SHIOCTON, WISCONSIN, USA Invest in the Future W hile other fathers may invest their time and money into earning an MBA or other higher education degree in order to better support their families, Bryant Hess decided to invest in a dōTERRA business. When his wife Brianna first came home with essential oils, Bryant didn’t pay much attention to them. Once she started hosting classes and he saw how excited people were about dōTERRA, he realized the potential in the business opportunity. Bryant decided to begin growing a dōTERRA business alongside the fulltime cow hoof trimming business that had been in his family for three generations. It was a busy time that involved a lot of sacrifices. Bryant says, “There will always be people who say, ‘How could you take time away from your family to do another business?’, but they would never question someone that was taking time away from their family to go back to school. Going back to school means you get another degree, but you don’t get more time freedom—in fact, oftentimes you will have less. On the other hand, growing a dōTERRA business in that same amount of time totally transforms everything about your ability to be a parent because you get that time back.” “The kids have been fantastic. They have been onboard from the get-go. They’ve put up with a lot, but we taught them what it meant for us to have a dōTERRA business and they have been our number one supporters by far.” –Bryant 12 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I SUMMER 2014 S ND O R R Bryant & Brianna Hess NEW dōTE NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS A DIA M
