Combining a Passion for Oils with Business Savvy

Linda Scott

Linda Scott knows she is in the right place at the right time. As one of the leaders of her Young Living Essential Oils “Dream Team,” Linda's passion for essential oils and her business know-how has allowed her to enroll nearly 300 Young Living distributors in just a year and a half.
The love for her mother, Emma Jean Scott, led Linda to Young Living in 2005 after watching her suffer with severe pain in her left leg. Numerous tests failed to produce a diagnosis. While her mother continued to lose weight and experience pain, a friend told Linda about Young Living Essential Oils.
Willing to try anything, Linda purchased Aroma Siez™, Aroma Life™, PanAway®, and Relieve It™ essential oil blends. After using the oils, Linda says her mother's discomfort subsided. Then new to the world of essential oils, Linda felt she didn't have enough time to treat her mother.
Sadly, Emma Jean passed away December 30, 2005. It was then that Linda committed herself to learning everything she could about essential oils, “I never want someone else's mother to go through what my mother went through.”
Linda remained true to her vow. She devoted herself to learning everything she could about essential oils. When she came home from Young Living's 2006 Grand Convention, an annual meeting of Young Living distributors from around the globe, she was laid off from her job as a legal assistant. Instead of panicking, she “praised the Lord,” and dove into Young Living full-time.
She told herself, “Oils are a blessing, but I need to make a living. I have combined my passion for oils along with my business savvy.”

Business Building

Along with her passion and tenacious attitude, Linda says the key to her rapid success is threefold: a nurturing upline with wonderful women, such as Linda Greenfield and Vicki Opfer; a dedicated business mentor and friend, Emmanuel Redding; and faith in the Holy Spirit.
Linda's strong team is what keeps her fire and momentum because, she says, “Team work makes dream work.” When it comes to her Dream Team, Linda says, “We are a force to be reckoned with. They keep me going on the right track and I love them all very much.”
A firm believer in Young Living and its founder Gary Young, Linda and her Dream Team's goal is to create “health disciples.” Linda shows people the importance of Young Living and states that, “Once a person has a life-changing experience, they look at the business aspect differently. The key is communication and building relationships; people want to know how much you care, not how much you know.”
As Linda works toward her goal of reaching Crown Diamond, Young Living's highest distributor rank, her advice to other business builders is to not get discouraged. Grateful for the help she has received from her mentors and her daughter, Brittany, Linda says to anyone needing advice, “Call the Dream Team. We will help.”
