DON’T BE TOO HARD ON
YOURSELF. “I get really OK
with not being OK. I try not
to be too hard on myself. If
I don’t get one thing done,
then there will be another
thing that I do get done.
As long as I’m getting
something done, I’m moving
forward and I’m hanging
in there.” ACCEPT THAT THINGS
WON’T GET DONE. “I
officially only work two
days a week, so I can’t get
everything that I want to do
done. I just fit it all into the
cracks. I make my to-do list
and I never give up working
on it, even if things don’t go
my way or I don’t make all
my goals.” DO WHAT YOU LOVE.
“You’ll find things that you
love and that fill you up, then
you’ll find the things that
aren’t easy for you. You can
either find a team member
that’s good at those things
or you can consider hiring
someone for help.” HAVE REALISTIC
EXPECTATIONS.
“You can’t compare yourself
to people who gave up their
life to make this a yearlong
commitment to work their
tails off if you can’t do that
or don’t want to. That’s still
OK. You just can’t expect
the same results when
you’re not making the same
commitment—but you can
still expect results.”
both Peggy and Kristi got involved with
dōTERRA. Kristi signed Dominique up and
sent her a kit. That kit sat on Dominique’s
counter for a long time. She gradually
started sharing the essential oils she had
with others, and was amazed when people
kept coming back for more.
Finally, Kristi invited Dominique to come
with her on a trip she had won to Mexico—
if she also went with her to the dōTERRA
convention. Dominique went and was
impressed with how well the owners were
able to answer the questions that she had.

couldn’t do it without their support.” She
is grateful to be living her passion and
be a part of a vision for empowering and
lifting people to be their best.
She says, “After being at that conference,
I realized I was all in, because of the answers
that I got about where the company was
going, what their vision for it was, and also
because of the things that I learned about
the power of the essential oils.”
That convention created a passion inside
of Dominique, and gradually she got more
and more involved in growing a team and
a business. As a homeschooling mom and
a pastor’s wife, Dominique always wanted
to make sure that God and family came
first. She learned how to fit her dōTERRA
business into the cracks in her life. She
says, “I have to be really intentional. I think
sometimes people get discouraged because
they think they have to have it all together
