HOPE FOR
FREEDOM
M
ichelle McVaney was looking for
answers to some health problems
she'd been having. She explains, “I had
been going to doctors for two years. They
couldn't figure out what was wrong with
me, so I started doing some research
and going to a natural doctor who got
me started on the path to wellness.
At that time, I also started researching
essential oils.” From there, Michelle
started looking at different essential oils
companies and decided to use dōTERRA
because of the Certified Pure Therapeutic
Grade standard. Once she started using
the oils, people around her noticed a
difference and wanted the oils too. Her
sister, Christina Peters, quickly decided to
jump onboard. Michelle says, “We had no
intention of having a business; it fell in our
laps. It just took off, and I told Christina, ‘I
think we have a business.’”
Michelle and Christina both felt that
dōTERRA was different and wanted to
build to Diamond to achieve financial
freedom from debt incurred by a previous
business. Christina says, “One of the things
that sets dōTERRA apart is the fact that
everybody can use oils—all the way from
newborns to senior adults. There is no end
to the people we can reach.” They have
created success on their team through
continually setting up classes with
hostesses. Christina explains, “We have

people volunteer to host a class in their
home and then they invite people to come
to the classes. We’ve never really had
problems with people getting their friends
and family to come because we share oils
with the hostess so they can have an oil
experience and be really excited about
dōTERRA. That excitement just carries
over when they invite people to come.”
They then teach their team the same
strategies for setting up classes. Michelle
says, “We try to keep everything as
duplicable as possible, and that’s why our
team is growing and thriving. Every time we
do something we ask ourselves ‘Are people
on our team going to be able to do this?’”
Even as they work toward financial freedom,
Michelle and Christina say they have seen
other ways that dōTERRA has changed
their lives. Christina says, “dōTERRA has
allowed me the opportunity to be able
to stay at home with my children and
also have the hope that we are going to
become financially free.” Michelle adds,
“For me, the big thing was my health.
I was a huge mess with no hope because
the doctors couldn’t figure out what was
wrong with me. Now, I’m completely healthy
and I’m about to retire from my teaching
job to do dōTERRA fulltime. That’s a huge
change for me, to be able to do something
where I’m my own boss.”
Set smart goals. “We’re very passionate about setting goals. We make
sure we set smart goals that are lofty, but achievable.” –Michelle
Focus on doing what it takes. “We are driven to achieve our
goals. We sometimes think we won’t make it, but we do whatever it takes.
Sometimes that requires doing 15 more classes on top of what we’ve already
done or staying up all night trying to figure out ideas for what we’re going to
do next—but we do it.” –Michelle and Christina
Believe you can. “One of our uplines shared something with us about
‘bending reality.’ This is when something seems impossible, but you can do it
if you absolutely believe that you can, because you will find a way. Once we
decide that we’re going to do something, we figure out how we’re going to
make it happen.” –Christina
“For us, dōTERRA was the perfect opportunity because we
were already passionate about sharing natural health care
alternatives with people.” –Christina
“We have an army of people on our team
that are out sharing and helping others.
It’s an awesome thing to think about, because
you just see that God’s hand is at work
in this whole company.” –Michelle
