Disappointment
Illustration★★★★Mary Kay Ash died in 2001 aged 83. She was a “flashy, home-spun cosmetics
executive who helped push Mary Kay Inc. to sales of more than $1.2 billion
last year”…. “She started her company in 1963 with $5,000, after her male
assistant at a direct-sales company was promoted at twice her salary. ‘I
couldn’t believe God meant a woman’s brain to bring 50c on the dollar,’ she
said. Famously generous, Ash rewarded her loyal sales force of 40,000 with
minks, diamonds and her trademark pink Cadillacs.”
The point
Mary Kay Ash turned her disappointment at unequal pay into action, starting a company that became a billion-dollar enterprise and generously rewarded her loyal workforce.
