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 .
