hile working as a dental hygienist
and as a nanny on the weekends,
Katee was diagnosed with depression.
She was extremely exhausted all the time,
but felt uncomfortable with the diagnosis
and started looking for other options
to help with her problem. She attended
an oil class taught by Robin Jones, who
recommended she try Lifelong Vitality.
Katee says that within three days of
receiving her vitamins, she felt a complete
turnaround. She says, “From there,
I felt compelled to learn all I could
about dōTERRA.”
Feeling young and inexperienced, Katee
had been reluctant to step into a
leadership role with her team. She
decided she needed a mentor to help
her and found Tiffany Peterson online.
She says, “I had a free consultation with
her, and she told me her price—it was
the same amount of money I was making
monthly with dōTERRA. But, I still felt
strongly about doing it.” She made the
investment, and it made all the difference
in her business. “She opened my mind
to the idea that I was a leader, and I had
something to offer my team.”
Once Robin told Katee about the business
opportunity, she was excited to get
involved. After reaching Silver, she hit a
wall and wondered if she could continue.
Then, someone in her downline called
her and told her she needed an upline.
She wanted to know if Katee was going to
be her leader or not. At that point, Katee
was working full time, was a new mom,
and was trying to run a business. She felt
overwhelmed. After getting off the phone
with her downline, she went and told Kyle
that she was going to quit dōTERRA.
She says, “Kyle calmed me down and peptalked me. Shortly after, I decided to make
a mission statement about dōTERRA, my
future, and my family, and how it all fit
together. It just started flowing, and I felt
like I knew again that this was where I was
supposed to be.”
Katee eventually quit her job and started
working toward bringing Kyle home as
well. From there, they were able to hit
Diamond. Kyle has since learned the
benefits of letting go of carefully laid plans.
He says, “We busted our butts to get us
both educated and in good-paying jobs,
and I was really attached to that plan.
Now, I know that you need to recognize
those times when diverging from your
plans will bring a lot more blessings.
Honor those feelings that are confirming
that you need to go to a greater path.”
Katee adds, “I never in a million years
would have ever thought that a 24-yearold girl with no knowledge of business
would be able to get to where we are
now. I was happy doing what we were
doing, but this is a better plan than I
ever could have imagined.”

“No matter how good
of a plan you lay out
for your life, don’t be
beholden to it. There
just might be something
better out there.” –Kyle
BECOMING A
LEADER
Always start within.
“What you’re creating is a direct
reflection of what is within you, so
start with yourself. Find what your
strengths are and utilize them the
best you can. Be aware of your
weaknesses and do your best to
strengthen them.” –Katee
Follow the leaders.
“So many people feel like they
need to reinvent the wheel and
know everything. Instead, follow
those who ha ve been there
before. Take their counsel and
implement it.” –Kyle
Trust in the
process. “Sometimes the
process is long. People start to
lose faith when success doesn’t
come at the speed they want it to.
Don’t quit. As long as you’re doing
what you’re supposed to, you will
be successful.” –Kyle
Invest in yourself.
“If you’re committed to making
this work, you have to invest in
your business. The number one
investment would be yourself.
Hire a coach, take online classes—
work on personal development.
It’s so important.” –Katee
