NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS Jashin & Tanya Howell MESA, ARIZONA, USA COMMON VISION T anya Howell was raised on natural remedies by her mother, but she was first exposed to essential oils in her career as a massage therapist. She was never very impressed with them, until one day her mother introduced her to dōTERRA and said they were the most powerful form of natural medicine she’d ever used. Tanya was surprised and thought, “But it’s just essential oils.” She decided to experiment with them, and before long had several amazing experiences. Tanya and her husband, Jashin, had always been entrepreneurs, and early in their marriage had worked in a business together. When Tanya started using dōTERRA, her husband had his own business that was providing well for the family. She had no financial need to do a dōTERRA business, but she was passionate about sharing natural healing and, most of all, she wanted to be able to work with her husband again. She says, “At the time I didn’t know how that was going to happen because he had his own business, but it’s interesting how things happen when you have a dream.” “Your business will progress as far as you progress personally.” –Tanya 18 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2015 “In order for people to change, they have to have a vision for who they want to become. The journey to success is the journey of discovering who you are and why you do what you do.” –Jashin Jashin’s business started to go through some challenges and as the whole thing fell apart, at first it felt devastating to their family. In the end, that difficulty enabled the Howells to start working together in dōTERRA. It took time, but Jashin eventually caught on to the vision. He says, “In my many years of working in direct sales, I’ve never seen a company like dōTERRA. They have such a heartbeat—they really care for people and the products really do work. That culture has attracted so many marvelous people that were tired of the hype and ready to do a business that is clean and professional, and truly serves other people. The more I learn, the more passionate I become.” Tanya was motivated to grow her business so they could work together as a family for something they believed in. Getting to Diamond became about the opportunity to bless more lives. She says, “Now it’s not even about us as much as it is about helping other people become successful. I just want to empower people and help them achieve their goals and dreams so they can also spend more time with their families like we’ve been able to. We know that it’s possible for anyone.” HELPING YOUR TEAM LEARN HOW TO STRUCTURE P3 LET PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES. “As much as you try to teach people a specific placement strategy, sometimes they’ll go and do just the opposite. I think when people make mistakes or do something they wish they hadn’t, that’s when the lesson is really learned.” –Jashin WAIT UNTIL THEY’RE READY. “It comes down to when people are ready to understand it, get it, and follow it. They have to be in the mindset of wanting to build a successful business. When people commit to that, they have to commit to learning how to structure their team.” –Tanya FOCUS ON POWER OF 3. “Don’t worry about structuring for rank as much as structuring for your Power of 3. That was a mistake that I made, so I tell people to focus on building their Power of 3 and teaching their team to do the same. The rank will follow.” –Tanya Today, her dream has been fulfilled. Jashin says, “dōTERRA has brought us meaning, purpose, passion, love, joy, and it has brought us together.” Tanya adds, “It’s allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone, connect with people, and develop meaningful relationships. It’s allowed us to expand our reach and our capacity to love. Most importantly, our family has been able to join in a common vision together that has blessed our lives.” www.doterra.com 19
