Takeover

It was Spencer Kuhn ’ s cousin , Double Presidential Diamond Boyd Truman , who introduced him to the dōTERRA business opportunity . Spencer owns a roofing company and he says that at first , “ I had a really big ego and , in my opinion , I already had a real business .” But , Boyd was patient with Spencer and his wife , Reta , and kept following up and eventually convinced them to give the essential oils a try . As they used the oils over a period of several months , they started having good results .

One day , one of Spencer ’ s employees saw him using dōTERRA Deep Blue ® on the job , and this employee asked if he could try it . Spencer gave him the rest of his roll-on and that next week , the employee came back and asked for six bottles for his whole family . Spencer realized , “ I didn ’ t even try to sell that .” Reta had already begun to share with friends and family , and as more people started asking how they could get oils of their own , Spencer and Reta organically started doing the business .
As Spencer saw how naturally the business could happen and saw the great success Boyd was having , he decided to give it a try as well . Boyd told him if he committed three to four hours a week , in a few years he could replace the income from his roofing company . As their business grew , Spencer started putting more and more time into dōTERRA and less time into his other business . He says , “ dōTERRA is starting to take over . It ’ s given my family a different light at the end of the tunnel that we never imagined was even possible before .”
All of Spencer ’ s brothers and sisters are on his frontline . They were all able to take time off last year when their father was sick and eventually passed away , and still received income from dōTERRA . In contrast , Spencer ’ s roofing business suffered during this time . He says , “ We ’ ve invested money toward retirement before , but nothing has ever become a true residual income . I feel like that ’ s what we ’ re building now . It ’ s limitless .”
Now , the business has become about changing others ’ lives as well . Spencer says , “ Once you see how many different lives get affected , it becomes a mission .” Reta adds , “ We want to be able to help people achieve their goals and get to where they want to go . That gives us such a sense of happiness as well as helping our own lives financially and spiritually and in every other way I can think of .”

GROW AS A PERSON

Grow yourself . “ Every single one of your personal dysfunctions will challenge you in this business . If you ’ re not taking care of yourself , bettering yourself , and growing as a person , then your team won ’ t grow either .” – Spencer
Overcome your blocks . “ Everyone has mental blocks and overcoming those can be one of the hardest things in this business . But , when you do , you immediately see good results and your team will reflect that .” – Spencer
