Most people live and die with their music still unplayed,” Mary Kay Ash once said. “They never dare to try.” Ash was not one of those people. Raised in a time when few women were in business, let alone successful in business, Ash broke down barriers on her rise up to creating a multi-billion dollar operation.
Today, Mary Kay Cosmetics Inc. continues to be a leader in the industry, with outlets in over 30 countries that are staffed by 1.6 million employees.
Ash once said that “people fall forward to success.” In her case, it seems she didn’t fall so much as she ran towards her dreams. With ambition and determination, Ash created not only a successful billion-dollar company but also one of the few to be featured three times in Fortune magazine’s “The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America.”
How did Ash break through the glass ceiling of gender discrimination to become a household name around the world?

The Driving Force, that could be Your Passport to Wealth.
By Mark Sneed
Wake up and look around you. Success is passing you by if you’re not benefiting from your own profitable business. But, are there any drawbacks? Today 1 out of every 4 business models, fail. Why? Honestly, so many individuals today are trying to re-invent the wheel. Entrepreneurs are working in self-defeating modes. Why not pursue the path of success? Mimic what works based on past and present performance. Follow a leader in the industry. The old adage says: “Work smarter, not harder”. The only way to accomplish this is to learn the lessons of success from those who know success. If you want to be a millionaire, you need to think, act, and believe like one. Likewise, if you want to have a successful business model, you must use one that has succeeded.
Does all this take work? Sure, no doubt. Anything of great value takes effort. Today nothing comes free. What’s the difference? Well, it’s your business, your schedule, your income. You working for yourself and changing your life all at the same time.
Imagine if you will what it would be like to create your own schedule, vacation at your leisure, and have time for family. All this while having an income that before was only a dream. What I am sharing with you can be a reality. Using a business model that has already been created and confirmed, you too can have phenomenal success in your life today!
When I started with a true financially proven system, I truly believed in my heart that things could be better. I believed that this was the way to become wealthy and I knew I deserved to live this lifestyle. I never thought it wouldn’t work, I always knew it would. Believe in yourself, the force and path to success is waiting for you. Take hold of your passport to wealth and start “living” life.
Begin now to “reach high”!
