While attending a “prepper” expo in Texas, David Mays met Jared Winger, now a Presidential Diamond, at a doTERRA booth. They hit it off so well that David spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with him. He felt a sincerity from Jared that dispelled his previous negative experiences with network marketing companies. He purchased some oils, and he and his wife, Holly, casually shared them with some family and friends at home. A few months later, they started to open up to the business side as well.

Jared flew out and taught some classes for them, and after they saw the positive response to those classes, they committed to the business. They both were already involved in businesses of their own, but were eager to work toward doing doTERRA full time. David says, “We both had difficulties with our other businesses. We would find ourselves just spinning our wheels, but we developed a work ethic that has stuck with us. I think that helped make Diamond work, because we worked doTERRA like a business as soon as we made the decision to do it. doTERRA just happened to be a better vehicle than we were driving before.”

As some of the first people to get involved with doTERRA in their area, it was difficult for David and Holly to envision their success, but they moved forward anyway. Early on, it helped that Jared showed them that he had once been in the same spot they were. David says, “He kept showing that even though the money isn’t there yet, we were on the right path. It doesn’t matter where on the path I’m at as long as I’m on the right one. He kept expanding our vision, and that helped a lot.”

“doTERRA opened our eyes and made us realize that we can make our lives whatever we want. We just needed a vehicle that would work with us.” –David

It was also important to David and Holly to make sure their two sons were onboard with the sacrifices necessary for success. When they decided to make the push for Diamond, they sat them down, explained how it would affect them, and asked for their input. Holly says, “They were onboard even knowing that it would mean many evenings and weekends with one or both of us not home. Sometimes it wasn’t easy, but we’d remind them that they were part of the decision.” David adds, “That was a huge driving factor that gave us guiltfree permission to strive forward and ultimately hit Diamond.”

Today, they have in their sights the lifestyle they always wanted. David says, “doTERRA became the vehicle we used to get that done. It has been an incredible experience. We get to help people in such broader ways than we could before through this amazing journey of doTERRA.”

Accomplishing YOUR GOALS

  • Make it clear. “I think half the reason why people take so long to reach their goals is because it’s simply not clear enough and their intention is more of a dream than it is a journey. They find themselves making decisions that don’t work them toward their goal.” –David
  • Be consistent. “Have the belief that it can happen. We always make sure that people are writing down their goals, reviewing their goals, and taking consistent steps toward those goals. That’s what drives momentum and that’s what makes it work.” –Holly
  • Use personal development. “We really push personal development because we know that who you are as an Elite is not who you will be as a Diamond. The beauty of dōTERRA is you will expand along the way and reach whatever you want to become.” –David
