going to have a pantry full of the same products,” Dave
said. However, that didn’t stop Tammy from accepting
a few essential oils from a friend. The Millers were going out of town and she simply stuffed them into a bag.
Kaitlin, their daughter, had been suffering with digestive problems for nine years. While out of town, she
realized that she had forgotten her medication. Kaitlin
had a severe stomachache, so Tammy pulled the essential oils from her bag. She used the lavender and
peppermint from the trio kit. “Ten minutes later, she
was feeling better. We thought it was a fluke.” Tammy
said. However, mother’s intuition made Tammy take a
deeper look.
Tammy knew nothing about essential oils. She assumed that they could only be used if someone was
ill. “I was like, ‘come on everyone get sick, so I can
experiment.’ It was like my own little chemistry set,”
Tammy said. Their initial knowledge was limited, but
as they continued to use the essential oils the impact
was the same. They wanted to learn more. They spoke
with the dōTERRA executive team about the company
and how it worked. They learned about the products,
and finally, they agreed to do the business.
That decision was not easy. Dave had a full-time job
that he needed to maintain, and Tammy was the fulltime mother of four. They had a lifestyle to which they
had grown accustomed and a couple thousand dollars
a month wasn’t going to do anything for them. Neither Dave, nor Tammy could give up their current role,
but they could do something each day to build their
dōTERRA business. Tammy said, “I share dōTERRA if
it comes up naturally in conversation. I’m not aggressive, but I am consistent.”
The Millers understand that this business takes time,
especially when you choose not to give up on current
pursuits. Dave said, “Really, three or four years is not
that long. I have to laugh when after six months people want to give up because they aren’t where they
want to be financially. This isn’t a six month business.
You wouldn’t choose to close your restaurant after six
months. This is a long-term process.” For the Millers,
this is about helping people and obtaining the lifestyle
that comes with owning a successful business. They
are familiar with the company and the people it attracts, and that is something they want to be a part of.
