The first milestone — never pay for your oils again.
The first milestone in a doTERRA business is simple: earn enough in monthly bonuses to cover your monthly product spend. For most people, this means earning approximately $100–$150 per month. At this level, your oils effectively become free. It is a tangible, achievable goal that gives you a real experience of the business model working.
At this point you are typically earning 50–150 per month in combined bonuses. Your personal oil spend is covered.
Do not overcomplicate the beginning. At this stage, the goal is three things: use the oils daily so you have real experience to share / share genuinely with 5–10 people in your existing network / support your first 3 members in setting up their own LRP orders. That is it. Three members who order every month is the first milestone. Build that, then build the next thing.
Do not spend money on marketing materials, social media advertising, or elaborate events at this stage. The fastest path to your first $100 is having real conversations with people who already know and trust you — showing them something that genuinely helps them.
