When I started my Mary Kay business 10 years ago, I was a mom of 3 kids and a wife and working as a Registered Nurse full-time. I started my business for the product discount of 50% and for my family's FUN money . I am now building my unit and am working towards a leadership role in the company as a director. The best gift I have received from Mary Kay is not the prizes or the money, but the friendships from the women that I have met as customers and consultants.
