Mary Kay Seminar Day 2

I am still very happy to be at seminar learning everything I need to know to be successful in my business.  I have not been treating myself as a business woman.  I can't remember the last time I did a facial or called a customer for reorders.  Just before I left for seminar I had a customer call me, she asked if I had.  fallen off the planet.  I jokingly replied that I kind of had but I was slowly getting back on.  That is actually the truth.  Mary Kay refers to the pink bubble.  The pink bubble is the atmosphere that develops when consultants get together at an event.  I have not been in the bubble for so long I forgot how nice it can be to be with people who can share your vision for what you are trying to do.

Now don't go thinking I have gone over the edge or lost my mind or anything.  I have goals for myself, but they aren't going to take over my life, like I know they could.
These are my goals:
1.  To work my business consistently all year long.
2.  To work 2 days a week at my Mary Kay as well as 2 days a week at my nursing job.
3.  To meet as many new people as I can.
4.  To help women feel the confidence that having great skin and wearing makeup, knowing that what they are wearing looks great on them, can provide.
5.  Keep my goals in front of me so I will not forget what I am working towards.
6.  To keep adding to my goals so that I neevr grow so comfortable that I forget to grow.

Then there was the awards ceremony.  Oh my God!  I want to wear some of those dresses.  I am not usually a crier but seeing some of the women that were on stage accepting awards and the pride in their husbands faces, I have to admit I teared up a little.  I am sure there will be more on this later but right now the band is playing "I love rock and roll" and I want to dance, so later!

Mary Kay Seminar Day 1

A good nights sleep can completely change you outlook on everything.  I am excited to be here in Dallas, I am blessed to have very considerate roomates that are also super sweet.  Most importantly I remember how much I love Mary Kay products and how happy I am to be able to make money doing something that I can truly enjoy this much. 
It doesn't hurt that our seats are absolutely awesome!

As the day continued my enthusiasm waxed and waned.  Looking back on the day I am extremely happy that I am here at seminar making decisions and getting inspired for the year to come.

Mary Kay Seminar Day 0

I am currently in Dallas at the Mary Kay annual seminar.  This is my frst year with Mary Kay and therefore my first seminar.  There are so many excited women around me, all with absolutely beautiful skin.  I have seen some very interesting takes on how makeup can be worn I must say. 
Unfortunately I am not one of those hyper excited women tonight.  By all rights I should be.   I had a geat first year with Mary Kay, especially since I found out I finished the year at number 2 in my unit and I made the princess court of sales for my national area.  That doesn't mean much to people who aren't in Mary Kay, and honestly I don't think I really did anything to deserve that except spend a whole heck of a lot of money building up a full store inventory. 
Don't worry, the heck of a lot is paid off and now whatever I sell  I am making money which is quite nice.  I just wish I was as excited as some of these other women seem to be.
Maybe it is lack of sleep.  Maybe it is that I have been outside of the pink world for too long.  Whatever it is, I still love selling Mary Kay and will sell and use the product for the rest of my life.
