people in one month invite her to do
a dōTERRA business with them. Living
in Utah, Nisha had heard a lot about
dōTERRA and knew several people who
were successful with it. She was intrigued,
but didn’t believe in the essential oils. Nisha
had a health blog at the time and coached
women in weight loss, and she wasn’t
interested in adding another business.
Her friend, Cherie Burton, helped her have
some good experiences with the oils, but
Nisha still wasn’t sure she wanted to do the
business. Cherie kept trying to schedule a

thought she wouldn’t even know what to

husband, made a dream budget, and went
