Why am I blogging?

Have you notice my last couple of posts were not that interesting to read?  Well I can tell you why, it's because I fell asleep half way writing it every time and I had to wake up in the middle of the night to finish it.  You ask why would I do such that?  Why not just finish it the next day or not write the blog at all for a night, nobody is going to miss it.  Well, I wanted to commit to my desire to start a blog this week.  I want to make sure I do what I planned to do because I don't want to fail myself.  I was not always like this, but I remember at the Mary Kay Career Conference I heard something that someone said which have made me realize why I was going nowhere in life before.  This is what I was told at the conference "Hold on to your goal even if you have failed 10 times because the 11th time may be the time you succeed.  Without trying you will never succeed"  The reason I started this blog was to keep a journal for myself so I can look back at my journey to my successful Mary Kay business.  Also I want to be able to show others in the future who want to join Mary Kay Inc that there are no such thing as "easy money" or "easy success", every successful stories is written by a person who dare to dream and hold on to that dream until they succeed.

Writing this blog is also one of my many small goals.  I have always wanted to write a blog but I know my writing skills and grammar is not the best so I am embarrass to write one.  So bare with me and I promise to continue to improve my blog and my English writing skills.

ok, enough about my reason to writing my blog, I want to share about my day.  This morning I met up with my very first team member.  She have signed on a while ago but because of her busy full time work, she really didn't get a chance to attend meetings and learn all that is available for her, so I feel I have the duty to reconnect her to the MK world.  It was a great decision to do that, I have to give myself a pat on the back for reaching out to my team members because when we met up, I open up the opportunity to allow her to join me on my journey also allow her to ask questions & concern she have about her business.  I truly felt the purpose that Mary Kay Ash created this company for "Enriching Woman's live"

Other than that, my day was used up for catching up on paper work >.<

4 Days week is nice

Thank god it's a short week because I really feel like I need a good night sleep where I can sleep for more than 5 hours.  But I have to say, my week was actually very good.  I had appointments everyday, in fact my first facial this week was a really good one.  The lady loved me and the product, when I talked to her the next day, she said she have already been shopping on my website and cannot wait for our next appointment.  Having such a good facial to start off the week just gets me pumped and everything just flow very nicely this week.  I am so thankful for this opportunity because now I really get to enjoy what i do everyday.

One thing that I like alot about being my own boss is that I can do whatever I want throughout the day without having to take time off.  Today I was about to have coffee in the morning with one friend, than lunch with another friend than I worked for a bit to unpack all my new stock and meet up for a quick appointment, finally went out for a birthday dinner for my friend who's birthday was today.  I just think if I were to be working in an office full time, these kind of days will never happen.


Well this pretty much sums up my day.  I think it's time for bed, so I will chat with all of you later :)

My commitment

Ever since I decide to work my Mary Kay business as full time, I have fully committed myself into doing everything the way Mary Kay Ash have taught us.  One of my biggest commitment is to complete my "six most important things" every night before I go to bed and also get up at 7am every morning to call my director for my daily coaching.  I still remember the first day I was suppose to call her, I slept through my alarm and I was an hour late to call her, but now I get up before my alarm goes off.  Sometimes we talk about the same thing every morning (that's because I always have trouble finishing my six most important thing so every morning she hear at least 3 things was from the day before that was unfinished) anyway I think these morning calls are wonderful because it help me stay on track of my target goal.

Very Good Day

I always know that running your own business is not easy, but I believe as long as you find the fun and joy out of what you do than the job will become easier each day.  Today was a good prove to that theory.  This morning I gave facial to a lady that found me through the MK website.  I usually get very nervous meeting with new people because I always worry about not speaking clear enough.  So right before the start of the facial session I let the lady know that I have problem with my speech.  Just like many of us who have a curiosity, she asked me why, so I briefly explained to her about my tongue cancer experience, she was really nice and assure me that my speaking was totally fine.  I found when I tell people ahead of time about my difficulties, they become more patient and acceptance which also help calm my nerves.  I had a wonderful class with her and follow through with my flip chart all the way to the end.  YAY, for the first time I can actually finish my flip chart from the first page to the very last page.  She loved the product and she enjoyed the facial with me so she bought all the product that was demonstrated to her.  I also booked her follow up appointment to show her colour makeover.  It makes me feel so wonderful because I did what I was taught to do and it was not that difficult.  Later on when I called my Director to tell her my wonderful facial she asked me "So what did you do differently this time?" I said "The lady was a new person I met and I did my job."  Reader, this is what I have been told over and over in the past weeks, don't rely on your friends, get out of your comfort zone and do the best you can.  It was exactly what I did and the result was excellent.  Now I know it's not that difficult and I can DO IT.

Introductory Entry

Thanks to my hair dresser I was encouraged to start a blog.  She said she see a great future in me and she think I should document my journey so that other people can see what I need to go through in order to succeed.  What makes me successful right now is I took my first most important step - signing my Mary Kay agreement to be an independent Beauty Consultant.  This is the decision that changed my life and here is how it all begin...


Before becoming a Beauty Consultant I was a Structural Engineer (In Training) working in an office 8hrs a day, sometimes even more than 8hrs and sometimes it includes working weekend too.  As good as the "Engineer" title sounded I wasn't making a lot of money and I was having trouble making ends meet.  One time I was invited to a Mary Kay event to learn new makeup technique, honestly I was pretty bored at that event about 2/3 of the time, the actual makeup part was really really fun but the rest of it was kind of boring, I didn't care how well so and so did with her week.  But somehow I went back the second time for another spa event, the second time i was expose to the business opportunity and I learned that through Mary Kay I can earn extra money to help pay off my heavy loan AND I get to have business training for FREE.  That sold me, so I signed my Beauty Consultant agreement, I wanted extra money to pay off my loan and I wanted the free business training.  Since becoming a Beauty Consultant I learned to love myself more and how to set a goal for myself.  Most of all I was so inspired by many women in this business that I found the motivation in life.  I have been building my business for going on one year, what i love about my career choice is EVERYTHING, I love the fun, the flexibility, the products, the discount, the sharing and most of all I am always surrounded by wonderful women that are positive and have goals just like me.


This is how and why I started my Mary Kay business.  I Love it and I Enjoy every moment of it.
