ABOUT BETH
How excited I am to share my story with you! One of the first important things for you to know is that Mary Kay was put in my life at a time when I least expected it, but most needed it! Our family moved to Fort Worth, Texas in January 2000 from Alabama, where I had been a full time Mom, and a deaf education teacher. Not wanting to jump into the school systems mid-year, I started working as an administrative assistant. This was to help put my husband through school and contribute to our family finances that were very stretched with two boys (at the time one and three), tuition, living expenses, childcare, and the list goes on!
The ONLY reason I said yes to a Mary Kay facial was because a good friend let me know she was having an open house, and I thought I needed to at least stop by. I was not looking to change products, but of course, when I experienced the #1 Best Selling Brand, I was hooked! Shortly after trying the products, I was a guest at Rena Live. Although I did not sign my agreement that night, my recruiter set a follow-up appointment and in January 2001, I made a life-changing decision! I would like to tell you that my goals were big and lofty, but honestly, I was only looking to earn $50.00 a week so we could go on a date, have a babysitter, and go to the movies! In thinking back to my first goal poster, I put a picture of the red jacket, a savings account statement, and a picture of the Red Grand Am because those were the things that were "supposed" to be there, not because I really thought they were attainable. What surprised me was that by working my business only about 4 - 6 hours a week, I started to replace my full-time income!
With the combination of my work ethic and leadership that my Senior Director, Jeannie Helm provided, all of those dreams were realized, and many more! One of the most exciting things yet was earning my first car…a 2002 fully loaded RED Pontiac Grand Am! Brad and I had managed with one vehicle (and one payment!) and just juggled things to make them work while I was building my business. So you can imagine the thrill of going to the dealership, being treated like a queen, signing in two places, and sitting in a car that only had 5 miles on it when I put the key in the engine!!!
We have such an incredible company that allows us a variety of options. Choices about how much or little time you invest in your business, choices about the amount of income you want to make, choices about the kind of future you will have…it is all up to you. I'm so grateful that I considered the question, "What's the worst thing that can happen?" and took a chance on myself. My family, my life, and my future are forever changed!
