Adventures in Business


Above is my very own website for my new business- Mary Kay!

My journey started off with learning about the company, finding out ways to get my business started through the Mary Kay website, ordering inventory to have items on hand to purchase, and talking a lot to other Mary Kay consultants. They are such an amazing bunch of women. Since there are no territories, everyone is so helpful and accommodating. They want you to succeed! It's so refreshing! Where in any company are people supporting you to move ahead?! I love it.




I have two goals I am trying to reach this month. One: Do 30 facials in 30 days. Two: 100 stripe tests of the new foundation in 30 days. The first goal is not as lofty, I can totally do that! I am almost there. Thanks to my mom, Jen, Steph, Rachel and Matt's lovely cousins I have 20 facials and stripe tests complete. My ten more facials will come from the parties I have lined up this coming week with Julie, Amy, and Jessica. I can't wait! However, the 100 stripe tests is a lofty goal. A lot of the ladies in MK are almost there, but since I just joined come February when the new foundations came out, I had a late start. I am hoping to get those done too.



I was able to get "adopted" into a unit here since my directors are in Florida and Georgia. They meet on Mondays. I would love to go to every single one, they are like these amazing pep rallies for selling Mary Kay! They're motivating, inspiring, and I learned a lot already in my one attended meeting! The problem with the Monday meetings are that I meet with my small group- and I love them too! My goal is to hit at least one Monday meeting/ month.

My facial classes have been great so far.  I haven't received any further bookings from them yet, but I am hoping more will continue. I would also like to try and get some stripe tests from my school friends. All I need is a willing face, no purchases necessary!

This is a very exciting time, and I am loving every minute of my new adventure. I really truly appreciate my family and friends who have supported me through this new journey and supported my facial classes. Without them, none of this could even be possible. I value that support so much. Words cannot express my gratitude to those who have booked a facial class and let me try out my new Mary Kay wings. Thank you!!

I can't wait to update more on this work in progress!
