Why Athletes and Coaches Are Perfect for This Business Opportunity

When I was rodeoing as a professional steer wrestler, I spent countless hours on the road From town to town, rodeo to rodeo, it was a lifestyle that I loved, but it didn't exactly lend itself to having a traditional job. Looking back, I can't help but think, "I wish I had known about this opportunity back then!"

​If you're an athlete or a coach, you already understand the hustle, the dedication, and the value of your time. What you might not realize yet is that the same mindset that drives you to train hard and compete is exactly what makes you perfect for this business.

​Let me show you why.

A Flexible Side Hustle Idea That Fits Your Lifestyle

One of the biggest challenges for athletes and coaches is time. You're training, you're traveling, you're mentoring others. But what if I told you there's a business model that fits into your schedule, not the other way around?

​The dōTERRA business opportunity es exactly that. Whether you're on the road with your team, headed to a competition, or working from home during the off-season, this business can run around your life. 

​You can do it in person or you can build it 100% online with our exclusive app. It truly is a business on your terms.

​If you're interested in building an online business and want to see how it works, we created a great resource called the 3 Keys to Freedom. It gives you a powerful ebook as a resource and you'll also receive a training that shows exactly how to build this business online. It lays out the roadmap to building a flexible, online business that earns residual income while still letting you focus on what you love the most.

Health and Wellness products built for high performers

Athletes and coaches care about performance. Your energy, your focus, your recovery - they all matter.

​That's why dōTERRA products are such a natural fit. We are talking about clean, pure essential oils, wellness products, and supplements that support your immune system, manage stress, enhance sleep (so important for athletes!), boost metabolic health, and more.

​These are tools we use daily in our own routines In fact, many of the athletes we work with inside The Confident Athlete Program are using dōTERRA products alongside our mental game and mindset training to perform at their best. It's a total game changer.

Coaches: Lead Your Team On and Off the Field

Tami Matheny and I coach athletes every day through our programs, but we also lead by example. We are both building our dōTERRA businesses because we believe in their incredible products and in the power of this business model. And let me tell you, we've seen firsthand how this has helped other coaches to create additional income streams without sacrificing their passion and focus for the game.

​Through our exclusive app, our team has some powerful coaching tools that you can use such as The 4 Week Win Challenge. This program helps you to build habits that transform your life, boost your health and create lasting change.

​Imagine this: what if you ran The 4 Week Win Challenge with your team, helping them to build daily accountability, create winning routines, and develop powerful success habits? What if, in the process, you were also building a business that gives you more financial flexibility and time freedom?

​That's exactly what The 4 Week Win Challenge is all about. And it ties in perfectly with what we do through our dōTERRA business.

Passive Income and Residual Rewards

Here's the truth, as much as we love what we do as athletes and coaches, we don't always think long term when it comes to our income. I get it. It's easy to put all your focus on the 'now.' But what if you could build something now that pays you for years to come?

​This is about creating residual income. Income that shows up even when you're not actively working. That means you can focus on your athletes, your training, or your coaching and still build wealth in the background.

​I've built a number of businesses from the ground up. It took everything I had. With dōTERRA, I found a business that I enjoy that still rewards effort and leadership, but now I get to work with people I love, on a schedule I control, from wherever I am.
