Mary Kay

Has anyone had any luck selling Herbal Life, Avon or Mary Kay? Is it possible to make good money doing this?

My partner and I are looking for a legitimate business to work on together at home. Herbal Life, Avon and Mary Kay seem to be the only legitimate work from home businesses that we have heard of. Has anyone had any experiences with Herbal Life, Avon or Mary Kay? If there are any other legitimate businesses that others have heard of or have had success with, I would really like to hear from you!

Hi Lisa
I started my Mary Kay business 3 years ago simply for the product discount. I thought the business plan sounded too good to be true there had to be a catch and I was very apprehensive. I found it to be a fabulous company with unlimited possibilities. It is dual marketing so you by directly from the wholesaler which is the company and sell to your customer's no parties to submit or waiting to get paid. I came from a financial background so like you I research several companies since and found Mary Kay to be at the top of the list. It is truly like having your own business we have a saying your are in business for yourself but no buy yourself unless you want to be the support system is amazing however be sure whomever sponsors you into the company has your best interest at heart and is supportive or your goals whatever they may be you will be working close with this person so make sure you like them
I would be happy to mail you materials or answer any specific questions you have about the business opportunity.
Wishing you much sucess!

How much does it cost to start a Mary Kay business?

I am in grad school and thought I could make some money doing Mary Kay, how is the best way to go about this?

Hi! I am a Mary Kay Consultant. I started in February, so I have a good idea of the current costs!

Your Starter Kit only costs $100, but you need to place a $200 order to actually be considered an "active consultant." (That is $400 retail; you pay half price for everything.) Also, you need to order at least $200 ($400 retail) every 3 months (I think) to keep receiving that 50% price.

If you are going to get out there and start selling right away using your starter kit, it's not hard to do. But your Director may suggest you place that $600 order yourself so you can have more samples and "inventory."

I really like Mary Kay, but I do have to warn you that it is NOT a get rich quick company. You CAN get a lot of money, but it takes TIME and ENERGY, and most of the money comes from recruiting others. You really have to get out there and meet people and sell! They recommend giving 30 facials in 30 days as a "Power Start."

Mary Kay is a GREAT company....but it does take a lot of time, so maybe wait until after Grad school to start. I would rather you have a good experience with the whole process than feel "duped" and lose money because you just don't have the time to make it work for you!

Hope this helped!

[To receive bonuses..."An Independent Beauty Consultant's initial order with the Company must equal $600 or more in wholesale Section 1 products to be eligible (for the 50% price.)" That is $1200 retail. You can wait and get that in actual sales, but there is another free bonus for you if you place it within 15 calendar days. So, yes, the kit is $100, but they expect you to place an order fairly soon. And it does help you to have more stuff than just the starter kit!]

More Than A Million Folk Visit Medjugorje Every Year, Thousands Of Them Irish, And Most Come To Climb The Hill Where Six Locals Claim To Have First Seen And Spoken To The Virgin Mary In June 1981.

MORE than a million folks visit Medjugorje every year, thousands of them Irish, and most come to climb the hill where six neighbors claim to have first seen and spoken to the Virgin Mary in June 1981.

It is tough to find a pilgrim who does not speak of the peace and tranquillity of Cross Hill, site of the supposed apparitions that turned a remote and pauperised town into one of the most renowned corners of Bosnia.

Few visitors make the short trip from Medjugorje to Surmanci. It's only one or two miles from Cross Hill, but far removed from the boarding houses, restaurants and memento shops of its respected neighbour.

There's deep quiet in this place, but only those who don't know its history could talk of peace and tranquillity.

In August 1941, local members of the fascist Croat Ustashe organisation murdered some 600 Serb men, ladies and youngsters in deep natural pits on this barren plateau. Ethnic cleansing may have entered the lexicon during the 1990s Balkan wars, but it was grimly familiar to a prior generation of families from this area.

In the 1940s, the rough hills of Herzegovina saw vicious fighting between the Ustashe who ruled Croatia as a Nazi puppet state Serb jingoist Chetniks and the red Partisans controlled by Josip Broz Tito, who would ultimately prevail and govern Yugoslavia until his passing in 1980.

Each side committed gruesome atrocities, including Tito's Partisans, who slaughtered THIRTY Franciscan friars at Siroki Brijeg near Medjugorje, as punishment for supporting the Ustashe.

The Croat Catholic Church backed the Ustashe and its drive for an ethnically pure bigger Croatia, and several clergymen and Franciscan priests were accused of heinous war crimes.

After the war, Tito sought to neutralize the sourness between parts of the Yugoslav population by suppressing religion and nationalism. He pictured the inter-ethnic fighting as a easy struggle between nazi Ustashe and Chetniks and anti-fascist Partisans ; the latter had won, fascism had been routed and thus the roots of conflict had been removed.

In places like Medjugorje, though, the wounds never truly healed. Croats felt humiliated at being forced to build a memorial to the Ustashe's Serb victims at Surmanci, while official Yugoslav history pictured the Franciscans executed by Partisans at Siroki Brijeg as nazi villains.

The apparitions started at a tricky time for Yugoslavia : the stabilising force that was Tito had died the previous year and the Catholic Comradeship movement was roiling commie Poland, provoked by a new east Western European pope, John Paul II.

The Yugoslav authorities immediately denounced reports of the visions which took place just before the 40th anniversary of the Surmanci massacre as a "clerical-nationalist" conspiracy roughed up by Croat extremists.

Local Franciscans quickly took control of the Medjugorje phenomenon, declaring the children's visions to be real and installing themselves as intercessors between the young "seers" and a Croat public that was clamouring for religious experience after many years of official state atheism.

Loads of people were soon gathering in Medjugorje for daily "messages" from Our Woman ; the authorities arrested a local friar and others whom they suspected of inclusion in the purported hoax. Over time , however , the cash- strapped Yugoslav authorities realised the commercial potential of Medjugorje.

By the mid-1980s, Belgrade had no difficulty with the daily visions or visitors but the Catholic Church did.

The Bishop of Mostar, the senior church official in the area, has for years been at loggerheads with the Franciscans over their refusal to relinquish control over certain parishes in Herzegovina, where they have been present for centuries and enjoy the deep loyalty of area folk.

This dispute was raging when the visions began ; a few individuals assume the Franciscans used them or helped invent them to guard and augment their position in Medjugorje.

Unlike those at Fatima and Lourdes, the Vatican hasn't recognised the validity of the Medjugorje visions. In 2009 it defrocked a former Franciscan "spiritual director" to the visionaries amid claims that he exaggerated the apparitions and sired a kid with a nun.

Several other "disobedient" Franciscans have been expelled from the parish.

Like his predecessor Pavao Zanic, the Bishop of Mostar Ratko Peric is intensely suspicious about the "visions" and the way that the Franciscans and other groups have behaved in Medjugorje. Their striking comments on the phenomenon which suggest it is simply a rewarding hoax are posted in English on the diocese web site (cbismo.com).

Nonetheless the Franciscans of Herzegovina will not give up Medjugorje without struggling. They're hard and tenacious, as everybody from the Ottomans to Bishop Peric has discovered . During the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, Peric was abducted and beaten by Croat militiamen in a local Franciscan chapel, until UN troops and the mayor of Mostar secured his release.

The war freed another wave of ethnic cleansing in Herzegovina, much of it by members of the region's Croat majority, who flattened mosques and Orthodox churches as they drove Muslims and Serbs from their homes.

The memorial at Surmanci was blown up by Croats, lots of whom revelled in their Ustashe heritage.

A drip of travellers kept coming to Medjugorje throughout the war. Few maybe realized that atrocities were taking place nearby, or that their Queen of Peace had been dubbed the "Ustasha Virgin" by Serbs and Muslims who saw her as symbolic of Croatian ultra-nationalism.

Medjugorje last week marked THIRTY years since the apparitions began and the crowds are as large than ever before.

The Vatican is now inquiring into the apparitions and the many thousands of supposedly divine messages that have made Medjugorje's name.

For the church, the Franciscans, the people of Medjugorje and the visionaries as well as millions of followers a great deal rests on its decision,writes tagza.com.
