NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS Ky & Dr. Zia Nix NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA A BRIGHTER FOCUS D r. Zia Nix knew intuitively that essential oils were powerful, and felt drawn to them when her friend Karen Atkins showed them to her. She began using Elevation immediately and gradually felt a difference in her life. When her kit arrived in the mail, she began using the oils on her patients in her chiropractic practice. She fell in love and told everyone about them, like she did with anything else she was excited about. In her practice, Zia only worked three days a week and traveled the rest of the time. She had a comfortable life and loved what she did, so she had no desire to pursue a dōTERRA business. It was attending convention that got her excited about the company itself, and she started sharing with everyone about the great business opportunity as well. She began teaching monthly classes at her office, which soon grew to weekly classes. She decreased her practice from three days a week to one. She says, “I was not looking for a change, but this just fell into my lap.” “My business grew organically, but it grew out of a passion and a love for sharing and a diligence with creating a business that works.” 54 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2015 “Joy and passion are the key ingredients.” Then, Zia lost a baby after trying to get pregnant for a long time. She took time off to recover at home with her husband, Ky. When it was over, she had lost money with her practice while her income with dōTERRA had grown. Zia says, “I really got to experience what it felt like to be supported by my team and experience r esidual income. I took it as a sign from the universe that it was time to let my practice go.” She decided to close her practice and turn her focus to helping other people achieve the same time and financial freedom that she had. Zia credits dōTERRA with healing her fears of commitments and relationships and preparing her to meet her husband. Ky was a personal trainer who was involved in a fitness and nutritional network marketing company, and has now agreed to join her fulltime in dōTERRA. Zia says, “It was not an easy decision for him to come with me, because it’s really impossible to focus on two network marketing companies at once. He knew there was no way I was leaving dōTERRA, and it will be so much more powerful to have both of us working together.” With dōTERRA, Zia is working harder than she ever has in her life, but also having more fun working than she ever has. She says, “It’s given me a lot of hope and excitement about the future. The future seems brighter, and full of possibilities.” “Though this business is stressful, we can never allow ourselves to be stressed out. When people decide to do business with us, it’s because they want what we have, and no one wants to be stressed out. Build in time for self-nurturing, family, and balance.” R A I S I N G YO U R U P P E R L I M I T S What is an Upper Limit? “Even millionaires have upper limits. People can only have so much success in their lives until they run into their upper limit. They’ll do something to bring their level of joy down to a manageable level that’s familiar to them.” Handle the joy. “You have to ask yourself how much joy you can handle. If you were to actually create everything that you have been working on and achieve all your goals in life, can you really handle it? Most people would hit their upper limit.” Accepting Abundance. “It’s important for people to work on their relationship with money and their ability to be OK with receiving abundance in their lives. Until that happens, even if we try to help them, we cannot force success upon them. They will ruin it every time.” A Level 10. “Someone has hit their upper limit if business is booming and they go home and fight with their wife, or their health declines. We need to be OK with all aspects of our lives being at a level 10. You have to be always working on raising your upper limits.” www.doterra.com 55
