yes.” Within two months, Natalie learned to love the essential oils and how they could change people’s lives as well as the business.

Natalie started out with the goal to reach Platinum to help Allyse reach Double Presidential Diamond. In 10 months, Natalie hit Diamond for the first time, but then a lot happened in her life that slowed her business down. She says, “Even with everything that happened, in just over two years my business has maintained itself and grown. I’ve realized since hitting Diamond that I’ll make it to Presidential Diamond one day, it’s just a matter of time.”

At one point, Natalie and her team realized that they were hitting it too hard and they needed to take a breather. One of her downline leaders, Ginger Lancaster, found a quote about joying their way to joy, and they decided to make that their team mantra. Natalie says, “We were feeling pressured and we were not having very much fun. We realized that sometimes you’ve got to stop, go back, and have a real life. We all love it, we just needed to make it more fun and relaxing and make sure to take time for ourselves.”

She’s amazed that she gets to work every day with her favorite people and make a difference in people’s lives. Though she went full time with doTERRA in February of this year, Natalie still has not replaced her real estate income. But, she knows that soon she will exceed it, and it will be residual. She says, “I thought I was coming into this business for the money. Then, I got converted to the oils and I thought it was for the oils. But really, we’re here for the relationships. We’re here for the love. The biggest change this has brought me is being able to center my entire life around love.”
