There are many good thoughts in this book. Such as Mary Kay's definition of success as having a balanced life. She also thought it is important for women to be able to change from work hat to wife/mom hat when she comes home from work. And since the wife and mother usually sets the mood for her family in the morning, she encouraged her women readers to be positive and cheerful to set her family's tone for the entire day.

You can have anything in this world if you want it badly enough and are willing to pay the price. With you priorities in order, press on, and never look back. May all of your dreams come true. You can, indeed, have it all! ~ Mary Kay Ash

Women entrepreneurs haunt my bookshelves. Mary Kay's book was a fun read. Not all the practical applications are relevant to today (written in 1995) but the principles are timeless.

For any woman looking to have a business herself (or enjoys a good book about women and business!),...more

When you need a bit of inspiration, whether personal or business (maybe a bit of both), this is a good book to pick up.
Mary Kay has shit-tons of these books and I bought all of my at a thrift store in Montclair for a dime. She recycles the same stuff over and over again in all her books. Things have this weird fake corporate veneer that makes for some shockingly good reading. Oh the plucky anecdotes. She was a single mom and she sold her ass off door to door but she wanted more she took a leap of faith and blah blah blah giant pink house and women everywhere owe her big time! It's so great. I read it whenever I'...more
