“ We never just try to make a sale. We say,‘ We want to add value to your life.’” – Kenny
Stephanie Wahlberg was introduced to dōTERRA by a longtime friend, Kerri Lydell. Stephanie was intrigued at first, but lost interest when she found out it was a network marketing company. After attending convention, Kerri felt strongly that she needed to approach Stephanie again. Kerri then gave Stephanie an Introductory Kit and Stephanie discovered the effectiveness of Lavender on her children. She and her husband, Kenny, later had amazing personal experiences with the oils that had them hooked.
Kenny quickly saw that the oils were going to become an addiction for Stephanie. They have seven kids and Kenny worked doing finance, HR, and compliance for their church, so they didn’ t have the money to afford oils every month.
So, he suggested Stephanie find out how she could get them paid for. She started holding classes, and enrolled 22 people in her first month.
Stephanie had been asking God for several months for a way out of their financial situation. She knew she couldn’ t afford daycare for seven children if she went back to work full time, and she wanted to be able to homeschool them. When dōTERRA came into their lives, at first Stephanie was mad and didn’ t want anything else on her plate. She says,“ I felt like God said to me,‘ You asked for help. This is your answer.’ All of sudden, everything changed and I realized this could help us financially and I could still be home with my children. After that, I embraced it fully.”
The Wahlbergs helped start their church 18 years ago and before they had kids always enjoyed working together. Once they saw that dōTERRA could provide for them, they started to plan for Kenny to come home. He quit sooner than they had originally thought, while they were still Gold, but the combination of him coming home and doing Diamond Club pushed them to Diamond. Kenny says,“ Making the leap made all the difference.”
Five years ago, Kenny and Stephanie moved to Foresthill to have more space for their growing family. Their new property had a deck, and they started having coffee on their deck every morning. Kenny says,“ We would sit out there and talk about our kids, our lives, and our dreams. Once we started doing dōTERRA, we started talking about our team, listening to mentor calls, and reading personal development books. We did that for an hour or two every day. You can’ t not grow in your life if you’ re doing that.”
They’ re grateful that because of dōTERRA they can spend more time together and help others at the same time. Kenny says,“ It’ s always been in our heart to help as many people as possible, and now we have a way to monetize that. It’ s like a dream come true.”
