Make It Happen
A
fter earning the rank of Premier
and qualifying for Diamond Club,
Anastasia was ready to hit the road and
make her dream of a prosperous life
for her family happen. “I booked a heap
of classes into three days, with my new
baby and husband coming with me.
We flew to the east coast of Australia
and drove a car for six hours.” What
happened next, she didn’t expect: her
first class had a few people, but the
following seven classes were absolutely
nothing but cancellations and no-shows,
even with all her efforts and planning.
Anastasia remembers a moment in
the car. Her baby girl looked utterly
exhausted in her car seat. Anastasia

The Business Is Different for Everyone
For Anastasia, having her family involved and supporting her business has made a huge impact on
her success. Some weeks, her husband has to work more hours, so she has to dial back her efforts to
focus on their family. Other weeks, he’s home in the evenings, and Anastasia can devote more time
to her business. And with everything she’s done in the last year—convention, leadership, classes—her
children accompanied her. “They’ve lived the dōTERRA life,” she says. “They know and love the oils.
They know what Mum is doing, and that’s been really helpful.”
What her experiences show, and what Anastasia advocates, is that “a dōTERRA business is different
for everyone, and that’s one of the most beautiful things about it. It’s financial freedom and
independence adapted to your personal needs.”
