Did you know that most Consultants go through a four-phase swing during their Mary Kay careers?  Not all of the phases are positive ones and its important for you to know how to work through them to keep yourself and your Mary Kay business thriving.

The first phase is excitement.   Youve caught the vision of where you can go and what you can do for yourself and your family through our Mary Kay opportunities!  You dont know or understand just how it will all come about, but you just know that it will.  Nothing can stand in the way of your pursuit of the Mary Kay dreamyoure ready to take on anything!

Then phase two hitsfrustration.  Things are not going as fast as youd like them to.  Can you relate to this?  Of course you can.  Weve all been there. We get impatient with our customers and ourselves.  We tell ourselves that nobody wants to book a class or buy Mary Kay cosmetics.

Then comes phase threethe crisis point.  Do you throw in the towel and shoot holes in your beauty case, or do you get your head straight and work it through?  Do you tell yourself that unit meetings are the last place youre going since you have not done anything to crow about?  Or do you tell yourself that unit meetings are where you need to be to get your act together?  The right question to ask yourself is the last oneas hard as it may be to push yourself to a unit meeting, its the best thing for you and your Mary Kay career right now.  Youll actually be glad you went.

The last phase is recommitment.  Youve made it!   Youve recovered from the situation and youre stronger for it.  Youve recaptured your dream, youre excited again, and ready for the next obstacle.  One thing is certaineach time you slip into the frustration phase, your trip back to phase one (excitement) get quicker and quicker, because you know the way!

Is it worth it?  Is your Mary Kay career worth the hassle of putting up with postponed classes?  Making yourself go to unit meetings and finding something to crow about?  Could you find this kind of never-ending excitement, supreme challenge, and positive attitude in any other job?  I wouldnt be the person I am today without the great opportunity Mary Kay gave me.  I have a healthy self-image and so many chances to share this positive way of life with other people.  Is Mary Kay worth it?  You bet it is!  We must never sell ourselves short.  Give yourself time to grow, and above al, never lose sight of your goals.  When you lose sight, then you
have time to see the obstacles that lie before you.  Remember Mary Kay sells dreams as well as cosmetics.

Resolve now to work through every phase two and never forget where you could be in six months, a year, three years, or five years from now if you just persist!  Sure, it can be difficult at times, but if you always look ahead and imagine a positive side to everything, youre going to go far with Mary Kay.  And pretty soon the positive things that you were imagining are coming true!!
