Yoshi and Misa previously decided that they would not let a great opportunity pass them up. They joined dōTERRA that very day. Later that month, Yoshi and Misa returned to Utah to meet with the rest of the executive team. Misa’s shoulder had been irritating her. When she expressed to David Stirling that she was concerned, he encouraged her to try dōTERRA’s Deep Blue blend. She was astonished at how quickly and effectively it helped her. It was then that a passion for educating others about essential oils blossomed. Yoshi and Misa realized that essential oils could help everyone! During that trip, Yoshi and Misa also learned about the executives’ vision. They felt their passion as they discussed spreading the knowledge of essential oils globally. They felt of the owners’ integrity and sincerity. Yoshi and Misa knew that dōTERRA’s goal to take essential oils to the world, and in particular Japan, was something they needed to be apart of. They left that meeting motivated to put all their energy into building their dōTERRA business. Yoshi and Misa became the first Japanese consultants to reach the rank of Diamond and have been fundamental pioneers in introducing dōTERRA to the Japan market. Not only have they been instrumental in sharing the oils in the Japanese language, but their passion and guidance has inspired many to also successfully share dōTERRA internationally. dōTERRA’s essential oils have blessed the Chihara’s lives in many ways. “We have experienced miracle after miracle,” they exclaim. Both Yoshi and Misa’s mother have experienced life threatening health issues in recent years. Their family has been comforted by their knowledge of essential oils and how they work within the body. Misa personally is grateful for essential oils and feels they have helped keep her balanced as she has dealt with these difficult situations. “Essential oils are something I can never live without,” Misa tenderly explains. Dare to Dream The Chiharas in Tokyo, Japan Yoshi and Misa encourage others to acknowledge their dreams. They offer the heartfelt witness that, “Dreams do come true! Don’t be afraid to dream and set your sights high.” Yoshi states, “Once you have acknowledged your dream, set goals, learn the oils, fully commit to dōTERRA, and work hard. That’s how we did it.” 21
