A Numbers Game vs Touching Lives - Make a Difference

A Numbers Game vs Touching Lives

Do you want to make a lasting difference? It’s easy to get caught up in the numbers game. Today something made me think differently. My essential oil blog is how I reach out and touch lives.   If I touch an individual life with my blog today,  then that is a successful day at blogging. It’s a successful day as a doTERRA consultant, too.

If someone learned how to use a doTERRA essential oil though me, that is a gift. It doesn’t matter which one; Lime, Cardamom, the brand new Adaptiv line, Tamer for kids, Lemon… the list goes on!!! It’s all about making a difference. I love help someone get a doTERRA membership, because that opens up all the resources I have to offer to the fullest extent!

Numbers Game Questions I Ask Myself All The Time

Often, blogging can turn into a numbers game. There are a lot of things you can track.  Did my latest post hit Google page one yet?  What is the number of re-pins on Pinterest? Or what about shares on Facebook.  

As bloggers,  we can stress about if we have “enough” people trickling through our online sales funnel. Or focus on a number of sales through our blog.  How many doTERRA enrollments did I have through my blog this month?  And so on… It’s all wonderful and amazing. I’m all about celebrating every accomplishment.  Which I do,  often quite loudly!  All of that,  though?  It’s not the reason I blog.

Numbers Game vs Touching A Life

Recently something happened.  It made me think about why I really blog. The numbers game is fun,  but my real “Why blog?” has nothing to do with statistics.  My essential oil blog is how I reach out and touch lives.

Here’s what inspired me to write this blog post. I welcomed a new person to my Facebook group.  She found me through my blog. Nothing too unusual.  But one of my regulars made this comment on my welcoming post to the new member.  It made me stop and think.  Here’s what she said.

She said,  “Welcome to the group (family)!“

So simple.  Yet so profound.  If that doesn’t just make your heart melt.  That one of your people considers you family.  Considers your Facebook group a family.  It means a lot.  Especially when you have worked endlessly to cultivate that exact type of direct sales team culture.

Jo Ann Found Me Through My Blog

Let me back up a bit.  Jo Ann found me through my blog.  She joined my Exploring Lavender Butterflies Facebook group. Then she attended online Facebook parties for my doTERRA business. In the online classes, I teach about how to use doTERRA essential oils for health and wellness related goals.

As Jo Ann learned more about the oils,  she joined my team as a doTERRA Wholesale Customer.  And yes,  she is family to me.  As are all of my Lavender Butterflies doTERRA team.  But I have only met a few of them in person.  The rest have met me online only.  Isn’t that amazing?  I touched lives and gained Wellness Advocates and Wholesale Customers for my doTERRA team.  All through my blog and my online presence.

Breaking Down The Numbers Game vs Touching A Life

So let’s break it down.  This is reaching out and touching a life,  through my blog.  Jo Ann is just one example.  Through my blog, I have been able to touch multiple lives,  and help many people learn about doTERRA.    I am successfully sharing the gift of oils. Every day I get to help people, in the same way my mother in law helped me when she shared her doTERRA Lavender for my head tension.

Jo Ann could easily enter into my core team culture… through the computer.  Amazing,  huh?  In the numbers game,  Jo Ann is only one person.  But within my essential oil community,  that one person is like family.  This is why touching one life can be so important.  You don’t need to get caught up in numbers and statistics to make a profound difference to one person. I do get paid for what I do, but that’s a side benefit!

Why I Chose An Online Presence To Make A Difference

When my health challenges were too much to commit to sharing doTERRA essential oils locally,  I knew I couldn’t give up.  I feel so moved to share these oils and the help they have brought into my life.  So I turned online.  At first,  it felt a little bit impersonal.  I struggled to find my voice, and build my personal brand.  I struggled with compliance.  So much struggle too find my doTERRA family.  To find my “tribe”,  if you will.  Jo Ann is only one example of those who have joined my little oils family.  There’s Beth and Evyon,  and many more.

Is it hard?  Sometimes – especially if you don’t have a strong upline.  Does it take awhile?  Possibly, depending on how much time and effort you put into it.  Is it worth it?  Absolutely. I am so grateful to be a doTERRA consultant. It’s comforting to make a difference through my doTERRA story.

I’d Rather Touch Individual Lives Than Count Numbers

I’d rather touch lives than count numbers.  I do count the numbers and track statistics because it’s fun, as well as good doTERRA business sense.  But I’m going to bed with a smile tonight because of a successful online Epic Facebook party.  At the party, I touched individual lives,  and individuals thanked me for sharing my knowledge with them.  

Statistics aren’t what make me feel joy today.  But I smiled today,  because of one person who contacted me to compliment me on a blog post.  I teared up because of two people who told me how much the doTERRA cleanse helped them.  A cleanse that I walked through with them step by step.  

I was even inspired to write this post because of a team member who considers our doTERRA team to be like family.  Beating the numbers is fun.  But it’s in an individual life that I get to make a lasting difference.  And that single life is so much more important than any other number.

Would you like to make a difference, too? Come on over to my doTERRA website, and get started today as a doTERRA essential oils consultant. We’d love to have you join our oil family, too!

Do you do a weekly strategy session? Tactics witho Do you do a weekly strategy session? Tactics without strategy behind them, won't get you very far.  I find that it's important to look at my calendar for the week. I go forwards to see what's coming up.  Look back to see anything I missed, and reflect on anything that I could do differently in the future. Planning my week is a golden time for me!  Take a look at your own weekly calendar, and tell me what you find!  #weeklyplanning #sassysuite #calendar #womenempoweringwomen #dstips #doterra #bossgirls #femaleentrepreneur #directsales #planning #designyourlife #womenwhohustle #directseller #empowersocial #wellnessadvocate #bosschick #girlbosses #sundaystrategy #onlinemarketing #homebusiness #homebasedbusiness #workandtravel #solopreneur #workanywhere #businesses #beyourownboss #wahmlife #girlbosslife #myownboss #sidehustle
Who struggles with how long it's taking to get you Who struggles with how long it's taking to get your health to where you want it to be?  I remember as a kid,  I would always look for the crocus when winter was stretching too long for me to cope with.  Where I grew up,  winters were long and there was always lots of snow.  So sometimes when I'd find the first crocus,  there would still be snow on the ground!  But they were a sign that spring is coming!  And after the crocus, I knew my favorite flowers (lilacs) would bloom soon.  Maybe you can feel like that with your health goals.  The changes start out small,  and they poke through on our day to day like so unobtrusively that we could miss seeing them... unless we are looking for them.  Do you actively look for your health improvements are you are using natural products? If you don't, could you start?  #hope #doterra #naturalhealth #nourishyourbody #healthtips #naturalliving #happyandhealthy #healthyandhappy #stayhealthy #healthgoals #joy #healthgoal #springiscoming #healthcoach #healthandwellness #deepthoughts #spring #joyfilled #lifestylechanges #healthybodyhealthymind #almostspring #nontoxic #healthhacks #dreaming #selfcaretips #holistichealing #healthierme  #encouragement #favoriteflower #slowandsteady
You are so important, and you're worth fighting fo You are so important, and you're worth fighting for.  I didn't always believe that about myself,  but I do now.  That's why I'll always turn back around,  and try to help others that are stuck in the same way I was.  There ARE options out there. It IS possible to take control of your own health. Maybe everything seems dark now,  but the answers you're seeking will help you turn on the light again.  And until they do... be a fighter.  I'm so thankful now for all the years when I didn't give up. ๐Ÿ’œ  And I promise you will be, too.  .

How do you use Lavender essential oil? I love how How do you use Lavender essential oil?  I love how multi-purpose Lavender is.  It is an oil I reach for all the time.  And I order it nearly every month on my doTERRA LRP order.  I use Lavender oil for EVERYTHING.  From sleep,  calming,  seasonal discomfort,  anxious feelings,  small stings or minor burns.  And just because the smell is so amazing.  .

Ya'all... this truth bomb was dropped over in a do Ya'all... this truth bomb was dropped over in a doTERRA leader group today.  I can't get it out of my mind. Because I was scared of EVERYTHING when I first started on this journey.  Remembering my third oil class, when @alicesrahn pushed me off the ledge and said "You're teaching this one". I was shaking,  but I also nailed it,  signed up everyone in the room,  and taught my own classes ever since.  Or the times that @suitebrenda would bring the tough love until I leveled UP,  and when I thought I could coast,  she'd make me go level up again.  Because she saw something in me that I didn't see in myself (yet).  Even the first time I ordered doTERRA.  I was so scared and almost talked myself out of it multiple times.  I had ALL the excuses,  all the reasons why I should not spend $14 that we DIDN'T have on something that might not even work.  I was terrified!  But that moment of courage,  led to everything I have today.  "The people who are afraid, have the largest capacity for courage."  Dig into that courage,  whatever it is you're so scared to do.  Because you're scared you will fail,  but I promise that eventually you will FLY.  In that moment, you'll be grateful for every person who helped push you to grow bigger,  shine brighter,  and streeeetch into the person you truly were meant to become. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿฆ‹  .
