Yep, I feel the  same way too, and even better because, I can be honest and genuine. 

This is definitely important! 

Off track a little bit - A wonderful plus is that sometimes, if you compliment someone on their company's "contact us" section of their Web site, you end up with a freebie.   Once, we had an amazing server at LongHorn Steakhouse.  She delivered the kind of service you would only expect at a highbrow restaurant.   We tipped her big and then I went to the LongHorn Web site and sent an email about how great she was.   The District manager was so excited to not get a complaint email that he sent me a $50 gift certificate.    My husband got a gift certificate at Brighton for complimenting the woman who helped him pick out a little gift for me.

I became a lot more assertive and better about standing up for myself, as well as voicing my concerns and needs.  I have more self-confidence and also learned one more thing that doesn't work for me.   

I don't feel like I gained these things from the company, but rather from the experience.  I went to 2 meetings the entire time (all 4 months of it) that I was a consultant.   I honestly don't know anymore about MK now then I did before I started.  I didn't even know I had a product guide or what it was until I decided to quit.  Tells ya how great of a support system I had!  My recruiter is a wonderful lady and I enjoy talking to her, but she wasn't much help for me with Mary Kay.  I've learned to stand up to her and ask for what I need rather than just listening to what she had to say and pretending to agree...not something MK would probably go for.   

I've learned some not so nice things about myself - i'm a procrastinator and at times i do things without thinking them thru fully (product purchases), but i've learned that I can be ok with just me and that i'm a good mother to my children and a great wife to my husband.

i'm learning to speak to strangers and give them compliments (for no reason other than it makes them smile).

i love to help people, even if some times it turns out to be more of a pain. I chalk that up to what goes around comes around and i don't need bad stuff coming back to me just because someone else is being petty.

i've learned to be a bit more outgoing, although i'm really only comfortable with people i've known a while.

I definitely found my place with Jesus because of MK.

I have made some wonderful friends and I pray that we will be able to stay in touch.

I learned how to take care of my skin as I wasn't prior to MK.

I learned that a SINCERE compliment can make the biggest difference in someone's life.

I learned that women yearn for TRUE friendship and will go to extremes to find it.

I learned that there are women out there with the ability to look you dead in the eye  & LIE.  (In the name of GOD no less... )

I am thinking that God has chosen MK as a way to get women to hear His name and to reach for Him in the valleys.  He must get proud when we get angry over  doing the things that they do in HIS name!

Most importantly, I learned that I AM somebody. Not because I sold a moisturizer or eye color.  That NOT sticking inventory did NOT make me any LESS a somebody.  That YES God has great things and blessings planned for us, but that doesn't necessary mean a pink caddy or $$$.  He has blessed me with you all.  No amount of $$ could have bought that for me.  I Love you all and again I say to UYC I am so happy that God gave you the means to create this site!  Kuddos and blessing to you!

 

The best thing I've learned is to make other people feel special!  It is true that a sincere compliment can make someone's day!!

I agree with everything that has previously been said.   

But I think the thing I learned the most, is that I really like my Comfort Zone exactly where
it is!!
