The Stephens family in Emmett, Idaho
homeschooling her children through the end of high
school. She said, “Our objective was to help them realize
who they are. We wanted each of them to understand that
they are responsible for their own life.”
When Tammy’s grandson developed a skin condition, Tammy took it upon herself to find an answer. While researching
herbs online, Tammy came across essential oils. She said,
“The medicinal aspect was a totally new concept to me, and
I was fascinated and convinced that they could play a part
in healing and prevention.” Tammy came across dōTERRA’s
website and liked what CPTG represented. However, she
was frustrated that it was network marketing and that she
needed a member number to purchase.
Not one to give up, Tammy wrote down the names of the
individuals featured in the introductory video and began
an email search. She said, “I copied and pasted the same
email to four different people, the only one who contacted
me was Justin Harrison. Already convinced of their validity,
I didn’t have a lot of questions. I just wanted to know about
the owners and the company culture. I was dealing with
some personal trust issues, specific to MLM, and was pretty
guarded.” However, after attending an event with Dr. Hill and
seeing his compassion, Tammy was impacted deeply. She
decided to let down her guard just a little in order to further
investigate the company.
A day later, Jim graciously rearranged his schedule in order
to accompany Tammy as she visited dōTERRA corporate
headquarters. There they met Justin Harrison, Dave Stirling,
Greg Cook, and Emily Wright. Tammy said, “We were fortunate enough to meet key builders who gave us a firsthand
glimpse of the dōTERRA culture. We were pleased and surprised, to say the least, and started to engage immediately.”
The Stephens have always believed in personal responsibility. Tammy said, “The business is a perfect fit and an intense
training ground for who I want to become. It offers me a
practical place for serving others with boldness, as I share
with them the value of essential oils.” Tammy and Jim feel
that a leader’s job is to serve. They said, “Our dōTERRA community owes us nothing, it’s our responsibility to reach out
and meet a person where they’re at.”
Jim and Tammy believe that your team is your greatest asset
and nothing is accomplished in this business without working together. To hit Diamond they suggest that you, “choose
who you mentor by focusing on those who are coachable,
mentoring others, and duplicating themselves.” Jim and
Tammy understand that people create volume and build
networks, but only if they are encouraged and educated.
Tammy said, “Love them forward, but don’t allow them to
make excuses. As we learn to lead, our example will enable
others to do the same.”
