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.”

The Winning Entry

August 4, 2011

We want to thank everyone who took the time to participate in the Essential 7 blog contest. The number of quality responses overwhelmed us and made it difficult to pick just one winner. It was exciting to see how many people’s lives have been improved by the power of essential oils. We would like to share our favorite entries:
Winning entry:
I have been using Young Living essential oils for more than a year now and will never go back. I’m a 22-year-old dance teacher who has seen her share of injuries. I have had a bad hip for about five years now and was told I would need an expensive operation to correct it.
I then turned to Young Living’s PanAway®. It was the best thing ever and now my hip doesn’t limit my activity level. I don’t go anywhere without it and my students are always asking to borrow it. Thanks, Young Living!
-Karlie Gilbert
Runner up:
My husband was a non-believer in the power of the oils until one day when he came home from work in an extra grumpy mood. The combination of work, money, and our two noisy children pushed him over the edge. I was not going to let his grumpiness rub off on me, so I added a couple of drops of Peace and Calming® to our diffuser and to my neck without saying a word to him. All the while, my hubby was in the kitchen grumpily muttering about options for dinner and dirty dishes piled in the sink.
After about five minutes—the time it took for the scent to make it to the kitchen—he started humming under his breath and then he came up behind me and said “I don’t think I got a kiss when I got home.” I giggled under my breath and we went on to have a peaceful and calming evening. Did I mention our children didn’t fuss the rest of the evening? I told him later that night what I had done and he admitted that Young Living Essential oils “might” actually work!
-Amanda Smith

Emotional Release with PanAway and OrthoEase

March 2, 2011

Stress is a normal part of life, but left unchecked, it may create undesirable effects in the body, mind, and spirit. Stress may lead to deeper problems such as negative emotions like fear, anger, and sadness.
Negative emotions can be held in the body, including being stored in the muscles. Holding emotions in the body generates stress on the muscles as they tighten. Essential oil products like PanAway® essential oil blend and Ortho Ease Massage Oil are natural ways to release unwanted emotions from muscles. Here are a few easy steps to help release unwanted emotions using PanAway and Ortho Ease:
1. Use a drop of PanAway over the heart to assist the pain or discomfort that might be held in the heart from negative emotions.
2. PanAway taken internally will help release the emotional part of the pain.
3. PanAway may also be applied topically over aches and pains to release unwanted emotions stored in the affected area of the body. It also nourishes and supports the muscles.
4. Ortho Ease is great to use as a massage oil to help relieve muscle pain that may be a result of holding in negative emotions. The essential oils in Ortho Ease nourish the muscles and assist in releasing emotions.
Next time you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stop and take some time for yourself. Indulge in a nice massage or use these helpful stress management tools, and don’t forget to let PanAway and Ortho Ease transform you!
Peace be with you,
Kaye Lynne
