“This business is for the average person. You can do this. You don’t need a
superpower. You don’t need this crazy unique thing about you. You don’t have to
go Diamond in three weeks. Anybody can do this business.” —Jennifer Brady
my family, my children’s education, and team building and
income-producing activities. If it doesn’t fit into one of those
categories, I outsource it.
What tips do you have for balancing your
family and your business?
The beautiful thing about this business is that you own it—
you’re in charge of it. To stay organized, I use a color-coded
calendar. Kids have their own color, as well as my husband,
church, and my dōTERRA ® business. Every month, I highlight
all the children’s activities that I need to be at. Then once
family and church are accounted for, I go through and fill
in the rest of my time with dōTERRA. Because of this, I’ve
been able to homeschool my kids while building a successful
business. It’s amazing.
How do you and your husband, Doug, work together?
He technically doesn’t do the business with me, but he’s my
behind-the-scenes advisor. He is good at judging character.
He’ll say, “I know you’re thinking about making these people
qualifiers, but they don’t share your same values." Or, "This
isn’t a person you’re going to want to travel with." He is really
insightful. He helps me run our house and keep up with our
kids. Despite being extreme opposites—he’s introverted and
I’m extroverted—we completely balance each other out.
What advice would you give to someone with
a goal to reach Presidential Diamond?
Just keep going! It’s so easy to get distracted. There are so
many people offering coaching and systems, and it’s so easy
to get caught up in chasing shiny objects that people don’t
realize they aren’t actually building their business. You have
to keep laser focused on your goal of sampling, enrolling,
educating, and repeating. It’s simple, and sometimes people
make it too hard.
Why do you think reaching Presidential Diamond is a
worthwhile goal? What are the benefits you’ve seen?
Of course, the financial benefit, but that’s not even the
main thing. You have the ability to influence thousands and
thousands of people. You get to change the journeys of
generations of people, both their physical and financial health.
At this stage in your business, what motivates
you to keep going?
Two things motivate me. First is my family. Just knowing the
legacy I’m leaving for them. I have three sons and a daughter,
and I want my little girl to see that you can be an excellent
wife and mother—keeping your family a priority—while at the
same time being a successful businesswoman. The message
that the world gives us is that you have to choose family or
career. dōTERRA gives you the ability to do both in a way that
honors yourself and your family.
Second is my team. My jam is team culture. We have this
amazing team called the Brady Bunch. We’re mostly local, with
a few people in other states. My qualifiers are best friends.
We love each other. We have pretty much zero drama on our
team. It’s a fantastic culture because we find people who are
looking to be a part of something.
How has this business changed your life?
It has changed me on several levels. Of course, physically and
financially, but it has changed me inwardly as well. Before I
started my dōTERRA business, I thought I was a great leader.
I led at church and was on a board of directors. Once I got
into it, I realized how much I needed to learn. It’s been such
a personal journey of learning how to deal with thousands of
women and keep everyone happy and going.
Do you have anything else you would like to share?
I always preach that your business isn’t going to be
successful if you’re not building it with integrity. If you are
doing things like crash recruiting or things behind the scenes
that are not ethical and don’t fit into dōTERRA’s culture,
then you will not be successful long term in this business. It
took me five years to get to Presidential Diamond. It was a
little slow, but I can honestly say that my team has done it
completely with integrity.
