Leader FEATURE ARTICLE Corinna Barrus Presidential Diamond You asked, she answered. We took your most pressing questions about the business and asked one of our top dōTERRA leaders for her advice from her years of experience. How do you explain to people why dōTERRA uses the MLM business model, and how this differs from a pyramid scheme? A pyramid scheme is illegal and involves moving money from person to person without a business or service attached. do-TERRA is a company that is completely product focused, so by definition, it is not a pyramid scheme. What some people think of when they use the term “pyramid scheme” is that there are a few at the top making all the money, and you have to get in at the beginning. This is untrue as there is unlimited earning potential for all in do-TERRA, and the top leaders did not all join in the beginning. What I love about do-TERRA and the MLM model is you are paid for what you and your team produce, not where you are in the team. 62 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I I NOV
