“Mentoring is not just answering people’s questions,
but also helping them gain a belief. It’s casting a vision
for their life that maybe they don’t see.” –Carol-Ann

hen Carol-Ann Mendoza bought her
first kit, it sat on her dresser for six
months, unopened. Her husband, Roger,
says, “We didn’t know what to do with the
oils.” Gradually, they began to use the
essential oils and saw how they could meet
their family’s needs. Then, they learned about
the business opportunity. Carol-Ann says,
“I was homeschooling, staying at home with
four kids, but before I had always worked
in a professional environment. I felt like
this could be an outlet for me.” The more
the Mendozas became involved, the more
it changed their lives.
In the beginning, Carol-Ann mainly worked
with her best friend, Jennifer Accomando,
who had enrolled her. They were both
new and so nervous about teaching classes
that they started out just playing the medicine
cabinet makeover webinar. They would
pause it to pass around and explain each
oil. They did this for four months. She
says, “Now, we pass this message on to
others. It’s encouraging to them. If they’re
not ready for a class, they’ll do something
similar. They know they can work around
their fear and keep moving forward.”
Roger was supportive from the beginning,
and Carol-Ann says he attended every
single class with her. In April 2014, he
resigned from his job to join her fulltime.
They both can see now how much
dōTERRA has increased their confidence.
Carol-Ann says, “As your team grows, you
want to do well for them, so you push
yourself further past your comfort zone.”
