My husband was sick. Really sick. With the man flu.

Poor guy. Well, I thought it was man flu anyway, until two-rounds of antibiotics would not shift it. Months went by and the guy would spend every night coughing and spluttering his way to sleep (with me wide-eyed and annoyed next to him). He was drained, tired and cranky. He was no fun. 

During this time of fun, I met up with a friend for coffee. Chantal Roelofs had started a dōTERRA business two years earlier which was going gang-busters! By this time, she had replaced her once full-time income and was about to replace that of her husbands too. She had created a new and successful life for herself and her family. Just be selling essential oils and mentoring other women to do the same thing.
Lightbulb moment number 1
So... I asked her... could these dōTERRA oils do anything for me and my family? She confidently said they would and later that day had dropped around a few oil samples for me to try. Later that night I added a few drops of Easy Air to the diffuser in our bedroom and rolled a concoction of oils across my husbands feet and sent him to bed. The coughing quickly subsided. It was quiet. QUIET! Months of coughing... gone...
Lightbulb moment number 2
Something happened. I didn't really understand it at the time, but something helped. And it was quick and eye-opening.

A few weeks later I was invited by Chantal to an introductory workshop she was hosting at Jessie Reimers house. Jessie recounted her AMAZING journey from a young mother on welfare to a successful businesswoman earning a seven-figure income with dōTERRA (you NEED to go to her webpage... in a minute). Both Chantal and Jessie in the one room was a powerful experience. Both women had changed their lives by using dōTERRA and helping others use dōTERRA. And they had changed countless other family's lives by mentoring them to do the same.

I was introduced to a company that WANTED people to succeed with abundance and integrity. I was blown away by their ethical and sustainability practices. This company genuinely cared for the people who grew the plants that made the oils that support our health.
Lightbulb moment number 3

I jumped all in. I bought a home essentials kit and decided on the spot that I was going to become a dōTERRA Wellness Advocate.

I still feel as though I'm at the beginning of my dōTERRA journey... things are always twisting and evolving... but it's always leading me to freedom.

So, why dōTERRA essential oils? 

I've been a user of essential oils for years. But my only understanding of them was that they came from plants and you add them to candles and oil burners and you bought them from stores like Dusk in a congealed wax tablet form. I never knew that there were different brands, manufacturing and preparation methods, let alone where they came from! Essential oils were what hippies and expectant mothers used to create a sense of relaxation when everything about them was too chaotic. Right?
Wrong.
Not all essential oils are equal. The majority are made from chemical and synthetic components that try to mimic the scent of natural, pure essential oils. Chemicals, that when over-exposed to, can damage our health. Why would you knowingly want to do that? Or maybe (if you were like me before dōTERRA) you DON'T KNOW that all essential oils aren't created equal... even if they're bought from a store...

Biggest give-away - check the label. If you can't guarantee where the oil was sourced, how it was produced or whether it's guaranteed to be free from chemicals, pollutants and heavy metals... then it's not going to do you any good.

DōTERRA: Source To You

DōTERRA want to make the most pure, potent and effective essential oils on the planet. And they guarantee this process through an open sharing of information pertaining to the farming, sourcing, production and manufacturing of the essential oils that they sell. Every single bottle of essential oil is accounted for by a batch number on the base. You can see EXACTLY what is in your individual bottle of essential oil by going to:

My new mantra...

Create a life of purpose and financial freedom, with full integrity.

I now have a lifestyle that works for me. NOT the other way around.

I have built a business that allows me to take my kids to school, catch up with friends for coffee and still have time to go to the gym! This is not your ordinary business model! But I can put my hand on my heart and say it's the way forward.

But, here comes the dirty words... brace yourself...
Network Marketing
Phew! Did you get that? What is network marketing? Is it a pyramid scheme?

Ummm... I would be completely insulted if you thought I would involve you in a pyramid scheme (which are illegal!)!!!!!!! x 1,000,000.

I'm being open and honest with you about this business model. Because it is the best business model out there and is also the BIGGEST GROWING business model in the world. 
Want to know the secret to Network Marketing?
 It's just like normal marketing, but we sell our products face-to-face and over the internet, not in a shop. That's the secret.

This makes the dōTERRA business model completely mobile and duplicable. It also means that you can go all in (like I have) and run a full-time business chatting over coffee and creating crazy facebook posts for wonderful people like you, or you can treat it as a "side-hustle" until the time is right to throw everything at it!

If I have a dōTERRA membership, does that mean I have to sell dōTERRA too?

Short answer - No.

Long answer... well there is no long answer cos the answer is still "no". In fact the vast majority of people who hold a dōTERRA online account purchase and use the products for themselves just as any other consumable product. There are really only a small number of dōTERRA Wellness Advocates who create life-changing businesses from selling dōTERRA products using a Network Marketing structure. 

When you open your online account you have three ways to experience these essential oils:

Live.

As mentioned above, this is where the majority of dōTERRA account holders see themselves. Whether it's because you want to replace your cleaning products with a natural alternative, relax in the evening with a beautiful aromatherapy blend or make some amazing peppermint brownies, this is a great place to start your dōTERRA journey. However you choose to use your account, you still get access to the exact same savings and loyalty rewards as any other member.

Share.

It's only natural to share a positive experience. Whether it's a movie you saw on the weekend or an amazing latte you drank this morning... sharing is part of our nature as human beings. Especially when you come across something as amazing as essential oils! But if you find the information  a little overwhelming and sharing in front of a group of people a little intimidating, why not invite someone to take a workshop for you (check this out here). You're part of a whole-hearted community who only want you to succeed. PLUS, any friends or family looking to enrol with their own account will get to enrol directly under you. This means you will earn a residual income from anything they purchase which can be used to pay for your oils! Free oils? Yes please!

Build.

Once you've been using your essential oils and have experienced their value in your, you might want to share that value by educating others about dōTERRA...  and get paid doing so! Why partner with dōTERRA? They have a 65% customer retention rate - well above any other Network Marketing based distribution business - and are founded on the highest of ethical and sustainability standards. For me, this was a big one. And one of the main reasons I chose to align myself with this company. This is a company that wants us to succeed and create financial freedom for our families!
