“We’re just flabbergasted and grateful

“This is a very passion-led business. The people who really thrive are
the people who are passionate about sharing the oils.”

TREAT IT LIKE A BUSINESS
Be efficient. “People who are serious
about it and use their work time
efficiently to do income-producing
activities are the ones who reach the
success they want in the time that
they want.”
Don’t multitask. “Trying to multitask
can be disastrous, especially when
you’re trying to raise a family. I burnt
myself out in the beginning because
I was trying to fit dōTERRA in
throughout my day.”
Schedule work time. “Even if it has to
be after the kids go to bed, schedule
work time when you focus on nothing
else but dōTERRA. You can get so
much more done in a focused hour
than you can in a whole day of trying
to multitask it in.”
“I don’t want to work and make a lot of money so I can buy more stuff.
To me, dōTERRA encompasses working hard so that you have more to give.”
