MAKE THE
DECISION
“MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE SINCE
THE BEGINNING. SINCE I REACHED DIAMOND HE HAS
BECOME MORE INVOLVED. HE IS REALLY GREAT AT
CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE AND TAKING CARE OF
THE ACCOUNTING SIDE OF THINGS SO I CAN FOCUS
ON MENTORING MY TEAM.”
W
hen Tanya Cotterell first started purchasing
dōTERRA products, she thought they would
help her family and maybe contribute to the
salon she owned. She knew she definitely wasn’t
sharing with her friends and family. She says, “My
perception was that people who became involved
in these companies would lose relationships
because they became only interested in selling.”
Before long she saw so many benefits from the
essential oils that it became natural to share them
with everyone.
Today, Tanya is glad that she didn’t hold back from
sharing with those she is closest to. “I look back
and several of my strongest builders were people
that I really went back and forth on whether to
invite. I didn’t know if they would be able to afford
it. I thought it would be awkward. Now, I shake
my head thinking of how life-changing dōTERRA
has been for those people that I almost didn’t
invite. I always encourage my team to erase all
preconceptions—just invite.”
It was at her first convention that Tanya really
caught the vision of what dōTERRA could be in
her life. “I realized I had a lot of reasons why I
could justify not doing it. I had four little kids at
home and another part-time business that I was
operating. I was really busy, but at that moment
I realized it’s up to me. I have a choice here. I
can either find a way to do it, or I can let this
opportunity slip through my fingers. I knew no
other opportunity like this would come by again,
and I didn’t want to lose it.”
