Mary Kay's Accomplishments

Mary I would say had a difficult childhood. She was born July 19th 1817 Mount Vernon, Ohio. Her Dad was a farmer, but her Mom died when Mary was 17 months old! So, because of her death her Dad sent her off to live with Mary’s grandparents. Well her grandparents died so she went to live with her Uncle, he was a farmer also. She was taught only the basics of school, yet she went to Oberlin College which

Mary Kay was started in Dallas, Texas, with only five products. The entrepreneur, Mary Kay Ash, biggest dream was to transform; inspirer and help women obtain success.

University while working a full time job. Being forced to drop out was very hard for Mary. She did not let this unfortunate situation dampen her ambition. “She just had to quickly recalibrate her ambitions. She still had big dreams-maybe she could become an entrepreneur, open a beauty salon or own her own

At age 50, Mary started to step down from direct management of the business and focused more on social issues. Her last home was at Newtown, Sydney. She died in this house on May 30, 1855 soon after her 78th birthday.

To begin with her first accomplishment, she started to sell hair products after her bad experience of scalp ailment. Walker’s bad case of hair loss made her engrossed about how to properly care for thick-coarse hair and she began advertising products (Madam CJ Walker Timeline). She was a sales agent for Annie Malone, but she was not creating her own brand just yet (The Philanthropy Hall of Fame).She was

Mary, had a peculiar childhood that consisted of things like gaining the throne to rule a country at a young age and almost being killed. When Mary was six days old her father died and so she became Queen of Scotland at a very young age. Due to this at the age of six years old she was handed over to the King of France. When Mary was eight “a man named Robert Stuart and purported to be an English spy was accused of attempting to poison Mary Stuart before her mother's departure” (marie-stuart.co.uk). Addition to this complicated childhood Mary was betrothed at a young age.

Madam CJ Walker was a force to be reckoned with. She was one of the most successful female entrepreneurs during a male-dominated era and owned one of the most successful African-American business. Not only successful in her self-made career, Madam Walker was also a devoted mother and a social activist. Before inventing her line of hair care products, Madam Walker worked for as little as $1.50 a day to raise her daughter and save for her education. Suffering from a scalp disorder, Madam Walker experimented with hair care products and created her own formula. She traveled the South and Southeast regions, going door-to-door selling her products. After establishing

Mary Kay Ash was a hard-working, diligent and responsible woman, who not only had an academic responsibility but a family one as well. Ms. Ash showed many virtues and one of her virtues that I believe we share is the virtue of commitment. She has shown it when keeping up with her academics when the times got difficult which is how I maneuver my life as more and more obstacles come my way. We both hold a commitment to our families, I do my best to help in the house, at our small business and help my brother and cousins with their academics. My commitment to my family stems from the gratitude and desire that I have to help them as they are not only strong and independent people but people who love me for who I am and will support me on my academic

Mary was a successful educator, writer, translator, activist, reformer, wife and mother. She was one the most influential in the creation of a new education system, and a supporter of the change in the meaning of the true woman of her time. She wrote and published more six books, and many articles. One of Mary lifelong goal was to transform the lives of all young girls and their mothers through education. She worked and support her husband to do more for the American schools. She died February 11, 1887, at the age eighty in an apartment she shared with Elizabeth.

Her accomplishments were achieved by writing her books about women's rights and how women are being treated unfairly because of their gender. She also wanted woman to receive education too. I think this person is considered an important historical figure because she spoke out about the unfair treatment of women and how education is important to women too. She wrote many popular books, including A Vindication of the rights of Woman showcasing her opinion on society. Mary is considered the “Mother of feminism” because she was one of the first women to speak out against the unfair treatment of woman.

Her father taught her many lessons about the business world, for he was always investing in new businesses or starting new businesses himself. Over his life time he owned, and operated dozens of businesses’. She learned many of her entrepreneurship skills from her father. After high school she attended Kansas State University where she met my grandpa. Like many woman in college at that time, she quite college in order to follow her husband.

Bobbi Brown began her extensive beauty company in 1991. At this time, her line of cosmetics featured only a mere 10 shades of lipsticks. She was astounded when the debut of her company sold more than 100 tubes on its first day, and knew that her company would be ultimately successful.

Mary Kay, Inc. was founded in 1963 by Mary Kay Ash as Beauty by Mary Kay. Mary Kay is a direct sale type of company, with “independent beauty consultants” that sell and market Mary Kay products (2012 Corporate Fact Sheet). Mary Kay Ash operated with the mindset of “God First, Family Second, and Career Third,” and always adhered to the golden rule, do to others as you’d want them to do to you (Kerin, Et. Al). Mary Kay, Inc. first entered the global market in 1971 with its expansion into Australia. Today, Mary Kay is represented in over 35 global markets (2012 Corporate Fact Sheet). Mary Kay is challenged to ensure brand consistency across the world, despite differences in cultures from market to market. As such, Mary Kay would be considered a transnational firm. They tie the similarities between each market together while celebrating the differences in each market. This strategy allows them to offer Mary Kay’s core product lines globally where they’re most desired.
