Very Inspirational

This is a true story about how Mary Kay started her business, as well as how she lived her life. However, I could not do all that selling - I couldn't do any at all, but obviously it didn't bother her at all. It is inspiring and encouraging to know that she put God first, family second, and then career. It is also awesome to know that she treated her employees so good, that there is a long waiting list to work at her company headquarters, and that people can come there just to get away from it all.

Mary Kay Ash was dynamic in person! Nani Aki Linder Author Trial By Fire A True Story Of Hope

Mary Kay Ash lived her philosophy of god first, family second, career third. I had the honor of meeting her as a Sales Director with Mary Kay and was priviledged to attend one of her leadership workshops at headquarters in Dallas, Texas. She was a brilliant leader. An inspiring teacher and most of all a woman who walked the talk. Her series of books when read closely reveals a business plan that is bold and forward thinking. It is simple in its application and most of all her plan is doable. I would advise women who want to become consultants with Mary Kay cosmetics to read all of her books. Listen carefully to the plan. Follow the plan, never ever giving up. She used to tell us that "its always too soon to quit!" Great book with great advice from a woman who made it to the top and beyond..........

A Must for your Library

This is a must have book! Mary Kay has it right - Faith, Family and Career! You can't go wrong with this philosophy. This book really helps put things in perspective. Highly recommend this book to everyone!

Learn the motivational story behind Mary Kay Cosmetics. This book completely expresses what a wonderful, amazing woman Mary Kay was. Very inspirational.

What An Inspiration!

If you are looking for a book to inspire you and help you to set your priorities for life, this is the book for you. Not only is Mary Kay's writing addictive, her message is wonderful. I keep this and a few other of her books in a convenient spot so I can go back and read portions regularly. I find that her writing keeps me on track in life. Her idea of God First, Family Second, and Career Third; really made an impact on me. I would recommend this book to any woman or man of any age, religion and social status.
