When the new Mary Kay year is about to begin, I know A LOT of consultants, directors, and Nationals all over the world don’t exhale for at least the last 3 weeks of June (if not longer) as everyone goes through the typical year-end push.
(By the way, if this article doesn’t apply to you, that’s great news! And there still might be some valuable information in here for you to help the women who are stressed out.)
I don’t know about you, but if my business had one month every year that I knew was going to be hectic, scary, nerve-racking, intense and pressure-packed, I’d find a new business! Seriously. I’ve been on death’s doorstep once already, so I want to enjoy this journey called life, and I’m not willing to live such a significant portion of my year on pins and needles.
Please don’t get me wrong, I’m NOT saying quit Mary Kay if you tend to get stressed out. I’m saying you should build your business exactly the way you want to experience it, so it’s profitable and joyful year-round, and now’s the best time to start.
I can’t even imagine how many women throughout the MK world last month pressured their team members and customers into orders (or at least tried to), burned a ton of bridges, maybe even ruined some friendships – over what? Numbers? Money? Recognition? That’s not worth it in my opinion. Especially when it can all be avoided…
But you better start now! The biggest mistake beauty consultants make is taking July off, or relaxing a bit on the heels of all the intense stress and run-around in June. Guess what? If you don’t change your recipe, you’ll be in the exact same stressed-out position in another 11 months, hoping for a June miracle so you can eek out your goals again.
That’s not fun! And that’s not why you joined this business, is it? Were you looking around the universe for an opportunity to give you way more stress than you’ve ever imagined, something to make your heart work overtime, give you sleepless nights and endless frustration? I assume not. So why does it happen to so many women year after year after year after year…?
Check back in with me over the next few days and I’ll give you tips on places to explore…
