NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND
“dōTERRA is a vehicle
that keeps me moving
and becoming the best
version of myself that
God desires me to be.”

Better Together
lthough Joy Tarpley had been
interested in natural solutions for
years, she was skeptical when she was
first introduced to dōTERRA essential
oils. After her own oil experiences,
however, she became a believer in how
effective they are. The oils helped her
feel empowered and equipped to serve
her family.
Joy was involved in another direct
sales company at the time, so she
understood the benefits of this type of
business model. She originally thought
she would “do the dōTERRA business”
to one degree or another, but her
business took off quickly, and thanks
to the generous compensation plan,
Joy quickly decided to do her dōTERRA
business full time.
For Joy, the key to successful, heart-
centered network marketing is honor.
She recalls, “When I first began the
journey of direct sales, I had a heart-to-
heart conversation with God. I asked
Him whether I could do this type of
business in a way that would draw
people to me rather than pushing
them away. As I prayed about this new
adventure, the one word that God kept
bringing to my mind was ‘honor.’” To Joy,
honoring someone is about listening to
them and addressing their needs rather
than focusing on her own agenda. She
has implemented this in her dōTERRA
business, focusing on providing people
with helpful information without
pushing them in their decisions. “It is
our job to give people the information
they need so they can decide how to
best serve their family.” Motivation has never been a difficulty
Joy is eager to share the benefits
of dōTERRA by sharing the oils and
building her business. She and her
team, “Team Freedom,” work together
to be the best they can. Joy explains,
“I’m comfortable not being the best
in everything, and I am open about
that with my team. We tap into each
other’s strengths, and we carry the
responsibilities together to make it less
overwhelming. We learn from each
other. We’re better together, and we
