The Golden Rule~ "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
All Independent Beauty Consultants who pursue their potential with the company and as an individual is encouraged to adopt a priority set that is proven to gain a higher quality of life and living...
1.God 2.Family 3.Career
(In that order;)
I know that I am not alone when I say, I have been in jobs and a career where this priority list was scrambled. The more hours I worked the more I had to work. The logic was lost at times and I was beginning to feel as though I was loosing myself and my family. I wasn't always there for the important things like school field trips, parent day, dinner with my husband and children. I felt trapped and helpless and didn't see any other options because "This is what I got a college degree for...isn't it?"..."How else will I pay the bills and provide for my family?"... "All the things I've missed will all be worth it one day...won't it?" I found myself asking these questions... the answers were a combination of the following..."No!" ... "I don't know"... "Becca, there is a better way for you. One in which you CAN find happiness and fulfillment as not only a wife and a mother, but as a career driven person!" I knew I had to find that way, not only for my sake, but for my family's well-being.
“You can do it!”
Through an amazing and unexpected change of events, I had the "opportunity to pursue other career options". For any of you who have been there, that's just a professional way of saying "I got let go" from my job and career field of 3 years. Though there are certainly things about it that I will miss, I have gained experience and a priceless skill set that I can take with me in whatever I choose to do in the future. There are still some of those previous questions lingering in the air that jump up to discourage me and try to keep me feeling trapped and helpless but I've been given peace to combat those fears and insecurities. I can see past the questions of doubt and focus on a future of certainty!!
Event planning has become my passion. Its most definitely what I see myself doing in 5, 10, 20 years. I have met so many amazing people in Birmingham and surrounding areas already, that it just makes me more motivated to continue on! 2B Events is in the very beginning stages of a dream that is ever growing and evolving. I am blessed and honored to have the opportunities that have already been offered to me and I know that I can't even conceive of the full potential at this time.
"For me Mary Kay is a trolley that picked me up at the corner of "End-of-the Rd" & "What-do-I-do-now St." I took a leap of faith and held on..."
Mary Kay is more than a great cosmetic line that offers beauty in the mirror. Mary Kay is a fingerprint experience that offers beauty in your life. Every woman in the Mary Kay community has their own unique story(ies), most of which will make you laugh, make you cry, inspire you and drive you to success in your own life whatever your goals.
"Friendships, Inspiration, Encouragement, Tools for Success are all the things I've picked up so far and i'm only on "1st-Step Ave. But i'm on the North side... and the future looks bright."
For me Mary Kay is a trolley that picked me up at the corner of "End-of-the Rd" & "What-do-I-do-now St." I took a leap of faith and held on, I've met some great women that are on board as well and I'm looking forward to the ride. Mary Kay is a viable way for me to achieve short term goals of providing for my family to sustain our standard of living that we have been blessed with. Though its not big and flashy, its home and there's love. Mary Kay is also a way for me to pursue long term goals of growing 2B Events, a Birmingham specific event design and planning service, to be a first option to anyone seeking to host an event within the greater Birmingham area.
Friendships, Inspiration, Encouragement, Tools for Success are all the things I've picked up so far and I'm only on "1st-Step Ave. But I'm on the North side... and the future looks bright.
“I envisioned a company in which any woman could become just as successful as she wanted to be. The doors would be wide open to opportunity for women who were willing to pay the price and had the courage to dream.” ~Mary Kay Ash
