Rebecca’ s passion for the business and oils has had a great impact on her family as well. A year into the dōTERRA business, Nathan, Rebecca’ s husband, joined her in the business, putting his own business aside. Together, they have been working as a powerful team. Rebecca says,“ Nathan is naturally drawn to the areas of the business that I am not, so it works out perfectly. I focus more on the front line and team calls, classes, and trainings, and Nathan will do most of the back office stuff, balancing accounts, end-of-month activities, and emailing.”
Rebecca and Nathan have also appreciated the strong support of Rebecca’ s mother who has helped them balance family time and business time. Rebecca feels that her mom has been key to her success by helping take care of their three daughters while Rebecca does classes and trainings. Her mom has believed in her and has been influential in helping them grow their business.
For Nathan and Rebecca, achieving Diamond has brought rich rewards. Rebecca says,“ I am really starting to feel the benefits of having less financial stress. I also feel so fulfilled doing a job that is not only providing for our family, but one I can get really excited about because I am helping people every day either with the oils or the business. It feels so good to be part of something that is really making a difference.”
