Rebecca ’ s passion for the business and oils has had a great impact on her family as well . A year into the dōTERRA business , Nathan , Rebecca ’ s husband , joined her in the business , putting his own business aside . Together , they have been working as a powerful team . Rebecca says , “ Nathan is naturally drawn to the areas of the business that I am not , so it works out perfectly . I focus more on the front line and team calls , classes , and trainings , and Nathan will do most of the back office stuff , balancing accounts , end-of-month activities , and emailing .”
Rebecca and Nathan have also appreciated the strong support of Rebecca ’ s mother who has helped them balance family time and business time . Rebecca feels that her mom has been key to her success by helping take care of their three daughters while Rebecca does classes and trainings . Her mom has believed in her and has been influential in helping them grow their business .
For Nathan and Rebecca , achieving Diamond has brought rich rewards . Rebecca says , “ I am really starting to feel the benefits of having less financial stress . I also feel so fulfilled doing a job that is not only providing for our family , but one I can get really excited about because I am helping people every day either with the oils or the business . It feels so good to be part of something that is really making a difference .”
