Reading Reflection No. 3

Miracles Happen by Mary Kay Ash

• What surprised you the most? How driven this woman was and how much she cared about her employees. She was extremely smart and valued the people who drove her product and business by rewarding them. 
• What about the entrepreneur did you most admire? Mark Kay Ash was a strong woman, that is hard not to admire. Instead of going for an everyday job, she stepped out of her element and created a business that benefited others. 
• What about the entrepreneur did you least admire? There wasn't anything that I didn't admire about her. She loved pink and was a strong woman. 
• Did the entrepreneur encounter adversity and failure? If so, what did they do about it? She encountered failure after not being promoted in her previous jobs before the business. She rose above it and created a cosmetic company that profited tremendously. 

2) What competencies did you notice that the entrepreneur exhibited? 

3) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.

To me, it was confusing how much she believed makeup was such a necessity. I mean, I love makeup but that doesn't make a woman. 

4) If you were able to ask two questions to the entrepreneur, what would you ask? Why? Was there ever a day where you decided to keep your face pure and not put product on it? Do you truly believe that your product will help a woman face with aging

5) For fun: what do you think the entrepreneur's opinion was of hard work? Do you share that opinion? In my book, her opinion of hard work was pushing. In sales, you must know your product and love it. There also is a pushy side to it. To be successful in sales you have to be a little pushy, if you give up to easily, you give up your sale.
