Having built a successful Mary Kay business myself and having worked with several Mary Kay Consultants and Mary Kay sales Directors from different backgrounds, I have learned one very important lesson…
Not Guarding Your Emotions Will Cost You Big Time:
I believe as a Mary Kay Consultant or Mary Kay Sales Director you really have to learn how to guard your emotions if you want to build a strong and successful Mary Kay home based business. When you do so and someone on your Mary Kay team or Mary Kay Unit quits or someone says no to you, you just brush it off and not feel bad for you, instead you will feel bad for them.
You cannot beg and plead with people to join your Mary Kay Team Or Mary Kay Unit or to stay in the business. You can only share with them or teach them how to. Educate yourself on how to become a better mentor and do your part as their recruiter or director. Then allow them to decide what they want to do with their business. Remember they are called “Independent Mary Kay Consultants“?
Being an independent contractor gives them freedom to make their own Mary Kay business decisions. People do not care how much you know but truly want to know how much you care for them. You have to love and care for them without being emotionally attached.
A great MAJORITY of Mary Kay consultants and Mary Kay Sales Directors make the huge mistake of becoming emotionally attached to their prospects and their team and then they get crushed when the prospects says no or when the team member decides to call it quit. You must guard your emotions to survive in Mary Kay Cosmetics or any other direct sales marketing business.
You are not tied to any one person or to your Mary Kay Unit. If all you see is the volume/production that a particular Mary Kay Consultant in your unit or team was producing or how many people that person could have brought, then you are wrong and selfish.
We say no all the time to different things. Why is it that in Mary Kay people get so super glued attached to their team or units? Is it because you were told you have to love and care for them?
Loving and caring is all good and in fact that is what you should do as a leader, but what they do not teach you is to not be attached to your team or to your Mary Kay Sales Director or Mary Kay National Sales Director.
The following Poem explains it all:
“People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life” (Anonymous)
So, set free the Mary Kay Consultants who want to go and know that God has more in store for you ONLY you learn how to let go and let God.
Mary Kay business may not be their cup of tea and you have to accept the truth. Maybe their season is over or their purpose has been fulfilled. Learn More Here or Visit www.successfromhometraining.com
