NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS
Karl & Rebekah Barlow
PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, AUS
When Rebekah Barlow was introduced to dōTERRA essential oils, she already had a successful direct sales company. However, she loved the oils and started sharing them casually with her friends and family. Then a couple of years ago, Rebekah and her husband, Karl, decided to hit the road full time to travel Australia with their business; Karl ran a trade business, while Rebekah homeschooled their kids.
After traveling Australia full time with their four children for one year, Rebekah and Karl were feeling stressed. Rebekah remembers,“ Karl was exhausted, and running his trade business for 10 years had seriously affected his mental health and energy levels. He was unable to work much on the road, and our finances were extremely tight. It was the most worrying time of my life.” Thankfully, Rebekah was getting her oils for free at the time thanks to her sharing. When her Diamond leader, Helen Shaw, suggested that Rebekah dive into the dōTERRA business and begin sharing more actively, Rebekah was hesitant.
But she decided to go for it, paid her way to the Australian Leadership Retreat with her dōTERRA earnings, and found a turning point.
At Leadership Retreat, Rebekah caught“ the dōTERRA bug,” and she hasn’ t looked back since. She fully committed to her business and quickly advanced, especially after participating in Diamond Club. Now, Rebekah loves to share this opportunity with others.“ I recommend this business because it brings joy, deep satisfaction, friends, freedom, and personal development. It brings people hope, in a time when so many people have none.” Thanks to her success, Rebekah and her husband were able to sell their traditional business, and Karl now works full time with Rebekah.
As she continues to build, Rebekah keeps her sights set on her Why: to maintain financial and time freedom for their family while doing something that fills their souls. She explains,“ We feel called to service, and our ultimate dream is to be able to give our time and resources to charitable projects in Australia and overseas in ways we feel led. We would like to show our kids how they can be of service in the world.”
For Rebekah, being of service starts with caring for the individual. When she shares essential oils or the business opportunity, she focuses on each person’ s needs.“ People need to feel that you are genuine, and not just about a quick sale. Building a relationship with someone new is never a loss. I try to always come from the aspect of service and have the person’ s best interests at heart. I try to connect with them, and make them feel valued, loved, and special.”
Rebekah feels that this focus on connection and authenticity makes dōTERRA different. She says,“ dōTERRA has the most amazing heart for service of any company I have ever seen. It gives people the opportunity to become involved in something bigger than themselves, to make a difference, and to still experience financial abundance. I have never seen such an amazing culture.” From here, Rebekah and her family are eager to continue serving and growing with dōTERRA.

Look for class hosts.“ I find it is best to ask a person who knows they need the oils in their life if they would like to host a class. I have found that a lot of my builders bud from class hosts. At a class, they are inspired and can see it is a simple and fulfilling way to cover the cost of their oils, or more. From there, the business opportunity seed grows in them, just as it did in me.”
Be the example.“ Highlight the average incomes, and show people that these ranks and the freedom that comes with them are highly achievable. Tell them your story and journey, and the journey of those above you that inspire you. It can be a foreign concept that people can earn great money while doing something worthwhile that they love, but when they begin to believe this is possible, the magic starts to happen.”
Attract the right people.“ I am a believer of meeting people where they are, listening deeply, caring, and connecting regularly. The rest will naturally follow. It’ s about attracting the right people through your attitude. We are able to offer the inspiring reality of being involved in something bigger than ourselves, making a real difference in the life of others, and creating time and financial freedom.”
