actually do the basics, they actually work. It’s just a matter of
being willing to be trained and put in the time. I do believe this
is a business that anybody can do if they love the oils and take
the time to share them.
WES: Building a successful dōTERRA business can be like
running a marathon, but you have to take it mile by mile. You

OK to be uncomfortable. This business is tough when you’re
just getting started. You have to expand your environment
and get out of the little environment you’ve been in for so
long. It can be hard to enter someone’s personal space and
tell them about the oils, but what I’m learning is that people
