Kurt Jensen knew they wanted to
start a dōTERRA business. Lindsay says,
“Honestly I really had hardly even tried
the products; I had just tried a couple
drops of Lavender. I was just sold on
the testimonials—each story was more
like a miracle to me. I know it wasn’t a
coincidence how it all happened. I felt like
it was God’s perfect timing.” She and Kurt
made the decision together, and after
thinking about it for two days, purchased
an Every Oil Kit.

Afterward, Farrah would stay the night
at the Jensen’s house and help make
samples until two in the morning.
Lindsay explains, “I was literally losing
sleep at night because I had such a
long list of people I wanted to share
with and I couldn’t possibly make
samples quickly enough on my own.”
Having a great support system in place
has been huge for Lindsay. She says,
“I believe in having a set up chain of
authority for when I need help. God is
first, then my husband, my upline, my
account manager, my crossline friends,
and my downline.” Lindsay especially
knows she would be nowhere without
Kurt. “At convention, a friend of ours
and they called us rock stars. Kurt had
a big grin come across his face and he
told me, ‘Yeah, I am the rock and you
are the star.’ I liked it because even
though I’m more the face of dōTERRA,
he’s the behind-the-scenes guy, and
he’s been so involved and supportive.”

one winter prepared her in a big way
to do a dōTERRA business. There was
a record snowfall that year and most
photographers gave up because they
were looking to shoot on “bluebird days”
or clear days after a night of snowfall.
Lindsay went up the mountain snow or
no snow. “I could sell pictures to people
in the middle of a snowstorm when my
co-workers had given up due to the low or
no visibility. It was good field experience in
getting to know people and encouraging
them. I could help convince people why
they should come and look at my photos
of them, and reassure them that there

helped us define our working relationship
“We sometimes have hard
days—or what we call a
‘parachute day.’ You don’t
want to throw yourself
out of the plane without a
parachute. I allow myself
to have hard days without
making any rash decisions
about giving up or quitting.
Then I get up and go back
to work.”

CONTACT YOUR ACCOUNT MANAGER WEEKLY. “Talk to them about
your aspirations and goals. They can be your greatest coaches and your
biggest cheerleaders. Also, take advantage of other wonderful resources
to keep educated and organized: your upline, the Success System, and books
such as The Slight Edge.”
2
LEARN TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. “Surround yourself with those
who believe in you—people in your upline, crossline, or accountability
partners can be great belief incubators. Work your business one day at
a time to keep a positive perspective. Focus on maintaining the belief that you
can make your big goal.”
3
TAKE A WALK WHEN YOU NEED TO. “We all have rough days when we
want to quit our business. Begin to recognize the signs of when one of
those days is starting and give yourself permission to take a break. Take
a walk, pray, play with your kids, paint, etc. Then get back to work refreshed.”
4
INVITE GOD INTO YOUR BUSINESS. “It was tremendously powerful
when I discovered that I could have both a business and God’s blessing
at the same time. I did not have to sacrifice one for the other. I can
bless my customers by praying specifically for them, and I also pray for my
business goals to be met. Influence, wisdom, and blessings multiply in your
business when you place God first.”
