A recent survey revealed that 10% of Americans started a side hustle or second job in 2025 because their main income wasn't enough to cover essential expenses. Think about that for a second. One out of every ten people had to find another way to earn just to keep up.
​
​If you've ever thought, "I need to make extra money"  or wondered, "how can I create financial freedom without giving up all my time?" - I've been exactly where you are.

For over 16 years, I poured my heart and soul into my company, Kodiak Mountain Stone, building it from the ground up. We manufactured stone veneer, supplied home builders and contractors, and worked on some incredible projects (with some incredible people). It was a great business and things were going well.
​
​But when the pandemic hit, everything changed. Practically overnight, I had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life. I shut the doors on the business that I had dedicated so much to.
​
​It was devastating. Not just financially, but emotionally. I had been an entrepreneur my entire life, and suddenly I was asking myself: What's Next?
​
​I knew two things for sure:

That's when my good friend, Kenny Anderson, shared the dōTERRA Business Opportunity with me.
​
​At first, I was skeptical. Honestly, I had used dōTERRA products for over 10 years and knew they were incredible, but I had never looked at the business side. Then Kenny shared his story. He started with dōTERRA casually as a side hustle, and within a short time, it became a significant stream of residual income. Thirteen years later, it's grown into millions of dollars in annual income. But what impacted me most wasn't the money - it was the freedom it gave him to live life on his terms.
​
​That was my epiphany moment. If I wanted to build something meaningful, create time freedom, and help others do the same, dōTERRA was the perfect fit.

We live in a time when people are working harder than ever but still feel like they're falling behind. Search engines prove it: "how to make money online" is one of the most searched terms in the world, with over 368,000 monthly searches in 2025.
​
​That tells me something - people are hungry for a better way. They want:

That's exactly what I found in dōTERRA.

One of the biggest questions I get is: "But Jeff, how do you actually make money with dōTERRA?"
​
​Here's a simple breakdown:

The best part? You can start small. Many people begin their dōTERRA journey just looking to create an extra $500-$1,000 a month to cover bills, pay off debt, or save for family vacations. Over time, if you want, it can grow into a six-figure business and more.

When I had to shut down Kodiak Mountain Stone, I promised myself one thing: I would not build another high capitalized business that would own my life. I love being an entrepreneur, but I also want to be present with my family, to coach, watch my kids sports and activities, and to chase the goals that really matter.
​
​dōTERRA gave me that chance. It wasn't just about making money (though the income is real and powerful). It was about alignment with my values - health, freedom, family, and helping others succeed.

Back when I was competing as a professional rodeo cowboy and coaching basketball, I often thought about how amazing it would be to have a business I could run from anywhere. When you're on the road, or when you're spending countless hours in the gym or at the arena, flexibility is everything.
​
​If I had dōTERRA back then, it would have been the perfect side hustle - something that didn't require me to sacrifice my time with my family, but still allowed me to build long-term financial freedom.
​
​That's why I'm so passionate about sharing this with others. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, an entrepreneur, or just someone who knows you're meant for more, this opportunity was built for people like us.

If you're wondering how to start your own home business or create an online income stream, here are the next steps that I recommend:

If there's one thing I've learned, it's this: being great at your job doesn't always create the life you dream of. I learned that the hard way, but I've also had some doors open to something better - an entrepreneurial opportunity where I could build income, make a real impact, and live life on y own terms
​
​So, here's my challenge for you; Ask yourself, "If I keep doing what I'm doing now, will it ever give me the time and financial freedom I truly want?"
​
​If the anser is no, then maybe it's time to explore something new.
