Mary Kay Ash was a woman with a dream. She worked for direct sales most of her career. She loved what she did, but was tired of not getting recognized for her work because she was a women. At that time men were superior and women could not make more income than a man. So in 1963 Mary Kay started a cosmetic company with her life savings of $5,000. She designed it as a company dedicated to making life more beautiful for women. It was founded not on the competitive rule, but on the Golden Rule and on praising people to success. She also base the company on the principle of placing faith first, family second and career third. It was a company, as Mary Kay often said, “with heart.”
Her ultimate goal to create a company that would provide women with the resources to create a executive income while being able to take care of their families and home. She also wanted women to know how important they are, especially since she never got the recognition that she thought she deserved. When she started this company she promised that all of her employees would receive the highest quality gifts. By 1994 she had given away 7 thousand cars, valued at 1 million dollars. Today there are more than 2 millions consultants with the Mary Kay Company! Mary Kay’s goal has defiantly come to life and continues to grow everyday.
Many women’s lives have been changed due to this company. Not only are women becoming financially independent, but also they are increasing their self-esteem and personal growth. Mary Kay truly created a company that would impact the lives of millions of women and she would be proud of where it is today.
