Trust the Process

When Nicole Moultrie’s sister-in-law Jessica approached her about doing a doTERRA business, Nicole turned her down flat. Her husband, Jared, had been laid off of his job for a few months, and neither of them had any interest in it at all. Jessica continued to invite them several more times. The final time, she sent Nicole an email with the subject line: “Last time I promise!” She begged Nicole to just consider the business. She finally watched the videos Jessica had sent her, and decided that it was time to give it a try.

“The timing was right, and reluctantly we went into it. I can remember feeling excited, anxious, and nervous at once,” Nicole says. Jessica had them meet with Marc and Jenn Garrett, and Marc wanted to know what Nicole’s why was. “I had these walls up, but he kept pushing me on it. I started to tear up and finally admitted that it was always about helping my family.” After that, Nicole knew she would do anything to succeed in doTERRA if it would bring her family the stability they needed.

Jared was always with her as she built the business. Nicole says, “It’s always been a ‘we.’ We are partners in everything. He helped me take care of the kids and make it work.” Jared’s advice to other spouses is to be the constant. He says, “This business can be a roller coaster, so a lot of times it is the partner’s job to be the growth line. Help your spouse see the constant, steady improvement instead of the fluctuations week by week.”

Nicole has seen that doTERRA has changed her ability and her motivation to help others. She says, “The bubble of who you want to take care of starts so small and then it expands. Eventually you want to help everyone succeed.”
