Usually I post about the boys, or family events, but this time I had to brag a little. I have been working my Mary Kay business almost 2 years now. I am doing pretty well, gaining new customers, making sales, and really growing as a person. There are two things I have gotten out of my Mary Kay business that I didn't expect when I signed up (I started to help the family financially): 1) The relationships I have made are amazing. Not only have I made some great friends with some of my customers, the other consultants are some of my best friends now. 2) I have gained a tremendous amount of self confidence and self-esteem. Mary Kay gives me an avenue to grow personally and professionally, in such a safe and welcoming, and very encouraging place.
But, on to what my title is about. As I grow in my business, it's just natural for me to share with others what an amazing opportunity this business is for me and my family. As that happens, other women are interested in that for themselves. I love to offer this to others, and to help them to experience what I have, and to help them grow and succeed in their own business. This is what Mary Kay wanted us to do because she truly believed this opportunity was one women couldn't get anywhere else. So, as of now, I have 3 women on my team, which makes me what is called a "Star Team Builder", and allows me to wear a red jacket. It may seem a little funny to you, but it really is a big deal in our Mary Kay world. It is a big step towards leadership in my business. Chris was so proud of me, and he brought home a dozen red roses before I left for my recognition and awards event on Tuesday. Then, as a part of the recognition, the women in my unit gave me "red" gifts (red nail polish, red pens, red m & m's, red hots, a red bracelet, and several other red things). I just had to share since I am so proud, and so excited to enter this next step in my business. Right now I don't have any pictures, since they are all on my director's camera, but I will certainly share once she sends them my way!
On Saturday she took me, along with a few other consultants, on a "Mystery Date". Each quarter, she has a surprise planned for all consultants who achieve Star Consultant status. This time she took us to do indoor kart racing. It was a blast! Here are a few pictures.
