A Responsibility to Share

Jody Hoffman found herself surrounded by thousands of dōTERRA ® Wellness Advocates in the Salt Lake City airport the day after convention in 2015. Upon boarding her flight, Jody realized that there were dozens of people on the plane wearing dōTERRA gear— giving her a memorable( and potent) first impression of the company. Surrounded by Wellness Advocates, Jody had an opportunity to learn about what essential oils were and how they could be used.

Although Jody and her husband, Bill, were comfortable using essential oils from the beginning, Jody felt a little overwhelmed at the prospect of participating in the dōTERRA business. While she had previous experience with a network marketing company, she wasn’ t sure that the business opportunity was for her. She remembers,“ I thought that you had to be a certain type of person to‘ do oils.’ I didn’ t think there was a place for me in the dōTERRA business.”
Jody and Bill continued to use essential oils in their home but didn’ t intend to pursue the business, or even share the oils openly. They finally decided to share the oils with a friend who they thought could use them and were amazed at the impact it made in their friend’ s life. Jody says,“ We realized that we couldn’ t keep doing this behind closed doors. We clearly understood our responsibility to make sure that everyone we loved knew the possibilities for their own health and wellness.” With a new-found excitement for sharing the oils, Jody dove into the business side of dōTERRA.
