Mary Kay

I have been a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant for 10 months now, and all I have to show for it are a few orders from family and a couple of friends and a TON of product sitting in boxes!!! I see a problem with this. I started Mary Kay because I knew that I could use some extra income to help pay off credit cards as well as try to get out of my comfort zone and meet new people while having fun with skin care. That has not happened, and I have decided that I need to do something about it. I need to quit making excuses and just do the things that I need to do to be successful in this business. It is not like it is rocket science or anything. Even if I don't sell any product for a little bit; if I could just get some contacts and some facials I would be pleased. BABY STEPS RIGHT?!?!?!?!

I have a lot of things that I need to do before I really get going. I do not want to start out and be all unorganized and not know what I am doing. So first, I need to get my inventory organized as well as the few customer profiles that I have. Then I need to start marketing at putting myself out there. As scary as it sounds, yes, I am going to have to talk to strangers. I believe and know that I can do this if I really dedicate myself (which I have not done the past 10 months).


So I am going to stop with the excuses and just take that leap and hopefully I can make something out of this business. Because right now I really do need the money. My first goal: Get all Mary Kay related things into one pile and organize it!!!

Emily!
I can help in some small way. The economy has hit us hard, but at least we still have our jobs.
I will call you as soon as I come up for air... sometime this week, so we can talk about an order and catch up on life's events.
I/We love you!!!
Meg and all the Leafs
