Commitment To Succeed
IllustrationStory★★★★In 1963, Mary Kay Ash and her husband invested their life’s savings in Mary Kay Cosmetics. A month later her husband died, and she was told by her attorney and other advisors to liquidate the company in hopes of salvaging some of her investment. Instead of quitting, she pressed on. Later, her accountant told her that she paid too much commission and that she couldn’t succeed without reducing her pay scale. Again she failed to heed the advice and eventually built one of America’s largest cosmetic companies.
The point
Mary Kay Ash ignored discouraging advice after her husband's death and pressed forward to build one of America's largest cosmetic companies.
