Grow and Flourish

Stephanie Crane had been interested in natural health for more than 20 years when she was introduced to doTERRA. Though she found the products to be effective, she was very suspicious of network marketing companies. She says, “I thought that doTERRA couldn’t be the only company out there with good quality oils.” She researched and bought products from other companies and did side-byside comparisons. Finally, her husband, Kent, told her she needed to save money and just stick with doTERRA because they worked the best.

People always come to Stephanie for their natural health questions, so she started to tell them about doTERRA essential oils. She says, “I remember the first time someone said, ‘Can I buy these from you?’ I just stood there and didn’t know what to say. In my head I was thinking, ‘Am I going to have to sell this stuff? This is crazy. I’m not a salesperson.’” After six months of that happening, Stephanie decided to embrace the business full on.

Kent had always thought she would be great at direct sales, so he was very supportive of her running a doTERRA business. Stephanie worked part-time as a social worker while homeschooling her kids, while Kent owned his own construction business. Stephanie says, “When I committed to do the business, I wanted to go all the way. I was determined and dedicated, I challenged myself, and I went outside my comfort zone.” She was intentional about sharing the products every day, and that is what brought her to Diamond. Now, her husband was able to sell his business and come home.

Along the way, Stephanie learned the importance of letting her leaders lead.
