Tribute To Mary Kay Ash – Zig Ziglar

Mary Kay Ash – left to raise children on her own pursued direct sales as a way to balance provision and nuture. She ended up starting her own direct sales company selling high quality beauty products to women.

Zig Ziglar remembers Mary Kay Ash in this article from ChristianBusiness.net.

In my autobiography I talk about my “Wall of Gratitude,” which features the pictures of 26 men and women who have had a huge impact on my life. I mention the fact that six of those people were women, and one was Mary Kay Ash.

My admiration for Mary Kay grew over the years as I witnessed the impact she was having not only on the hundreds of thousands of Mary Kay Directors and Beauty Consultants, but their families, communities and society in general as well. She always emphasized to them that they must put God first, family second and their Mary Kay business third. Her impact was felt around the world, and on the personal side I was privileged to watch her at the National Conventions stand by the hour, smiling broadly as her picture was taken with anyone who wanted a picture with her. Over the years hundreds of Mary Kay people have told me what that meant to them and what she had meant to them. She was truly an icon with a dream of giving women a legitimate opportunity to build a career while maintaining balance in their lives.
