ebecca Gillespie was originally
introduced to dōTERRA essential oils
while living with her family in Switzerland.
She really liked them and bought several
kits, but found herself using them only
occasionally. It was a couple years before
she got a call from her sister, Jeanette
Fransen, asking Rebecca to join her in
building a dōTERRA business.
Rebecca agreed, mostly out of a desire to
help her sister. Her husband, Brian, gave
her his full support, and the sisters started
building. They taught their first class
without ever having been to a class, and
they enthusiastically shared with everyone.
They made lots of mistakes along the way,
learning as they went. Rebecca says,
“We learned that you don’t necessarily
need someone holding your hand the
entire way to be successful. You need to
put yourself out there and be willing to
make mistakes. You only have to make a
mistake once to learn from it.”
They learned that a successful class
includes eliminating distractions and
presenting yourself as a professional in
the way you look and act. Rebecca also
recommends practicing holding classes
beforehand. She says, “Practice doing it,
and keep doing it often enough that it
becomes really easy. Nothing becomes
easy before it’s been hard.”
“All I have is determination
and commitment. If you have
those things—which anyone
can—you can be successful.”
