Building a doTERRA Business with Faith, Persistence, and a Heart to Serve | Priscilla Arreola

Episode Summary

In this episode, Andy Goddard interviews Priscilla Arreola, a doTERRA Wellness Advocate from Orange County, California, who shares her seven-year journey of building her business through faith, persistence, and a commitment to serving others. After experiencing the limitations of running an in-home daycare and realizing she wanted greater time freedom for her family, Priscilla embraced the doTERRA business opportunity as an answer to prayer. Priscilla shares how she started with just three people at her first class, all of whom enrolled, and how she grew her business through personal connections, customer referrals, in-person classes, and consistent follow-up. Even without an active mentor guiding her through the early stages, she took initiative, learned through online resources, and kept moving forward. Throughout the conversation, Priscilla emphasizes that successful business building is about more than sales or rank advancement. It's about genuinely caring for people, listening to their needs, supporting customers, and building a community where others feel valued. Her story is an encouraging reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out to get started—you need a willingness to learn, take action, and remain committed to your purpose.

Episode Notes

Key Takeaways

• Start before you feel ready. Priscilla began building without knowing everything about the business, learning as she went.
• You don't need a large network. Her first class had only three attendees, but all three enrolled. Relationships and referrals helped her reach more people.
• Take ownership of your growth. When her upline was less active, she turned to Google, YouTube, and available doTERRA resources to develop her skills.
• Lead with service, not sales pressure. Priscilla believes in listening to customers, understanding their needs, and providing ongoing support.
• Consistency creates momentum. Inviting, hosting classes, following up, and supporting customers are repeatable actions that help build a business.
• Build a community around your team. Encouragement, recognition, team calls, and shared learning help builders stay motivated through difficult months.
• Define success around your personal goals. Whether someone wants to offset product costs or pursue a larger business, goals and action plans should reflect their individual ambitions.
• Connect your business to your purpose. Priscilla's faith motivates her work and her desire to serve others while creating opportunities for her family.
