Celebrating 45 Years!!
Wow its been a while since I wrote a post, so much is going on I feel that time is slipping by!
I hope this post finds you well and you are happily into the year now.
Well it was time to write because today is Mary Kay Australia's 45th Anniversary!!
This wonderful company has been in our amazing country for 45 years and there are so many exciting years to come.
Last night at our unit meeting we had a little party and looked at where we had been and what is to come. It was wonderful looking over some of the memorabilia that Muriel my Director has. She met Mary Kay many times and has many signed things by her including personal letters which are so special.
I wanted to share this short summary of this company that my Director shared, it gives an overview if you've never heard the story before of this woman Mary Kay and her success story.
45 YEARS AGO on FEBRUARY 23rd 1971 MARY KAY OPENED IN AUSTRALIA
IT IS A CHARMING, SPIRITED. A ONE-OF-A KIND SUCCESS STORY
Over the years, there have been many successful business leaders but none as unique as Mary Kay Ash, Founder of Mary Kay Inc.
Her accomplishments left an unforgettable mark on American business and opened the door for women around the world to experience success on their own terms .
YOU CAN DO IT!!
THESE WORDS EMBODY THE VERY SPIRIT OF Mary Kay Ash and the Company she created!
It is the spirit she learned as a child growing up in Hot Wells, Texas. When facing new or daunting tasks her mother encouraged her with, “You can do it, Mary Kay You can do it” Mary Kay Ash did more than embrace this empowering spirit—she passed it on through a remarkable company that would inspire millions in generations to come.
That company story didn’t begin until Mary Kay Ash faced a situation all to familiar to women. After 25 years in the direct selling business, Mary Kay Ash resigned her position as a national training director when yet another man she trained was promoted above her—at twice her salary. Her response was visionary. At first, she started writing a book that would help women gain the opportunities she had been denied. But soon she realized she was creating a plan that would do much more than give advice. It formed the foundation for a new opportunity where women could develop their talents and achieve unlimited success.
“I ENVISIONED A COMPANY in WHICH ANY WOMAN COULD BECOME JUST AS SUCCESSFUL as SHE WANTED TO BE. The doors would be wide open to OPPORTUNITY for WOMEN WHO WERE WILLING and had the COURAGE to DREAM.”
So in 1963, with past experience, her plan and $5,000 in savings, Mary Kay Ash enlisted the help of her 20 year old son, Richard, and created Beauty by Mary Kay. It was the 1st company dedicated to making life more beautiful for women. It was founded not on the competitive rule but on the Golden Rule– on praising people to success-and on the principle of placing faith first, family second and career third. It was a company, as Mary Kay Ash often said. ”With heart”.
“The success (of Mary Kay Inc.) is much, much deeper than just dollars and cents and buildings and assets. THE REAL SUCCESS of OUR COMPANY is MEASURED TO ME in THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED AND GIVEN HOPE.”
I am so thankful that Mary Kay has been a part of my life for the past 11 years and I have seen so many women change their lives through it all.
And it continues everyday! head to the website to see the continuing work and to check out the fabulous NEW PRODUCTS!!
Thankyou for letting me share with you, that is what I love about this business I get to help enrich women's lives.
Have a wonderful week!
