I have a friend who I met a long time ago in California and then kept in touch with for awhile after I moved to Texas and then we just kind of drifted away from talking. After I got married, I got myself a new email account and then was never able to get back into the old one, so there were some people I accidently cut off communication with! Anyway, she commented on someone's FB post one day and I messaged her on the off-chance it was the same person, and it was!
Then, a few months later, she posted a few things about using essential oils. I messaged her for more information. As a nurse, I wholeheartedly believe in medication. But also as a nurse, I wholeheartedly believe there are typically more than one way to treat ailments and they are worth exploring. I had great success with using an oil blend to help with my cedar allergies which was HUGE in my world. My doctor told me to use whatever works--she is a big fan of the least medical intervention possible to get her patients back to healthy which is a big reason why I love her.
I purchased a starter kit and noticed it was setting me up to also sell the oils if I wanted to but there wasn't an obligation to do so. I have done this kind of sales in the past with kind of an overall "eh" experience. I see how you can make enough money to have it be your sole source of income, but I never felt like I could get a straight answer out of the people who had been doing it longer than me about their business strategies or how long it took them to make good money and what "good money" even meant.
But then the oils in the starter kit worked. All of them, for various issues in my household. I found I could combat everyone's allergies at the same time by running the diffuser in the living room. The boys calmed down easier and slept longer when I applied oils to their necks and feet. So many good things and without having to give out medicine like it was candy. I decided to sell the oils to have money to buy more oils.
And that's how I became a Lemon Dropper.
The Lemon Dropper way of things is fantastic, because exactly like this video says, I'm included. I have a great group of support in all things oily (questions about how to get rid of a headache or ways to make a fantastic smelling bath or anything else I can think of plus the business side of things). There's no secretive ploys to get me to buy more inventory. Everyone I've encountered is open and honest with how they have achieved their various successes and genuinely wants anyone who wants to succeed get there, too.
I love it. I love the oils and what they've done and continue to do for my family. I love that I have all of these amazing marketing resources and people to help me build my business. And I love that there's no timeline pressure or anyone bugging me to place another order--I can go exactly how fast I want to go. Which is pretty slow, these days! But even with a slow hustle, I'm making enough money to cover almost everything I order for myself. My Lemon Dropper friends who are hustling quickly? They are making twice the company's average commission statements.
Today is the two year anniversary of the creator of the Lemon Dropper team's start of selling Young Living Oils. I just wanted to share this video she made for everyone. I'm glad to be a part of the team!
