One Woman Can...

As I opened my introductory packet of Mary Kay products, I saw that this is their mantra.  Mary Kay Ash did it, all those years ago.  She started a company from nothing, and built it into a cosmetics empire.  Now mind you, I'm drawing from what information I have stored in my memory bank.  My info isn't much different than anyone else's.  I know that if you sell enough product, you can get an obnoxious pink Caddy.  Why don't I know more?  Because I've been staring at this box of goodies for over a month now and still haven't delved into it.  There are videos, manuals, even an autobiography.  This is all supposed to inspire me and make me super excited about the financial freedom that awaits me.  I believe it!  I just can't get myself to start.  Here we go again.

People have tried to convince me for years that I should be in sales.  True, I love to talk.  True, I can talk about pretty much anything.  And it is also true, that for some reason, people enjoy listening to me talk.  I'm not too sure, based on current readership, that they are equally enthusiastic about my writing.  I've thought about it a lot, but the fact is that I absolutely HATE asking anyone to buy anything.  If I could just lay the products out on the sidewalk and wait for people to pick them up, then I'd be willing.  But to go through a presentation, give a facial, a test drive, a tour...and then ask you to reach in your pocket and give me money...not really wanting to do that.  I just don't want to bother you.  I guess that makes me a terrible salesperson.

Still, I have the packet.  I paid for it.  There's tons of cool stuff in there and I should be using it and sharing it with others.  I'm working on it.  I actually have the contents on my bed, all around me, while I blog.  And then they'll be there while I surf the net, check out what's going on on Facebook, check my email (all three accounts) and my bank balance.  I think I'm procrastinating again.  I'll let you know how it goes.


 One Woman (I) Can.

I would SO drive this pink Caddy.
