Every journey begins with a single step, and every empire begins with a single plot of land. For me, that first purchase wasn’t just a move on the map; it was a lesson—one that shaped how I approached Atlas Earth and built the legacy I have today.
It was a modest piece of land, unremarkable in size and yield. But it taught me lessons that no textbook or guide could provide. Today, I want to share those lessons with you, so your first plot can be the start of something extraordinary.
Lesson 1: Humility
When I bought my first plot, I wasn’t DonTerra. I was just another player trying to find my place on the map. That plot reminded me that greatness isn’t built overnight. It’s the small, deliberate steps that lead to big victories.
Takeaway: Don’t be discouraged by humble beginnings. Focus on progress, not perfection.
Lesson 2: Patience
After buying that first plot, I checked my earnings obsessively. At first, it seemed insignificant. But over time, as the rent accumulated, I realized the value of patience. Every coin collected was a step toward the next plot, the next expansion.
Takeaway: Success in Atlas Earth requires patience. Build steadily, and the rewards will come.
Lesson 3: Vision
That first plot wasn’t the end; it was the beginning. I didn’t buy it for what it was—I bought it for what it could become. It was part of a larger plan, one that would eventually lead to an empire.
Takeaway: Don’t just think about your next move; think about the next five. Every plot should fit into your long-term strategy.
Building Your Legacy
That first plot taught me everything I needed to know about becoming a Don. It wasn’t about the size of the land or the rent it brought in. It was about the mindset it gave me—one of humility, patience, and vision.
To those of you just starting your journey in Atlas Earth, remember this: Every empire starts small. What matters isn’t where you begin; it’s where you’re going. Learn from every move, adapt, and never lose sight of the legacy you’re building.
The map is yours to conquer. Start with one plot. Build your empire.
