Change your stars

As our annual doTERRA convention approaches this month, it makes me think of how my journey with doTERRA essential oils and my business started.

I only wanted to buy a bottle of Lavender essential oil bottle.

That was my intention when I attended a class to learn about essential oils. I had heard that doTERRA was pure and could be used for cooking. Perfect! (I had been looking EVERYWHERE for a lavender that I could use in a lavender balsamic salad dressing. Couldn’t find it anywhere. )

Wow was my mind blown during the class! No freakin’ way!  I did not realize how amazing and versatile the oils were and I was VERY interested. However, I still only wanted the lavender and figured I’d do my research later and consider a kit later.

In the class I learned that I could get a starter kit for my wellness goals or I could earn an income helping others use essential oils for their wellness goals. I was already an entrepreneur and I had this feeling that doTERRA would be a great option to add to what I was doing.

I hesitated to jump in. With my prior network marketing business (pre-doTERRA) I wasn’t excited anymore about network marketing. What if I couldn’t make money with doTERRA? What if I don’t know enough (remember I didn’t know anything about oils.)

But there was one thing I knew for sure.

I wanted to change my stars. I wanted Change. Period. Even though I may not have been able to say Yes to any of those thoughts in my head, one thing I knew for sure is that I would never know unless I tried.

So I JUMPED in!!!!  I got the Natural Solutions kit (which had the lavender in it…SCORE! I had this gut feeling of go BIG or go home!!! What did I have to lose? I’d have my essential oils and a business in a box. I went big, but it was by no means the biggest kit I could start with. It was $550 and at the time that seemed big!!!!

I charged it on my credit card even though our family budget was really, really, really tight (it was right after Christmas). 

I remember thinking, “I hope Mike (my husband) doesn’t question this charge.” because it was a large amount for something I didn’t really know about.

My investment paid off!!! Not right away, but it did over time.

It gave me financial breathing room that led to financial flexibility, a platform to help thousands of people improve their health and have hope, a business that I could build that pays me a lifetime and the ability to show hundreds of women and men do the same for them and their families. We now Live our Purpose.

All of this through essential oils and their healing powers for emotional and physical wellness.
 
In your current situation, you are working hard. The problem is you are working hard for someone else. Sure you go to work and you get paid for the time you put in, but that’s not giving you what you want. It's actually giving you less. You want to make a difference, you want opportunities you can’t get from working a job, you want to have hope, to be in charge and a plan for your dreams.

Imagine having exactly what you want and making a difference in other people’s lives and showing up for yourself in the world. Small risk. Huge reward!!!

What I want you for you is say YES to you! Creating your own business isn’t as scary as it might seem. In fact, it is one of the most empowering and exhilirating and rewarding journies you will take. There is no reason to wait because someday never comes.
