Summary: God bless Mary Kay
Comment: In an academic study by Baylor University, Mary Kay Ash, who founded Mary Kay Cosmetics in 1961 has been hailed the Greatest Female Entrepreneur in American History. After you read the Mary Kay Way, you'll know why. She built her company based on the Golden Rule--and she always practiced it, never deviating from the principle of treating others as she would want to be treated herself. She also instilled her values in others, and gradually over time, the company became one of the best-known brands in America and throughout the world. This is an amazing fact. Think about it. When did you ever see an advertsement forThe Pep Talk: A Football Story about the Business of Winningr Mary Kay Cosmetics? The company advertises so rarely that chances are, you never saw one. But who doesn't recognize the name, Mary Kay? In reading the Mary Kay Way, Mary Kay's integrity and caring for others comes through loud and clear. Although Mary Kay Ash passed away in 2001, her legacy lives on through the countless success stories of the independent saleswomen who sell her products, build their own dynamic sales organizations under the Mary Kay umbrella--the ones who succeed and earn impressive incomes comparable to top executives at Fortune 500 companies are the ones who adhere to Mary Kay's philosophy of believing that anything is possible if you work dilligently, believe in yourself, and inspire others to believe in themselves. If everyone would follow the lessons that she shares throughout this book, he or she would succeed in any field. Today, the company has 1.8 million independent sales representatives selling the company's skin care products all over the world. Mary Kay Ash's legacy lives on--providing women around the globe with opporuntities to succeed and enjoy a piece of our free enterprise system--even in places where free enterprise is a rare commodity. For this, I salute the company for the tremendous goodwill it is exporting. The Pep Talk: A Football Story about the Business of Winning

Summary: This is a MUST read for anyone that wants to be successful in family life and their business life!
Comment: The book starts out with a letter from Mary Kay's Grandson, Ryan Rogers. From that very beginning I knew it would be a wonderful update with practical advice from those at the top of Mary Kay. Few leaders are able to sustain their legacy past their life, but Mary Kay has done it and this book is proof of her enduring legacy. The Mary Kay Way will live on because of her philosophy of sharing your success with others. You won't go wrong by applying these principles to your life and your business. I suggest you purchase the book and at least one more copy to share with a friend.
