While working as a dental hygienist and as a nanny on the weekends, Katee was diagnosed with depression. She was extremely exhausted all the time, but felt uncomfortable with the diagnosis and started looking for other options to help with her problem. She attended an oil class taught by Robin Jones, who recommended she try Lifelong Vitality. Katee says that within three days of receiving her vitamins, she felt a complete turnaround. She says, “From there, I felt compelled to learn all I could about doTERRA.”
Once Robin told Katee about the business opportunity, she was excited to get involved. After reaching Silver, she hit a wall and wondered if she could continue. Then, someone in her downline called her and told her she needed an upline. She wanted to know if Katee was going to be her leader or not. At that point, Katee was working full time, was a new mom, and was trying to run a business. She felt overwhelmed. After getting off the phone with her downline, she went and told Kyle that she was going to quit doTERRA. She says, “Kyle calmed me down and peptalked me. Shortly after, I decided to make a mission statement about doTERRA, my future, and my family, and how it all fit together. It just started flowing, and I felt like I knew again that this was where I was supposed to be.”
Feeling young and inexperienced, Katee had been reluctant to step into a leadership role with her team. She decided she needed a mentor to help her and found Tiffany Peterson online. She says, “I had a free consultation with her, and she told me her price—it was the same amount of money I was making monthly with doTERRA. But, I still felt strongly about doing it.” She made the investment, and it made all the difference in her business. “She opened my mind to the idea that I was a leader, and I had something to offer my team.”
Katee eventually quit her job and started working toward bringing Kyle home as well. From there, they were able to hit Diamond. Kyle has since learned the benefits of letting go of carefully laid plans. He says, “We busted our butts to get us both educated and in good-paying jobs, and I was really attached to that plan. Now, I know that you need to recognize those times when diverging from your plans will bring a lot more blessings. Honor those feelings that are confirming that you need to go to a greater path.” Katee adds, “I never in a million years would have ever thought that a 24-year-old girl with no knowledge of business would be able to get to where we are now. I was happy doing what we were doing, but this is a better plan than I ever could have imagined.”
