consultant stories
I’m sure my dōTERRA story began like most consultants. Someone had
the desire to help me and courageously shared products that would benefit my life forever. In my opinion, all good things start with a desire to do
good, a little courage to do it, and the patience to see it through!
I
was completely intrigued by dōTERRA after the
Truman’s helped me alleviate my back issues, of
over 20 years, by simply applying oils! I purchased the Natural Solutions Kit and figured that
although I may not use everything in the kit, I
really wanted to try the vitamins and diffuser. I knew
it would be a good investment and would ultimately
pay for itself. I didn’t have a complex plan; it was
simply to use the oils. I knew they made a difference
and they were much less expensive than spending
thousands of dollars on traditional medicine—which
wasn’t working anyways.
When the products came, I was excited to try them!
I was happily surprised when the Lifelong Vitality
and other supplements worked just as amazingly
as the oils had. I felt like I was 20 again. I felt like a
new mom and wife! I couldn’t hold back my desire
to share dōTERRA with everyone! I loved helping neighbors, family, friends, and even strangers.
I found myself loaning my diffuser and oils, teaching oil application techniques, offering the supplements to others, and the list goes on and on. There
was truly something good I could give to everyone
with dōTERRA! With this passion as my starting
point, I was all in and ready to take advantage of the
dōTERRA business opportunity.
My husband and I set three goals: first, go Silver,
second, make the $1500 Power of Three Bonus, and
third, win a spot on the cruise. It was important to
us that our goals were realistic because we know,
“Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right!”
We knew that if we set a goal to accomplish something, we could do it! Then, most importantly, we
figured out a plan of how to accomplish each goal.
We made detailed outlines of what we had and what
we needed to create. Our pathway was clear and
provided us direction for our determination.
Our mentors have been great—they showed us the
power of having consistent weekly events. This was
significant in reaching our goals. When our focus
shifted too much from consistent events, our busi-
ness was affected. I’ve learned to be consistent at
holding events, either in my home or in the homes of
my team members, at least twice a week.
Events are incredible, but they need to be combined
with recruiting and sharing. I’ve learned to be generous with samples and to follow up with educational
opportunities on how to best utilize the products.
One of my weaknesses is being patient and allowing
people time to experience before following up.
When we decided to build fast we found people
who had the same excitement. I found that moving
quickly with those who are interested in being lead-
We worked so hard! We had a lot of challenges along
the way. We were learning things as we went and
sometimes did things wrong, but kept going anyway. We put our time and energy into our plan and
were able to achieve all of our goals.
ers is key. We were able to capitalize on their new
found enthusiasm for dōTERRA. However, we knew
we had to build a solid foundation for the future.
Again, patience is one of our struggles. We had to be
patient and let our leaders make their own decisions
to build.
We worked so hard! We had a lot of challenges along
the way. We were learning things as we went and
sometimes did things wrong, but kept going anyway.
We put our time and energy into our plan and were
able to achieve all of our goals. Hitting Silver and
earning the $1500 bonus in three months, along with
receiving weekly Fast Start bonuses was like Christmas! Of course, winning a place for each of us on the
dōTERRA cruise to the Caribbean will be something
that we will never forget. I’m a firm believer that if
you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything! I feel like dōTERRA is a gift I’ve been given and
if I’m not successful, it’s because I didn’t try.
