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 .”
