Origin: a Latin derivative
meaning "Gift of the Earth."
Brenda Brown had always tried to live a good life. She raised and homeschooled four children, and her husband, Steve, worked hard at his career. She says, “I guess I was going to wait until the end of our lives and think, ‘Well, we did the best we could.’ I had no clue that you could be the architect of your own life.” That was, until she discovered doTERRA.
It was Brenda’s daughter who introduced her to essential oils, and once she saw their effectiveness she decided to get involved in the business opportunity. Though the Browns had sworn themselves off of network marketing years before, Brenda could tell there was something different about doTERRA. Still, she never imagined she would reach Silver, let alone Diamond. It was after attending a major network marketing event that she realized she could make her life whatever she wanted it to be. She says, “I thought, ‘How would I want my end years to be if I could architect my life?’ That’s when it changed for me. I don’t have to accept whatever is good enough.”
The Browns live in a small town of only a few thousand people. A lot of people there have a very small income. They have seen people make the huge sacrifice to bring doTERRA into their lives and know that you can never underestimate the value of a small rural community. Brenda says, “In big cities you have a tremendous population, but your strength in a small town is trust.” When you’re familiar with them and their culture, people in small towns are often more likely to trust the value of what you’re sharing with them.
The Browns know they would be nowhere without the support of their team.
Brenda says, “They have such awesome strengths and hearts. We are really blessed to have the leaders that we have. They are all so different. It’s kind of like the beam in a house holding up the roof. They are what supports us.”
The Browns feel that they are no different from anyone else, and sometimes laugh to think they are Diamonds. Brenda says, “We all start at the same place. Anyone can do exactly what we have done. You don’t have to be extraordinary. No matter where you’re at in life, this is a natural fit for everyone.” Today, their lives are changed, and they are better people because of doTERRA. They are grateful to be a part of a company that they believe in. Steve says, “doTERRA has always handled everything with the utmost integrity, and I’m pleased to be a part of something that I’m not at all ashamed of. I have confidence in the company that I’m with, and I enjoy that.”
