and to take as many people with me as I can . I know that God has given me the strength and passion for this , and I want to use that to allow Him to shine through me . I also want my leaders ’ dreams to come true . I love working with them and guiding them on the path to their best selves .”
Kari has also enjoyed getting back to the roots of pharmacy , without having to compromise what matters most to her . She says , “ Plants are nature ’ s health remedy and are all people had thousands of years ago . I love that I can serve people in this awesome way , using the remedy God provided .”
Along the way , Kari has been supported by an incredible network of family members , including her parents and in-laws , her sister , and especially her husband , B . J . In the beginning , B . J . was supportive of Kari ’ s passion and later saw the vision of where the business would go . He has also taken a behindthe-scenes role in the business , working with finances , the back office , planning , and networking . Kari ’ s sister has also played a huge role in her journey , and she loves that they can work together while living their passion .
Kari ’ s experience with her dōTERRA business is in complete contrast with her life in the pharmacy world . She says , “ I went from a stressed-out pharmacist to living a life I could have only dreamt about . I get to be with my kids more and make my house more of a home . We have paid off almost all of our debt , including a large amount of student loans with the help of B . J .’ s planning and my income from dōTERRA . I had forgotten how to dream , and dōTERRA gave that back to me . I ’ m forever grateful God saw more in me and brought me out of comfort and monotony into such an incredible life .”
“ Make no excuses . Don ’ t wait on your team to go out there and do it for you . You have to decide that you are 100 percent committed and make it happen no matter what .”
SIMPLE STEPS TOWARD SUCCESS
FOCUS ON WHAT IS IMPORTANT . “ Don ’ t think you have to know everything before you get started . I knew nothing about oils before I got my first kit , and I just spoke from experience — which is what people want to know , and it ’ s why they buy .”
BECOME PART OF THE CULTURE . “ Almost everyone I have ever met in dōTERRA really does want to help . Whether it benefits them or not , they just want to see others succeed and be of service where they can .”
SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE . “ It helps tremendously to be around like-minded people . You get ideas from them , and they push you to move faster and get out of your comfort zone . You can also share ideas , which is great .”
“ The product speaks for itself . You do not have to sell anything . All I really do is share and educate , and the oils do the rest for me .”
