Lesson #4: Infuse Your Company with a Survival Mentality
“I started The Body Shop in 1976 simply to create a livelihood for myself and my two daughters, while my husband, Gordon, was trekking across the Americas,” recalls Roddick. “I had no training or experience and my only business acumen was Gordon’s advice to take sales of £300 a week. Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.”
Lesson #3: Let Your Intellect Rely On Your Instincts
One month before Ash’s company was set to launch, her second husband died of a heart attack. He had been the one in charge of the legal and financial matters of Beauty by Mary Kay. With him gone, Ash wasn’t sure if she could still succeed in achieving her dreams. When she approached both her lawyer and accountant with the idea to continue launching her company, she was given the same response – she was told she would lose her entire life savings of $5,000. They did not think Ash had what it took to succeed without her husband.

Thriving During a Recession

Lesson #3: Go Against the Grain
In the late 1950s, when Johnson was beginning to increasingly use black models for his magazines as well as the Ebony Fashion Fair Show that he sponsored, he began to notice how difficult it was for these women to find cosmetics shades that were dark enough for their skin.

Lesson #4: Act With Integrity
“Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, once told me something I’ll never forget,” recalled Thomas. “She said the one suggestion she got in life that helped her most was to ‘pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, ‘Make me feel important.’”
A Fresh Face in the World: Mary Kay Ash is Born
“Most people live and die with their music still unplayed,” Mary Kay Ash once said. “They never dare to try.” Ash was not one of those people. Raised in a time when few women were in business, let alone successful in business, Ash broke down barriers on her rise up to creating a multi-billion dollar operation. Today, Mary Kay Cosmetics Inc. continues to be a leader in the industry, with outlets in over 30 countries that are staffed by 1.6 million employees.

Lesson #1: Live by the Golden Rule
“I can say unequivocally that every decision we make at Mary Kay Cosmetics is based on the Golden Rule,” said Ash. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

As a business owner constantly recruiting prospective sales partners, I have spoken with and met many experienced salespeople in our industry. I’ve also met many newbies to our industry, who are considering selling for the first time - since they’ve heard it’s a lucrative career with residual income opportunity in an industry that will not be going away (at least we all hope this to be true). With so many experienced and inexperienced salespeople entering new industries, how do you truly learn the industry and become a “professional salesperson?”

Financial Reform Bill Diversity Requirement Has Challenges
