NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS
Justin & Tara Wagner
FORT WALTON BEACH , FLORIDA , USA
One of Tara Wagner ’ s life coaching clients reached out to her about getting involved in the dōTERRA business opportunity . Tara was not interested . She had been a massage therapist and used essential oils for 12 years , and thought they were mostly a bunch of hype . Her client asked if she could send her some oils to try — including a 15 mL bottle of Frankincense . Tara says , “ It was the best investment she ever made . I opened that Frankincense and I could feel the difference .” She decided to give the oils a try and was amazed by her experiences . She started sharing with her family and her clients , but it took another year before she really got involved in the business .
Self-employed her whole life , Tara was starting to hit a level of exhaustion from constantly trading hours for dollars and starting over from zero every month . The idea of residual income started to have some appeal . At first , she just focused on the Power of 3 . She knew an extra $ 1,500 a month would take a lot of stress out her life . All she had was five hours a week to devote to dōTERRA , and she did that for six months until her upline called her and told her she was Silver . Tara ’ s response was , “ I don ’ t know what that means .”
Tara didn ’ t know much of what she was doing for her first few years . She says , “ Things were just disastrous . I made every mistake I could possibly make and was totally burnt out . I didn ’ t understand placements or qualifying who I was building with . I spent a lot of time and energy building everything myself , reinventing the wheel , and doing everything from scratch .” Three years after enrolling , she was ready to quit entirely .
She had won the incentive trip that year , so she told her husband , Justin , that they were going on the trip but they wouldn ’ t talk about the business . But , as they met other successful leaders , they soon ended up spending the whole trip talking about the business , asking questions , and discovering duplication systems . About a year later , they reached Diamond . Tara says , “ It felt like we did it from scratch . It felt like we built it all in a year instead of four years . For the first three years we learned how not to do it and in the fourth year we learned what to do . We stopped trying to make people love the business like we love it , and instead found people who were as passionate as we were . That brought back the fun and the joy .”
Now , Tara is excited to be a part of something revolutionary . She says , “ I think in 20 years we ’ re going to look back and realize that we were at the forefront of something . We ’ re encouraging people to take back their health and work in a radically different way . I don ’ t even think we see the full impact we ’ re having , but I can feel it . We ’ re revolutionaries .”

“ It doesn ’ t matter if you and your leaders are the exact same or if you do things the same way . There ’ s actually a lot of value in finding someone who complements your weaknesses , but you can ’ t drag anyone along .” |
“ If your leaders don ’ t love this business as much as you do , you can ’ t build it for them . You ’ re more than doubling your work . You ’ ve got to have partners in this and it has to be people who are as committed and passionate as you are .” |
“ Find one system . I don ’ t even know if it matters which system you use , but you ’ ve got to find a system . You cannot reinvent the wheel . You cannot do it all . You have to model duplication and not make it harder than it has to be .” |
“ dōTERRA is full of people who love freely , who are self-aware , passionate , and accepting , and that has to change you . You can ’ t not grow in that environment . People who are hungry for those connections will flourish and bloom .” |
