already knew a lot about the importance of
natural health, she thought that essential
oils made sense. Right away, she started
thinking about how well they would
combine with her clean eating program.
Karla started sharing essential oils
with the people who already trusted
her to coach them on nutrition and
health. She says, “That made it easy.

Because Karla also owns a photography

keeping track of several companies
at once. She says, “One of the biggest
obstacles for me is deciding where to

solid business where we’re making a
good amount of money, we can make
some different decisions. It gives us the
freedom to do what we love and be
more flexible.”
All in all, Karla is happy that dōTERRA
has enabled her to continue helping
other people get healthy on an even
broader scale than before. She says,
“To see people’s lives change is a huge
motivating factor for me. I see one
person after another having significant
health improvements, and that’s the
driving force behind it all.”

“I’ve run a lot of distances, and I
know that you have to have a plan
to get there. You need both a long
term plan and a short term plan so
you’re always consistently working
toward it.”
“If you don’t have a plan, you
could be working toward nothing
and that’s not going to work for
you. Decide what steps you need
to do on a weekly basis to get to
where you want to go.”
“Look back on the bigger picture.
See where the things you’re
doing are taking you, and if
they’re working. Analyze what’s
happening and make changes
if necessary.”
“At first, I just knew I loved oils and people and started sharing and enrolling. You can’t get so
focused on the business part that you stop doing those foundational things.”
