NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND

BEYOND HER
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA
WILDEST IMAGINATION
Y
ou might think that having a
sister who is Double Presidential
Diamond would make it easy to build
a dōTERRA business—but Jessica
Klingbaum will tell you that isn’t
necessarily true. When Jessica’s sister,
Hayley Hobson, started her dōTERRA
business, Jessica wasn’t interested in
the opportunity or essential oils. Jessica
explains, “Hayley invited me to try the
products, but I wasn’t open to it. Hayley
and I live far apart, and we have very
different lifestyles.” Jessica was working
in New York as a TV producer, while
Hayley started her business in Colorado.
When Jessica’s mother suggested using
essential oils for a few health issues
she was struggling with, Jessica was
skeptical. The oils worked, however,
and Jessica told Hayley she wanted to
start purchasing dōTERRA products.
Hayley enrolled Jessica with an LRP
order and used her as a placeholder in
her growing business.
After repeatedly turning down Hayley’s
invitations to build her own business,
Jessica finally reached a turning point.
She recalls, “I was running a couple TV
shows but wasn’t feeling very engaged.
I wasn’t interested in that lifestyle
anymore.” Jessica decided to quit her
job and had her eye on a position at
a different TV network, but she took
some time off. During this time, she
started listening to Hayley’s dōTERRA
team calls and began taking a few
actions to help support the team that
had grown beneath her.
Then Jessica realized this was a new
lifestyle she had never experienced
or even dreamt of. “I realized after a
couple of months that I was sort of
doing the dōTERRA business. I was
able to take my kids to school in the
morning, be there when they got
home, and attend their after-school
activities, which I had never been able
to do before. It was beyond what I
had imagined.” Jessica decided to truly
commit to the dōTERRA opportunity.
Although Hayley had helped build a
team under Jessica, Jessica felt she was
coming into the business as a beginner.
At times, it wasn’t easy. She explains, “I
started at a higher rank because Hayley
had used me as a placeholder, but I
had to learn the basics. I was worried
that some people in my downline
would resent me for coming into the
business at a higher rank, and I had
reservations about the MLM structure.”
Now a Diamond thanks to her own
hard work and dedication, Jessica feels
comfortable in her business. “I’ve given
this business my all. I can see the effort
I’ve put into this and how I’ve grown.”
Jessica’s lifestyle has changed immensely
thanks to her dōTERRA business, as
has her awareness of her health. One
of the greatest changes she feels she
has experienced is thanks to personal
development. “In the corporate world,
the focus is often on developing certain
skills, so I didn’t understand the passion
for personal development in the
dōTERRA business community. Now I
love personal development, and I wish
more industries focused on it. It has
changed my life in so many aspects.”
Jessica is eager to see what other life
changes lie in store for her with the
dōTERRA opportunity.
“Your own belief and enthusiasm are contagious. That’s what draws people in.”
Dos and Don’ts
DON’T GET DISCOURAGED. “It’s true that the checks are small in the beginning, but everyone who starts a business
has to invest. It’s the long-term possibilities that make it worth it. Remember that even people who are in high ranks
now started out the same way. In what other business can you increase your income so quickly?”
DO GET STARTED. “Thinking of great ideas and generating plans for your business without executing them is useless.
You have to take the plunge! After you do it once, you’ll feel so relieved and you’ll improve from there. Don’t overthink
or overanalyze it—that prevents you from taking action. Get out there and do it.”
DON’T COMPARE. “Don’t compare yourself to anyone else in the business. There are people like Hayley who will
become very successful quickly, but not everyone will. It’s too easy to feel insignificant if you look at what everyone else
achieves and what you can’t. Celebrate all of your successes, big or small.”
