Don ’ t Count Anyone Out
When they first signed up with dōTERRA , Suzanne and Derek weren ’ t what some might have assumed to be ideal builders . “ We ’ d just moved thousands of miles across the country from South Jordan , Utah , to Little Rock , Arkansas , for Derek to go to law school ,” Suzanne recalls . “ I was a stay-at-home homeschool mom . We had eight children , at the time ranging from age two to in college . And we were on a super tight budget .” So tight that they couldn ’ t even afford the essential oils they loved , which they were introduced to by Wellness Advocate Gale Sangren .
However , Gale informed them they could earn free products by sharing with others . “ We had few friends as we were in a new place , knew next to nothing about the industry , and didn ’ t know if we could teach a good class ,” Suzanne says . They weren ’ t confident they could make it work as a business or even get the free oils .
But with the faith Gale showed in them and their own growing desire to live their ideal life , Suzanne and Derek decided to go all in together . “ We taught as many classes as we could as fast as possible , sharing about these wonderful products so that we could have the money we needed for our loyalty order . But we were surprised by the success we found .” Together , the couple elevated their business to heights they hadn ’ t even imagined . “ We built this dōTERRA business together as a couple from the beginning . Ever since , we both try to attend all the classes we can . And we love to teach classes together or to take turns with who teaches . We ’ ve done Diamond Club three times .”
Their experiences building a dōTERRA business taught Suzanne and Derek two useful lessons . “ People can reach their dōTERRA goals as long as they stay committed and maintain forward movement each day .” It wasn ’ t easy to start where they did , but by combining their talents , persevering , and believing strongly in the opportunity in front of them , Suzanne and Derek made it a success , realizing this : “ Don ’ t count anyone out . Those with low income , busy schedules , or any other seeming disadvantages — no one . Absolutely everyone needs these oils .”
What Suzanne and Derek love most about their dōTERRA business is that it ’ s entirely theirs . “ We can work it into our day as we see fit ,” says Suzanne . “ We never have to miss an important family event because we can choose when we work . It ’ s amazing .” Being able to live life on their terms has increased their desire to share dōTERRA . To all builders and customers , Suzanne advises , “ Let ’ s share the incredible opportunity that dōTERRA offers with everyone , regardless of socioeconomic status or any other perceived advantages or disadvantages in life .”
I ’ ve developed so much more confidence — confidence that I can care for my family with pure essential oils , confidence that I can teach a good class , confidence that I can share wisdom with the world . And I ’ m more confident than ever that there ’ s someone out there who ’ s searching for the answers have .
