This morning my husband was watching “Dog the Bounty Hunter.” I sat down and joined him for a few minutes. It’s not really my kind of show. While I was watching, there happened to be a moment they showed his wife driving and applying makeup. Wouldn’t you know, it was Mary Kay! Yes, she was using what looked like an older pink version of the Color Palette. I was amused. 
This came to me on email from my director. What a great article! Not only should we apply this to our own appearances, but it certainly validates our roles as salespeople in the cosmetics industry!

I am going to read this at every class in the beginning….
To put it simply, makeup works. It’s a tool we can use to our advantage. More than a
method of covering complexion imperfections, it’s a form of communication, a means of
telegraphing to the world who we are and what we think.
Some of these frog things are getting repetitive. I may not continue to post them. They are good, just repetitive.
Eat that Frog—Tip 7
Obey the Law of Forced Efficiency

Frog Tip #6
EAT THAT FROG—Tip 6
Focus on Key ‘RESULT’ Areas
Question for you to ask yourself as you begin this tip…WHY am I a Beauty Consultant?
This is one of the most important questions you ever ask and answer—over and over again, throughout your career! (more…)
This installment had a lot of typos in it. Hopefully, I’ve corrected them all. 
This is really good for managing time and determining which tasks are most important, what can be done by someone else, and what can wait til another time. (more…)
Guess what! I was able to order after all! 
Not sure mine will feature samplers or not, but at least I was able to order. I went onto the PCP link just now and was able to successfully order The Look for Fall/Holiday! Woo hoo! 
UPDATE: OK. Last night I totally forgot to place my PCP order. Frantically, I emailed my director. Then, just for the sake of trying, I went on InTouch to see if I could enroll today. Well, I could! I just went on InTouch now and it says the new deadline is August 19! It’s not posted in the “News” section nor has it been emailed yet, but if you click on the Preferred Customer Program Link, underneath the big picture of The Look, it has the dates to enroll listed as July 15-August 19! Just wanted to make sure you are all aware so that if you forgot or had computer issues or whatever, you can enroll thru Sunday, August 19!!!
And now it is officially added to the News section on InTouch:
Important Notice Regarding the Preferred Customer Program
The deadline to enroll customers to receive the Fall/Holiday 2007 issue of The Look has been extended till midnight Central Time on Sunday, August 19, 2007.
I think this is great news! Too bad I forgot to do my PCP list like a dummy. 
I’m going to call the company and see what I can do. I have never missed a quarter! 
The Fall/Holiday 2007 Holiday Wishes Purse Set hostess gift is extra special, as 100 percent of the proceeds will benefit the Mary Kay Ash Charitable Foundation. To be sure that as many independent sales force members as possible can share this distinctive item, for this quarter, we will change how this hostess gift can be purchased. We also will continue to evaluate other ordering criteria options throughout the remainder of the year. (more…)
If I lived in the Dallas area I would so do this!

I’m getting caught up with these frog tips! This article has some MK related examples in it. It is important to think about the outcome in making a decision to act. Think of the positive potential outcomes and use that as motivation to actually complete the task. Perform the task based upon the potential positive outcome rather than making excuses to abandon the task altogether. (more…)
Frog Tip #3 is the 80/20 rule. I have heard this not only from my director, but in other areas of life as well. The 80/20 rule is basically that 20% of your activity will produce 80% of your results. So, the small things count! Read on:
TIP 3—EAT THAT FROG!
Apply the 80/20 Rule to Everything

This rule is often referred to as the “Pareto Principle”, (more…)
