As a Independent Beauty Consultant, currently a Team Leader, I appreciate this forum because one can learn from a variety of experiences. There is potential with Mary Kay but to make it to the top, even to Director, takes a lot of work and determination. It takes a lot of time, too. What I have found is this business requires you to look long term. If you are working it part time then you aren't going to see a advancement and maybe not much profit (if you are reinvesting in inventory)for a long time. I came in with big inventory because I wanted to have the product on hand and because I was told I would lose sales if I didn't have it. I see some advantages to big inventory but I also see some advantages to coming in at $200 or $600. It really depends on the woman. Big inventory could stress someone out if they were working it part time or small inventory could stress someone out if they wanted to work full time and were constantly having to order. Each individual situation must be assessed considering the goals and personality of the Consultant. I wouldn't always talk "Big Inventory." :-)

I have a degree in business and do not believe there is a direct connection with business savy and whether one does well in Mary Kay. A decision to leave can come from many reasons besides business experience. Sometimes it comes down to a person reevaluating how they want to spend their time and who they want to spend their time with...and sometimes they need to move on from MK. I know there are business savy, hard working women who leave this company for valid reasons. We tell recruits, "Try it for a year and if you don't like it you can get out and send your inventory back. There is no dishonor in trying." So, if a woman comes here, after having tried, to share her story at a site that promotes telling your story...well, I don't see anything wrong with that. On the other hand, I love to hear the Success Stories too. :-)

My 2 cents, Susan
