Dear Scintillating Superstars,

It’s October of 2009, and I’m back

from my 22nd Miller Area Retreat. Sandy

clearly acknowledged that this is the time for

us to grab the window of opportunity and

finish up our National goal. We will have the

privilege of being her FIRST DEBUTING

NATIONAL AREA.

Twenty two years ago when I

drove to that retreat by

myself for the first

time, I was Nadine’s

one-month-old brand

new consultant. I

was nervous, I didn’t

know my roommates,

and I had never met

Sandy. I don’t have one

picture from that event. I

didn’t know anyone to stand

next to. However, I can remember

that I was mesmerized by the skill of the

directors and the vision Sandy and Nadine

and Judi shared about this Mary Kay Career

Opportunity.

I remember taking copious notes on

how to do a great skin care class. I hadn’t

even entertained the thought of asking

someone else to join, but I somehow knew I

wanted more. My limited experience was going to the Ramada Inn for a weekly

meeting. I realized that MK is so much more

than that. What I did next was take my

notes home and I went to work. You can ask

Nadine.

I know I did 3 to 5 appointments a

week, and I sold a whole lot of product.

I know that when I went back to retreat

the following year, I had 5 team

members with me, and I wore a red

jacket. The next year in 1990, I had just

returned from training in Dallas

because I was now one of

those directors!

And 22 years

later, I again

drove to the retreat by

myself. But

when it was

time for

pictures, there were

15 directors

surrounding me, a whole

posse of our consultants piled around

us is black sweatshirts, and an amazing

number of AWARD WINNING

consultants were on the courts. Did I

imagine this scene 22 years ago...nope! I

sure didn’t.

What did you do since you came

home from Sandy’s Retreat 2009?

Where do you envision yourself in 2010? How do you think we’ll arrange

the pictures we’ll be taking next year?

Where will you fit in? I think I see lots

of room for lots of faces. Hope you

want yours to be one of them.

As always,

THIS MONTH’S ISSUE OF:

IF SHE CAN, I CAN! Each month I will feature a different Future Martin Area Director in our newsletter.

Directors have all gone through many of the same issues that you have or may go through in your life and career.

Director Name: Grace Lemke

Former Occupation: Dental Hygienist

City/State: Makoketa, IA

Joined Mary Kay: April 3, 2002

Debuted as a Director: December 1, 2003

# of months driving free: 6 years

Highest commission check in one month: $6,005

What was the sequence of events that brought you into the company (recruiting layering process)? I met Jeanie through her daughter, Nicki, at a Christmas party. I shared with her that I was looking for a consultant. I had a Mary Kay party with a few friends and Jeanie as my consultant. I called her four months later and asked for more information on the company and signed the next day.

Why did you join? I wanted choices for the family we were considering, but more so, I felt that I

was called to do so. I always believed that I was meant to make a difference, to affect a lot of people in a really positive way, and that my life was supposed to be filled with thousands of amazing experiences and deep meaningful relationships. And...it is!

Why did you want to be a director? I wanted to hang with the big girls. I wanted to know what they knew. I knew it was the next step towards my bigger goal of becoming a National Sales Director. Mostly, I wanted to become a stronger, more self-assured woman and leader for my baby girl. Becoming a director would help me do that.

Has there been a dark season in your Mary Kay career? If so, how did you come through it? Absolutely. You can’t just have mountain tops, and wouldn’t appreciate them if I hadn’t been through the valley. Our son was having unexplainable symptoms, behaviors, and delays. I was having health issues, was trying to run a business, deal with two toddlers, and found out I was expecting again. A time of doubt, fear, and frustration came, personally and professionally. I was seriously ill from the pregnancy, and spent a lot of time in the hospital. I worried about whether I could hold on to what I’d built, and if I should. I worried about being the leader they needed. It was humbling and heartwarming to watch my unit surround me, to work more than they had before to make sure our numbers were strong as always, even without my help. They made us meals and prayed for us daily. It taught me to be vulnerable, to appropriately allow others to see my struggle, to depend on others, and to accept and embrace their help. It overwhelms me still to think of how much I was loved through that time.

Page 11

What is the one thing that was difficult for you or you were afraid of in this business? I have really had to fight back against self comparison. I’ve typically been good at everything I’ve tried, and because I’m fiercely determined, I worked hard to make myself good at anything that challenged me, thus becoming good at it relatively quickly. This business didn’t come as easily to me, and I had to face skills that weren’t natural talents, but ultimately proved to myself that I can learn any skill and that Mary Kay is a skill-based business that anyone can learn.

During what time period did you have the greatest growth of income and what was the growth? I believe I’m currently in that time. My unit is growing from 60-100 and we’re preparing for one if not three offspring to help finish Jeanie’s National qualifications. It’s a time of strong women learning the skills of the business, and enforcing the elbow grease that our unit is known for to create amazing lives for themselves and their families!

What do you attribute the growth? I worked, as the leader, through my personal beliefs, my personal skills, and through my personal valleys, and stayed the course so it’s my turn, our turn, to see the mountain top on the other side!

My Dream Corner… I’m dreaming of how it will feel on

November 1st when we assess who will be ready and willing to

submit or continue with DIQ requirements. Is your face in one

of the pictures of directors-to-be? Will we see clearly the 5 to

10 DIQs we need to finish up PRE NIQ qualifications by March

1st?
