Free to Give

Free to Give is a new doTERRA^®-sponsored recognition incentive program designed to inspire Wellness Advocates to pay off debt and live abundantly while becoming free financially in order to be in a better position to give to others.

The program focuses on four main levels of paying off debt to help increase personal freedom and financial stability:

1. Credit cards
2. Automobiles
3. Loans and medical bills
4. Mortgage

Paying off any one of these is a huge accomplishment. Each Wellness Advocate enrolled in the Free to Give program who achieves financial independence in any of these categories will receive a token to symbolize their achievement. Our goal is that Wellness Advocates can begin their journey to becoming free one category at a time, until they are ultimately in a place where they are Free to Give.

To enroll in the Free to Give program, or to purchase a paperback copy of a customized doTERRA version of The 4 Laws of Financial Prosperity by Blaine Harris and Charles Conrad, visit freetogive.com. (An eBook will be available at a future date.)

The Importance of Financial Prosperity: An interview with Emily Wright, Founding Executive, Sales and Marketing

When Emily Wright got married, one of the first things she did was to go out and buy furniture and a car she couldn’t afford. She says, “It took me many years to be able to pull myself out of the debt that I accrued unnecessarily at a young age. I wish I would have had a model put before me to help me know how to manage my finances.”

She remembers as a young mother going to the grocery store with $26 in her checking account that had to last the rest of the month. While nursing, she wasn’t able to afford the nutrition to produce the milk she needed for her baby. Now she works to offer hope to others going through similar difficult situations. She says, “Sometimes we get so steeped in debt that we can’t see the light. We can’t see how we’re ever going to get out. I want to show our Wellness Advocates that there is hope. They can break free from that debt and be able to offer themselves possibilities that they never thought possible.”

Although Emily was living the principle of giving back first and living within her means, it was actually Dave Stirling who first taught her the principle of paying herself before allocating resources to living expenses. She says, “It completely shifted my mindset and put me in a position where my family and I were nearly completely out of debt when we started doTERRA, which allowed us the resources to be able to take everything and put it into the company.”

The day she went to the bank and wrote the check to pay off the remaining balance on her mortgage is a day she’ll never forget. She says, “I cried knowing that I was not beholden to anyone anymore. These resources are mine now. I get to do with them as I see fit. I get to live a lifestyle that promotes family unity and happiness and I get to give as big as I choose. That’s such a wonderful, liberating feeling that I want everyone to have.”

The doTERRA executives have always operated the company with a conservative mindset and today the company is 100 percent debt free. But, even before that point, they created the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation™ to ensure that giving back was defined as a core element of the company. Emily says, “We made the decision early on that we would make a very large contribution to be able to serve people that were in a greater need than we were. That decision was made at a time that we didn’t yet know if the company was going to make it.”

Today, all the executives hope that every Wellness Advocate will be able to become free from debt, live a lifestyle that brings them joy, and have the freedom to give to others. Emily says, “Each one of us wants to be a part of something larger than ourselves, something that is cause driven and doing good in the world. Whether we’re contributing to Healing Hands or simply buying one bottle of essential oil, we are blessing lives.”
