When I started my Mary Kay business more than 35 years ago, I was not expecting what I found. It quickly became apparent that a Mary Kay business provided self-confidence, extra income, recognition, friends, business skills, and flexibility. My business required integrity, consistent effort, and constantly being outside of my comfort zone. I grew and became a better person in all aspects of my life. I am forever grateful for this opportunity, and for everything and everyone it has given me.
