Congratulations to Phyllis DiNicola who has been chosen as our Superstar of the Month for April (and actually is her birthday month too!) Phyllis is a personal team member who started her Mary Kay business in June 1989!
As a hostess she helped me to earn my very first diamond ring for the Queen’s Court of Personal Sales. In the process, I convinced her that she could earn one for herself too. I am very proud to say that just one year later, Phyllis was on stage in Dallas being awarded a diamond ring while I collected my second one. (Hers was so much more exciting for me!) Let’s all get to know her a little better!

As the last few days of 2008 go by, are you starting to think about what your goals and dreams are for 2009? As Mary Kay would always say, “If you knew you couldn’t fail…” what would your goals be for the new year?
I have created a goal sheet for you to use that allow you to put any goal that you want and break it down and make yourself accountable! Being accountable is such an important part of reaching a goal that I also wrote a post about it today on the parent site. I recommend that you take a few minutes to read and go over it tonight. Then put some thought into what YOU desire for the new year, not what you think that I want to hear!
It all begins in your mind. Will you create abundance? I would love to help you get everything that you want in the new year! Tell me what you think. I want to know what your goals are!

Women Buy for Holidays

Mary Kay says…
“There are 6 reasons why
a woman buys something…
Because her husband says she can have it!
Because he says she can’t have it!
Because it will make her look thinner!
Because nobody else has one!
Because everyone has one!
Just because!!”
Preferred Hostess Program

Preferred Hostess Program
Look for 25 Women who love to hold Classes
Why this is beneficial to YOU!!
Want to have 2 classes a week every week guaranteed?
Here’s how to do it:
Look for 25 women who LOVE to hold classes, shows etc.
You offer her the Preferred Hostess program, tell her you are only allowed to have 25 and you would like to offer it to her!!Here are the results:
25 women holding 4 parties @ year = 100 parties
100 classes a year divided by 50 weeks = 2 classes a week
100 Classes X $250 average = $25,000. in sales with a minimum 300 NEW customer base and you can always add new Preferred Hostess!!
By offering the different levels, Gold, Silver and Bronze, it allows a hostess to try the program once or twice without committing to all four parties. So make a list of 1 to 25 and start finding those preferred hostesses. Start with your existing Hostesses, good Customers, call them today and offer them your special as one of the 25 you are ALLOWED to have. Make them feel special!!! Treat them special…send thank you cards, reminder cards, especially birthdays etc….
Work the Program and Enjoy the Results!!!

It’s Not About the Shoes
It’s What You DO IN THEM…That Counts!
It’s about knowing where you are going.
Not forgetting where you started.
It’s about having the courage tofail.
Not breaking when you are broken.
Taking everything you have been given
and making something better.
It’s about work…before glory
And what’s inside of you.
It’s doing what they say you can’t.
It’s not about the shoes…
It’s about what you do in them.
It’s about being who you were born to be.

Take a look back in time to see this documentary on the Company. I am so proud to have been a part of this Company for half of the time that it has been in existence. (1963) This video shows some exciting “behind the scenes” operations. Many of the women in this video have reached the top level of National Sales Director! You can hear Mary Kay herself announcing the beginning of Awards Night with the very same words that are used today! Listen carefully at the end to hear the story of the diamond bumblebee. Then you will know why I cherish mine so much! Enjoy!
