Freeing the Voices Within: Hosting a Class

In order to launch my new business, which is working as a Wellness Advocate for doTerra essential oils, I needed to host a class. My Upline is Mrs. T. She contacted me and we set up a date and time. I was nervous and excited all rolled into one.

I enjoy having people come to my house, I enjoy making things for them, and I enjoy having lots of kids running through the house.

Mostly I was nervous that I wouldn't have a good turnout. I wanted to be successful and start off strong, and that did happen. I really wanted to show how the oils could be used for cooking.

The class was to be held on a Sunday afternoon. Friday before the class I am trying to make truffles, but it wasn't working out, they weren't getting sticky. I set them aside and made the cookie dough for lemon flavored cookies instead. Saturday finds me cleaning and re-cleaning the entire house. I made chocolate chip cookie dough, and peppermint flavored brownies, and what was supposed to be cream puffs but looked more like colored sugar balls.

Ten o'clock Saturday night I was still cleaning and the final touch was cleaning the fingerprints off the glass doors. I fell into bed exhausted.

The day of my oils class dawned cold and rainy, not the hot and sunny I expected. Sometime in the night I woke up in a panic thinking I wouldn't have enough food. I convinced myself that I must make deviled eggs. In order to do this I had to run to the commissary. While there I added apples and mini oranges to my menu.

I make it home at noon and I have three hours to set up and make the eggs. I spent the early hours of the morning baking cookies. Lots and lots of cookies.

Hubby spent the morning getting his gear ready for work, and then at 2 p.m. he starts making lunch. We eat at 2:30 just when Mrs. T and Mrs. O arrive.

Once everyone started coming in it began to get a little crazy. There were four little girls running around and my son was playing with them too.

It was a little difficult for Mrs. T to speak because everyone was chatting and there were kids interrupting. Mrs. T did a fabulous job. She speaks so passionately about doTerra. The main reason my class was a success is her ability to speak from the heart, explain it where everyone understood, and glow with her belief. I hope to one day be like her. I know that she will go very far within this company.

I learned a lot. I learned how I want to present my information. I learned that getting people to attend is huge, but you have to be careful with making the classes open for the kids.

I am very thankful for all that Mrs. T did for me. I am very thankful for those that came and those that purchased.

The ideas in my head are plentiful and that makes me glad.
