hey all you wonderful MFP people! i'm wondering are their any other Mary Kay Consultants/Directors/NSD's out there in MFP world?

i'm trying to get my weight down, and my business up. i think part of the reason why i'm sitting at just consultant status(not even red jacket yet:frown: ) is because i'm still shy, and i'm letting my weight hold me back. i'm letting fear get to me.

things i know i can't really change though about it, is my friends and family, you know the people you are supposed to start and practice with, THEY WONT! i have like 3 people that will go to parties, and only 2 people who buy from me......but not much.

so besides letting my weight hold me back, and still being kinda shy, and the lack of family/friend support/help, i'm really running outta ideas. the shyness holds me back from doing restaurant events, and doing warm chatter. does anyone have any ideas/hints that helped them get farther in your own Mary Kay biz?

and to those na-sayers out there that don't like Mary Kay, please, really not looking for your negative thoughts here. so please save those for yourself. thanks.

anyone that can help out, i appreciate it. i can use all the ADVICE i can take! THANKS!




and if anyone is thinking i'm posting this to try and sell anything to people on here, I AM NOT TRYING TO SELL TO ANYONE ON HERE! i'm just looking for any helpful tips to have a successful biz here at home in my town, not online! thanks!

    I'm a Mary Kay Consultant too.

    Just keep your head up and don't think that when you're putting on a facial, or a show that people are judging you... trust me, they are not. In fact, they are probably more worried about being sans-makeup, right? Ha ha!

    Have you tried people at your work? What about at the gym?

    I have found that if I put on a "sale" of some kind... maybe 10% off all Timewise skincare, or 15% off all colour cosmetics, that people really respond to that. Create some kind of flyer and get it out there to your neighbours, people at the gym, people in your church or office???

    My friends suck too, don't worry about it, you are not alone! But it's not your friends job to make your business succeed, its your job, so forget about them. If they aren't willing to host a party for you to get the word out, then drop it, it's not for everyone. And don't be upset about it, it's just the way it is.

    The more confident you are, no matter what size, the better you will get at just being yourself. I think we have a habit of being our own worst judge.

    Feel free to friend me if you want to hash out some ideas. I only just got started about 6 months ago and I've got a "go with the flow" kind of attitude, but want to start amping up my business once summer is over.
