Career Blocks

Oftentimes, I am my greatest obstacle. I will sometimes rationalize my way out of a great opportunity. It's unfortunate but I know I am not alone in my human nature. I remember when I was a Mary Kay Lady, to help consultants overcome their personal roadblocks, i.e., self, they would suggest you take the 100 "NO's" challenge. Your only goal was to accumulate 100"No's" in one month's time. Very effective, no consultant in the history of Mary Kay has ever achieved that goal starting out. The exercise helps you to realize no is just another word. It's not a rejection against you personally.

Are you having challenges in your business, career or relationships? Can you apply Mary Kay's 100 No's rule to boost your sales or career? I know I could!

I am asking all to join me in a 100 No's Challenge. We will meet back here next week for an update! Good luck!

Time & Opportunity

The Human Spirit is amazing. Our dedication to overcome adversity, conquer our fears and soar to greater heights than we can even dream possible is endearing. Currently our country is faced with a turbulent economy and millions of people are unemployed. However in the May 11 issue of BusinessWeek it declares the US has three million job openings. I haven't read the article yet but I hope that it is filled with hope for a dismal reality. I am an advocate of creating your reality and becoming free to the ideas of change. Change is the great equalizer. It is not specific to woman or man.

For those who have suffered from injustice, prejudice and other terrors globally. It's your time. Find the Spirit that is within you and rise. See opportunity where there is tradition. Redefine the standard and reset the bar. We live in a world that is so much greater than our group or race or even country. We are more connected to each other than ever before. That's why this year we want to reach those that are entering the workforce and need skills training. We are going to give it to you for free. Stay tuned!
