of her best friends, Karen Roush, told her she
should try dōTERRA. After Jessica had used the
essential oils for a few months, Karen asked
if she would be interested in the business.
Jessica wasn’t at first. She had worked in a
nonprofit for orphan care for 10 years, but
soon saw that dōTERRA would be able to give
her family the financial support they really
needed and decided to do the business.

there. She says, “We felt that if we became a
team that focused on education and support
instead of just selling products, then we could
impact our city and the lives of the people in it.
We want to create a culture that people would
want to be a part of.” Reaching Diamond was
a team effort, and to this day her whole team
works together to grow dōTERRA as a whole.

IMPORTANT POINTS FOR SUCCESS
RELATIONSHIPS
“The key is relationships. Help people get what they want by taking
the pressure off so they can see the bigger picture and make a good
decision. Get out of your own way and see what people need, not
what you need.”
COACHING
“Get into a coaching program and system that is going to be right
for you. Go outside of whatever is in front of you if that’s not the
right fit. Find what you need to grow yourself.”
SIMPLE THINGS
“Do the simple things. Teach a ton of classes, follow up with people,
and find out what your community and your leaders want.”
ACCEPTANCE
“You’re going to want to quit at some point. Just accept that and
make a plan for what you’re going to do when that happens.”
