We wish you a Merry Christmas & a cosmetically enriched new year!

Merry Christmas everyone! Be safe!!!

Merry Christmas Sean, you Irish hooligan!

With any small business it’s going to take a LOT of time and effort. You get out what you put in. I have seen a few family members begin their own business and it took them years before they were able to see large profits. I saw how much time and effort went into making their business successful and I am fully expecting to do the same in order to make Mary Kay successful for me.

It’s great to see both sides of the argument. I went online and read just about every negative comment said about MK. I needed to see why people were unhappy and why they didn’t succeed. I think if you only read the “omg this company is the greatest thing ever” comments you are going to be disappointed when you discover this isn’t as easy as you thought.

Everyone is different and everyone is going to have their own personal experiences to share, whether it is bad or good. Getting angry because people call MK a cult or pyramid scheme is silly because, to that person, that is exactly what Mary Kay is. Those of us with better experiences don’t see it like that and that’s great. But just because you had a bad experience with MK don’t get down on those who succeeded. (and those who are just making comments and who never had experience with MK just like to hear themselves talk imo…to me if you never worked for them or knew someone directly then why bother putting in your two cents…but again that’s just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions…)

You should NEVER be “talked into” doing something outside your own means. If I didn’t have the $600.00 that I was willing to invest in MK then guess what, I would had told the director no. Of course directors have their own angles they are working; the trick is to get your own angle where you can make the most profit for yourself. If you were persuaded to do something you couldn’t financially back up then that’s your own fault and no one else’s. Seriously, when did people stop taking responsibility for their own actions? Last MK party I went to I’m pretty sure the consultant didn’t hold a gun to anyone’s head.

With any business the key is to be as well educated as possible about your product, the target consumers, and the best marketing strategy and to make sure you are committed to spend as much time as it takes to make it successful. If you are in this because you think you will be making tons of money right away you are sadly mistaken. I suggest you do a lot of research; figure out what works, what doesn’t work, and get as much education as you possibly can in. You will never be “stuck” with tons of extra inventory because they will offer back 90% of your total inventory (plus shipping). Really they make this business adventure pretty safe if you know what you are doing.

Your site has gone quiet but your spirit… and dedication to MBs… lives on.

What is it about PinkTruth.com that riles up so many ex-Mary Kayers? Aren’t you guys on the same side with the same goal?

The new consultant should then learn how to run a business by getting more training especially from outside sources. They should only buy inventory they can afford and on an “as needed” basis and then know how to book enough classes or be a vendor at events to move the product.

They should be talk immediately how to recruit ethically and not “push” thousands of dollars worth of inventory on anybody.

It is up to each individual to get the training they need and use common sense. Afterall it is their business. People have GOT to have the mindset of a real business owner so personal development is key. Nobody can nor do they have the right to blame anything on anybody else, especially their own short comings and failures.

Responsibility=YOU and YOU are Golden, do what’s right for YOU! Do it honestly and with integrity!
