Turning Bald Into a Business: Walker Launches Her Beauty Line
| |
| “God answered my prayer, for one night I had a dream, and in that dream a big black man appeared to me and told me what to mix up for my hair,” said Walker. “Some of the remedy was grown in Africa, but I sent for it, mixed it, put it on my scalp, and in a few weeks my hair was coming in faster than it had ever fallen out. I tried it on my friends; it helped them. I made up my mind I would begin to sell it.” |

Lesson #1: It Is Never To Late To Get Your Start
| |
| “When we began to make $10 a day, [my ex-husband] thought that was enough, thought I ought to be satisfied,” said Walker. “But I was convinced that my hair preparation would fill a long-felt want. And when we found it impossible to agree, due to his narrowness of vision, I embarked on business for myself.” |
|
|
Lesson #2: Success is Built not Born
| |
| “I am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South,” said Walker. “From there I was promoted to the washtub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparations....I have built my own factory on my own ground.” |

Lesson #3: Do Not Accept a Crisis, Act on It
| |
| “I got my start by giving myself a start,” said Walker. |

Lesson #4: Make Your Market Your Manpower
| |
| Walker knew who her market was and she knew what she had to do to reach them. While marketing strategies of the past focused mostly on advertising, Walker knew that the majority of black women at the time were unable to read. Thus, she began a uniquely successful campaign of face to face network marketing. But what made Walker a success was not just the fact that she knew and understood her market; she was, after all, her own best customer. Walker was able to get the market on her side by using it as manpower. |

|
Lesson #5: Make Perseverance Your Motto
| |
| “There is no royal flower-strewn path to success,” said Walker. “And if there is, I have not found it for if I have accomplished anything in life it is because I have been willing to work hard.” |

Is helping others the best way to market your company?
| |
| There is a country song I sometimes hear called the Chain of Love by Clay Walker. It’s a nice little story about how helping others inspires others to help, and that one day the favor you started will return kind fate to you. |

Mentoring and Walking - Taking a Different Route
| |
| I am a very keen walker especially around the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside. Now one can get in a rut in walking as in business of always going the same way. I consider this principle in my latest article and find amazing value in taking a different route. I describe how I went for a walk with one of my clients near his home to great benefit to both parties. Read on and perhaps we can go for a walk too!

The Power of the Word
| |
| Frequently we become so pragmatic we fail to be effective. A number of years ago the editor of the Dallas Morning News pointed out to the sports writers that “Bill” was not a suitable substitute for “William,” and “Charlie” was not a suitable substitute for “Charles.” Taking him literally, one of the sports writers, in the heyday of Doak Walker of Southern Methodist University, wrote about an important game. In his story he pointed out that in the third quarter Doak Walker had left the game with a “Charles horse.” I think you’ll agree that the story lost some meaning with the use of the word “Charles.” |
