Building dōTERRA Whatever Your Circumstances Part 3: Building dōTERRA Single( with or without children)
This is the final installment in our series featuring the stories of some of our leaders to illustrate how dōTERRA can be built no matter your life circumstances: married, single, with or without children, working a full-time job or not. Illness, finances, and tragedies have been obstacles for many, but many have also overcome those to still accomplish their dreams.
In this issue, we will be featuring leaders who are building the business while single, sometimes with children, sometimes without. Some are divorced, some are widowed, some have never been married, but they’ re all overcoming the odds to find time and financial freedom through dōTERRA.
BELOW, OUR LEADERS SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES:
Amy Jones, Silver dōTERRA allows me to be a work-fromhome mom and be intimately involved in my daughter’ s life. I can volunteer at her school. I can have lunch with her. I can be home when she gets home from school. We love the freedom dōTERRA offers and the fact that we can have the best of both worlds. I’ m widowed and all my biological family lives internationally. I have a lot of good reasons why dōTERRA can’ t happen for me. But, the truth is, if I can do this despite my circumstances and do it well, I truly believe anyone can. It’ s my goal to find single moms like myself and empower them to be able to take care of their families.
Donelle Smith, Gold I’ m single and a lot of people think being single means I don’ t understand what it’ s like to have a family and how busy that can make you. Singles fill that void with being busier than we expect while trying to reach a goal. I would say that being single is difficult when building because there isn’ t a support system, but it can be easier than carrying the burden of building and having to leave a family at home. I respect both ways that people build. I love that this business allows so much freedom to encompass both aspects.
Cate Fierro, Diamond It’ s a little crazy, but a beautiful crazy. If it were not for dōTERRA, I would not be able to be present to raise my three daughters. I have tried corporate settings before, and I hated missing out on their lives and time with them. Ten years ago I went through a very difficult divorce. We lost our home and nearly everything in it. I had done everything from cleaning to waitressing to graphic arts to customer service. It was very hard to be the kind of mom I wanted to be. For the first time in 25 years, I am able to pay my bills— all of my bills, on time— and still have something left over for us to enjoy ourselves. I took a whole month off last summer just to spend time with them. The blessings this company and opportunity have given us have been too many to count.
Rebecca Biggers, Gold When people ask me how I balance being a single mom and growing a business, I tell them that sharing these amazing products has only brought me more energy and calm in my everyday life. I know I’ m adding more hours to my day, but it does not feel like it. I think there were a lot more hours after the kids were asleep when I used to just watch TV. Now I’ m using that time for my business. Building this business so naturally gives me a feeling of peace. This peace is reflected in how I interact with my family. Our lives are so much less stressful knowing I have this. It’ s empowering.
Bettina Moench, Diamond I have another demanding job aside from dōTERRA. I work long hours and juggle schedules to make it work. I’ m a single person with a single income and therefore have no one else to rely on but myself to manage work demands, finances, and fit in personal time too. I am grateful for my growing income with dōTERRA and look forward to the day when I have one focus for financial freedom.
Tasha Sprovtsoff, Silver It’ s important to make time for each thing. It’ s OK to ask for and accept help. I created a spreadsheet with 15-minute time slots so I can map out the basics of my week to make sure I get my creative time as well as getting homeschool lessons in for my two kids and supporting my team. I am a widow and there
