“ I try to help people realize there is so much value in what they have to say , and a dōTERRA business is a way to get that message out .”

If you started out thinking you would never “ do ” the dōTERRA business , you aren ’ t alone — Angela Dodge didn ’ t either . In fact , she didn ’ t even tell other people that she used essential oils . Angela has a career as a pediatric dietitian , working with pediatric patients who have health issues . In this environment , she was uncertain that her colleagues would be open minded enough to try the oils . However , when Angela noticed one of her patients using essential oils , she knew she couldn ’ t remain a “ closet oiler .”

Since then , Angela has been committed to sharing the benefits of dōTERRA oils . She found that many of her coworkers are more open minded than she expected . “ Other staff members started asking me for help and oil recommendations for their concerns . I was helping people every day and realized those people were looking for the same thing I was : a more natural answer to their problems .” Her background in the field of service and science also fit perfectly with the dōTERRA business opportunity .
In her dōTERRA journey , Angela is grateful to have the support of her family . Her husband , Dave , supports her immensely , and their three children all love the oils and hope to join Angela in the business in the future . She is also thankful for the support of her team . She says , “ These women are my go-to . They are my sounding board and my idea makers .” In fact , her team was one of the driving forces behind Angela ’ s own goal to reach Diamond . “ I wanted my four Silver leaders to step into what I knew they wanted and needed . These are women who have worked their hardest to make it there .”
One of the keys for Angela in achieving Diamond was Diamond Club . She explains , “ I think the momentum I had to reach Diamond started with Diamond Club . I started as a Silver , finished as a Gold , and soon after hit Diamond . Those were classes upon classes upon classes . That is where the magic happens .” Staying consistent in teaching classes , sharing the oils , and following up was a necessity . In addition to sticking with the basics ,
Angela remained authentic throughout the journey . “ I do not put up false pretenses . People appreciate honesty , and they are more likely to trust someone with their health , guidance , and business if they feel a genuine connection . This is my goal in life — to never be something I am not , and to only grow my organization and business the same way .”
Angela felt she had everything she needed in life before she found dōTERRA , but she has now found another dimension . “ I am more of the woman , mother , leader , and business owner that I never knew I needed to be . I always felt content with the way my life was proceeding , but I look back now and realize there was something more for me — not necessarily in place of what I had , but a complement to what I was living .” Angela and her family are now living a life of authenticity and empowerment .
“ This business is built on empowering you , your organization , and your leaders . It ’ s an ‘ all for one ’ family .”

DIAMOND ACHIEVEMENT ADVICE

TAKE THE SMALL STEPS . “ Be consistent . Attend events . Build your belief in the company . Click the submit button on the Diamond Club application and complete the program . Take advantage of the BOGOs . Don ’ t subscribe to the ‘ closet oiler ’ club . Be you . Take action .”
KNOW YOUR BACK OFFICE . “ You cannot know where you are heading without a tight grasp on where you are now . Plan like a CEO . You should know where you need volume , where volume is coming from , if and how you can get your Power of 3 , what leaders are contributing , etc . Record , record , record !”
TREAT IT LIKE A BUSINESS . “ Nothing is more important than treating a Diamond business like an actual Diamond business . This isn ’ t a pretend game of life — it ’ s the real deal . Know that the last day of the month will cause a cascade of emotions , including excitement , anxious feelings , relief , tension , stress , and exhilaration .”
